I saw Nathan’s reblog of my Firecracker post, and remembered that Kate took an old photo of that closet we recorded my parts in. Playing my Gretsch through Seth’s cigarette-box amplifier. Circa 2005.

Music Monday (Christmas Eve Edition!) - Holding Hands Still Counts (When You’re Wearing Gloves)
Ladies and Gents, I present this fair tune that my brother Seth and I wrote a few years ago. I believe Marke came up with the title. I also believe that this song is just begging to be used in some sort of clothing commercial. Hit me up. We’re licensing.
Worlds Collide.
Another piece we just finished for Biola University’s Annual Media Conference.
Nathan and I just put together a little Christmas cover for The Fray’s (free) Christmas EP.
(and here’s some alternate versions & making-of documentation on our portfolio)
Raw materials for the cover of a new little Christmas album we’re designing.
A favorite christmas (sorta) song of mine by my brother Zach.

Music Monday! - That’s All by Zachary Johnson
It’s holiday time and we’re getting in the spirit. So for the next couple of weeks I’ll be going through the holiday vaults. Beginning with this gem.
Zach is often my partner in musical crimes, and he comes back to Colorado tomorrow. In honor (and in excitement) of him returning, here’s a little piano tune he wrote. We recorded this a couple of years ago for the (now defunct?) Elephant Hug Annual Christmas Compilation. I swear, we can’t make a record of anything without both of us cracking up at some point during the recording.
Music Monday - Bloom Intro (Rough Electric Version)
You know, for someone who spends most of their time making music, I realized I don’t post a lot of it on Tumblr. So I’m gonna start throwing a little something up on Mondays. Maybe some behind-the-scenes stuff, early sketches, or something from a band that I’m producing and think you should know about.
I’ll start with an early track I just found from the Bloom score. This comes from the Overture, before it was filled out (You can hear the final “Brothers In A One Hat Town” piece here).
The way I did this project involved much more of a “building” process than a traditional score where you write it, record it and release it. I recorded hundreds of different tracks with the key instrumentalists and then began building and editing. As things came together, I would send ideas to Rian and we would talk about the direction before adding new elements.
Often, I would get takes of a few different instruments playing the lead melody lines so I had options for different versions as the entire track developed. In this rough track, you get to hear Jonny Rodgers’ great electric guitar work in a much more stripped down way.
Balthazar Ginger Citrus Iced Tea (minus the ice). Making its way up to 64th & York in a cab. When we reach our destination, the ice shall be added.
It’s sort of a lot of work for a drink. But it’s the kind of drink that makes it worth it.
I don’t like ginger or iced tea, but something tells me I should try this drink.
Arghh!

Missed you, buddy!
