Listening - NEW GENESIS LP : The Jazz Jousters 2nd Anniversary

This is my little sister singing.  It was recorded on a phone.  I wrote this song years before we recorded it.  This recording was performed on my mother's grand piano.  There is a new remastered version available.

Wish I Were A Butterfly

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

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

I wrote this song right after buying polishing supplies to fix a scratched fake marble sink in my old condo.  I was upset but trying to calm down.  This is a multi-layer improvised song with me on Korg Radias keyboard and also using a Kaossilator.

Polishing Supplies

I was trying to make a relaxed dissonant melancholy song, in the style of Erik Satie (think Minecraft).  This was improvised on my Korg Radias and recorded to my BOSS RC 50 Loop Pedal.

"One for Florian" is the second track between Psalm Trees and ALEXANDER, together known as Spirit of Naima. The song, as well as the upcoming album, strays from Chillhop's beat world and steps into modern jazz, full of organic instrumentation and live sounds. This one feels like visiting a record store after sunset, watching the rain hit the window as you dig through crates. The piano and the electric guitar steal the show with this instrumental, while the bass guides us along and the saxophone makes a welcome appearance halfway through. Calm and cool, through and through.

Spirit of Naima - One for Florian

Watch a practice improvisation session of this song from early on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKq913BXT8g

Resilient

I was inspired by Claude Debussy for this song.

Encouraged

I had just composed my song "Resilient", and in the album cover, I had made a tiny little dandelion on the bottom right where it was brighter, the point being the dandelion survives regardless of the crumbling buildings, etc.  And I wanted to get back into some symphonic music.  This is supposed to be the mind of the dandelion.  It is not technically an overture of course.

Dandelion Overture

Some Day My Prints Will Arrive

One of my listeners (Avid from Singapore) said they loved the ending of my "Lost Window" dubstep song, so I expanded on that ending to make a longer version of that ending.

Here's the original improv video for the concept while I was very tired: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HrLpqBfKhI

And here is the dubstep version with the calm part at the end:

Sad Window

So I did actually take some professional music composition classes at the Swift Creek Academy for the Performing Arts in Chesterfield, VA.  But since 2009, my primary music theory teacher is my girl, who introduced me to Holst.

Morning Frost

The image artwork for the album cover and waveform were created in watercolor by Rachel Rodgers, my sister.  This piece is a classical drone/ambient, where I attempt to have a constant lower drone noise behind a high pitched dissonant lead.

The accompanying video with effects is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2eHw1aFOP0

Mr. Moods and Darkside - Strange  Billa Qause Remix

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.
