During high school, I lived with my sister and her son (my nephew). We lived next to Salem River, and my bedroom window faced west. We had so many wonderful sunsets. My sister would often make us stop what we were doing to look out the window to watch the very end of the sunset. 

Years passed, I moved away, my nephew moved away, but my sister remained. 

Those sunsets made such an impression on me, I got married at my sister’s house along the river at sunset. 

In 2017 my sister passed away and my nephew moved back into our old home.  Then in March of 2022 my nephew began photographing that same setting sun that I would watch thirty-five years earlier. Sadly, he passed that December.

As I was working on this project it struck me, I should compose a piece about that sunset.  I always saw the sun as struggling to stay afloat with even moments of almost violent outburst of rays of light as it grasped to linger just a little longer.  So, this piece represents that wonderful sun of my youth (and now my senior years) doing its best to give us just a few more moments of its beautiful and warm light and a few more moments of life.

This piece features Davide Bonomo on flute, Manuel Domènech on english horn and oboe as well ass Javier Cereceda on bassoon.

Portrait Of A Setting Sun

Emerge // Search

"Pure Cotton Ghosts" is an experimental rock-jazz fusion that pays homage to outsider music. With its off-kilter rhythms and raw, lo-fi atmosphere, the track has a spontaneous and unconventional sound that evokes the creative spirit of outsider artists. Though devoid of formal musical training, these musical outsiders produce compositions that are unfiltered and idiosyncratic. "Pure Cotton Ghosts" channels this aesthetic with its jagged time signatures and dissonant melodies. The lead guitar wails without restraint over off-beat drum grooves and wandering bass lines. This is music that embraces imperfection and thrives on instinct. Abstract yet emotionally resonant, "Pure Cotton Ghosts" celebrates the bold artistic vision of those who create on the fringes. Its avant-garde sensibility makes no compromises as it recklessly explores new sonic terrain.

In homage to the Lizard People Overlord, our celestial muse, “Beats from Macuz” emerges. Inspired by cosmic rhythms and otherworldly echoes, this track weaves a sonic tapestry that resonates across the expanse of Planet Macuz. Let the pulsating beats be our anthem, echoing through the reptilian canyons and starlit jungles.
