a recording made some time ago on the phone while I was getting acquainted with the little hank drum I just bought. it's not the best as a base resolution, but I have processed the sound to make it as clean as possible ... in this track the whole sequence is intermittently and simultaneously played at multiple speeds. it is very relaxing .. in the past I had already touched upon certain atmospheres that this magical instrument can create, but in this case I have reached further depth. with this new way of treating the sound I am sure there will be other pleasant discoveries.

SONG 119 - NaviarHaiku609 - Revealing in the Dark

Disquiet Junto 0716 challenged all of us to record a song for our band, Dense Fog Advisory.

This prompt really took me back— I actually did my Masters thesis on the DFA. I was fascinated with the story of how these two musicians from opposite sides of the planet, who never even knew each other's real names, could collaborate so closely, so intimately. Over the two years I spent among them, I learned what it is to play, what it is to work, and what it takes to recycle chloroflourocarbons at home. But most importantly, they taught me how to listen. ("Listen, Coraline," they said to me over and over.)

Anyway, I dug through my archives and found this dusty old mp3, an early version of one of my favorite deep cuts: "The Berners Street Hoax". What a great memory! One for fans of Dense Fog Advisory old and new.

Features Moog Minitaur, Roland/Studio Electronics SE-02, live guitar, and programmed drums.

The Berners Street Hoax (disquiet0716)

A sonic journey woven with the eternal sands and the breath of the Nile. This piece recalls ancient Egypt, a land of mystery and power, where life and death were bound by the invisible thread of the soul. “Ba Merut” – Soul of Love – becomes a call to inner purity: for among pyramids, stars, and endless deserts, what truly remains immortal is the power to cherish and to give love.

Ba Merut

I love listening to music. I love making music 

I love technology, but only as a means to an end when it comes to music making. 

I'm after music that has life not music that is perfectly constructed
