In the spring Lemon Creek comes down the mountain with fierce, roaring white-water energy. But in July, when this was recorded, it meanders leisurely through pebbles and rocks, whirling and burbling, trickling and whispering. Take a moment and listen. Slow down. Breathe. There is magic in listening.

A Calm Moment - Walking along Lemon Creek

A short piece composed with Gareth McCarthy on homemade bowed electric monochord and electronics.

Gypsy Chronicles 4 Retour aux sources

Hi All, I've been returning to my roots recently, writing a series of tracks that serve as the soundtrack to an imagined archetypal Role-Playing Game (RPG) for computers or consoles.  This movement of the piece broadly follows a narrative in which the player's avatar (the Hero) in the game enters a shrouded fog-where shadows take corporeal form.  After encountering the shadows and attempting to relay a message, they attack and the hero battles them to a stalemate. As they tend their wounds, a dialog between the wary hero and the misunderstood shadows ensues.

All instrumentation used in this piece was created by Orchestral Tools, one of my favourite sample library studios and publishers.  I particularly enjoyed using their solo string "First Chairs" library for the string sounds, and the brass and choir from the Metropolis Ark 1 epic orchestral library that OT released recently.

Comments and feedback are welcome :)

Where The Shadows Dwell

A second Call, A Suite for Ten Habitable Planets n.2
http://js-horseman.bandcamp.com/album/a-suite-for-ten-habitable-planets

Initially inspired from NASA’s 2017 discovery of 7 possibly habitable Earth-size planets, the composing of "A Suite for Ten Habitable Planets" began that year and reached its completion in May 2019.  Playing with a broken radio receiver and shoebox tape recorder sparked the fantastical desire to transform into a radio wave to escape from a current physical state.
A Suite for Ten Habitable Planets, a series of ten sculptural dissociative airs assigns symphonic characteristics to various experimental microphone recordings, fractured liturgies, the human voice, analog synthesizer, the noise spectrum (blue, white, pink, brown) and percussive bursts from a broken radio receiver. The original layers of recorded material were patiently reformed and glued together through processes of recording and re-recording with tape, lathe cut vinyl and digital manipulations (three distinctly different sonic worlds) which slowly transformed them into subtly rhythmic, densely colorful, and textural habitats.
