Everything

Ambient soundscape with lead soft glockenspiel on TEOP1.

Expected

Attentive

Godless

TEOP1 Field Keyboard and Korg Kaossilator, lots of Audacity post filters.

Halibut

I began writing this piece for minimalist organ with the intention of having multiple overlapping sections, but then I got bored and added some funk.  When I got to editing in Audacity, I added a "Paul Stretch" to a section which is the thing that makes it sometimes sound like it's "underwater", but this time it sounded like an airplane, so I got obsessed with that noise and put it all over the track in different forms and made that the general theme.

Well Clear ADSB

An intimate and haunting piece confronting the violence of war against the defenseless. Echoing synth textures shape the verses with fragile delicacy, while a burst of British-rock energy ignites the chorus. It’s a song of loss, fear, and the desperate search for a father’s voice — a plea for love amid the flames.

Search through the fire

We drive through the night
Headlights flashing by
Your hand in mine
Two hearts aligned 
The city’s asleep but our minds are wide
Dreaming of escape
No plans we’d trade 
We’re chasing the stars burning out so fast
Against the ticking clock
But we can’t be stopped
The radio plays our favorite song again
We sing along aloud
No fears allowed 
You smile at me and the world fades out 
The weight we carry
Feels light and airy 
We talk about life about all we’ve seen 
The good, the bad 
And dreams we had 
The stars shine bright and we’re still on the road.
The future hums
Excitement breathes
The morning creeps in but we’re still on the road 
Your tired eyes gleam
I look, I know what you mean
The world is wide open

Falling Stars

Started out with organ with some oscillating dissonance chords to build tension.  Then I switch into a minimalist bell/piano arpeggiation for a while, which slowly builds into trance, and then into some more heavy dub trance.  There's a melody lead with a phase pad throughout the entire song, and I also added some heavier bells that do some fifth step ups and octave steps as a regular theme.  I fade out with what sounds like a dulcimer.  This is all TEOP1 Field keyboard though as usual, no analog instruments.  Some reverb added in audacity, -14dB normalization, -1dB soft limit. Enjoy your fall everyone! Crunch some leaves!

Leaf Storm

Suspense

Verse 1
Dawn breaks, long night
About to give up the fight
Hollow point, a big bang 
On the day you were born, the angels sang

Verse 2
Peace on earth, good will toward man
Your feet are sinking in the sand 
One more piece of bad advice
In this era of madness, you’ll pay the price

Chorus
Isn’t it a shame
Caught up in the game
No empathy or pain
Just driving us insane

To me, you are the king
I’ll bend a knee, I’ll kiss the ring
I’ll tell you what you want to hear
I’ll dissolve all of your sorrow, all of your fear 

Chorus
Isn’t it a shame
Caught up in the game
No empathy or pain
Just driving us insane

a father’s wail, a mother’s cry
no good reasons as to why 
Hollow point, a big bang 
On the day you were born, the angels sang

Chorus
Isn’t it a shame
Caught up in the game
No empathy or pain
Just driving us insane

A Shame

Collaboration between Brendan Dempsey (Bass Guitar) and NOSTRUMUVA (TEOP1, Soda Can, Tibetan Singing Bowl).

Occult Devotion

Chasin' The Goat!

A winter track to freeze yourself with.  All TEOP1 again and then some large room reverb in audacity.

Ice Notes

Frames

For reasons unknown but time will tell...
Multi-instrumentalist, all types of music, all types of methods.
Occasional collaborations with other artists.
Sometimes I post the sheet music if it's piano.
Lately, my favorite instrument is a TE OP-1 Field keyboard.
