The Sustain Series project continues with its second volume, 24 recycled forms created from old and unused material. Since the release of Volume 1 in November last year, more artists have come together to salvage, repurpose, restore and deconstruct each other’s pieces, or collaborate on a particular idea. What results is a growing variety of approaches and outputs, from minor embellishments to full disfigurement.

Volume 2 moves thematically, as if in four chapters, from the expressive openers, through enchanting natural-sounding pieces, before opening up to more ethereal expanses, and finally darker and more thoughtful ones. As it does, visions emerge of our natural world - its power, its beauty and its vulnerability.

Halftribe & awakened souls - Upstream

Filament and Place

Innesti - Notwithstanding

This well known track by Zawinul (originally from Weather Report’s “Tale Spinnin’” record) is one of our favorites. This was our encore at UpFront on 9/30/22.

EuroS5000

This is an improvised piece - just sitting at the piano, and playing whatever comes out. As the title says, it was a rainy day in May. 3:15 in length.

Quick test of Eastwood Classic Tenor Guitar, Haken Continuum, and Korg Wavestate

Another wonder around on the CS80 and Oasys

After the Storm

This is the only recording I have of an original draft of a piece I wrote for a live performance play of "The Giver." I wrote all original music and incidental sfx for that community theatre/college stage performance in 2016, to try something new. It was fun, I should try it again, the next time the opportunity arises.

Instrumentation:
Modartt PianoTeq Stage 5, Prophet 12, Virus TI2, Omnisphere, and Albino3 plus FX plugins by ValhallaDSP, all hosted in Albleton Live 9.
This is also the only thing I had used the P12 in before trading it out.

Giver Opening Theme - First Draft 2016

As I continue digging though my old recordings, I found a song I wrote in 1979 and recorded on my Teac A-3440 4-track reel-to-reel tape deck. Punk was all the rage, and the Sex Pistols had just played their U.S. debut at Atlanta’s Great Southeast Music Hall two years earlier. Note that the refrain, “It hurts so good,” was two years before the hit single with a similar title. ©1979 by Geary Yelton

Beat Me (1980)

Processed ukulele, modular synth, and Haken Continuum

Eclectic multi-Instrumentalist. I just freakin' love sound, and the tools to create and shape sound.
