creepy and disturbing, just how I like it!

I was transferring some of my old music from cassette to digital and thought this one was worth posting.  I think it was done around 1990 and was completely recorded from an old Yamaha YS200

Web Of Triangles

A departure in demo form.
Strings, 2 Pianos, plus a Woodwind or two.

 Fear of the dark can be shared by adults and children....yet in the end we realize that "Monsters" teach us  to overcome and understand "We all have a closet that never gets opened at night"

We all have a closet that doesn't get opened at night

Collaboration between Adam Kane(Drum samples) and myself...
My intention was to use   themes from our "Heretic"  past (Bedlam to be exact), insert EVPS (recorded voices of the dead) for color and texture.

 There are stylistic nods to King Crimson: They were a huge influence on my playing during the 1970's--(the guitar solo is loosely based on Fracture ,not to mention Adams drum samples of Asbury Park and the EVP that sounds like the Easy Money " Laugh Box")
  To achieve a sort of "live" feel most of the playing is one take and not 100%.....this also has to do with computer latency issues( and eventual data loss) that forced me to stop before it could be cleaned up properly

Spooklight is an amalgamation of musical styles. Prog filtered through Cool Jazz with a passing nod to my Art Rock heroes of the 70's and 80's.
These compositions are featured on the collection "Death of a Child"

Michael D : Composer, Guitar, Keyboards, Programming- Dark Lounge is an ongoing musical journey. Since the late 70's my compositions and guitar work were an integral part of the Progressive Rock Trio "Heretic", 
NYC Punk Icons "The Mad",
 Avant Pranksters "Ears" (Frank Zappa himself came by on different occasions to check out the band, as did John Cale's Spy Records),
 MultiMediaArtPunkEnsemble "Irrational" (with Hollywood SFX Legend Screaming Mad George) and the 
New Romantic inspired "Design" "
 My goal as a composer is to bridge all of my influences into one melting pot of un categorized musical stew." Dense, jazzy compositions with fluid guitar, and more than a passing nod to my art rock heroes of the early seventies-
