Kylie Wilson

The lyrics for this song were discovered by my brother in a notebook. This notebook contained some of the deeper reflections of what seems to be an early teenager. The incredible profundity of the text demanded to become music; the dazzling doodles screamed for embellishment. And so this great contribution to both art and culture was born. May it change your life.

Jazz Antics

My brother Ryan got me some jazz books for Christmas. While I have not learned everything within their covers, I have learned a lot about chords, and a tiny bit about improvising. Here's two popular songs with a little more swing in them. Oh, and thanks to Coldplay and Owl City for the songs.

Social Taxidermy

You know those people who get so involved in one thing that they're not really a person anymore, but some sort of hobby robot? This song is about those people. Words by Weston, Emily, Anneli, and Jordan. Music by Jordan.

If "Breath of Heaven" were a techno song . . .

Okay, I was hesitant to put this song up, since some may be offended that a song with religious meaning was turned into a techno song. Just don't think of the words; just appreciate the chord progressions and the beat, since that's what techno is for anyways.

GPA Song

I wanted to write a barbershop quartet, so my brother Ray wrote these words. The song isn't quite barbershop, but I like it. I may one day try to re-record the singing, since it's not really in tune. But if you can stand it, here it is.

Bubble Gum Pop

My cousin once remarked that Lady GaGa has a "bubble gum pop" sort of sound. This song is supposed to have that sound, too. I'm pretty sure it used the tune from Snippets.

Pizzaz de Spain

An attempt at the Spanish sound. Scores high on the fun scale, and low on the authenticity. Also, I can't really play the piano part.
