Playing with ideas for my performance on Monday. We'll see what happens. :)

Niche One

Created in a couple hours under the blood moon of October 8th, 2014.

Bloodmoon

part of 'my heart goes out to you.'
available for free at ruhe.bandcamp.com/album/my-heart-goes-out-to-you

for lauren, my dearest.

a rough rehearsal, 
an old and worn lullaby. 
a distaste for distance, 
and a hope for healing.

Distance

Nils Frahm - Screws, featuring remixes from several spectacular artists. Available from Erased Tapes! 
http://www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP079

There's a bit of a story behind these tracks... 
Dreams and gifts and tapes and piano... 
Created as gifts for Nils Frahm and given to him in Portland on September 30th, 2012.

No computers were used when creating these remixes - 
the computer was solely used to record these digital tracks from the master tape. 
Hope you enjoy them. :)
