If the first thought that just came to your head was “WTF?” then you’re in the right place. An explanation to Ryan in panda-face (above): since sometime back in highschool, me and my friends have been making dumb songs. And I say that with all the love and pride in the world. They’re something we’ve kept somewhat exclusively within our own creative circle, but I’ve recently decided to start sharing them. 

Now when I say “dumb” I don’t necessarily mean that they’re all dumb or that they’re necessarily meant to be “funny”. By “dumb” I just mean… different. Like, Neil Diamond or Bob Dylon different. Or Gary Wilson different. They’re basically whatever we feel like writing — from 80’s tunes you can dance to, to hip-hop, to whatever.

It’s definitely very different from the concert music I write. In fact, if you’re a director rehearsing one of my pieces, consider yourself warned.

Past hits have included A Little More Than Ordinary (folk-y), This Dream (rap-y), A Cheesecrisp is Not a Quesadilla (?-y), Ristorante Italiano (Bocelli-y), and our latest hit, The Information Age (80’s-y). I’ll probably only post the new songs we make from here-on-out, but I may throw in some weird oldies from time-to-time, too. There’s really no describing exactly what they are or why they are. Frankly, we’re not sure we even know.
