yeah, this goes really well with a morning coffee and watching the snow fall.

It is wonderful when a previously released song has enough potential energy to be released as a new song in a different genre.  So it is with this song first inspired by Thommo last spring in a collaboration with him and Ren Faye called "Dream Catching".  I liked the initial soundscape and guitar parts enough that I wanted to do a separate acoustic release under a different title.  Debra Buesking's definitive artistry entered the picture when we were teasing ideas for another collaboration.  I submitted this to her, she loved it, and now graces it with her superb playing, actually re-inventing the song.  More of her fine music can be heard @debra_buesking 
Imagine a windswept veranda. a couple dancing to distant thunder, passions building and breaking as the storm approaches.  The original is much different, more Celtic and ethereal and can be heard here as well as Thommo's other amazing productions: soundcloud.com/thommo_tunes/dream-catching-feat-david-dunham-and-ren-faye

Santa's In A Funk - Jamie Rhind

THE GOLDEN EGG
You hope for the golden egg
but you get the silly goose.
It's alright, it's ok
it'll have to do.

Your picnic in the sun
is a sandwich in the rain.
It's alright, it's ok
it'll have to do.

It'll have to do till something better comes along.
It'll have to do just like the song I'm singing to you now,
It'll have to do somehow.
It'll have to do.
Yeah, it'll have to do.

The dreams in your eyes
it comes as no surprise
you've had to compromise them all.
Though they are not dead
get it through your head
your big dreams now are small.

You want to be a star
but you never got that far.
It's alright, it's ok
it'll have to do.

You want to hold the hand of your true love
but end up with an empty glove.
It's alright, it's ok
it'll have to do.

It'll have to do till something better comes along.
It'll have to do just like the song I'm singing to you now,
It'll have to do somehow.
It'll have to do.
Yeah, it will have to do.

You hope for the golden egg
but you get the silly goose.
It's alright, it's ok
it'll have to do.

The Golden Egg (Live)

stay

Finally I can sit again after weeks with a troubled back. I tend to like more and more experimental music ss the years go by. Projects like this gives me great pleasure to dive into rather than more melodic music. Here my D70 lays the background with a pad I made from organ and choir sounds. This is what the D70 is fantastic at. 
The two BARP2600 with self-resonant filters and pulsating LFOs gives me some new ideas for the next project. Two 2600's gives many hours of study in the coming months/years!
Gear: 2xBARP2600 + Roland D70 + recorder.

Unfathomable

my biggest love

I started playing around with digital music creation in my early twenties, but I have always been haunted by a quote from Theo Parrish who said that he is "not comfortable with convenience replacing artistry", meaning that you need to put effort into learning and mastering the skills in order to bring something good. I studied computer science and have a passion for logics and programming and somehow my lack of any musical background has kept me from publishing any of my works.

Many years later I got inspired by an interview with Thomas Fehlmann where he explained how the focus in his work is not on the result so much but on the process itself. How the process is a "source of expression" and something he just feels he has to do. This resonated with me and I realised that it's ok to be an autodidact in music and it's ok to make music just for the sake of making music. I make music for me and if you, dear listener, like it along the way I'm very happy about that.

I am inspired by nature, natural processes and the interaction we have with them. Organic asymmetric fractal patterns that are rooted in logic but unpredictable as they express. How a particular stormy night can affect the shape and growth of a plant for years to come.

I use Bitwig Studio to create my tracks.
