Best Of

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

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 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 song of me playing alto saxophone, singing with echo pedal, and playing my old Yamaha keyboard in drum mode.

Oxygen

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

By A Thread

Multi-layer improvisation with Korg Radias keyboard and guitar, and TC Helicon Voice Pedal.

Ambivalence

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 song that made me feel cold.  Duet improvisation in one take.  My girl is the one playing the handpan, with me on Korg Radias keyboard.

Ice Cave

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

Parsnip

Somewhere Under The Rain Cloud

It's a shame that some apples die on the branch.  A nice song for a calming walk in the Fall.  I improvised this on a Korg Radias keyboard.

Sweet Melancholy

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.

Resilient

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

Imagine you are in a cathedral, and then suddenly the chamber choir breaks into dubstep...

Chamber Dub

This is the extended part of the end of my first "Nullanon" song.  Just some funky blues, that's all, moderately repetitive.

LYRICS (at the end):
Let there be something new?
No, it's all The Same.

Turbulence Of The Nullanon

LYRICS:
When it's too hard to keep up,
Just getting by,
Pushing that boulder up to the sky,
What would happen if we just let go?
Let go.
Drop the ball.
Let the boulder roll down the mountain into the town.
Why are we holding this burden for them?
What do they know?
Let go.
Sisyphus, let go.

Sisyphus, Let Go

This is a depressing song about a teddy bear that is no longer loved and wants to be thrown in the trash.  I start with some angry metal, then I break into myself singing harmony with myself as alternative rock, then some whistling (it fits, trust me).  Most of this was done on TE OP-1 Field keyboard, with post cleanup in Audacity.

LYRICS:
It's not easy being an inanimate object...
I can't even breathe.

Please tell me if I'm real.
Do I exist?
Why am I here?
Should I be sad?

Where does the time go
While you sit still
Staring at the wall?

I just want to be used
Like a paper towel.
Clean up your mess and discard me.
Throw me in the trash when you're done
Waiting for someone...

I'm all alone.
You forgot that I'm here.
I used to be your favorite object.
Inanimate Object.
Throw me in the trash...

Inanimate Object

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.
