Original MP3 Recordings
I'm playing guitar and bass on all these songs. All drums are either Dynamic Drums on an Amiga computer, a Dr. Rhythm Drum machine, or (on the newer songs) from .mid files (created with Drums++) with Garage Band on a Mac. Some of these recordings are quite old when I hadn't been playing guitar for very long then, but I figured it'd be fun to post them anyway.
| neon.mp3 | May 25, 2024: Wrote and recorded this song for a Mandelbrot ARM64 SIMD video. On that page is a video that shows the guitars used to record the song. The solo was switching between the blue Strat and the Telecaster (both with the Digitech pedal and Bugera tube amp, and the pattern is Strat, Tele, Strat, Tele, Strat). The clean rhythm guitar was tiger striped Lotus guitar (Spark amp) and the heavy part was the red Squier (Line 6 / Bugera). |
| java_kong.mp3 | January 9, 2023: Wrote and recorded this song for a Nintendo 64 Java Demo. |
| java_grind.mp3 | January 2, 2020: Wrote and recorded this song for an Amiga Java Demo. |
| electronic_party.mp3 | May 25, 2020: Recorded this song for a video I made. |
| shoebox_full.mp3 | August 6, 2017: Wrote this little song for my Coin Acceptor project. On August 8, 2018 I used the song in the Playstation 2 Java Demo along with another song using a fretless guitar. |
| tap.mp3 | March 30, 2008: More Garage Band. Just playing around wtih some finger tapping. |
| Unnamed | April 1997: A little hypnotic song I did on an old Tascam 4 track. |
| Deep Sleep | January 1996: Not much to say.. old recording. |
| Bach Little Fugue | June 1994: First couple minutes of one of my favorite J.S. Bach songs. |
| Air | June 1993: Music by J.S. Bach. I wasn't sure if this is worth posting but there are some kind of cool things about it. This is one of the first few things I did with a Tascam 4 track I got. I was reading the music from sheet music over a simple drum track. |

The following songs were either songs my old band Scimitar used to play or songs that belong to the band. |
|
| Kill | April 1994: Lyrics by Joe Welch, Music by Michael Kohn. Vocals are Joe Welch (not the singer for Scimitar, but the drummer), all guitars, bass, and drum programming (on an Amiga 500) by Michael Kohn, background vocals by Jon Parsons, Brian Grote, and Michael Kohn. |
| Mindless | May 2018: Lyrics and music by Joe Welch. I recorded this recently for fun. I'm playing all the instruments and since I didn't have a singer I used macOS's voice simulation to do most of the vocals. |
| Loser | April 1994: Music and Lyrics by Jon Parsons and Joe Welch. Vocals Jon Parsons, lead/rhythm guitar Michael Kohn, rhythm guitar Brian Grote, drums by Dynamic Drums on an Amiga 500. |
| Distance | July 1994?: Music and Lyrics by Jon Parsons and Joe Welch. Vocals and guitar: Jon Parsons, lead/rhythm guitar: Michael Kohn. |
| The Wakeup Call | April 1994: Music Jon Parsons and Michael Kohn. So Joe (Welch) leaves a series of messages on Jon's answering machine to wake him up so we could practice. We put music to it. This wasn't actually a Scimitar song, but it seemed to belong in this section. |
