oooh, this is so nice! and sounds very magical!

Man... all your songs are so great. Truly. I'm really enjoying listening. (They make a great soundtrack for choice viewing on IG.)

"Did You Know?"

I think we've come across the edge of no return
I think I'm realizing I may never learn
So what exactly does that mean for us at all?
Does that mean that this is the final curtain call?

I don't want this moment to happen
But I can't find a single way out of it
I don't want this feeling to stay here
But I can't think of anything but this fear
That is gonna be the final time that we talk

I think you knew that
That this would happen
But did you know that?
But did you know that?
I didn't want this
I think I know that
That this is happening
And yet I didn't know
But did you know that?
But did you know that?

I think we've come across the point of no return
I think I'm realizing you might never learn
So what exactly does that mean when this year ends?
Does that mean that this is the final thing I send?

I don't want this moment to happen
But I can't find a single way out of this
I don't want this feeling to linger
But I can't think of anything but this fear
That this is gonna be the last time that we talk

I think you knew that
That this would happen
But did you know that?
But did you know that?
I didn't want this
I think I know that
That this is happening
And yet I didn't know
But did you know that?
But did you know that?

I can hear the encore now
I can see why they said "wow"
I think the curtain's finally come down this time
Can you hear the encore now?
Do you know why they said "wow"?
Did you know the curtain would come down this entire time?

I think you knew that
I think you knew that
That this would happen
But did you know that?
But did you know that?
I didn't want this
I think I know that
That this is happening
And yet I didn't know

But did you know that?
That this would happen
I think you knew that
That this was happening
I didn't want this
I think I know that
That this is happening
But did you know that?

But did you know that?
That this would happen
I think you knew that
That this was happening
I didn't want this
I think I know that
That this is happening
But did you know that?

I think you knew that
That this would happen
But did you know that
I didn't want this?
I think I know that
That this is happening
But did you know that?
But did you know that?

Did You Know

Synthesized Sounds of the Sea is an album of electronic music dedicated to creatures of the ocean. Dolphins and eels, jellyfish and starfish each get their own sonic palette in this musical exploration of marine life. Recorded using vintage and modern analog synthesizers, the album continues the popular web project Animals and Synthesizers, expanding the musical snippets of Instagram into full length tracks.

Recording of the sounds from my recent echo-cardiogram, often referred to in the medical community as a cardiac ECHO or simply an ECHO, is a sonogram of the heart. These are actual sounds taken from my heart on Tuesday May 10th 2011. The recording was taken straight from the Echo machine. I tried to record the blood flow measurements for each heart valve. 

Note: The photo is actually my aortic valve taken during the procedure:)

The Kawai PH50 is one of the more unique sounding small cheap keyboards I encountered. According to the manual it uses the same synthesizer engine as the K1, the "poor man's Fairlight". Sound quality was cut down even more and there is not much to tweak, yet it sounds gloriously lofi.

Treated with vintage German broadcast gear (Tab V72a, Eckmiller 86, Siemens U273) and recorded at 48Khz/24BIT so it sounds hifi in all its lofi. True to the original, no round robins.

Field Recordings of the Mysterious Ringing Rocks/Montana, music made with rocks. Near Butte Montana, and part of the edge of the Boulder Batholith, is a large jumbled pile of boulders, the rocks in this unique geologic formation chime melodically when tapped lightly with a crescent wrench or mallet.

It is believed that the ringing is a combination of the composition of the rock and the way the joining patterns have developed as the rocks have eroded away, though ultimately a concrete scientific explanation has yet to be arrived at. Curiously, if a boulder is removed from the pile, it no longer rings.

Slightly different pitches and timbres emanate from thousands of rocks in the formation, and in theory Butte's Ringing Rocks could form the basic ostinato for the "Music of the Spheres."(Musica Universalis)

All sounds captured with the Sony PCM-D100 24bit-96khz

Bat field recordings from a recent trip to the North GA mountains. This sound clip was captured using the Anabat SD2 - Bat Detector - high microphone. This device allows you to monitor the ultrasonic echolocation calls of bats for species identification and activity measurement. The particular species of bat in this recording are the Indiana Bat. The typical hearing range of this bat is between 20hz - 150Khz. They locate their prey by means of echolocation. They will produce a very, loud short sound and assess the echo when it bounces back. The type of insect and how big it is can be determined by the quality of the echo and time it takes for the echo to rebound. They also use two frequency types; constant frequency (CF) and frequency modulated (FM) calls that descend in pitch. Each type reveals different information for the bat. The CF is used to detect an object, and the FM is used to provide information regarding the nature of the object and its distance. The pulses of sound produced by the bat last only a few thousandths of a second with silences between the calls that give time to listen for the information coming back in the form of a echo. I was amazed at how complex some of these  echolocation patterns looked on a sonogram and was even more blown away by how they sounded. This file was outputted from the Anabat software application which takes the bat calls and converts them to wave files. The Anabat software application also converted the calls to a audible human hearing range (20hz-20khz) as most of the bats calls went up into the 150khz range.

Bat Recordings - with the Anabat SD2 - Ultrasonic Echolocation Detector

Some semi-generative noodling using the old ewiVoicing app to produce rotating intervals played by different instances of the Surge synth, one voice each. The fourth voice goes through both a “one-step arpeggiator” and a ping-pong delay. Everything I sent to Blackhole reverb.
Really satisfying to play. Did several takes which are fairly different from one another.

Collection of recordings on January 10th 2011 during the Georgia winter storm. Various sleds, ice breaking, ice creaking, icy tension cracks, and heavy snow crunches/impacts. All sounds recorded at 24-bit 96khz with the Neumann RSM 191 A-S M-S Stereo Shotgun Microphone System and Sound Devices 702 Digital Recorder. Two Aquarian audio H2a-XLR hydrophones used for the frozen water drainage pipe recording.

this is a 2007 bit. it's an obvious 
sort of alternate take on the melodic ideas 
of "electronic study for a hallmark holiday" ...for what it's worth.

dr. auxiliary is rocco harris is dr. auxiliary & so on... you see the pattern there, yes? well, there's a new wrinkle in all this... roll it the above are now operating under the moniker of fall precauxions. find these musings here----> fallprecauxions.bandcamp.com

these are compositions made from a variety of approaches using analog synths, digital ones, samplers & various effects... reason, finale, broken down pianos, pots & pans & springs & things.... these pieces span from 2002 to the present..... more will surely be revealed....

I'm very much interested in collaborating with dancers, filmmakers & artists of all sorts, so please do hit me up, y'all... let's collaborate!!
