Radiohead NUDE: Schrödinger's Mac remix
2008 - Radiohead recently made stems [individual tracks] available to anyone who wanted to remix NUDE, a track off of their latest album, In Rainbows. I decided to only use the vocal and drum track, and took a shot at reharmonizing the melody. They had a contest. I missed the deadline. I am a winner in my own mind.
Music for a Midsummer Night's Dream
2008 - Sometime last year my friend Rick Eldredge asked me to write music for a play he was directing for a High School in Roklin, CA. I’ve known Rick since before either of us could walk. As kids growing up in the subdivisions of Santa Rosa, we came up with some pretty creative ways of entertaining ourselves. [rick and I had a rock band and recorded several concept albums while in elementary school, wrote and illustrated a library of choose-your-own-adventure books, built countless projects and objects that often involved boobytraps of some kind, or burning and/or exploding things, and what wasn’t meant for destruction was usually a complex construction on either a very large or very small scale.] Our building material of choice was, of course, tape. Our recording medium was, of course, Tape.
So it was really fun all these years later to collaborate yet again, to provide a score for Rick’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, to have a cast of incredibly talented and enthusiastic high school kids to do Rick's bidding, and to pick up where we left off, all those years ago. The play turned out to be a big success, and here is a sampling of some of the score I recorded.

A fond farewell to music i made in 2006 and prior, originally pod-cast via Circuit73’s Siladi Podcast. This “medley” of sorts is the culmination of a constantly evolving Ableton Live session i had going. The arrangement was a live performance, along with much of the bass guitar and signal processing being recorded on the fly. For those of you curious about such things, most of the original music was created using Logic Pro, then fricasseed in Ableton. Goodbye crazy speedfreak goth girl who stumbled in the shop, goodbye malibu,, goodbye 2006…
