Singing Comet

i decided to turn this project into a one night ( few hours) EP ...I have also decided to self release it and give it to you for free, because I CAN. It is just a spacey SPUR of the moment JAM on my little CASIO SK1 and garageband.

LOW ROAR (CASIO DREAM HOUSE EP!)

vox and casio. weird late night half assed attempt at a great song.

DANCING IN THE DARK (casio cover)

UPDATE (20 Aug 2015): What made the comet sing? Scientists working on Rosetta's RPC instrument have found out why 67P/C-G was singing. Via http://wp.me/p46DHN-1nN

ORIGINAL Citation (Oct 2014): Rosetta’s Plasma Consortium (RPC) has uncovered a mysterious ‘song’ that Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is singing into space. The comet seems to be emitting a ‘song’ in the form of oscillations in the magnetic field in the comet’s environment. It is being sung at 40-50 millihertz, far below human hearing, which typically picks up sound between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. To make the music audible to the human ear, the frequencies have been increased in this recording. This sonification of the RPC-Mag data was compiled by German composer Manuel Senfft (www.tagirijus.de).  Read full details in ESA's Rosetta blog: http://wp.me/p46DHN-Li

A Singing Comet

i took out all the guitar and bass and percussion...and so u can hear some of the lil things going on in the song besides that. It is pretty interesting to hear, and you can hear a lot of lil breathes and lip licking (haha) . Figured I would post it for a few days for you to hear. 

JUST A HABIT (special version) *no guitar, bass or percussion

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."
