So you're wondering whether any of this music is worthy of a domain name? :) Well, download some of the songs and find out! A good starting point is Dad's Picks, an early "best-of" collection in which the songs have been trimmed and remastered. After that, check out the other albums and listen to whatever new and old songs look interesting.

Introduction
Tripecac is a one-man band with occasional guest vocalists. I (Travis Emmitt) write 99% of the songs, perform and edit all the music, produce the CDs, and run the website.
- The name comes from "TRavis" (my name) and "IPECAC" (my old band).
- It's pronounced "TRIP-eh-kak", not "TRIPE-kak".
- The style is a mix of jazz, funk, rock, reggae, post-punk, and new age.
- My strategy/goal is to make lots of music, at least some of it good.
You can find other info about me and my music on the band page and scattered throughout the site. A good starting point is Songs to Sleep By. I love to talk about my projects, so on each page you're gonna find some info about what was going through my head at the time, what I think about the songs now, and other bits of trivia that are probably of interest only to me. :)
If you're curious about my other music, check out the Anchovies, IPECAC, and Trex.
