Welcome to a site that encourages collaboration and creativity, this takes many paths of styles and possibilities. Download, collaborate and then simply email it to 2023donut@gmail.com and leave a msg on the song you have done that. Creativity welcomed, learn and grow as an artist and have some fun during all of this world melee going on out there.  All about creativity, not dominance, so enjoy! Original generated music from this site under 2023donut is attributed to Colin Gross/Michael Mooser (Colin doesn't participate now but because of his support there would be no music from me if I had not had his support for decades so I always give credit back to an original pact made in 1975-6) if stated as page name, other contributing artists will have their name attached to the work always. Once you download a piece and collaborate with it simply email it to 2023donut@gmail.com and leave a message here that you did. Then it will be posted here on this page for the whole cycle to begin again. Stay positive, could be worse all the haters could be twins! This is a positive experience, anyone bringing anything else will be ignored, life is short, don't have time for it. Have a wonderful day!!!!

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
