Fun With Apple’s GarageBand…

Walked back into my office today to the familiar sounds of a bass riff that I had recorded a few years ago. It seems that I had left my iTunes playing all morning and by the time I got back in it had made its way down to the “adam” section.

Figured that I would post a few of these for fun. All were recorded in ‘05 and ‘06, shortly after I got my Mac and started fooling around with GarageBand, the recording program that came with the computer.

All the instruments and effects, both electronic and live, are me with the exception of the guitar on Terror Cafe, which is my buddy Scott playing. I’d hesitate to call any of these “songs” and they’re not terribly good, but it’s a fun look back at what one guy with a few guitars, a computer, and some spare time can do.

Listen at your own risk…

Live Track
(Sounds like it was recorded at Wembley Stadium with Tito Puente sitting in on Bongos)

Terror Cafe
(Named by an insane / paranoid / drunk guitarist who was convinced that many of the cafes along Newbury Street in Boston were hotbeds of terrorist activity. He may have been right…)

07-19-05
(recorded on July 19th, real original…)

Birthday
(recorded on my birthday, real original…)

Pear Gauge
(nonsensical subject line of a spam email I got that day)

Squirrel Jazz Jam
(jennie hit a squirrel with her car on the way to work that am)

Stuck
(no idea…)

Sweaty Betty
(no idea…)

The Vizyy
(no idea…)

Umph
(had been listening to an Umphree’s McGee album earlier that day…)
