Dream Box

The Waves Are Not The Ocean

Here's a latin jazz hard bop classic made famous in 1965 by pianist Horace Silver.  Horace's music was heavily influenced by the blues, and this tune was further influenced by a trip he took to Brasil.    I recorded this all on keyboards, and would like to dedicate this to my father, to whom I owe so much, and who passed away last year.  I took this photo from the top of the John Hancock building in Chicago, the city where he made his home and career.

Thanks as always for your time listening, your comments and your shares.

Song For My Father - Horace Silver

Daddy's Trip To Brazil

Daddy's Trip to Brazil

The first breath of light. A tender soundscape of pastel colors, calm reflection, and quiet anticipation.
This piece gently invites the listener into a new beginning.

Dawn Awakening

[Verse]
I am the kind of person who ends up living alone
And I am the kind of person who buys a second phone
And I am the kind of person who doesn't pick up the phone
And I am the kind of person who has to be alone

[Verse 2]
All gone to the movies
I don't wanna watch TV
I'd rather be sleeping
Sleepin' all day

[Verse 3]
I love myself and I love my wife
And I love my friends and I love my life
But all of those things don't wanna hang out with me
'Cause I'm not nice and I never will be

[Chorus]
Oh oh
And I never will be
Oh oh
And I never will be

[Verse 4]
All gone to the movies
I don't wanna watch TV
I'd rather be sleeping
Sleepin' all day

[Verse 5]
I love myself and I love my wife
And I love my friends and I love my life
But all of those things don't wanna hang out with me
'Cause I'm not nice and I never will be

This is my cover of Teen Town by Weather Report composed by Jaco Pastorius, from the album Heavy Weather. I didn't use any click track. The drums were all played live, starting with the basic rhythm track, then I added the drum hits. I later made the two drum tracks separately in mono, so I could control the reverb for the drum hits. The synth sounds were a combination of the Nord piano 2 88 and Yamaha m06. The Rhodes piano was done on the Korg SV 88, and I played real fretless bass. For the doubling unison spots, I recorded them separately without hearing the other bass track, so it would make it easier to concentrate on the pitches. I sang the soprano saxophone parts also through a Lewitt MTP540 microphone. The conga drums were done on the Yamaha m06. ~ Rachel Flowers

Teen Town - Weather Report (cover)

“FRAGMEON” is a sonic journey through the edges of memory and interference.

Built on glitch textures, lo-fi field ambience, and deep stereo drift, this track blurs the line between machine and emotion.

With a slow-moving tempo (~68 BPM) and rooted in a minor tonal space, it floats across tape-warped pads, broken loops, and low-bit echoes — inviting introspection within noise.

Genre: Ambient Glitch / Post-Electronic / Experimental Lo-Fi
Instruments: Grainy analog synths, filtered tape hiss, stereo-dispersed glitch layers
Recommended For: headphone sessions, visual sound design, introspective playlists

FRAGMEON

“ZELURE” explores a blurred space between memory and sound, a digital lullaby woven with analog textures and ambient layers.

With an estimated BPM of 76 and no percussion to lead the way, it floats through stereo-widened pads, granulated synths, and soft harmonic movements. Designed for late-night reflection, silent walks, or immersive headphone moments.

Genre: Ambient Electronica / Lo-fi Dreamscape / Granular Minimalism
Mood: Introspective / Nocturnal / Ethereal / Nostalgic
