I  feel the relaxation… nice beautiful track!!☺

Catching words with a writer’s block          
And thinking I was somewhere I’m not
Watching people pass me by
The blank page before me to soon come alive

Sitting down change runs through my mind
And a concept evolves that involves you tonight   
You tell me things that I don’t know
Like forget about now cause the moods so low

And anytime you need to say
Words are forever don’t throw them away
Maybe life seems hard and subdue
But then how do I try and tell you

Cause it’s been, so long
Since you first came along  
So take me home
We’ll sit in silence all alone

And it’s been, great these days 
I never wanted you to go away
So why do you stay
With me here on this blank page

A word, a sentence and a paragraph
Are all that now stands between you and the mask
That covers and shades your tear stained eyes
From the shining light that you really supply

Well here I go, I’m writing and
I’m gonna make this claim       
With you to watch over me 
We gonna ride the road to fame 

Any time you need to say
Words are forever don’t throw them away
Maybe I can rescue you 
But then how do you tell me that won’t do

When it’s been, so long
Since you first came along
So take me home
We’ll sit in silence all alone

And it’s been, great these days
I never wanted you to go away
You don’t have to stay
Alone on this on this empty page

Any time you need to say
Songs are forever don’t throw them away
I know I can rescue you
So hold out your hands and I'll carry you

Cause it’s been, so long
Since you first came along
So take me home
There is no silence or alone

And it’s been, great these days
I never want for you to go away
Come on and stay
With me here on this first page

And it’s been, so long
Since you first came along
We’re all alone
Alone in a safety zone

And it’s been, great these days
I never want for you to go away
You’ve rescued me 
From a life on an empty page

(So Long) Rescue Me

(So Long) Rescue Me (Demo)

Plasma Mirror + Ambient + Delay Vol.2

So Sensitively Poised

This is a song that started off as something else entirely different. Originally, it was a noodle that I recorded using a delay pedal. I gave it to Chris Maness, who put a killer bass lines on in. so, I went back and completely reimagined it as an actual song. I thought it sounded kinda swampy, so I thought of the most musical thing I could think of about a swamp. I remember the swarms of gnats that would form different patterns when I'd sing different vibrations at them. Hence, Dance of the Gnats.

Dance of the Gnats (with cgmaness)

Nobody’s Garden

Good for your heart, any time of day or night...

Note: This was a "serial" improv, meaning I improvised the first track I laid down and then improvised the other tracks, one after the other.  Rough recording - just getting my new system together and this was one of the first out of the chute.  Very little, if any editing or effects, EQ, Compression. etc.

Grand Plans

Andre The Giant Has A Posse

Lyrics:

Where are the children
Who played in the playground
They ran away
They have gone

Stuck in the office
Trapped in a factory
For bit of paper
To buy their home

Where is the laughter
I hear only silence
From the moment they learned
They’re just too old

Brotherhood’s over
The promise was broken
For the higher good
As they were told

When they meet on the street
With insecurity
They rather look down
Than say hello

Until they get buried
With nothing but the memory
Down in the ground
All alone

Read your book of life before you find
You’ve missed too many pages
Live before it’s time you realize
You can’t make any changes

Where are the children
Who played in the playground
Long time ago
They have gone

Planetary nature -- Don't kill butterflies (~ ltp)

The Music of Sound...really!!  It's all grist for the mill.  I visualize Sound/Music as colors, shapes and forms rather than notes in a scale.  I look upon each of these pieces as individual environments and/or sculptures in which to spend some time, looking round, feeling the curves, hanging out, exploring... Each composition is based on different elements, structures and rules or lack thereof.  Consequently, each is unique unto itself.  

Blissfully free of genre, everything is fair game:  beats; melodies; disquiet; washes; pulses; broken clichés and memes; subliminals; words and voices; chaos; sonorities; field recordings; indeterminacy; world music; the holy; the gutter; otherworld music; drones; synths; samples, etc. etc.  etc.  

I enjoy entering into the mitochondria of what makes a sound  that particular sound and then genetically change it into something entirely different than what it was - with just the essence lingering.  I also like to explore the "in-betweens" - spaces between beats, frequencies, timbres, spaces, tones, etc. In large part, simply, I'm curious to explore it all.  Suffice it to say, the wider your aperture the more you will hear and experience.  Et voila!

Oh!  Headphones will likely provide a more fulsome listening experience for many of the pieces.
