Essentially every track of mine that is entirely my own composition including tracks based on other concepts, that are not merely arrangements but truly original in nature.

Time

I set a goal this year to take a break from shows until the end of 2021 in order to focus on production. This was the last show I did this year (8/28/21), but it's also fitting to release now as it comprises almost all of what I created this year. Thank you for an amazing year and I can't wait to get back to playing sets like this in 2022! 🖤

Dissatisfaction Expands To The Available Space

A very short ambient/jazz track with some pads in it

It is sort of like, supposed to be a cutesy update of the little amusing short piano thing in Winger's apartment before he does the pushups at the beginning of Stripes(1981) with Bill Murray.  That they play for about 2 loops.  I know how to play that by ear too and get good satisfaction out of that just laughing at it.

This one per the cover art is sort of an update to Soyjak life in current-day dystopia industrialized cities or something.  He's got his little delusion graphic in his head that things are fine and reality is the smog etc.

Upside To Manlet Existence

(Well I Guess) Maybe I'll Bribe Her With Some Fruit

A probable encounter, should I ever see her again:

Her: "I need to talk to you."

Me: "Why are you malfunctioning? You're not supposed to want that!"

This builds on Whimsy #1 a little. After a period of pondering and wandering for about three months.

4-18-2023: I haven't forgotten anybody for followbacks.  My stuff rose so sharply Soundcloud's main thing is scolding me for following too many in 1-day.  So I gotta wait

later on 4-18: got the reciprocal follows done if y'all were wondering.  Cheers.

The Mid-Levelers' Anthem (FF4 Mt. Hobs / Ordeals)

Sequel to Odd Little Ways Parte The First, less of a loop, more of a singularly built track.  But some familiar threads in it.

Odd Little Ways, Parte the Second

Dedicated warmly to DanikaXIX's cat Beans.

A short stroll around the dark, for those with the chops for it.

("I didn't know you were a musician."

"I'm capable of a -number- of things neither of us are aware of.
The real question remains -- are you going to cooperate with lifting the veil?"

--apocryphal)

Nite Prowl

We've all been there.
Stuff is on the rocks and we have to slog through the interpersonal struggle.

A piece with repeating sections like Nite Prowl but branches into some new territory for me.

This was reprised several months later with "Luck Will Turn" (Track #87)

To The Full Extent Of The JAM

The Middle Eight of Mach Rider's Main Tune for original 8-bit NES.

All rights reserved to Nintendo and the original composer (Hideki Kanazashi)
No intent to infringe, free track for all.

Middle 8 is kind of a misnomer it's longer than 8 measures but it's accurate enough as "the part you don't normally hear until you're advanced into something"  As this tune only played if you were at least 8 courses into the game's progression.  When the ruins are replaced by futuristic buildings on the horizon.

Dedicated to all of those who are headed either direction on I-5 into Seattle at around exit 190's ish not really obeying 80 MPH in the left lane.  We know who you are.  A significant fraction of you are humming exactly this portion.

Performed manually without any arpeggiation, from memory.  It's a little glitchy but it's the fondness for it that counts.

Drawing on themes from my PhD research, "Netscape: Cities and Global Corporate Networks" https://repub.eur.nl/pub/16013/ , the song "Network Inequality" emerges as a powerful sonic exploration of the disparities within global economic systems. The track uses an AI voice as a detached narrator, delivering terms like "asymmetric system," "network of a network," and "inequality of the economic network," among others. These terms are interspersed with graph theory measures such as "indegree," "outdegree," and "centrality," effectively mapping the intricate flows of capital and power as if in real time.

The song's progression mirrors the ebb and flow of financial markets, with the music intensifying to represent the volatile dynamics of economic systems. A poignant moment arrives during the bridge when a deep male voice cuts through the mix, intoning "Babylon lovers are Babylon lovers"—a direct invocation of the Rastafarian concept of Babylon. This oppressive system symbolizes economic exploitation and inequality, contrasting starkly with the cold, mechanical voice of the AI. This human element, raw and soulful, underscores the human cost hidden beneath economic abstractions.

