Hampi Campers

Crisp autumn air and perhaps a view of Fujisan as you drive to Hakone it's the middle of the night or you would have taken Odakyu line. Hunting maple leaves and finding oneself lost in sulphur fumes.

Hakone Skyline Drive

Bassoon, bent piano, disgusting-overdriven-dubstep-synthbass and stuff pulled from my kid's Nintendo DS make this the perfect track for anyone who loves overindulgent audio prophecy.
Eat this and live.

Dubstep Doxology

My Kung-Fu is the crack you smoke, morning, noon and night.
My Kung-Fu is so legit, it keeps the nations tight.
Don't stop to compromise the dreams you try to hide.
Just climb on board my magic, Kung-Fu unicorn ride.



Thanksgiving

Explode something good, like your mind with this song.
"Left of the Boom" is being in the eye of the storm, the right place at the right time in a world gone nuts.


Left of the BOOM

El Rajio Del Cristo

Regurgitated vocal tracking baked into a special treat that's funky-fresh and fun to eat!

More wackiness with iTunes and my beat-box.

The only track in town with a punching-arm-snowman-candy-dispenser which says "ho ho ho" and more cool funk than your trunk can carry without  serious damage.

"Lost Umbrellas" was (is?) an art installation I did in collaboration with artist, Brieley Holbrook.
It is about the thoughts, emotions and lives of lost umbrellas as they explore their existence in Japan.  As the sound designer for the project I did a lot of field-tracking: rice paddys and the river near my home, walking in the rain, train stations and pachinko parlours along with various other locations where one usually encounters lost umbrellas.  This ambient piece is a mix of five distinct tracks (Nagoe, Edo, Pachinko, Enka and Drips) which all emanate from four beautiful, mysterious umbrellas- each with it's own internal glow...  Relax in a dark room and set this track to loop and I am sure you'll have an interesting experience.  Pray for Japan.

"Omiyage" is a souvenir or small gift, usually given by someone who has brought it back from their travels.  God blesses everyone with rain, good and bad alike.  I did this brief track as sound for a media project here.  Keep praying for Japan.

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.


Revelation 19:7

I AM a stumbling salt lick in a strange and dirty land.  If you want a stupid beat that gets all jungle and glitched, and, some lame bass that might blow your woofers come-n-git-it.  Oh yeah, there are sheep and goats in there, too- just like here!  Choose one or the other...

"Hanafubuki" (hana-who-boo-key) occurs when the wind blows cherry blossoms from the trees making it look like it is snowing.  Life is short and what is beautiful is frequently interrupted.  This song is my artistic response to the overwhelming tragedy here in Japan.  While this nation grieves stoically, working to repair and clean up and get back to the business of living, there is ongoing tension over radiation and aftershocks, and, more tsunami.  As an "outsider" living here, my heart goes out to my neighbors and the nation.   My prayer is that Japan would discover the source of eternal beauty, that which never fades or withers...

Hanafubuki

He carried our sickness and disease in his body on the tree and by his stripes we are healed.

Twinkle, twinkle little eye, how I wonder what we shall be-
Twinkle, twinkle little eye-

Death is swallowed up in victory.

Q. What is there to do when you live in paradise?
A. Produce Apocalyptic-Post-Electronica



Now I Live in Los Angeles

 I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell. I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. 

Vision and Thorn

Tokyo, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Helsinki.  Heat and castles.  Sickness and joy.  Driving home with jetlag,  eating mole chicken.  Shopping at Trader Joe's.  Max learning to swim.    This track is about my Summer vacation in 2010.  Now that I'm back home in Japan I am wondering where home is and what it ("home") even means.

Flying Home

A peaceful soundscape for meditation and relaxation.
