4-track recording from the mid-90s, probably Beatles-inspired. I couldn't decide which improvised lead take I liked most, so I threw 'em all in together.

A hitchhiker tries to hail a van

Written & recorded by mr oCean, 27 November 2016. Hints of candle-lit polished timber, notes of clove and allspice, light snow falling outside.

The Mint Thinks It's Spring

A sketch for a song I never got around to writing - one of many approaches to try to make an unfinished novel materialise. This was written & recorded as part of the Open Mic Songwriting course run out of University of Canberra.

Longest Night

Longest Night (fragment)

Sometimes the modulated tones of the 1980s are a cozy blanket.

Try for one more year

An upright piano sketch from 9 April 2018. I love piano music where the mechanism is audible. It reminds me of aspects of Jan Švankmajer's "Faust". I know the keys but don't have any training in playing piano, so this is very rough, but I like the stretching, reaching quality to it.

Desert Snows (Reno, 2017-18)

First light in the sky above the wall

things that make my arms evaporate

(I worked out some new music to accompany myself, because flying Eric Eckhart from Berlin to Brisbane for a 7-minute set seemed a bit excessive)

Lines (2019)

Put together way back in 1999, during a half decade of Impulse Tracker addiction. Complete with cheesy hand-claps and keyboard parts I could never hope to play for real. Every sequencer piece I did seemed to have echoes of the music from the Aeon Flux cartoons.
Now that I have discovered Schism Tracker (cross-platform re-implementation of Impulse Tracker), I may just rework this. Or I might not...
