Liftoff To Landfall (EP) - Excerpts

Just a little snippet of something I did while sitting on the couch and the wife watching TV. It's me exploring the sounds that will be available on the Ableton Move hardware device. this example was made using Ableton Note (the app) on my phone but the sounds on the Note App and the Move hardware are the same.

Ableton Move Sounds

An example of a demo track done with the Ableton Move.

This is an excerpt from the final live looping jam I performed on my channel for 2024. You can view the entire thing at the link below if you like. It starts as Ambient/Berlin School and moves into a Prog/Electronic Fusion. :) See you in 2025!

Excerpts from The Last Starjammer

"A cave rimmed with fine brick-red dust draws me forward and I find myself floating in a dimly lit cavern. Flickering lights and the wet sounds are made by droplets and glassy creatures...chitinous chimes in the dark."

Recorded live in a single pass with no sequencing. It's just me and the modular into the laptop with some noodling on the midi controller and a good deal of knob twisting on the rack. It was really rather fun.

Spelunk (Semi-Ambient Modular Cave Exploration)

An excerpt from my performance at IDEALAB: Astral Chill...this is a live performance using a couple drone machines, some ambient recordings and about eight synths each used in turn and looped in sixty second intervals.

IDEALab - Astral Chill Excerpt

My friend George wrote this a couple weeks ago for his upcoming wedding and after being recorded by our mutual friend Greg (these are the guys from the shanty-band) they asked me to add a bassline. So this is us playing again. I put a copy here for my Mom. I don't think George will mind. Happy Mother's Day!

George's Recessional

Another practice session from today. This is just a quickly recorded bass and melody, which is then manipulated with timing, repeats and effects. A very simple drum track is used. Just making some bad art to get it out of my system. :)

Every artist has one thousand bad stories inside them hiding the great ones. In order to get to the great ones, you have to bring out the not so great ones. Project 60 is my ongoing attempt to improve through doing, releasing the rough stuff to get to the gems. Each track in Project 60 was written and produced in under 60 minutes. We'll see how long it takes to get to #1000.

Saturday morning and channeling old "Switched On Bach" a bit with some modern synth noises. Or maybe Electric-Light Parade.

Poly(rhythm). There's something to be said for being slightly out of tune.

Project60 - 0010

Cleaned performance from the Boston Modular Synth meet.

Modularity

Sometimes I try to remind myself that I don't always make music with synthesizers. This kind of thing comes out at those times.

This is tentatively celebrating the holiday season for 2017. It'll probably be the basis for something longer and more involved. For now it's light and happy and simple...and simple is what I was shooting for.

Enjoy!

(Secret: it's still all synthesizers.)

Shiny Time - Holidays 2017

The dog and I tend towards long walks and we see a lot of ice in transition. We weren’t sure if the lake was becoming the sky or the reverse. Cold. Pretty. Cracked.

Outside The Box Sketch 1

Experimenting with hardware-only arrangements. Focus on melody and progression. No software instruments were harmed (or used) in the creation of this project. This will appear on the upcoming album in a more complete form. :)

Saturday night quick clip: Frantic arp'ing, running bass-line, squealing lead and no ending whatsoever. 😉

These are organic electronic musical stories. This music has many styles, moods and sources, evolving out of whatever I'm currently thinking about. As you listen, think of your own story that can go with the music. 

The title and description of each piece are just starting points and suggestions, you can take the music into your own world and grow something that moves you personally.