Female voices whisper chants that grow increasingly louder and impassioned, intertwining with the AI’s stark recitations. The culmination is a crescendo where detached technological articulations and defiant human responses clash, plunging the listener into the chaotic soundscape that represents the network itself.

Beyond its lyrical depth, "Network Inequality" is a testament to the innovation in contemporary electronic music, blending psytrance, experimental electronic, retrosynth, and nudisco. The track channels the energetic, modernized psytrance reminiscent of Vini Vici, enriched by the melodic layers akin to Astrix, and pulsates with a rhythmic base that propels it forward. Cosmic synths and expansive soundscapes, influenced by Electric Universe, give the track a celestial quality.

Retrosynth elements recall the nostalgic vibes of Klopfgeister, merging a retro aesthetic with modern sensibilities. The inclusion of nudisco adds a groovy, danceable dimension that mirrors the lighter, playful elements found in Neelix’s genre-blending productions. "Network Inequality" is not just a musical piece but a narrative collage, paying homage to avant-garde influences like Shpongle and Ritmo, who push the boundaries of their genres.

This track is not merely a collection of influences but a cohesive narrative that challenges listeners to question the underpinnings of our global economy. It is a compelling encounter for both psytrance aficionados and those new to the genre, drawn by its eclectic and innovative appeal. The repeating mantra, "Babylon lovers, are Babylon lovers," inspired by The Slits’ "Love Und Romance," serves as a resonant reminder of the ongoing struggle against systemic economic inequalities.

The song Void describes life and death as eternal parts of a cosmic symphony, where the universe is understood as a continuum of shifting sonic frequencies, rather than physical matter. The track describes reality as an intricate interplay of non-random vibrations, where dissonant noise and organized harmonies generate the laws of nature, particles, and waves. These frequencies continuously entangle, creating and reshaping the universe, while death represents the absence of frequency—a state of complete silence. The song suggests that existence is a cosmic orchestration, where everything is born from the interaction of these frequencies. Written for my late father George Wall, a physicist.

Lyrics:

No material universe exists, but a continuum of shifting frequencies, colliding at infinite speeds. 
It is a domain of eternal coordinates, where most of its substance is dissonant noise, and the remainder evolving harmonies of organized complexity and structure. 
Unlike chaos, it is an orchestra of non-random frequencies, that intersect to create the myriads of cosmic notes and rhythms we perceive as matter and its laws. 
Laws that are materializations of clustered or linear coordinates, that enable the emergence of particles and waves. 
Moreover, it is from the destructive and constructive entanglements of these entities, that our physical universes are born and reborn, endlessly performed by the conductors of time. 
From these entanglements, existence is protected from the void, where death is the absence of all frequencies, a perpetual silence where creative symphonies cannot be composed nor performed. 

Come fly with me to my existence. 
Free yourself from your body. 
Come fly with me into tomorrow. 
Fill yourself with brilliant light. 
Death is the absence of all frequency.
That's what attracts love to the void. 
Come fly with me to our existence. 
Fill yourself with brilliant life. 
Come fly with me to my existence. 
Free yourself from your body. 
Come fly with me into tomorrow. 
Fill yourself with brilliant light. 
Death is the absence of all frequency. 
That's what attracts love to the void. 
Come fly with me to our existence. 
Fill yourself with brilliant life.

"Requiem Of The Chanting Steel" is a sonic meditation on the devastating effects of war, the relentless pursuit of technological development, and the pollution that suffocates our planet. I composed this piece with the intention of drawing attention to how aggressive industrialization and global conflicts can erode not only the environment but also the very essence of humanity.

