just two tracks...the Steam Pipe synth on the cello,, and an FM Reaktor Synth patch called Metal Harp on the Glockenspiel......just a quick morning composition,    as a sort of sonic consequence of Femi-9-Bind.

 all the way through final mix and the sun still isn't even up yet..

nap time.

That's Normal I Imagine ( My Best Pressed Straitjacket For Tea Time With Twosie )

legend has it, that the dream catchers get over loaded at times, and a tree saucer builder named rulgert appears....ya never know....could be.

the drums on this where really fun, once i got the chops together it just felt really smooth to play, even along with the click track, which is not my speciality of course, but besides the real feel slosh, it's actually a very strange long odd bar meter, and i had to actually "phaze through" the click track.....i was happy to nail it and and turn the darn Tic,tic,tic,tic,Tick..off, and finish the song.

i had it dropped down to 112 BPM to record the drum track then jacked it up o 132 BPM, to finish out.

Dream Releaser

When i first posted this track, it was sort of a quick slap together to secure the tracks name````just getting into the final mix for the EP tracks as of this writing, and totally revamped Click Track Homicide to be the last song on the EP....

the only part that didn't change was the flute part....Battery got yanked off the drums an replaced by the Tremor synth, ( same sequenced performance as before ), and i added two more instrument takes to fill it out.

Click Track Homicide

i get petitions to sign to protect wildlife and habitat all the time in my mail...

and i just recently got a petition to sign, that was to protect the Orca as an endangered species...well i happen to know that the Orca has been ranging further north, due to climate change, and is now competing for food with the Polar Bears, who are also endangered..

and i get these petitions from people that haven't signed mine ?

Ice Shelf

i am starting to feel a little limited by the Maschine Sequencer....i really don't want to Have to get a DAW, so i will probably call that a quick knockout, and just re-track the whole last section so that it has an alternate melody latter, ( no you can't just change the melody in Maschine, you have to track the whole section fresh. ) 

A Senseless So- EP mix

is purgatory nothing, or the point of balance within everything?
likely both, which of course allows for multiple points of view,eh ?

Pergatory ( A Little Elbow Room, Pah - Leazzze )- EP mix

global warming, is actually properly referred to as Climate Change, or Climate Chaos...

the main thing to remember is to visit my FB for pointers, on  legal proceedings, concerning protecting the right to biological parenthood for children of biological parents, by limiting that right to those not currently biological parents...

united states citizens are, of course, obligated by law to sign my petition.

Global Warning ( REMAIN CALM !!!)

Just the Main Motif here.
so got this one slated for re-work, along with pretty much everything else..
on the first go here:
i used NI Spark synth for the Bass, a variation on a detuned monophonic Monark patch for the stabs, and the Kontour synth for the scalar-arp-ish motif....then polished it up with the latter portion improv on the Prizm Synthesizer.

Ruska Roma Cu Phantoma Vorbitor ( He Is Our Boy Too !!! )-EP Mix

Sort of a holiday song in a country with an over-consumption problem, and beyond that, where i also am having difficulty gaining petition signatures, here in the states, for a petition the is illegal to decline signing, certainly so, given the situation, ( see my Rulgert Ghostalker FaceBook for Petition details.)..

so anyway, it's an odd meter with a long title.....sorry.

Breaking The Monkey Chain ( rulgert on the planet of ass holes pretending to be nice )

freakin rudely interrupted by psych ward detention for the last year.....just picking up my tools again and going for a finish on the EP.

this is the title track...i had access to a 88 key weighted board on which i did the rough composition...back in my studio, the final arrangement ended up being just a bit different. i used NI's "The Grandeur" " RC-24 reverb", and " Vari-Comp"

final tweaks done in Izotope's Ozone 7

Same ( title track)

What Might Have Been Is Was What Might Be - EP Mix

we, as musicians, are people that are not just musicians....we work at many different trades and specialties each of us....why bios just focus on the music, is maybe us questioning are we good enough to retire to music yet?....the answer is, with so many musicians, likely not ever......i am older, though a quite seasoned musician, it is something more of social function for me, or simply healthful self expression.

what i do, aside from music, has to take priority...it's like that, music comes last, and first...it's not something you need to prioritize for as much as understanding that it's needs to be....or many times in life there are no answers i guess....so it's just part of it as we go.

expression is a need, being understood is a need, but being a needs focused inventor/ prototyper/fabricator, i also recognize sound as an energy expression of in-efficiency....that is as a wasted energy by product when the intent of function does not involve creating a sonic energy by product.

but if we are going to use sound for communicating the elusive, music is obviously then the means, and the systems we now have access to are refined to a quite admirable degree.

my EP has been collecting dust, as has my bio..

all my tracks are thus far my raw performance note data playing then the synthesis engines, (or occasional sample based instrument ), i mostly run Synths and don't re-sample anything because the synth tweaks are part of the mix to me...( note: some of the tracks, of my tacks, at this point have undergone quantize functions )

of course individual plays here are welcome, and a venue play to a broad audience need only mention it as my work, and in so doing, aligning the play to my promotional intent, concerning the eventual release of the EP.

i am not going to be one of those people that complains if a DJ plays my material if it is bought and paid for in the finished studio master, but i need people to understand that my tracks are here for promotional reason for the finished EP when i am done moving it into it's completed form

sometimes more setbacks than progress...i have suffered for this necessary legal reform for over a decade...i plan  to keep working towards it as best i can.

___________________________________________________

i would like to team up with a female vocalist \ co-compositional \ co-performance partner.

though that would require some practicality of location, and otherwise also a general inclination to a "partner in life" type bond.....marriage is a business contract, and while i feel that would help  focus to common life goals, and so lend the necessary glue in forcing a common vision or dream checks, it's still just as well, a business contract,  and i would need some solid ground to prove itself before i would even consider to ask, in the traditional sense..

in other words, if your interested, take a little time to invest in our friendship,  if things even line up concerning us both, that's  still something that would need to be discovered, as we go..
