What do you do when you wake up "this morning" with a set of chords in your head and a line for the chorus that's something like "One Step From Hell"? Record it and ask your super-experienced guitarist friend Rick DiFonzo to add some extra grunge to it. 
Which is what I did. Now who wants to sing it?

One Step From Hell

I think part of being mature is truly feeling the flow of time and realizing how short and fragile life can be. When you see people around you die, or get ill, or even when you yourself are attacked – like when strangers shot rockets at you – it makes you question your own beliefs but also be grateful for what you have.

This serves as a reminder for myself to be bold, brave, and strong. It's a call not to waste time and to cherish what life has to offer.

Maturity

Made in Reason.
The only synth used is Arturias VST of Buchla Easel.
Quite different approach to sound synthesis. I wont use it again...

Winter Songs

Frigid Night Sky

Falling Snowflakes

Let me start with an apology to all french speaking listeners! I don't speak french and just translated English sentences based on French words that rhyme.

The song is a pastiche (French word!) on the New romantic band Visage.
It was the result of testing the new VST plugin “paralogy64” from Full Bucket Music, “           simulating the paraphonic Crumar Trilogy and Stratus keyboards from the early 1980s”.

French voice is provided by https://voicegenerator.io/
It has manually been split and pitch adjusted to resemble a French singer…

As usual, I have used reason and soft synths from Arturia and Cherry Audio.

How About Now

This is audio from part one of my video exploring the new Moog "Drummer From Another Mother" percussion synthesizer; accompanied by the Make Noise 0-Coast. The DFAM is being processed by the Retro Mechanical Labs "Electron Fuzz Custom" module, and both the DFAM and the 0-Coast are further process by the Erica Synths Black Hole DSP. The DFAM is being clocked with varying timing pulses by four channels of the Make Noise TEMPI which is going through a Sputnik Selector Sequential Switch. Modulation on the DFAM and EFC provided by the Xaoc Devices Batumi Quad LFO. The three part video can be viewed here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekBAKnQeKq8

Moog DFAM vs Make Noise 0-Coast

This is a very old (and poor quality) 4-Track cassette demo of a project I had with my girlfriend at the time in 1989. We had some interest from various labels including 4AD and Capitol Records when she up and left me (after 9 years) and took the demo tapes! This was (barely) salvaged from the original cassette master. All songwriting and instruments by me, vocals by an ex.

New tests, sketches and experiments from my film scores and various band projects (under the names of genshi, jido-genshi, Science Patrol, StarDotStar, cell:burn, Seven Summer Eyes, and a few others) as well as an archive of old songs of mine from various decades.
