Calm

Avant-garde jazz tune played on Akai EWI4000s electronic woodwind instrument, completely improvised, multi-layer with guitar and Yamaha keyboard as drums.

Actualization

This is my original Lightningbug Night song from like 2006.  I was reminiscing of being a kid catching lightningbugs outside and putting them in jars (and letting them go later).  Multi-layer improvisation on old Yamaha keyboard and EWI4000s and guitar.

Lightningbug Night

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

Stable

Improvisation multi-layer old Yamaha keyboard.

Second Soul

This song is about camping and worrying about gas prices.  The lyrics are completely improvised, and I added in some weird cat noises.  Multi-layer improvisation with Yamaha keyboard, guitar, and vocals through an echo pedal.

Gas Prices

Pick up your clothes off the floor.  Multi-layer improvised song with me playing harmonica and keyboard.  My girl improvised on alto saxophone.

Purple Shorts

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 a song I planned out some, not improvised.  The only instrument used is my Korg Radias keyboard, and I modulated my own voice with the Korg Vocoder that is built into the keyboard.

Watch It Rain

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 wrote this song after I finally finished fixing the scratched sink in my old condo.  Improvised song with Korg Radias keyboard.

White Rouge

This is my improvised multi-layer performance using Korg Radias keyboard alone.  All effects, including the cricket sounds, were from the keyboard.

Island Embers

This piece was a collaborative duet composed and performed by myself and my little sister.  I played the upper register.

Setting Sun

Completely improvised song on Korg Radias keyboard, with multiple overdubbed improvisations.

Parsnip

This is an algorithmic live improvisation intended to drone.

Moonlight Algorithm

This was a first time collaboration.  I started with Shawnee's solo improvisation, and then I overdubbed my own improvised organ on top of it.

Et Tu Etude

Somewhere Under The Rain Cloud

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.

Regular Day

This is the first song of my "Nullanon" series, which kind of correlates to a depression section of my life.  Little bit of funk at the end.  If you like the funk there is an extended version of that called "Turbulence Of The Nullanon".  The Nullanon is an anthropomorphized nothingness.

LYRICS:
Behold unto, O gentle love,
The nothing, Nullanon.
'Tis said on many scroll
He knows neither fate, nor reason.
Shall his will be evident?
His image sung through gifted tongue,
(Shall his will be evident?)
A voided hope and without shame,
(Shall his will be evident?)
Regardless of his coming seen,
Bring us to thy empty shell,
Shall his will be evident?
To others, an evil anathema,
Nay man is he, nor solid Earth.
Apathia, athambia, aphasia.
Man is but self-serving.
In hobo form, or merchant storm,
A wanderer o'er land and sea,
O Nullanon, join him now,
All nightmares expound from thee.

The Nullanon

I was inspired by Claude Debussy for this song.

Encouraged

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.
