Duration: 2 min 17 s
Description: thought it would be interesting to remove the pulse from Reich's music for 18 and just have it play out as a ambient synth patch.I used NI Absynth for the patch.

Another "one-note" Absynth soundscape. I wanted to depict the sounds one might hear deep inside a melting iceberg.

Lacrimosa for solo piano was recorded in April of 2013.  I believe it is one of the most beautiful works Kirk has ever written and I love playing it.

MY GRAVE 
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox 

If, when I die, I must be buried, let 
No cemetery engulph me — no lone grot, 
Where the great palpitating world comes not, 
Save when, with heart bowed down and eyelids wet, 
It pays its last sad melancholy debt 
To some outjourneying pilgrim. May my lot 
Be rather to lie in some much-used spot, 
Where human life, with all its noise and fret, 
Throbs on about me. Let the roll of wheels, 
With all earth’s sounds of pleasure, commerce, love, 
And rush of hurrying feet surge o’er my head. 
Even in my grave I shall be one who feels 
Close kinship with the pulsing world above; 
And too deep silence would distress me, dead.

My Grave (2012) based on the poetry of Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Some tracks I made years ago that were waiting in my hard disk, for a quick overview of my style. Made with Cubase, NI Reaktor, NI Absynth, Roland XP-80, Korg MS-20.
I've lost most of the recording audiofiles so I'll likely never make a better mix, some have even been restored from cassette tapes.

Your Voice

This is an attempt at making a patch with Native Instruments Absynth that plays Brian Eno's Discreet Music all by itself. I tried to give it a Frippertronics flavor.
