I like to consider my style to be unorthodox WTF Genre defying. Each song is a part of me. I hope you will listen like and comment. I appreciate you.

Pop and Ambient/Instrumental works.

I'm a home studio composer/songwriter/musician with poor self-marketing skills and no allegiance to a style/scene. In an earlier age, I played live music (guitar, bass, vocals) with various originals bands... but I've always been much more interested in writing+recording (or jamming with talented musicians) than playing for an audience.

I'd describe the majority of my vocal music as pop (in various subgenres) with interesting lyrics, mostly performed by myself with a few instruments+microphones and some software. I also have quite a few instrumentals (adapted chamber music, soundtrack etc) that I'll be posting.

Occasionally, I also play bass in a band that plays some of my songs, as well as a lot of Grateful Dead: https://soundcloud.com/savage-gulf

Thank you for listening, and I hope you enjoy it! Play away, and leave a comment to start a discussion; likes and reposts are also appreciated :-)

Solo project using GarageBand on an iPhone 6 plus. 

I use a Schecter Electric Guitar with an iRig mobile, and a pair of iPhone stock headphones to record vocals.  Some tracks use an acoustic guitar miked with the iPhone headphones.  Many tracks are recorded in a pickup truck.  I have used hand tools as percussion instruments and I have been known to record vocals while driving. 

For the most part these are recorded in one take per instrument - lyrics are only written down AFTER the song is "done".  The lyrics are fantastical and improvised, often recorded in a car.  This is rock and roll fantasy escapism for me. 

I used to play drums in several bands but have always messed around with any instrument I can get my hands on.  No formal training in any of this.

So enjoy! Don't take them too seriously, and use your imagination!

As for the art work, I have been using images of outer space from https://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinmgill/ under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ and Fraenk Darko does the artwork for all of the collaborations we do.
Most everything else is created by me, but I give credit to others in the track descriptions in a few cases.

Almost all tracks are free to download and covered by a Creative Commons license. Collaborations / Remixes are welcome so feel free to experiment - no need to get my permission first. Just send me a link to your track when you're done :)

I love listening to & creating ambient, dark ambient, avant-garde & experimental electronica (and the occasional beatscape). I have no professional aspirations  - I just really like creating music / manipulating sounds. It's my way of relaxing after a hard day at the office. All my tracks are produced using monitoring headphones (Audix A140) so I recommend that you listen to my music through headphones. My DAW of choice is FL Studio. I also use Reason every now & then. 


To the artists I follow; I do my best to try to listen to as many of your tracks as possible each night (I listen to each track all the way through - you went through the effort to create a track so you deserve to have it heard in full). If I miss a recent upload of yours, please forgive me...

Thank you for taking the time to visit my little corner of the soundcloud.

Music for me is a hobby that is somewhat related to my participation in the development of acoustic systems Hi-Fi and High-End, as well as the study of harmonic properties of audio signals. I use modular synthesizers and keyboards, both real and software. Prefer DAW - Logic Pro, Cubase; Acoustic guitars: Sigma & Takamine; e-guitars: Telecaster & Flying V.

All songs written, recorded and mixed at my home studio on Long Island. Some are part of a song cycle about a meteor full of eyes that crashes to earth. Not all though. 

If you dig them let me know!

Support all styles and genres of music.

My dreams are lucid, life-like and often filled with music. Sometimes, when I wake, I can remember the music from my dreams and try to recreate some of it.
I love to collaborate on music so feel free to use my collab tracks—as long as you credit me in your title and description and send me a link—DM me with ideas or requests.

We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.
