Twelve Nights

remake of a 6 month old track, from a 6 year old mandolin riff I voice memo recorded on my hilariously old flip phone and randomly found/ remembered

Remember Montag

Keys*

same chords as "Keys*", but different rhythm and a melody 

Et Cetera

6 year old mandolin riff, new ideas and rhythms 

Forward

“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair” 
― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

Location

Searching.

One Times One

Sides

played zero instruments on this track, arranged samples only

Lifted

sliced up and sampled "Imagine" for an hour today.  I feel it reflects the confusion and dark undertones of today's society vs 1960's vision of change ... "I'm not the only one..."  there are more of us than ever, but change is still elusive.  stay imaginative. 

RE: Imagine

took the opening chords from Egmont Overture and rearranged them in reverse order, added some drums, a few other parts and lots of effects.

Sostenuto, ma non troppo

arranged and layered three different Fantastic Voyage soundtrack pieces over themselves with effects and whatnot.

Circuits

I was working on this track, accidentally deleted all my saved loops, and after two days was able to remember/rewrite enough of this that I like it again

Plus & Minus

I wrote this 17 years ago on my first piano, when I was 16 (the first part at least)... instantly takes me back to my Mom's living room, the house we lived in and times we forget.  good to remember...  

Circles

17 beats= 123 123 123 123 12 123  ... strange meter, took me a minute to understand.  Nice to find a groove that I didn't know existed =) 

XVII

Analog loop sound collages I made in 2006, I lost the recordings but found them recently while moving. Produced on an old Roland sampler from Ravi Shankar and William Ackerman CD's, I played the sampler like a keyboard straight into a a recording CD burner, and that was the track.  This is 6 tracks digitally stitched together after 10+ years of mysteriously vanishing...

Decade Of Dust

Solo instrumental mandolin/guitar/piano based loop music, from the heart~

PLEASE COMMENT. . .
