Really moody piece...Love the strings......Interesting bell sounds. Cool!

"Composed, Recorded, and Remixed ca. 1968 to August 4, 2015"... hahaha, love that :) !!

A trip across time nicely done up loosely ♥ And thanks for sharing links to all your reference sounds. I should (and will) do that for the comet song of Transistor Sister.

Morton Stevens [1929—1991] was film score composer extraordinaire! He is best known for—and won two Emmy Awards for—the “Hawai’i Five-0” [1968 to 1980] television series.

I idolize him, and remixed one of his tunes that aired on the “Hawai’i Five-0” series, meanwhile adding some instrumentation of synthesizers, drums, and found sounds.

"Cry Little Sister" (radio edit)

Having a play with the ppooll software, using one of my own samples (also recorded in ppooll in a previous session) and messing around with it. An awesome piece of (free!) software I'd highly recommend for anyone into sound experimentation. More details at https://ppooll.klingt.org/

Inspired by Oval, Jan Jelinek and other 90s trailblazers of the "glitch" genre.
Played in ppooll, then slight refinements after the performance, including fuzz guitars added on softly in the background.

I'm loading my laser gun
Aiming at you, cos there's no time to run
Now I got you my sight
It's time for you feel my might

Chorus

Picture me I'm dressed to kill
I even give myself a thrill
don't resist, soon you'll adore me
Amuse myself, until you bore me

Adjusting my power from 1 to 11
Megawatt smile to take you to heaven 
Pulled into an orbit, a shinning star 
Try to escape you'll not get far

Repeat Chorus

Over to you Capt. Aquatic A.K.A. CKP!

My laser's set on stunning 
My tractor beams got you running 
To my rocket ship of loving 
Sonically I got you coming (danger crash zone!)
Around and around and around and around 
Call me the banshee of getting down 
My X-factor makes me fantastic 
The Nightcrawler who is charismatic 
If you prefer we can get aquatic 
The motion of the ocean is hypnotic
Go down in my submarine Explore what's deep and in between 
I'm The King

Picture me I'm dressed to kill
I even give myself a thrill
My gun will fill you with delight
But please don't ask to stay the night 

Space jam time, light the joss sticks :-)

Lyrics:

The Skeleton 
she rests upon 
the bloods Lagoon
Here eyes are waves of dust
blink Sea faring moods
Sits thin among the
wind as it causes her bones to groove like sand...
blows her down the thirsty stream
the arrowheads of ancestors
gleam 
in the slivered 
moons faint steaming
the rain in outer space
burns up bits of her marrow
she bandages with rocks 
along the trails of gypsum guarded by sparrows
her heart it beats it bleeds on
through her timid ribs
you can see the valves
like locamotives trying to
hold onto blood shes got no skin
to keep it all in
if the wind dies down it'll all fall out
for the breeze is holding her into a piece

For my soundcloud family, my first cover, ever.
I was raised in a house where bob dylan was gospel. As crazy as things have gotten as of late in the United States and around the world this song has stuck in my head like a mantra. I hope you can dig the more modern arrangement and I hope to not offend anyone in that way, as some consider this sacred. 
I also paid homage for a few measures to Jimi Hendrix, as he is considered to have the definitive version. I must agree, but I also love Dylan's original, but my generation needs this track as much as any previous, and I imagine that it will be covered from here till the end of time. 
Much love and respect and I hope you can all dig it. 
Recorded August 4th 2016, in Echocosmic studios. All instruments recorded and performed by myself.

"Ladder" [preview] (Juncherre Beatz feat. Michael Ash Sharbaugh)

DARK WAVE | SPACEROCK | VAPORTRAP | TRIP-HOP
AMBIENT | EXPERIMENTAL

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.
