Last Fall, I had the privilege of working with international music visionaries Dancer and the Ross. We spent an evening (not an afternoon) recording a 3 song EP. This track, “a woman is the only one,” is a true demonstration of their genius.

Retro Track: Skate Noir by Wisconsin Dells

Back in 1998 or 1999 this was a love song our band wrote to skateboarding.

Ramp Ribs

Here is a rough cut of a thing that’s kind of like a short song. My close friend and associate, Mr. Tom Kemmer, is building an amazing ramp up north. After a long day of building, he recording himself playing the “ribs” of the ramp as if they were percussive instruments. He promptly emailed me the tracks and I spent a few hours one evening adding some stuff to it.

So, clearly this is not a “afternoon ep,” but it’s at least an evening tune.

Okay… so this isn’t an “afternoon ep.” This is just a song made on my iPad. The tune was created in one evening, so that’s kinda like an afternoon. Some final touches were done on another evening with Sarah.

Like it or not, sometimes I’ll just be posting songs on here.

You’ll just have to accept that.

One day, a few summers back, my old friend Elliot Jackson rolled into town, and we proceeded to spend the afternoon writing and recording a tune. We established the order of the parts of the song as well as the notes by randomly drawing letters and numbers out of a box. Jackson suggested this method in order to avoid falling prey to our typical songwriting habits. Though we didn’t manage to create an entire “afternoon ep’s” worth of music, our strange process yielded an interesting little tune that I refer to as “Cigars.”
