These recordings are getting a bit old now. They were done in the previous incarnation of my studio between 2002 and 2006.
Here's a direct link to a better (192k) mp3 than available on Soundclick:
Missing Douglas.mp3
A love song and requiem for the late Douglas Adams. I was lucky enough to chat with him once and he was as warm and witty as one could have hoped. The world is greatly diminished by his untimely passing.
At least TRY to be a hoopy frood and become a part of Towel Day!
See http://towelday.org for information!
(That's actually a black towel with 42 in slightly more reflective black.)
 Jihad
A mellow take on a vicious world. All Jim on this one.
 Your Scientist's Brain
Inspired by a Timothy Leary lecture, late in his life. All Jim.
 Lovely Walkers
Lisa sings, Jim plays.
 Cowbot Blues
The lone mechanoid watches over the herd, sitting by a plasma recharging station that looks oddly like a campfire. It passes the time playing its guitar accompanied by its on-board synth.
 Sixteen Grams
This is a jazz-reggae blend. This song features a 1921 C melody sax. It is a modern reflection of the classic 'Sixteen Tons.'
 Wishing On This Day
A smooth flowing piece something like a chant
of sorrow and hope. This song features our Budgie named Windy who passed away in March 09 at the age of 13. When he was young I would get annoyed because I could not record guitar without him singing along. After I gave in and accepted it, I was much happier and now I treasure these recordings. He can be heard in the background of many of my recordings, but he has a solo in this one.
Lisa sings, Jim plays and sings, and Windy chirtles.
Older recordings and mixes
These recordings are a little rougher, but I decided the music was worth sharing.
Leave Me Alone - Acoustic, folksy. Lisa sings this one.
Slow Saxy Blues - Instrumental blues. I record rough songs for practicing with. I liked this one well enough to share it.
Hangin' On - Synth based rock
Dicketyda - Instrumental. Sort of a new-agey thing. It has been compared to Frank Zappa's "Hot Rats" period.
Trance-in-tent-ial Journey - New age space jazz instrumental
Absent Friends - A dirge or maybe a ray of solace in a time of loss.

Hej min vän! Läget? Ha det så bra! |
After decades of struggling with the stench of the rotting corpse of the music business, ... I QUIT!
I am no longer trying to maintain the illusion that I will ever earn money from my recordings. There is simply no demand for the huge supply of indie recordings on the web. No matter how good the song, the music, or the recording, the general listening public has declared recorded music to have no value. Not only is it not worth buying, it is apparently not even worth the time it takes to download the file. So why are YOU here? You gonna read this, then leave without listening? Fine, go away. You see, I have nothing to gain so I really don't care. In fact, this site costs me money and if enough of you don't listen, I'll just shut it down and save a few bucks. Listen or don't listen, ...whatever.
Most web sites that offer free music have some kind of offer to make. They'll let you download an mp3 and try to sell you a CD or a higher quality download or something. The song links here are for 16 bit FLAC files. (full versions, no gimmicks)
I was never a musician who did it for the money or fame or girls. I guess I am an "artist" and as such the only thing I really care about is the music and having some kind of audience for my efforts. If I have to live my entire life on the edge of poverty to afford my "art," so be it. It's not the road I would have chosen for myself a lifetime ago, but it's the road I find myself traveling.
I have watched dozens of my peers who write much more "commercially viable" music than I, work very hard for many years to no avail trying to earn some small pittance from digital downloads and CD sales. I am tired of the battle and just want my work to be heard, so here it is in full CD quality. I hope you like it. (if you even bother to listen, that is ;-) )
-Jim
