River Bagatelle
Bagatelles are what I call short guitar instrumentals that I occasionally come up with, and that slip into the middle of setlists I usually play this one before doing River Rise (so that I get a hint...

Déjà Vu
This is a rerecorded version of an old song - in fact the guitar-and-vocal version is on Plucked. I also uploaded it during 2009 (which is when I recorded it), but have completely remixed it. So Déjà...

Dominator
This is a dumb synth-rock instrumental, sparked mainly by a particular patch in Logic. I've always quite liked it, but never managed to make it sound like anything other than rough. The solution to...

Learning to Crash
I originally uploaded a different, messier version of this as part of the Upload Splurge of 2009, but since then have played it a lot. This version is also part of the sessions I did with Juan Piola...

Brocade
A basic instrumental - me finding my way around the East-West instruments again.

Sensitive Boy
Another very old song - I think I might have played it first at Bunjies. It's that old. The barebones acoustic version is on The Secret Agent's Dream, although this recording is in some ways even older...

Fanfare
A short track which came about as a result of playing with brass sounds, obviously.

Post-War Glamour Girl
Metafilter (MeFi) is a sort of mass-blog site - people post links to interesting things they've found on the internet, and then argue endlessly about them. There's a sub-site called Metafilter Music...

Mystery Dog
To be honest, I have no idea what this is about. It started as an instrumental noodle, then the chorus impressed itself on me, then I wrote the words down without really thinking about it, and now I'm...

The Rest of Our Lives
I recorded the basic tracks for this (guitar, vocal and drums) with Juan Piola last July - Oscar Hidalgo played the drums.

A Smear of Sun
Another string quartet, this time very short. Perhaps it should be a bumper between two other pieces.

Circle/Line
I wrote this in 1990, and recorded it several times, each time bewildered that I couldn't make a four-track tape recorder sound like a 24-track studio. I realise the Beatles did remarkable things with...

Pablito
This is a track that I've uploaded a couple of times before - though this is the latest version, a new mix with an organ track in there somewhere. Hopefully I won't feel it necessary to do it again....

Pirates
I waited around for the longest time to see if this would turn into a song. Eventually I realised that it was probably supposed to be a sort of indie rock instrumental.

Tomorrow We Will Fly
This song is apparently impressive live, because the chords look quite difficult to play. That's rather a shallow thing to recommend it, I admit, and no use in a recording. Another song from the...

Horse Bagatelle
I usually play this short instrumental as an introduction to the song 100 Horses. Ideally it would come immediately before a recording of that song, but it's not done yet, and the logistics have worked...

Calm Blue Ocean
This is a fully arranged version of a song that appears in guitar-'n'-vocal form on The Secret Agent's Dream. Recorded a very long time ago, using Cubase - I don't think I have the original Cubase...
