A collection of ambient pieces, each recorded to 8 track tape and then sent directly to stereo master cassettes, where they were uploaded without any additional processing.  There will be lots of tape hiss.

An Analog Ambient Aggregation

A simple ambient piece, with an ebbing and flowing foundation of a Jupiter 8 slow LFO suspended 9 chord through a Dimension D and Stereo Phaser.  I manually open and close the filter on the Oberheim FVS1, switching up octaves toward the end.  I throw in some Yamaha CS60 for good measure as a nice vocal string frequency range.  All of these signals are then processed through a Lexicon 224 with dimed out settings, and a fast timed RE-201 Space Echo.  Recorded on reel to reel Tascam 388 and uploaded for your enjoyment.

Morning Light

The Synthi A, pulsing oscillator envelope, accompanied by the Prophet 5 rev 2. As always, recorded to tape on the 388.

Purring Circuits of the Ancient Electric Beast

Performed entirely on the Oberheim Four Voice Synthesizer, recorded to 1/4" tape on a Tascam 388 and then mastered to cassette on a Tascam 122 MkII.

"Old Voltage" - A piece for the Oberheim Four Voice Synthesizer

A generative music piece based on several algorithmically interpreted schemas, featuring the Oberheim OB-8, the Jupiter-8, and the Prophet 5.

Electric Things Have Their Life, Too...Paltry As Those Lives Are

A simple modal piece using only a Yamaha CS-80.

The Freedom To Do Everything Is a Tyranny (a CS-80 solo piece)

An artificial intelligence based algorithm performs generative music on the Yamaha CS-80.  It admittedly sounds like a cat aimlessly walking across the keyboard.

I Have No Hands, And I Must Play, parts 1 & 2(a generative music piece for CS-80)

A hazy pad from the Oberheim OB-8 flows beneath blinking Prophet 5 and Jupiter-8 electric piano imitations, washed out in Lexicon 224 endless hall reverb and RE-501 chorus echoes.

These Fragments I Have Shored Against My Ruins

An Oberheim OB-8 chordal pad loop, slowed to half speed, drowned in reverb from the Lexicon 224.

A Religion Of Solitude

A breathing, ebbing and flowing Jupiter 8 chord pad floating in a sea of reverb, accompanied by a DX7 doing its very best piano imitation.
