SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist.ABOUT
Lead vocals/guitar/synths etc for the band DIVVISIONS (check us out here on Bandmix by searching for, uh, DIVVISIONS). That'll give you an idea of what I sound like. My solo work tends to be more electronic-based; consequently, the band is going that way, too.

Heaven
HeavenEntry 8 in the Breaktime Sessions, a series of short recordings that I'll be making on my lunch break at work. It's intended to be a short-lived run of tracks which I expect will mostly have an unfinished quality to them, but that isn't the point--the goal is to get my head out of the day-to-day grind and indulge in pointless but fun creative exercises.

Gaslit Nation (N'Farrious Outro Theme)
Gaslit Nation (N'Farrious Outro Theme)I created this piece of music after listening to the podcast Gaslit Nation for several weeks. I sent it to hosts Sarah Kendzior and Andrea Chalupa and, much to my surprise, they've been using it as the outro music on recent shows! Listen to the first episode it appeared in at https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/gaslit-nation/e/56322990?autoplay=true (skip straight to the 1:51:40 mark for the music, but definitely listen to the whole show and all of the others they've posted).

Sparks (Demo)
Sparks (Demo)This one had some potential. I'll probably revive it with my band @DIVVISIONS at some point. Needs a lot of work, though.
-
Dumb Rock Song (Demo)
Dumb Rock Song (Demo)Another demo I've had kicking around. It's... not great. I rather like the verse riff, though--a bit of a jangly feel, if played properly. I'll probably keep that and re-home it.
-
Art Attack (Demo)
Art Attack (Demo)A very early, and very bad, attempt at some art punk. The bridge is nice, though--two different chords played over one another is a nice effect.
-
Dub Menace (Demo)
Dub Menace (Demo)A terrible PiL ripoff that I never got around to improving. It's pretty bad, overall, but it has a vibe. Whatever.

Cheesy 90s Big Beat (Demo)
Cheesy 90s Big Beat (Demo)This is actually kind of awful. I mean, I liked it for a little while when I started working on it, but I abandoned it before I even put a bassline to it because let's be real--it's not going anywhere useful.
-
Freaky Seq (Demo)
Freaky Seq (Demo)I dunno, this one kind of feels like it could be a soundtrack for something... not sure it's especially useful, but I'm sharing it now because it has a thing that I kind of like. Doesn't really go anywhere, but that's not the point.

Bad Panda Theme
Bad Panda ThemeA short piece of music composed for Best Not Broken's "Bad Panda" promo videos. It was intended to capture the character's sassy, defiant, and ultimately sort of creepy attitude.

Unbridled BadasseryThis is a piece that was commissioned for a commercial by Overland Safety Systems (http://www.overlandsafety.com). I don't normally play or write hard rock, but I gave it a shot anyway and this was the result!