From the opening chords, the anthemic rhythm, present throughout the composition, evokes a grave and dramatic sense, symbolizing the ineluctable march toward destruction. It is a march of steel, of heavy machinery dominating battlefields and industrialized cities, but also of a humanity losing control. The rhythm becomes a call — a call for all of us to reflect on the path we are heading down. It is a lament for the loss of balance, a testimony to how technology has supplanted nature, and how unchecked development drives us toward a tragic end.

As the melody progresses, the weighty, intense tones of metal and synthesizers intertwine with more organic motifs, such as nature's roots beginning to wrap around the metal structures, symbolizing a return to a primordial state, a need to reconnect with nature. It is a story of resilience, of how nature reclaims its place despite technological advancement, but also of the inevitable decline of industrial civilization.

At the conclusion of the piece, male voices solemnly intone "Hora es" – a song of awakening, a call to action. This chant symbolizes the final moment of awareness. "The time has come" for us to awaken, to cease escalating global conflicts, and to stop destroying the planet in the name of false industrial progress. It is a plea to take action, in the twelfth hour, to save what remains of nature, of ourselves, and of our future.

This piece is meant to serve not only as a requiem for the world we are on the verge of losing but also as a manifesto for the necessary change. It is time to acknowledge the devastating effects of war and pollution and to return to balance before it is too late.

The words here come from the chapter describing a Samhain shamanic ceremony in my book The Dragon Whisperer's Son, and as ever, @APi_ZZ has come up with the most perfect, and moving, music to accompany them. The Bird Mother was the most ancient goddess of the Caucasian races, in acknowledgement of the vital role of the birds in fertilising the lands.

Words: 

Samhain began, as it did every year, on the stroke of midnight when the bright star of Antares was directly over the Fairy Stone. The Fairy Stone was a huge, white obelisk and it was covered with tiny inscribed sigils that were barely visible under the thickly-encrusted green moss of ages. 

No human alive could remember how the Fairy Stone came to be there – and quite probably no-one who was dead either. It was only the dragons of the misty black Mountains of Memory who kept that knowledge safe from prying ears.

A cold breeze was gusting around the crowds of locals milling there amidst the blue, smokey fragrance from the bonfires. The flaming pine logs were dripping with sweet aromatic resins as they fired crackling sparks of brilliant orange into the dark-clouded skies. 

Scarlet elf cap mushrooms peeped through a damp carpet of gold, russet and bronze leaves covering the hard, muddy ground. The trees they had fallen from were now standing bare and shivering, entirely naked, but bravely ready to face the first gales of winter.  Frosted cobwebs, stretching between their branches, twinkled under a full silver moon.  An owl hooted.

In front of the Fairy Stone stood a large wooden platform. It had been charred black, and then scored with white Xs, Vs and spirals to turn it into an altar, carved in the shape of an eagle so gigantic that it was as if the constellation of Aquila had fallen from the star-studded vaults above. Standing astride the altar was a giant effigy of a woman. She had a pointed head and the beaked face of a bird of prey. Her breasts were huge and egg-shaped, as were her protruding buttocks.  Her arms, outstretched as if in flight, were entwined with wriggling serpents. It was the Bird Mother. 

Each family was going forward, one at a time, to the Bird Mother's altar with their offerings of lit candles for the Naming of the Dead ceremony. Tears glistened in their eyes as the recited with gratitude the names of all those who had before come them.  It wasn't long before there were so many candles jostling together that the altar began to mirror the glittering blackness of the night skies. 

Afterwards, hearts were so full and heavy with remembrance that each preferred to just sit silently with their own thoughts, their solemn faces upturned towards the stars to watch Orion, the Lord of Winter, arise from his watery Underworld to reclaim his rulership over that half of the year. 

Then they were content in their hearts that throughout the cold dark days to come, new starseeds would be nurtured in the warmth of the womb of Earth; that the silver spindle connecting their revolving seasons to the starry mills slowly grinding above would hold firm with their prayers and offerings; that eventually new stargates would open like vast glittering palaces, and that the end of the beginning was done so that life could become and spiral on forevermore.

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
