Zebra Cakes

This is a tribute to my cat's nightly hunting. It's meant to reflect the terror that this sweet Maine Coon brings to the wildlife outside our backdoor.

This track features many of the instruments I've been playing lately, and gave me a chance to fuse elements I love but don't often hear together. 

Acoustic instruments and electronic. East and West.
Classical guitar and heavy Telecaster.
808 beats and south India-influenced rhythm.
Dx7 FM synths and real bells.

Derecho - Live Moog Jam 2022.08.28

Gritty electronic music conceived on a Moog semi-modular system. This tune is lead by a powerful bass synth, adorned with many tracks of guitar and 80's analog synths. 

The outro features the original live jam, which spawned the entire track.
