Everything

Improvised multi-layer using Korg Radias and Kaossilator.  Imagine trying to balance a bunch of chairs on a frozen lake...

Stable

No whales were harmed in the creation of this song.  They are not real whale sounds, sorry.  Improvised guitar and old Yamaha keyboard through an effects pedal.  Whale sounds were keyboard in portamento through the effects pedal.

Sad Whales

Improvised song on my old Yamaha keyboard through a guitar effects pedal.  The coolest part of this song is the unintentional recorded feedback matched up with what I was playing.

Standard

Multi-layer improvised song on Korg Radias keyboard with some quality portamento.

Octal 73

Waveform artwork is a section from one of my acrylic paintings I made when I taught a paint night at my house.  I composed the basis for this song on my phone while my girl went into a haunted house and I was scared so I waited outside, hence the name of the song.  I went back over this song multiple times with Korg Radias later, and also with Kaossilator to add effects.

Haunted Wait

Collaboration project between Bismuth Sky and NOSTRUMUVA.  If you put a neodymium magnet between two bismuth ingots and then put another large magnet above that, you can get the small magnet to float because bismuth is diamagnetic.  Bismuth Sky provided the bass track and I improvised Akai EWI4000s over top of that and ran it through audacity to provide more of a drone ethereal sound.

Diamagnetic

Improvised Korg Radias keyboard, then I went back and improvised chromatic harmonica over top of it with an echo pedal.

By A Thread

This is the song I made when I was very angry after I found out somehow the fake marble sink in the upstairs bathroom had this giant scratch in it from something, and I had no clue how to fix a plastic sink scratch.  Later, I learned you can polish it out.  This song was completely improvised on a Korg Radias and Kaossilator, and some of me screaming into the microphone at the beginning.

Scratched Sink

I worked on this song between polishing the fake marble sink to fix a deep scratch that was on it.  This is a multi-layer improvised recording, all layers just me on a Korg Radias keyboard piped through a guitar effects pedal.

Polishing The Sink

This song was made on a BOSS RC 50 Loop Pedal, with all memory placed on one track, then I improvised multiple layers using Korg Radias organ.

Selective Organ Reuptake Inhibitor

Algorithmic live improvised song in Haskell programming language in Tidal Cycles.  Watch me do it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFTjR467f1o&list=PLvy_KXTNqcQeCK6_NNdtkBSxG_oWeuYEb&index=8

Liquid Sand

Algorithmic live improvised song in Haskell programming language in Tidal Cycles, that I later ran through audacity and clipped out some parts where I messed up.

Sand Whales

My attempt at making a radioactive song :)

This is a live improvised algorithmic coding performance in Tidal Cycles.

Geiger Counter

This is an algorithmic live improvisation intended to drone.

Moonlight Algorithm

Specifically, imagine the Rock Biter in The NeverEnding Story trying to hold on to his friends as the Nothing takes them away.

"They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were."

My little sister and I often joked about getting "weak hand syndrome" (WHS) when we were oxygen-deprived from laughing too much.

Weak Hands

Nulla apparet ratio.
Si causa est, non invenimus.

Translation:
There is no apparent reason.
If there is a reason, we have not found it.

This girl tried to believe in a purpose, but she encountered too much pain and no longer believes in justice.

Non Invenimus

There is a mystical place in the ocean, and if you jump in with your eyes closed, then you become the leader of a bunch of deep sea creatures that worship you, promise.

Guider Of The Deep

I decided to write this song based on waiting to get my car inspected for 3 hours on a Saturday.  TE OP-1 keyboard, lots of Audacity filters, overall echo, perfect stretch fade out at the end.

Waiting Room

So this is an avant-garde dubstep song.  I began with TEOP1 and intentionally tried to be slightly offbeat and a bit random and to drag it out, then get it all to come together and pull out a primary melody with an electronic lead ("dimension" instrument on TEOP1) with a few piano sections ("pianistic" instrument on TEOP-1) and add in dub bass.  I went through 2 cycles of adding it to the 4-track on TEOP1, copying it out from COM to laptop, filtering in Audacity, copied it back, added more layers, then back to laptop again.  Normalized to -14dB with -1dB soft limit.  This song represents how I felt in the middle of the night at 3am while soldering random circuits for a supercapacitor experiment I was doing, and likely breathing in too much of the lead solder fumes.

Late Night Garage Experiments

Ambient soundscape of being inside of a heart.  TEOP1 keyboard with multiple really low modulated wumps, then a few lead layers mostly triplets of dissonant 2nds and 7ths, intentionally with no rhythm.  Then simple Audacity cleanup to -14dB normalization and -1dB soft limit.

Inside The Heart

I'm going to start doing some live looping performances on TEOP1 so this is a random practice session that is kind of Jam Band / Scat / Funk.  There is a 4-track on the TEOP1, so I can start out with drums or scat and then hit a key to end the loop, then just keep playing live and kind of overdub onto the other 3 tracks, and then also add in breaks by holding on one of the tracks while playing a B section.  I just live improvised the bass loop and then improvised the organ and keys as I went.  Random mood today, sorry to my dubstep and ambient fans :) This one is weird.

Bow Meow

Attentive

Some basic ambient jamming out on Tidal Cycles with simultaneous TEOP1 keyboard at the same time.  If you want to watch me code in Haskell and play the keyboard at the same time, watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g_n5ztNvvk

Multitasking

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.
