While I have been playing bass in other bands, I have also been working on electronic music of my own. I have performed live with some of this material under the name Generation Excuse (as a singer/guitarist), sometimes accompanied by a drummer or other instrumentalist. However, I always felt that the music was unsupported and a little dull when performed live; consider it the inherent weakness in electronic music. With a few exceptions, all the instruments were played or programmed by me; that includes guitars, basses, keyboards, sitars (in a few cases), violas and dombek. I'm not going to lie to you, these MP3s take forever to load. These are songs that I have remixed for other artists, which frees me of having to pull them off live:
This is the first demo I ever recorded of my electronic material:
These are the rough cuts of my speculative solo album. Ideally, I'd like to bring real musicians into the process to replace and supplement a lot of the synthetic sounds. There are also vocals for each of these, but alas I haven't recorded any of them. I must stress again, these are rough drafts.
Shadow Puppet Theatre
For the sake of posterity, here are a few tracks from previous bands I've been in as well.
I also worked with Ms. America's Trash (with guitarist Matt Terich, singer Brendan Chase and drummer Chuck Randall) for almost a year and a half. I will point out that I didn't write any of these songs (and none of the ones I did co-write were ever recorded), but I performed them all live. I will also point out that the drums on the album were synthetic, having been recorded between drummers, and that all the tracks were produced and recorded by Matt Terich on a macintosh in his apartment. |
