The hardest part of this writing/playing/recording is trying to figure out whether you want to write lyrics, dink around with melodies, practice scales, etc. I found a way around this! Do EVERYTHING! I have to laugh when I think about times I'd be sitting at my computer when a melody haunts me that I realize is actually my own. I can't grab a recorder fast enough. And IT NEVER matters what I use to get the idea recorded. In fact, I was on the way to work one morning and hummed the melody and a quarter of the lyrics to a song that is still residing on my Macintosh to this day. And the only reason I still remember it is because I actually kept the song in my head long enough to run to my office and record it on a cheesy microphone on my computer! Is that dedication or what?!?! I'm positive I have an album's worth of songs...and then some! I just need to find where I put them! Heh heh. I have some lyrics on my Mac at home....some on my IBM at home....and some on my Mac at work. AND...I work a full time job too! Scary huh?
I did all the instruments for SchizoPhobia myself because of my experiences with being in a band are the recurring problems with egos which I never had. And it's hard to relay what kind of sounds you want from each instrument when you're not even sure yourself without playing with what is available. So, why not do my own thing and do it the way that I like it. I just hope that everyone else can enjoy it as well.
So.....without further adieu, here is my band
consisting of me, myself and I . In fact, "Me, Myself, and I" was
what I originally wanted for the name but instead, SchizoPhobia sounded
much better. I play a lot of parts in this world and some of them,
I'm afraid of. Hence, the name SchizoPhobia.
Here is the second track I worked on in December of 1997 of what may or may not be an entire album. We'll see how much patience I have to write that many songs....heh heh. It is called "The People". You'll get a kick out of the lyrics. I'm really not driven "too" crazy by my friends (but I must say that at times we all need to be put in an asylum from our unusual behavior.....me included). I just thought it'd be different to poke a little fun at people that I know and people in general while I'm at it. Drop me an email and let me know what you think.......just don't hound me too much ok? :-) Download my second song, The People in Real Audio. And for those that would like to check the lyrics too, Here are the lyrics to The People.
My third song is a simple little instrumental I did in January of 1998 called, Cirque De SchizoPhobia which was the first thing that I wrote on the piano since I hadn't stroked the ol ivories in about 10 years now. I just recently picked up a Yamaha keyboard and stumbled onto a traditional circus sound and had a blast putting this one together!
Here is the fourth song I did in March of 1998 that is still being pieced together but the basic bass, drums, keyboards tracks are there. I call it Life.
As of May 24, 1998, I just uploaded my fifth song I call Payback. I stumbled upon writing this song based on the keyboard track alone. It has kind of an "oom pa" beat with a dark sounding keyboard patch I used on my Yamaha. Then I decided to throw a little bit of bass over the top and came up with the lyrics last. I hope you like it! The lyrics for Payback are right here
OK, it's June 19, 1998. What can I say? I've been pretty flakey...haha! The bottom line is that I've been toying around with my new guitar which I've been playing for a total of...uh....like 3 months. So...I present to you my first attempt to play guitar. Be nice...:-) This is a basic instrumental that I've been putting together and the sixth song is called Rounding. Nothing too intricate. Just a little play off between the bass and the guitar. I've got SO many tunes in my head that I'm trying to force out so I'm going to try and get these demos up as soon as possible! Rounding was the product of a couple takes. I'm not striving for PERFECTION yet. Just trying to have fun seeing what I can conjure up from my mind to my music.
Welp...a month later....July 16, 1998 and I've got the seventh song done. Not bad considering I'm trying to keep afloat with computer tech garbage full time, and figure this whole music thang out. This is a ballady tune that I call The End. Give it a listen. Here are the lyrics to The End.
It is September 27, 1998 and here is my latest song called To Love Or Not to Love. If you want to read the lyrics, here are the lyrics to To Love Or Not To Love. And it's on to the next song that resides in my head. ;-)
Well.....November 8th, 1998, and here is the 9th song called Stick in the Knife. Here are the lyrics to Stick in the Knife. And excuse the abrupt cut off towards the end of the track....I don't have that much server space and I've had to cut my songs off at 3 minutes so at least you get the idea of the song....I've been spending a lot of my time driving myself nuts with the sound quality of these tracks so I haven't been spitting out as much as I'd like to these days. But I'm still plugging away trying to get as many demos out as possible. And for one guy, I don't think I'm doing all that bad, do you...;-)
HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's 1999 now and I'm still plugging away at this music thang. I've got a couple new songs for you to listen to. The first one was recorded in December of 1998 and I call it Disturbed. Here are the lyrics to Disturbed. It really wasn't a song that I was big on doing cuz it came to me by accident when I started reworking old songs and working on new songs with my new Roland VS-840 recorder. But I had so much fun playing with the bizarre patches on there that I came up with this funny lil track.
