Eclectic Mix of “Some Guys”

Eclectic Mix of “Some Guys”

A departure from my usual dance/electronica mixes. This one includes everything from Appalachian blues to electronic/glitch to hip hop to pirate ballads to chants. I put this together when a group of my Guy Friends got together to share stories and music. The only...

Floodwaters

My first original techno track in a long, long while. Lush, layered, moody, epic. Composed in daily 20 or 30 minute stolen workday moments over the course of several weeks. Finished this during a moment in history when 2,000 Pakistanis have died and 20 million are...

Thirty-One Flavors 2000

Recorded at Ryan’s birthday party in San Francisco. Moves from tekhouse to techno to electro to drum ‘n’ bass and back to tekstep in an hour. Yikes!

Deadmau5 vs. Double Rainbow Guy (unintentional mashup)

Just now I was checking out the website belonging to techno legend Deadmau5, enjoying how his home page was bumping out a tune called “Word Problems”.  Then I noticed he’d tweeted about some over-exuberant double rainbow guy on YouTube. I opened the...

Chanson pour Monsieur Du Serf (1993)

“Il y’a un truque que m’a frappé: Tu a quatre-vingnt ans, il y’a des vins que tu ne boiras jamais.” (This is the thing that struck me: You’re eighty years old, there are some wines that you’ll never drink.) This afternoon I...

Toryanse Dance Remixes

This morning I flashed back to 2006 when video game maker Konami hired me to compose a techno remix of Toryanse for their Xbox release of Dance Dance Revolution. All in all I think I went through 13 rounds of remixes back and forth before Konami finally settled on a techno genre tempo-warping version of the melody. Here’s an early draft version of the final mix (to which Konami still has exclusive rights.)

Using the TGFI SEO plugin for WordPress

Here’s my response to a client asking for guidance about filling in the fields offered by my favorite WordPress SEO plugin, TGFI.net SEO: 1) No need to set the TITLE if it’s the same as the name of the page. Only set it if you want to make a bigger fancier...

Tutorial: How to crop images within WordPress

WordPress is great for resizing the resolution and file size of images you upload using its editor. If you upload a huge 3000 x 2000 pixel 8MB digital camera snapshot, WordPress will do the work to reduce the image to a web-friendly 600 x 400 pixel 100KB file. And now...
