Hello! Video Reprise
Couldn’t help myself, we just had all those nice instruments sitting there, and who doesn’t love a reprise.
Rob a Train
Not sure what we were going for here.
Intertime
I think I spent too much time on the bus.
Celofoam
I believe I had just gotten a copy of Reason at the time, which had fantastic evolving synth sounds. Play it loud… but not too loud. It’s a loud track. If you’ve ever listened to Medicine, you know what I was aiming for.
Moving Pictures
Song kept building. Rare attempt at sincerity in songwriting. Don’t hold me to it.
Irata
Don’t you know, that’s Atari spelled backwards. Boy can you hear that guitar buzz.
Celebrated
Not much point but the playing-with of the knobs on the devices. The real goal was the video for the show.
Hello! Video Theme
During 2002 and 2003, I curated a number of video “shows” in Portland. At first they were all at Bar of the Gods, and so I wrote a theme song (and produced a video). A bit tongue in cheek.
Starvation
Abandoned demo, perhaps rightfully so.
The Victim
A demo of a song I would return to years later.
