My foliage woods walk music is settled for tomorrow! Lovely!

NEWS: Thrilled to announce that 'In A Strange Land' has ben accepted for presentation at the 2023 New York City Electroacoustic Musical Festival taking place this June. Will post details when they become available. 

Offering both excitement and menace, an unfamiliar place. Makes extensive use of Synthesis Technology's E520, the Xaoc Kamieniec & Dr Sketchy's Freak Shift.

Much of my sonic idea of a "new soundscape" has been significantly influenced by our move to a more countrified location in Upstate New York, where we are constantly hearing birds, tree frogs, crickets and other insects, a sound environment made possible by our new closeness to nature.

In A Strange Land

This track is from 2011, but I've never posted it here before.  I used the Modcan 57B VC Recorder (voltage control recorder) as an audio recorder and grabbed a bunch of sounds "live" from a shortwave radio and looped them.  Once I created and layered the loops, I recorded them and mixed them with some Moog synthesizer recordings in Logic.  I'm pretty sure the Moog Old School Voyager was going through a Electro-Harmonix POG pedal to create 'chords' and then various delay and reverb efx.

Sounds lush and haunting to my ears, so it seemed like something nice to post for Halloween this season.  Enjoy and thanks for listening if you choose to do so!

Avatar Of Thorn

The Light Collapses Upon Her Shadow

On an all-star episode of 70 Movies We Saw in the 70s, Jim Healy and Scooter McCrae join Scott and Ben for an apocalyptic assault on John Boorman's one-of-a-kind dystopian sex/death romp, Zardoz! Listen along as the quartet analyzes everything from Sean Connery's speedo-loincloth to Sean Connery's bearded ponytail. Hold on to your headphones as we careen down memory lane with tales of close encounters with John Boorman, Jonathan Rosenbaum, and the Coen Brothers. Break out the green bread, this one's a doozy!

Ep. 50 - Zardoz (1974)

A tribute to Lucio Fulci's THE BEYOND (as well as the inspirations of Fabio Frizzi).  Horror is the formless void...BEYOND.
