This track was composed during a study on how fractals and how they can relate to music. While the track itself isn't a demonstrative study, I used what I was learning as inspiration. You'll hear rhythmic acceleration/stretching, lots of delay, lots of reverb, and lots of other composition elements of recursion and the not-quite symmetrical self-similarity of pink-noise. There is also a quasi-randomized melody (brown motion) made from random sweeps of a phaser in the upper 18khz region.

WIP dubstepish tune.
Flute's a bit wonky but the rest is locked in pretty good I reckon.

Played for Intention Alberta 15 Temple Night. Raw dog style. Tunes are all over the place, but they come together for a vibe, just like the lovely people who showed up for the event <3 <3 <3

Temple Night 2023

This track represents a cross-country move, spurred by the oppressive force of a global pandemic. As Montréal - the city I had slowly been rooting in to and getting comfortable calling home - battened its hatches, closed highways, and imposed lockdowns and curfews, I fled west back to Grande Prairie, Alberta where the familiarity of its land and people were a soothing sight for sore eyes. 

The journey starts in my Montréal flat. On the corner of Broadway and Somerled. As pandemic-heightened anxiety and general misophonia forced me to reckon with the thought of ongoing, forced isolation, I sat and investigated many of the sounds of my home, that I had come to resent and
 tolerate due to their essential function - the fridge, the washer & dryer, the creaky floor. The leaky faucet and sliding doors. The 51 bus stop just out my window.

As I packed, this investigation became bittersweet - these sounds I would never hear again as I abandon the place I’d called home for nearly two years.

From the apartment to the arrival at the gate and landing in Alberta with my feet crunching through snow, lend an ear to this audio journal as I embark on the solitary drive from Québec to Alberta, exploring my own voice and its relationship to the stable grumble of the engine, the hum of the tires on the highway and the sound of passing cars whipping by in the other lane. 

Winter’s arrived early in Grande Prairie and my footsteps echo through the bare aspen forest. I’m home.

Space and Time - 2020

I'm clearing out some backlogged tunes that I tell myself I'll keep working on and finish, but when it comes to dialing things in, I can't quite pin down just what's missing.
Lemme know what you think, and what you think might be missing!

This one's a slow-burner.

Train-ing

This WIP is inspired by a tune by Reggy Van Oers & Joachim Spieth. 

You don't see techno in 3/4  very often so it was a nice challenge to hear it done so well from those guys.

Here's my attempt! Enjoy.

Techno in 3

Here's a journey for y'all. Merry 420! Happy Earth Day <3
Started it in rural Ontario, bordering a provincial park. Got lots of time to wander around the forest as it began melting back to life. 
     This mix is a reflection of loneliness, isolation, disconnection from holiness. Through moments of anger, resentment, sadness and neuroticism, there's an underlying faith and a prayer to be welcomed back into the folds of the majestic, divine natural order of life.
   Mix Trivia:
      The 2nd last song on the mix is dedicated to NYC foodbank as a part of covid19 relief. The album that it’s from is made up entirely of samples of hold signals. When I downloaded the album, I noticed it’s size was 420mb (FLAC). 
      Multiple tracks throughout the mix are composed with samples of absence of human sounds, including a pile of field recordings I've been collecting over the years. On my Bandcamp page there are 111 works in my collection, and 220 in my wishlist.
