Description: Artificial Paradise — a high-energy techno journey into neon-lit soundscapes. Pulsing deep bass meets otherworldly soprano vocals, weaving harmony and intensity into a hypnotic, electrifying experience. Get lost in the synthetic glow, feel the heartbeat of the future, and surrender to the artificial paradise.

Inspired by a new law signed by Governor Kelly Ayotte, this bluegrass tune tells the cautionary tale of wrong-way drunken driving in New Hampshire. From hefty fines and jail time to breathalyzers in your car, “Wrong-Way Blues in the Granite State” lays out the penalties in a toe-tapping, banjo-free, fiddle-and-mandolin-driven romp. And in true New Hampshire fashion, the same bill also made the Virginia opossum the official state marsupial—thanks to some determined fifth graders. A mix of sharp-eyed commentary and back-porch humor, this song captures the Granite State’s unique blend of law and local color.

Wrong-Way Blues in the Granite State

An experiment.  An old melody (from High School), some notes from a trip to China and the talents of several colleagues

With verses steeped in natural detail and a chorus that lingers like the last warm breeze, Summer’s End captures that tender moment between memory and change, when autumn’s first breath whispers through the fields.  Perfect for listeners who love heartfelt songwriting, acoustic textures, and songs that feel like a slow evening on the porch as the seasons shift.

Northampton's Fall

Verse 1
Drift on waves of starlit sand,
Echoes hum where shadows stand.
Breath of reeds, a voiceless call,
Skies unfold, the night won't fall.

Chorus
Through the haze, we weave the sound,
Worlds unseen, no lost, no found.
Pulse of earth, the heart's soft drone,
Sing the void, we're not alone.

Verse 2
Mist ascends from rivers wide,
Tones that bend where dreams collide.
Steps dissolve in timeless air,
Light and dust, we're everywhere.

Chorus
Through the haze, we weave the sound,
Worlds unseen, no lost, no found.
Pulse of earth, the heart's soft drone,
Sing the void, we're not alone.

Bridge
Whispers carve the silent tide,
Notes that float where spirits glide.
No beginning, no refrain,
All is one, no loss, no gain.

Outro
Fade to glow, the winds embrace,
Time dissolves in boundless space.
Hum the song that none can name,
Fourth world calls, we're all the same.

Fourth World

A tender folk ballad inspired by the chestnut-sided warbler’s migration. Soft acoustic guitar and warm harmonies paint a vivid picture of New England meadows, vibrant warblers, and their journey to the Caribbean. Evoking nature’s cycles and spring’s promise, this song is a serene ode to the beauty of migration.

Experience Cosmic Butterfly, a dynamic techno work drawn from the James Webb Telescope’s revelations of NGC 6302. Robust bass pulses merge with ethereal soprano voices, forging an exhilarating auditory journey through the nebula’s radiant dust and intricate forms. This composition evokes the origins of Earth, captivating listeners who cherish cosmic exploration and electronic soundscapes.

(Verse 1)
In the heart of the stars, where the cosmos ignite,
A butterfly nebula glows in the night.
NGC 6302, three thousand light-years away,
Secrets of Earth in its dusty display.

Pulsing deep bass, feel the rhythm unfold,
Crystalline silicates, stories untold.
From the torus of dust to the jets that take flight,
A stellar engine burns in the neon-lit night.

(Pre-Chorus)
Red bubbles burst, helium and neon collide,
Iron jets pierce where the mysteries hide.
PAHs in the smoke, like a cosmic refrain,
Born in the chaos, where the stars feel no pain.

(Chorus)
Cosmic butterfly, spread your wings in the sky,
Dance through the void where the galaxies fly.
Webb's infrared gaze, tearing secrets apart,
Singing the song of creation's own heart.
(Oh-oh-oh) Electrified, we're lost in the sound,
(Oh-oh-oh) Techno waves where the stars are unbound.

(Verse 2)
A blazing star, two hundred thousand degrees,
Sculpting the heavens with a fiery breeze.
The torus spins, a doughnut of dreams,
Blocking the light, shaping butterfly wings.

Soprano cries soar, otherworldly and clear,
Echoes of atoms through the cosmic frontier.
From quartz to the grime, in the nebula's core,
The seeds of our world in the stardust we soar.

(Pre-Chorus)
Iron and nickel, they carve through the void,
Jets of creation where the stars are deployed.
A bubble of wind, where the PAHs rise,
Honeycomb dreams in the nebula's skies.

(Chorus)
Cosmic butterfly, spread your wings in the sky,
Dance through the void where the galaxies fly.
Webb's infrared gaze, tearing secrets apart,
Singing the song of creation's own heart.
(Oh-oh-oh) Electrified, we're lost in the sound,
(Oh-oh-oh) Techno waves where the stars are unbound.

(Bridge)
Zoom to the center, where the star's hidden glow,
Dust clouds ignite in the infrared show.
ALMA and Webb, hand in hand they reveal,
A structured chaos, where the cosmos feels real.
Hypnotic beats pulse, like the heart of the star,
Soprano ascends, takes us light-years too far.

(Chorus)
Cosmic butterfly, spread your wings in the sky,
Dance through the void where the galaxies fly.
Webb's infrared gaze, tearing secrets apart,
Singing the song of creation's own heart.
(Oh-oh-oh) Electrified, we're lost in the sound,
(Oh-oh-oh) Techno waves where the stars are unbound.

(Outro)
Bipolar wings, in the dark they unfold,
A fleeting nebula, twenty thousand years old.
From soot to gemstones, in the stardust we trust,
Cosmic butterfly, you're the spark of our dust.
(Oh-oh-oh) Electrified, we're lost in the sound,
(Oh-oh-oh) Forever bound, where the stars are found.
