Fnord Motor Company
The Fnord Motor Company project was done around 1998-1999 and focused on short works. During this experiment I created 50 songs which are less than an hour of total playing time. These are all now available here to listen to, and is finally available on CD (coming soon). Some of these works were used in videos by artist James Short. The rest appeared in films which do not yet exist.
These songs range from lounge jazz to trip hop to classical style film music cues to controlled chaos.
