Phylum Chordata by Firepups
In 1994 I bought an alto saxophone and decided that I liked the sound of the heavy jazz trio. Sax/Bass/Drums with some vocals, like the band Morphine. The Lounge Lizards are another band I heard that inspired me. Of course, I was really getting into Tim Berne, especially his Miniature trio. So, I learned how to play and used the dubbing and redubbing feature on my 4-track. So, here are all the pieces I created from 1994-1996 in that vein.

Little James has been making little songs since the end of the last century. His little songs are called Firepups, because they spring up like little fires in his brain and howl at the moon like bizarre dogs. Enjoy these faithful companions, but don't let them burn the rug.
