Song Tree

Casey's Corner

Song Tree presents the idea that a song is alive. An artist should release many versions of a composition. Songs change as they are performed and are never really finished. By creating this archive I’m using Song Tree to show the larger effort that goes into recording music. I ask that if you like the music contribute by playing my songs.

I asked a DJ in Pittsburgh if she'd dropped this for me and she said, "I don't do that." Only happens in movies. Be careful, there's a dog squeaker in there.

This was the first one, obviously.

Like the Bird

Flagstaff Mix

It's about waiting to find the one you love and not settling. Timing is important. Of course this growing old together business is like something out of a catalog to me now. Oh - that's how it works, OK.

Oh some dude thought he was some thing or something and we did that you know whatever. Produced using the Acid software.

Mango Sticky Rice

Flagstaff Mix

I was never able to fix what I thought was an abrupt change from verse to chorus and unable to relink the bass line from the original Logic session but it's cool. It's got character.

Here with the keyboard riff and check out that bassline. Holler. Bouncy! Scene Machine.
