Songs to Code By

Songs to Code By was an idea given to me by a good friend at my place of work, who shall remain gloriously and humbly nameless.

It was simply that a collection of [rather eclectic] music should be made in order to have on hand to listen to while coding.

It began in 2011, and continues into 2012, and plan is to release a tune periodically[monthly at least] until….sometime.

This is a labor of love, an interest in music exploration, recording, technology and what not.

I hope someone…somewhere enjoys at least some of the tunes that will make their way onto the playlist.

Cheers,

Rich

For you musician types interested in the instruments used, they are  as follows:

Electric guitar is a 1987 Ibanez RG-550 in Road Flare Red

Classical is a Gianinni

Bass is a Peavey..something or other

A Roland JV1010 is used on some tracks
