This track is unlike the majority of my others. It was written for two dear friends that passed all too soon. They were a model of love and devotion for each other and are missed terribly.

This is a playlist of the first coupThe Storm began out of a concept that from a few choices, actions are set into motion that culminates into a massive force that cannot be stopped. It will eventually reach a climax and then will resolve while leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. 

This piece materialized out of a couple of simple guitar chords and a very gradual/very powerful build. From there, multiple field recordings of local thunderstorms, shortwave radios, bad cabling futzing out, morse codes, and a host of additional outboard gear rounded out the primary structure. 

Chad Seiter was gracious enough to sit down and write out a beautiful cello part and Brian Cachia busted out some powerful beats to augment some of the drum programming.le of tracks that was released under the

The Storm

"The Red Balloon" is essentially an exercise. I decided I wouldn’t use any sample libraries or anything that wasn’t my own. At core, it’s using a couple of different passes using guitars and outboard gear and then using recordings of a whistling tea kettle. 

Initially, I used my guitar routed through a looper pedal. It’s a simple three chord progression and then reversed. It’s routed through two distortion pedals and then through a dual-delay module. It’s all running through a small amp that I have mic’d with an sm57 and going into Nuendo. I basically let it run and record for several cycles. After cleaning it up a bit in Nuendo, I grabbed the guitar again and did the little melodic passages using essentially the same setup (although I changed settings on the delay), although I didn’t use the looper. I recorded that stuff live.

Red Balloon

Sealed.

Darkness.

The walls are closing in.

You cannot breath.

You cannot leave.

Waiting.

Waiting.

You close your eyes.

Let go.
