about

these songs appeared on the 'various recordings 2002 - 2005'
cassette i circulated last year. they were all on the 'song pieces'
side of the tape. the collage is among the collages i made for this
release. and for some reason it is one of my favorites. the songs
of 'song pieces' really do chart my progress as a songwriter - tho
it really isn't fair to say this due to all the great contributions made
by other people, but needless to say, the group and collaborative
part of what this is all about has always contributed to the songs
i write and as well the experiments i undertake.

i am still learning as i go along, i guess.

thank you

released April 19, 2016

four songs (baby screams):

1. 'stephen's song' began life as a song i originally titled
'rotation program' that i had written for a songwriting
class in college. the arrangement was mine, though
i would never have been able to make the drum edits
without alex moomey. alex also provided a guitar &
keyboard delay effect. it also sounds as though he & i
each may have played a detuned guitar. i played
acoustic guitar & drums throughout. also, the lyrics for
this song were something of a found object by way of
a letter i found on campus addressed to a guy named
stephen combined with the refrain from 'rotation
program'. a friend of mine named stephen had
wrecked my car the previous year. i thought it was a
pretty stellar coincidence. recorded in a block2loft in
the summer of 2003.
2. 'incidental six' was an original song piece i expanded.
i recorded it alone in stifft station in 2004 at kent &
steve's.
3. 'shelter (when you call)' was a song piece i had begun
and, similarly, i recorded in stifft station in 2004 at kent
& steve's.
4. 'does it really matter?' i recorded it alone in stifft station
in 2004 at kent & steve's.
