http://DTF.bandamp.com/ admin@bandamp.com http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/632.html I just started recording one night and I ended up with this. It's classical guitar and 2 layers of violin. Enjoy. Wed, 15 Jun 2005 18:24:06 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/5825.html It's a crappy title but I haven't thought of anything better yet. At the moment it's unfinished, I wrote an ending but I can't find or remember it. Anyways I've been working on this for a while so any comments would be helpful and encouraged. It's quiet and there may be some noise, like all my posts, I don't have a good mic, I've done what I can to reduce the noise but producing and editing isn't my forte. Anyways, enjoy and thanks for coming out.

Thanks for listening, enjoy. Wed, 23 Aug 2006 15:46:23 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6355.html The Fighting Platypi Lounge Well firstly my thanks goes out to Bass4yourface for the bulk of this song I found his lyrics in the forum. Anyways here they are with a few additions and revisions: You know Hippos Just wanted to fit in But they ended at the table with the platypi Even though they don't from see eye to eye On music and other things But they sat there Being ever so kind Because a hungry, hungry hippo has a one track mind Even though it might waver from time to time They don't like to be disturbed when they're chowing down their dinner. They don't complain They don't complain Because that would be too rude It's all the same It's all the same If you have that attitude Take me home To that cabana studio Where the platypi lounge And drink cocktails with messed up names But the like 'em best that way. You'll have salty dog or a slippery nipple And by the third round they're screaming for more. There's Joe in the corner he's the guitar player And for five bucks more he'll tell you where the party's going... They don't complain They don't complain Because the drinks feel the same They wax They wane They're your lover's bane Because they're packin' heat To be so neat In this odd world Hey this is our world Today Enjoy! Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:55:43 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6525.html Just a soft, little song. Played with some major sevenths and thought they sounded nice. Enjoy. Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:48:13 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/5588.html If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (you'll have to give him a glass of milk) A mouse creeps though a dark kitchen at night and finds a cookie. Solo guitar. The recording is quiet and staticy... let's just pretend it's artistic license until I get a decent microphone. Enjoy. Mon, 15 Oct 2007 21:05:00 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3190.html First song we ever wrote as a band. Features violin, sax, drums, guitar, keys, bass, and vocals. Thanks for listening, enjoy. Mon, 21 Aug 2006 11:15:38 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6356.html Ok I know the rules but occasionally they're made to be broken. If it really upsets the higher powers I'll take it down but I really just had to get this out there. It's a bluegrass cover of Larger than Life as made popular by the Backstreet Boys. With my folky band Tara Hall. Enjoy. Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:03:14 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6521.html Ok, a little traditional music for you all. I'm pretty sure Stephen Foster's copyright has long since expired so I shouldn't be breaking any rules. Just a little light guitar and vocals. Enjoy. Sun, 22 Jun 2008 12:43:30 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/5906.html A little banjo/mando noodle based around Don't Give it Up. Done with a bit of wah and lots of love. The secret ingredient is salt. Enjoy. Thu, 03 Jan 2008 01:18:02 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6408.html Another collaboration with the same one who wrote You Sure Do Something to Me. Just a simple little song. Enjoy. Mon, 12 May 2008 23:58:32 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1990.html Reflections Beneath a Springtime Cameo This is the first real classical(ish) song I've written which is based on the philosophy I outlined in a thread called Philosophy of Music and Art. The goal was to create expressive music. So just to preface, this peice is about a man sitting beneath an apple tree (cameo (or carousel) being the type of apple I know this because I looked it up) which is for what ever reason bearing fruit in the late spring/early summer when he is sitting beneath it. People pass by, day turns to night and back into day, he gets older and younger, and sits and reflects on what brought him there. So the story goes he remembers a number of things then comes back to appreciating his scenery and his suroundings (back to the main theme) and then back to memory. Eventually, he approaches at some sort of conflict which is the reason he can there in the first place and represses it once again admiring the new day that has just come. However, there is some uncertainty as to his final resolutions as the final cadence is imperfect implying that he has made some resolution to be active and resolve the conflict that awaits back home. The ultimate goal was to convey this story through the music without lyrics. It works for me but then again I came up with it, curious to see what you think of it. I make a few mistakes as the music is hard for me to play. Hope you enjoy. Hoping to arrange it for piano so if anyone wants to I'd be happy to send you the music. Wed, 08 Mar 2006 21:42:30 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2375.html Live version with my band. Electric. I play violin over a solo, it's a bad idea, don't remind me. Otherwise, enjoy. Thanks for listening. Sun, 07 May 2006 18:42:38 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2373.html Spanish gibberish. Live. Enjoy. Sun, 07 May 2006 16:06:05 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6042.html Threw some words to a chords progression I was very excited about. Then played with some harmony and voila. Enjoy. Wed, 06 Feb 2008 21:05:18 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6211.html Another version of squeeze with my band, Tara Hall. Features ukulele, 6 and 12 string guitar. Enjoy. Wed, 19 Mar 2008 17:26:25 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1235.html Classical peice, finished for now though I'm hoping to make it a quartet/violin-cello peice... if anyone plays the cello that would be helpful too. Thanks for listening. Thu, 06 Oct 2005 21:10:52 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6385.html A love story of two people who meet under odd circumstances. Two jewel thieves who meet unknowingly operating the same heist. Enjoy. Midnight at the museum, Has some vague romantic flair. As you brush past the cavemen and say hi to Rex But the gem of your eye's safely guarded upstairs. And a heist like this takes some precision, And a dame only gets in the way. But the office romance never goes out of style If you give it up you might just meet again someday. Ch. And if you get what you pay for Then what is it worth when you steal? When nothing comes easy and nothing comes free. And you can't trust the ones you meet in the museum at night Yeah she caused quite the rukus That night I tried out my luck Her beauty and wit knocked me right off my feet And left me here in this rut And she breezed past security And the cameras she gave them a smile Because she knew by end of the night It'd be me they'd have down on file. Bridge And the sirens, they come howling And soon I'm surrounded with no place to go But the state penitentiary or that open window And a 20 foot drop to my doom... And the judge asked me son where'd you put it? But I pleaded the fifth and I lost. She sent me a carton of smokes every week With a note that says see you when you're finally out. Sun, 04 May 2008 22:45:38 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/704.html Another one that never really got a title or fully finished. The song has a few layers, three guitars and a mandolin, there also was flute but it wasn't working out. It's a bit repetative only because I could never figure out where I could go from there but it has a lot of parts which come together nicely. It's a busy, sort of calm sound. Tell me what you think, I'd really appreciate any comments or suggestions... or both. Enjoy. Wed, 22 Jun 2005 22:09:21 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/5796.html Just a rough idea. I tried playing with a few different changes and came out with this. Just simple sweet music, nothing fancy. Hopefully something that gets further developed in the future. Enjoy. P.S. Just like last time, bad mic, I get it, don't remind me. Sun, 02 Dec 2007 15:03:01 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1191.html Back in grade 8 a friend wrote a poem for me and asked me to turn it into a song. Meanwhile it's gone through dozens of melodies here's one. The lyrics are great, she had a lot of talent. Enjoy. Sat, 10 Sep 2005 12:23:36 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6104.html You Sure Do Something to Me A collaborative effort with a friend. She wrote the lyrics, I wrote the music. I don't have a good mic or anything fancy so the recording quality is quiet and a bit noisy. I'm sorry, you'll just have to try and look past that. Thanks for listening. Enjoy.
