My first GarageBand work, written on 2/12/04. It's just a little techno ditty. It started out mostly as just an exercise to see what I can do with the program, and whether it could easily handle chord changes. I'm sure it's pretty derivative, but I think it ended up being pretty catchy. But check it out for yourself:
In 128 kbps MP3 format (3.0 MB): fling93 - Grasshopper.mp3.
In Ogg Vorbis format, Q4.99 (3.5 MB): fling93 - Grasshopper.ogg.
In 128 kbps ACC format (3.0 MB): fling93 - Grasshopper.m4a.
I’d suggest right-clicking (or for Mac users, ctrl-clicking) it, saving/downloading the link target to your hard drive, and then loading it in your favorite media player. Although it might also stream if you just click it.
The piece also appeared on my blog here, where I also discuss my initial impressions of GarageBand.
No, I didn't write this one. It's a cover. Had to test out my new Shure SM57 microphone, and I had trouble getting the tempo variations in any Tori Amos song, so I just went with Vanessa Carlton's Ordinary Day, which is a pretty simple pop song, but my favorite off of her debut album, Be Not Nobody (although, that and A Thousand Miles are the only good songs on the album). I'm not really that great a singer, but I think I'm at least a step up from William Hung.
In 128 kbps MP3 format (3.4 MB): fling93 - Ordinary Day.mp3.

I haven't gotten around to encoding it to Ogg Vorbis.
