A short piece using the computer keyboard as an instrument. Best listened to in the dark.

Brian Gomien - Stairwell

This was a collaboration with Matt Mangold who played recorder. I played the left hand bass drum of a set of tablas. We interacted with a digital loop of us in real time to give the illusion of more players. It evokes a macabre dance willingly or not of sickened villagers.

Matt Mangold & Brian Gomien - Waltz Of The Plague

Another Collaboration with Matt Mangold and Gerald Menke. We used distorted guitar, clarinet reed, tablas, tambourine, thumb piano and trombone in tandem with a real time digital loop.

Matt Mangold & Brian Gomien -Serpent In The Garden

I have put off uploading this for a long time. I wanted to add upright bass and a few other touches but I still want to preserve the intimacy of this track. It may get fleshed out more but for now I'm happy with it.

This was a sketch that I had made when I was first learning tabla. I created a digital loop from a sarangi sample and my little sister's parakeet chirping. The guitar was open tuned similar to bouzouki FADACD. It was later fleshed out with "Mohenjo Daro"
