My New Guitar Case

Garrett — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:35:07 +0000

No, no, not my new haircut (although I need one). I scavenged this puppy from the depths of a pile of discarded cases at my work. It looks beat up, but I can just play the “I’m a traveling musician” card. Despite it’s outward appearance, the inside is actually very nice, lined with an immaculate brown shag material that makes me want to take a nap in it. That is the story of my case.

Jamming at Beedees in Shanghai

Here are some pics of last night’s micro gig at Beedees. I met these guys a few weeks ago and we’ve just been having fun playing some cover songs and such. There’s also some pics of the cover band that went on after us. They sounded awesome.

New Song: Sit Back and Watch

Garrett — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 22:15:25 +0000

Ok ok, fine. After much over thinking and babysitting of this song I am finally letting it go into the wild. This song is one of my favorites that I’ve made purely on the keyboard so far. It mixes a few styles including reggae and jazz. I think it’s pretty cool, let me know what you think!

Making Music Here in China

Garrett — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 05:14:48 +0000

Since I was a little limited on what I could bring to China I had to leave a lot of my recording gear at home, well actually everything except for my laptop. Luckily the guy living here before me had a small M-Audio Oxygen 8 keyboard that he was nice enough to leave with me, what a gentleman. I’ve been messing around with it and have started a couple of projects that I will hopefully get done by this weekend. In some ways I think that limiting yourself actually opens more doors as far as creativity, sort of simplifies the process a bit. New songs to come shortly.

New Song: Gotta Move

Garrett — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 14:33:43 +0000

Hey all,

Here’s a song that I actually finished a while ago but forgot to post it up. It’s got a nice bass line and catchy little verse with some synth solos. No big deal, just a little sumin sumin. Feel free to let me know what you think! Thanks for listening.

Franky Likes Pupperoni – Studio Version

Garrett — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 06:33:52 +0000

By George I’ve done it! I’ve completed my latest song, “Franky Likes Pupperoni”. It’s inspired by, well, how my dog Franky loves pupperoni. So take a listen and let me know what you think, I kinda feel like it’s missing something but I don’t know what, I’m happy with the way it turned out. If you dig it hit me up on myspace or leave a comment here, could always use some dainty feedback. Yea I used a Recording King RD-16, what’s it to ya?!

Roasty Beof

Garrett — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 01:58:55 +0000

I wrote this song a little while ago, but you know, just thought I’d bring it back for a sec. Yea, I know it’s annoying how it automatically plays…guess that means you’ll just have to listen. mmmmmm
