Hero Ran
Revisiting an earlier demo, this time it sounded a lot more like it should. RC plays great drums, I do my best Elvis Costello impression on the keys.

During 2002 and 2003, I curated a number of video “shows” in Portland. At first they were all at Bar of the Gods, and so I wrote a theme song (and produced a video). A bit tongue in cheek.
Another song we developed from a demo of mine, this one features us beating on the air ducts with sticks to make percussion loops.
This was one of the more successful songs we worked on together. We’d get asked about this song years later. It was a crowd favorite. Jordan Hudson plays drums. If you’re curious, you can listen to the earlier demo version.
Not only did this track provide us with a name for our act, but the laid-back groove gave us our second video, which is sufficiently abstract that I think it holds up pretty well.
