Commandante was the last track to be written for Board of Transportation’s “Seven Bridges of Konigsberg“. I was in Australia on the Gold Coast and Dave was in Nashville and I shot him a very basic barebones version of the track. I had based the harmonic elements of the track on some “blown guitar” parts [...]

Board of Transportation – They Are There
They Are There by Board of Transportation This song has been finished for a while but I kept putting off doing the final tweaks on the mix before releasing a version to the wide world of web. I guess I also had some grand plans to include a video clip for the song as well. [...]
New Music – “Lines and Powerlines” – Board of Transportation
Lines & Powerlines by Board of Transportation A Long Time Coming So this song had been kicking around for quite a few years now, 5 to be exact, and I only got around to using it and finishing it in the last 6 months thanks to the Board of Transportation project. I had the first [...]
“Gee” – Marrow and the Broken Bones – All The Possibilities Blog
While I was working on the Marrow album Aimee emailed me some new tracks that she’d been working on. We’d already sort of decided on the songs we were going to use for the album (from a list of 30+ songs) but as soon as I heard Gee I was keen to hear it on [...]

This track has been around for a few years now, written by a good friend of mine Felicity on ukelele when she was just learning how to play. She wrote it, chord book on her lap, and really came up with something that really inspired me. She bought it to me to work on and [...]
Introducing: Board of Transportation
So I haven’t really been doing much personal recording as of late being busy with other fabulous projects with other artists (The Champion and His Burning Flame & Marrow and the Broken Bones) but a side-project has happened which I am quiet excited about. I say “happened” because because it wasn’t something I planned but [...]
The French EP
So it’s been a year or so since we finished this project but I figure that some retrospect on this collection of songs is still valuable. I think a track by track exposition might be the easiest way to make this more concise: The Expert I remember recording the claps for this tracks and trying [...]
