These tracks were all composed on my iPhone and iPad almost entirely while commuting on the D.C. Metro. 

Metro

(210220)

Everyone could see
When you chose your destination
You'd get lost in the translation
You made a few wrong turns
Yeah, you've got a lot to learn
Some things are still the same
And I've still got game

When you're frozen in the high beams
Recalculate

Time to sieze your fate
Desire can't be insincere
So tell her what she wants to hear
From a point of view
Everything you say is all true 
Some things are meant to be inferred
They just need different words

When you're frozen in the high beams--
Recalculate

Another path from A to B
Another world for you and me
Another way to set us free
Another truth to see

Recalculate

(210214)

Lights out
Freak out
What the heck is this about?

Sleep walk
Crosstalk
Can't think after three  o'clock 

Gotta get away from you...

Restart
Change of heart
Getting to the tricky part

Wide awake
High stakes
Probably a big mistake 

Gotta get away from you...

Really got in over my head last night
Guess I shoulda stayed at home (next time I might)
Don't wanna be here no more
Gotta get away from Aurora 
Gotcha gotcha gotcha in the rearview
What am I supposed to do?

Break of day
Roll away
Haven't got a thing to say

Gotta run
Jump the gun
Wanna get dim sum

Gotta get away from you...

Let's go
GTO
Climbing out the window. 

Give chase
Save face
Countryside drag race

Gotta get away from you...

Really got in over my head last night
Guess I shoulda stayed at home (next time I might)
Don't wanna be here no more
Gotta get away from Aurora 
Gotcha gotcha gotcha in the rearview
What am I supposed to do?

Aurora

(210215)

Another furtive glance
A firefly, a fleeting chance

An incidental touch
Galvanized—did it mean much?

CHORUS:
In your proximity, close as I’ll ever be
In your proximity, so far away from me

The night so clear and vast
A sliding slope, almost in my grasp 

A tangled situation
Distant hope, constellations

CHORUS

Mismatched trajectories/realities
Blazing stars, memories

The moment froze before
Passing cars, a sliding door

In your proximity, yet so far away from me.

Proximity

(210215)

Catch the last train for the long ride.
Catch my breath, close my eyes
Evening rush
Begins to hush

A winding path, no wrong turns
Escape the gravity of my concerns
Left behind
The city shines

Home 

Feel the rhythm of the rails
Lead along the cosmic trail
Race the moon
Be there soon

Streaking through the cool blue air
You'll all be waiting for me there
The journey ends
Starts again

Home
I'm going home

Home

Square is a piece of minimalist techno composed entirely within GarageBand for iOS, and mainly during short workday commutes on the local subway.  Even though GarageBand has its constraints--no filter sweeps, no effects, no changing track volumes in 2012--I'm pleased with how it came out.  The title and the (public domain) sample come from Edwin Abbot's Victorian-era novel, Flatland, A Romance In Many Dimensions.

Square

(Metro Mix 210220)

Ever have a night so numinous?
Arrested in your sway.
Do you have to look so luminous?
How can you turn away?

When will we meet?
When will we meet again?

Oh, do you love me?
Oh, do you care?
Oh, do you love me?
Oh, do you swear?

You like to be a bit dramatic--
A little insecure
Full of sand, or so pneumatic
I'm so quick with figures

When will we meet?
When will we meet again?

Oh, do you love me?
Oh, do you care?
Oh, do you love me?
Oh, do you swear?

Coalesce

(210220)

Walking side by side
How'd the space between us get so wide
Sing under your breath
Thought I heard you whisper, "nothing's left."

Artificial heart 
Keeping us apart

As you fade from view
Everything takes on a different hue. 
I never liked the blues
You knew me but after I knew you

Artificial heart 
Keeping us apart
Resuscitate, restart
When did you depart?
 
Time to realize at last
These green days have passed

Artificial heart
Keeping us apart
Resuscitate, restart
When did you depart?

Artificial Heart

(210220)

Stopped in my tracks again
I haven’t got a thing to hide
With my fingers tangled in your hair, my tongue is tied

Another time, another space
All the pieces fall in place

Catching your eye again
It’s the only chance that I've got
The video’s still running but I lost the plot

Another time, another space
All the pieces fall in place

Making me work again 
Will I always be the last to know?
I can't take a hint but I know where to go

Another time, another space
All the pieces fall in place

Time/Space

(210215)

Never meant to leave you hanging on 
Waiting til my better angels won

Never meant to leave you on the blades.
Never meant to leave you in the shade. 

CHORUS
I was gonna come to save the day (Don't go back to Aspen)
Aspen seems so far away/Aspen is so very far away
Never gonna let you go away/What can I do to make you stay? (Don't go back to Aspen)
Aspen seems so far away/Aspen is so very far away

Never meant to leave you riding on the edge
Never meant to let you dangle on the ledge

Never meant to leave you in suspense
Never meant to make you hesitant
