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

All The Colors Of My Dreams 1

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

Lyrics: 

Cherry blossoms 
All around town 
I need your love and I need it right now 
Let’s go for a skate we can slide all around 
You running thru my head going round and round 
I think I got something that you can’t see 
Look in the mirror see your so lovely 
Before I met you girl I was so lonely
I been through it before so girl don’t break me 

I keep a 4 5 just got the ghost 
You got me going crazy 
I’m doing the most 
Think you really stole my heart IDK where to go 
I wanna be with you it don’t matter how far 
I don’t even go outside 
Only if i’m with you 
I can grab the moon for you and put it by you 
Maybe sit and watch the stars in the drop top coupe 
Maybe hold your hand girl it’s just me and you 

I don’t care about these H***
They steady tryna slide but i’m ducking love smoke 
I’m tryna be with you and I hope you understand 
Just cause I got attention don’t mean I’m a fan 
Swear I really make time and it’s all for you 
I’m tryna get through cause im all for you 
Your Friends call me crazy saying that I’m not true 
Ima be there when you need me cause I love you 

I needed you can’t be hopeless 
Needed you I’m so cautious 
Don’t wanna break down when I hold you 
My heart falls down into pieces

LIVE @ House of Yes - EARTH NIGHT '22 [April 23rd, 2022]

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)

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

Born Sinner

Molly Donovan, assistant curator of modern and contemporary art, National Gallery of Art. A month after the dedication of the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden on May 23, 1999, Molly Donovan discusses the grandeur and significance of its two components: the garden and the sculptures. In this lecture recorded on June 27, 1999, Donovan shares the history of the 6.1-acre space, from Major Pierre Charles L'Enfant's 1791 plan for Washington, DC, up to its 20th-century realization as the Gallery's Sculpture Garden. On April 22, 1791, while touring the grounds of the Potomac Valley, L'Enfant stated that "nothing can be more admirably adapted for the purpose [for the federal city]; nature has done much for it, and with the aid of art it will become the wonder of the world." L'Enfant's plan for a public, landscaped garden- originally known as L'Enfant Square- was based on the grounds at the Palace of Versailles outside Paris, France. A refuge from the linear expanse of the National Mall, the Gallery's Sculpture Garden features meandering paths, a fountain, and contemporary art. In this way, two hundred years later, the National Gallery of Art and Laurie D. Olin of Olin Partnership, the garden's architect, achieved L'Enfant's original vision of showcasing both natural beauty and artistic achievement.
