Have you ever put on a blindfold and steeled yourself to walk slowly, but bravely into the field, just trusting your feet to find a way, letting your ears and the breeze guide you, pulling you onward into dark, unforeseen and awesome landscapes, where you stumble into soft moss beds, and crawl like a bug through dense undergrowth, wriggling amidst mud and mushrooms.? Yes? Then you might like this music.

Zjibombom Vs. Mojud

My sisters had a proxy war when they were little. They invented monsters to scare each other. Barrie (the elder) told Eva that Zjibombom would get her if she crossed through the living room, which terrified Eva, until she invented Mojud for vengeance.

The music was made from a solo piano improvisation recorded 1/8/23, and edited to bring out the monsters.

Zjibombom

dude!.....
a sticky-icky morsel made for chillin on 4/20.
cheers!
plus, it's duration is 4:20, which is 13 seconds shorter than John Cage's famous silent masterpiece.
peace sign, out.

DT9.5 quack

a jazz piano solo (original arrangement)  of a love song composed by Irwin Stahl to his bride Nancy. He performed it at their wedding in Garrison, NY. For three lustra(a lustrum is 5 yrs) I have been itching to make my own version of it, and after listening to a ton of Errol Garner, this is what came out. 
I dedicate this version as a valentine to lost loves.

Joel the Mole is a NY based composer , film-maker, and artist. He makes music for his own selfish delights, but hopes you enjoy it too.
Joel is compelled to make music of frequent change, so if you like a steady groove, you may not be so happy here. He collaborates nicely, usually with friends like the amazing Carlos Vivanco (Like Wow, Decibel, Andromeda Crash),
mega-bassist Keith Macksoud (Present),
David Bond Engelhard on benevolent battery, 
double bassist John Convertino, and sometimes with fellow Westchester Conservatory alumnus Matt Lamborn on guitars. 
Joel plays guitars, piano, keyboards, the "arachnid bass", and other toys. The music is often radicalized during his editing process.
Some of the scores are 'performed' by software.
