Albums
There have been only rare times when I have gathered various works I have done into what could be called an album. Sadly, some of them have been lost to time and advancing technology (if only I could find something that would play my old four-track cassettes, I'd have lots of other stuff). Here are some albums I have put together.
These tracks are available free of charge for your listening pleasure, but they are NOT public domain. I retain all rights to every bit of music on this page. Please don't steal from struggling artists.
If you would like permission to use any of the material here, just let me know.

The Eight Year War2008 Everything on this album was recorded in the month of February 2008 as part of the annual RPM Challenge, something I felt I really needed to do and I'm glad I did. These songs are very roughly done due to the speed at which they were written and recorded. Some I hope to redo someday (though it's unlikely I will). Others are about as good as they are going to get. Download full album in zip file | View lyrics and song write-ups Track List:

Demo 20002000 I recorded this material over a pretty long stretch of time from the late 90s and early 2000, and finalized it in May of that year. It was the first decently mixed digitally mastered album's worth of material I'd really put together, though some of the recordings had been done as many as four years before I compiled everything. The music on this album is the stuff I've been showing people for years. It's more where I've come from than where I am now, but I still think there are some strong bits here.

Diatribes2009 The first track explains the album better than I could in the little space that's here. Essentially these are all spoken word pieces with audio backgrounds. Like The Eight Year War, these were recorded for the RPM Challenge, this time for 2009. This was an incredible rush job. I had no equipment, so I used previously recorded tracks and had a (very obviously) synthetic voice do the performance. This is not typical of my work by any measure.It was more like therapy than anything else. Download full album in zip file Track List:
