| I
started Latitude Records nearly a decade ago as a vehicle to release my
own music. Although most "releases" have consisted of home-burned
demos, my passion for creating music has remained unchanged. However lacking
in aesthetic web design, this page is simply meant to make some of my music
freely available to whoseover may want to listen. |
| LATEST
TRACKS: |
| Get
Me Down |
| Although
some songs have been partially inspired by my wife, most notably Loopty
Loo, this song is NOT any reflection on her. The second break has an interesting
sample I found from an audio recording of "Arthur the Rat",
a short tale devised to obtain phonetic representation from throughout
the country of all phonemes in American English. http://polyglot.lss.wisc.edu/dare/Audio.html#arthur |

Tracks for Download: |
| Forgive
& Forget |
| The theme of
this song offers advise for peace in the Middle East... and everywhere else.
"Blow them all away" sample courtesy of douchebag Patty Buchanan. |
| Only
Selfless Sacrifice |
| This track
features more multi-track vocals which could be good or bad depending on
your opinion of my vocal ability. Can you guess where the samples are from?
Hint: initials are SJP. The theme of the song is about how everyone wants
to find "true love" but many people don't want to put in the work
required. |
| Loopty
Loo |
| I did a bit
of singing with some lyrics hevaily inspired by the wedding planning process
I recently endured... er, enjoyed! A message of relaxation and deep breathing. |
| Friends
from Foreign Lands |
| A song about
traveling with traditional Thai vocals. It reminded me of my good friends
Joe & Rachel living in Bangkok at the time.. |
| Uppercut |
| Latest and
greatest track is a bit more funky and jazzy than my previous work. Lots
of acoustic overdubs with every instrument I own (sticks included). Samples
from Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech provide the
vocals. |
