about

This track is an online collaboration between me and some of my good friends. While writing my undergraduate thesis I went downstairs at two and the morning in I-House to the laundry room to get a snack from the vending machine. It was very lonely, but then, from nowhere, the ice machine dropped a bunch of ice... clunk, clunk, clunk. As a means of procrastination, I wrote the first verse.

It was the first 'song with words' I wrote. Nick, Stephanie, and David Bolin would make fun of me for not having anything else than the first verse. It was also my contribution to our performance at Mule Days 2006 (Bishop music festival) where we were raising money for our roadtrip to New Orleans. I made Stephanie's mom crack up.

Fast-forward, and David's gone back to Sweden. I set up a website with the song on it and ask them all to write a verse and lend a harmony. What ends up is much more than the sum of its parts and was a thoughtful postgraduation gift to me.

Thanks Guys!

lyrics

Two in the Morning and the Moon I see
A pain in my back and my throbbing knee
Writing a thesis no one will see
Just me and the Ice Machine

Welcome to my home for my music on the internets. Most of the music you'll find here is from my habit of home recording, which I've been doing for almost as long as I've been playing guitar. Its evolved over the years from guitar loops to acoustic guitar to my current electronic meanderings. I've also posted some live bootlegs of Mycology(my JamBand), me playing jazz. Enjoy! ... more
