Be part of my video song about winter!

I’m working on a simple song about winter, and how we don’t really have winter here in Los Angeles. And that for some strange reason I really miss that shitty season. Do you live in a cold and snowy place? Do you want to be part of this video song? Shoot some video showing what […]

Creative Commons Collaboration – new song “Teardown”

You send me audio. I remix and sing. Together we make an album. After a little time off I’ve finally been able to spend some time in the studio with all of the amazing samples and audio tracks that everyone has sent to me. Here is a new track for my Creative Commons collaboration album […]

Remix showcase

Over the last several months, y’all have created some really amazing remixes of my songs. I just wanted to showcase a few on youtube. I found some cool public domain footage and did a quick mashup. Check it out! This is Old remix – Sloan Fell Out of the Sky remix – Chris Fudurich Computer […]

Finish my song!

I started this song last week with hopes it would be the next SongFight winner! But I just can’t find the right way to finish this tune. I like that it’s mellow and relatively catchy but I just wasn’t really inspired to complete it. Maybe there’s something about it that you like? If so, please […]

digging through the collab archives…

Ok. So this week got a little bit busy and I wasn’t able to complete a new song for my song-a-week challenge. But I’ll make up for it by posting TWO (count ’em, two) songs from the archives that haven’t ever really been officially “released”. Both of these are collaborations that I did with other […]

Glenn Case rocks.

So today I was both excited to learn that Glenn Case had done a cover of my song “Highway”. I was so flattered that I figured I’d return the favor and cover one of his songs. Glenn is likely the most prolific songwriter that I’m aware of. He has well over 400 songs for download […]

We Love the Remix Culture

I love derivative works! And here are some derivative works that have been created recently that are very good. All of these remixes of State Shirt songs are courtesy of the remixers on ccMixter. Solid from first note to last. “This is on the Stairs” by Neurowaxx is chosen as ccMixter Editor’s Pick. A mashup […]

Open source music collaboration project – first song.

The first song on my still yet to be titled Collaboration Album has been finished, and is posted below! Thanks to the amazing audio provided by Orchestral Movement of 1932, Dave Patrikios, James Santiago and Yumenomado, I was able to cut, remix and shape their samples into the song “Cassettes” this evening. Hope you like […]
