Here are some recordings from my birthday session and a recent session. Both feature Devon DeJohn on the guitar. The 8/16 session was sans Evan, who was busy with his anniversary.

All these tracks are good. Well, the last one is good in its own way… [...]
SNW had a session last Sunday, featuring Nolan McFadden on guitar. Here are some select tracks.
01 – A long, laid-back jam, featuring Nolan rapping Jabberwocky at the end (here is a clip of just the rap)
02 – energetic
03 – The Deal
04 – As Long as You Let Me Have Some
05 – The Stampin’ Gran’ [...]
SNW is dead :-(. But I still have some recordings lying around that I’m gradually editing. Here’s the first batch, from March 20:
01
02 – a minimalist (in the classical sense) exercise
03
04 – fun and funky
05 – a long piece with many sections, pretty upbeat
#01 and #03 are included for completeness; they suck [...]
Here’s the session from March 5th, with Bob Mulligan on drums. This was the first session I recorded with three tracks; the sound is much, must cleaner than last time.
01 – light and fluffy
02 – gets good and funky by the end
03 – a fantastic space out jam, very subtle with lots of interesting [...]
By now, Eric is fleeing to Venezuela to go make some latin band down there awesome, and do God-knows-what else. Meanwhile, Evan and I have been playing with a drummer named Bob Mulligan, who is too good for us. Still, it’s a great opportunity to play with him, and I think given a [...]
At the show last night I played the Guitar Hero X-Plorer controller. No, really, as if it were a real instrument. Like, I could actually determine whether I played a C or a D.
After the show people asked me how I did it. XNA easily interfaces with the X-Plorer controller as a [...]
In the style of the SNW call for musicians which created the last year of great music, I just posted the following to craigslist Denver.
I’m trying to create a project, in whatever genre that emerges from it, which is inspired by the ideas of classical music. That is, a project where members write complex songs [...]
We had a jam session last night, with David Barry standing in for Eric on drums:

4 and 5 are pretty cool, the rest are listenable but nothing spectacular. Part of that could be blamed on the recording, which popped and clicked, and removing the pops and clicks left little “holes” which messes up the [...]
Here is the Strange New Worlds session from October 18th.
01 – an idea that I want to come back to at shows: Evan and I play solid chords at random every two bars, and Eric does his thing. (And then, as usual, we see where it goes from there). It turned out [...]
The first session with DJ (and guitarist) Rob Rodgers are somewhere around here, but I can’t find them. But here’s the second session.
