A musical series of dreams, fragmented and displaced over two centuries, depicting futures of geography and culture. This story is nonlinear. The work is "serial" in the sense of its music but it is non chronological and you may enter at any point.

GRANICHA - a new album from Disparition released 5/23/14

Shadow in the Door

Improvised ambient piano recorded 10-14-14. 

Three Ghosts at Place Sainte-Scarbes

A collaboration between Disparition and Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.

As the European Space Agency approached the comet, they noted that the comet was "singing", emitting a strange pulsing, bubbling tune.  I slowed down the comet's song by about 500% which resulted in a longer and more meditative piece reminiscent, in the beginning, of the human heart.  I then accompanied the comet's singing with my own improvised ambient music, following both the comet's music and the stunning imagery by the ESA.   

Heart of Stone

This is the new single Fate. It is the second single from the forthcoming FAITE (Oct 13 2015).

There is no time here, 
it is distance that pulls us 
outward to our fate. 
As flowers fall from our hands 
the fires rise to meet us.

Je me souviens

Rise

Little Hare Messenger Of The Moon

In their holy shadows we climbed and staggered

1. How to Become a Ghost (Without Dying)

Are your fingers worn to the bone from tearing at wall after wall, never fast enough?

2. Swords of Salt

As the old state falls apart, the hands of gold that owned it remain strong and grasping, separated and naked, ever pulling, pulling through blood or tear, carving sigils into the raw stone

3. Freyam Dreams of Dust

Your debt, though it may feel like a great weight, is a gift not only to us but to you – all those who do the work of this House earn its benefits. In health, in arms, yes, but also in love – unconditional love – and in flow, the flow of puresource, a flow which has powered this House since well before the age of awareness.

4. The Marketer

seen and marked, near silent drifter
may your body be generic and featureless
may your wiring be gutted and pulled
may your quietness fill you
may their ear be clogged

tiny drifter, shining beetle on a ribbon
drawn forth out into the night

5. Five

The first track off of Madoc, coming June 2013.  

Composed and recorded in Brooklyn, NY.
