Happy Valentine’s Day
The melody came from my discovery that I could randomly drop blocks onto the grid in a music app, quantize it and tweak it a bit, and it wouldn’t sound half bad. Featuring disposable drums at the mercy of a three-button mouse.
No Apology
An early draft of a song that would later become Tellin a Lie. And get a lot better.
Amazing
My attempt at writing the simplest song possible. As is typical with constraints, I ended up with something more interesting than I had expected. If not for the hideous drum fill, this might have been a contender.
Tellin a Lie
Two dueling acoustic guitars, two vocals, computer-generated drums and bass… some of the vocals were regrettable but I didn’t save the multitrack, so I was never able to revisit it and give it the love it probably deserved. All the love came later. Favorite moment is the breakdown at around 1:15. Not sure where that…

It means “I be money” and that’s the goal. No idea what it meant when I wrote it, just thought it fit its place in the song. Wasn’t entirely convinced as to what I was singing there anyway, just let inspiration run its course. Sound of hammering notes from electric piano was a pleasant surprise.