The last track that I finished is a tribute song to an artist that I respect very much. Kevin Gilbert. There is currently a tribute CD that is in the works that I did a track for that may or may not be on there. I'm not sure if I'm going to offer this song up but we shall see how it goes. The track is called Song for a Dead Friend. It's my little tribute to a musician that never got the respect that he truly deserved. You can click on his name above if you would like to get more information on the works of Kevin Gilbert.
Hello again! It is now getting towards the end of February and BOY do I have some new songs for you....;-) I've got 4 new tracks here for your listening pleasure. And these are definitely ecclectic....heh. First off, I have a song that brings me back to my Trombone playing days in the high school band that I've simply entitled, Memoirs of a Disgruntled Band Geek. The second song is pretty self explanatory....it's a gooey and gushy love song that I wrote for someone...and you know who you are hon... ;-) .....it's called In the Dark. The third song is a little instrumental guitar improvisational track that I ended up lucking out with and getting recorded in one take. It's called Psychadelia. And finally, this last one will crack you guys up. I've gotten a hold of a drum and loop program that allows you to do techno stuff. So here is my first shot at "acid jazz techno"....hahaha. It's called BweetBox.
Well...it is pushing mid May now and it's time to throw some more of my music up for your listening pleasure. First off, we have just one song with my vocals on it called Billy. Next is Pirate Groove which is more of a new drifting into the techno waters for me. Then we have Schiz Bomb which is another techno toon for those that wanna good beat to move to. And Improvinata is a keyboard piece that I did with a sonata backdrop with me improvising over the top. It turned out pretty good too surprisingly...;-)
And we're on to early in June and I have another little diddy for you that I call simply, Choose. I'm getting more confident with my vocals and really let myself go on this song. I'm pretty proud of it other than the fact that I need to be a bit less repetitive on the music side. I was more concerned about the vocals than the actual song though. I just wanted an "outer space" backbeat which I came up with quickly and structured the vocals around it. Hope you like it. :)
Well....here we are in November and I've got another song to add. Actually, I've got 6 songs that I need to finish up. So hopefully, I will be playing catch up to get these new songs up for your listening pleasure. Hope you enjoy this instrumental techno song that I call The Dark Side of Light ENJOY!!!
Back again. And it's the year 2000!!! I have a couple new songs for you to check out. First we have See No Evil Remix. Which is along the same lines as the Dark Side of Light playing some improv electric guitar to a techno backbeat. The other tune is called Windy Nights which is one of my favorites because it has a "beyond the cosmos" kinda sound to it which I've been TOTALLY into these days. Stay tuned for a second CD coming out soon which is going to be all instrumentals.
The latest news as of March 25, 2000, is that I have a few more tracks for ya. One OLD one that I finally added some vocals to so I could move on to some more shtuff is called Fear. I hope you enjoy it. It's my lil exploration into what we all tend to feel from time to time. The other tune is called Thinking Too Much. Questioning my basic existence on this planet. God I hate it when I'm DEEP...;-) ENJOY!
Hmmm...I guess I dropped off the face of the Earth on updates. Sorry bout that. I had all kinds of ideas for a radio station that I kinda started to get exposure to my songs and it just fell through the way side. Anyways, two CDs later, I'm still doing more songs. We're start with the latest ballad I call Let Go. Then there is a little track I did just playing around on the guitar....made it sound pretty percussive and groovin I simply call Trippy. So take a listen and hear what's new in the world of the Schizoid...;-)
I've been kicking around the idea of letting any of you who want to buy your own personally selected listing of the above songs that you would like on the CD I make for you. So drop me an email if you think you'd be interested in something like that. It would be more work for me to do that but I thought it would be a cool concept to let you choose which songs you want on your own SchizoPhobia CD that I make for you.
