Easy Listening

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

I played every single instrument separately completely improvised, combined onto a single track on my BOSS RC 50 Loop Pedal.  EWI4000s, old Yamaha keyboard, guitar.

Every Friday

Bishop Berkeley was this dude in Ireland that came up with Solipsism, which is complete junk unfalsifiable philosophy that claims everything just exists in your own mind.  He experimented with Pine Tar a lot and died of paralytic stroke, likely due to ingesting the Pine Tar (my guess).  What's funny is when he died, we kept existing, so we must not have been a figment of his mind.  Multi-layer improvisation (improvised train of thought lyrics), harmonica, old Yamaha keyboard, shaker egg, clay whistle.

Bishop Berkeley Died

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

Multi-layer improvised song with me playing my old Yamaha keyboard, guitar, and Akai EWI4000s.

Latin Kitty

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

Multi-layer improvised, me playing Korg Radias keyboard (mostly as drums), me playing Akai EWI4000s in Flute mode, and me playing alto Saxophone.

Magnesium

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

By A Thread

This song is about my cat, who does not have object permanence.  It's a multi-layer improvisation with some planned lyrics added.

The Witter Knows

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

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 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

Ok, so you see these clouds?
Imagine them slowly descending into the ocean below.
That's all you need to think of.

Clouds Falling Down

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.
