Solo Recordings
"Climb Every Mountain" After playing this song on a New Year's Eve gig, I thought it would be fun to record. I used Band in a Box 2009 for the orchestra (much cheaper than a real orchestra). [January 2009]
"Blatant High Notes"
I recorded this while trying to figure out how to use the recorder (Olympus LS-10) and some music editing software. It definitely falls in the "completely obnoxious" category! [September 2008]
"Good King Matt"
A couple years ago a friend sent out an obnoxious trumpet arrangement of "O Come All Ye Faithful" just in time for Christmas. I liked it so much I thought I'd record my own, but without all the talent and taste. I tried hard to remove every last bit of musicality in the recording, but some may have slipped through. Anyway, enjoy this good-natured trumpet fun for the holidays! [December 2008]
