We Are Water

Based around John Frusciante’s sizzling guitar instrumental “Untitled #6” and featuring a sample of Allyson Krauss’ “Down to the River to Pray,” this remix has a wild and free sound that attempts to capture the feeling of a hot summer day at the river - sunburn, nettle stings and all.

Instrument credits: violin and viola by Thacher Schmid, flute by Gina Sobel, bass guitar by Nickles D’Onofrio III, drums by Doug Appling.

This was a fun piece from 2004, "nuFountain". Don't ask me why I gave it that name, but it's kinda cool so I just kept it. I did all of my recording live into a line-in to my PC, and used Sound Forge 5 to record and tinker with the finished track. I probably overdid it a little bit here, since it was a brand new toy for me at the time, but there's some cool effects thrown in there if you listen. 👂🏻

I used completely different instruments here than were used on anything else I've uploaded to SoundCloud so far. A Korg DS-8 was the main keyboard, also controlling a Yamaha TG300 midi module that adds the analog synth filter sound that makes up an important part of the sound (I love how it sounds in the final part of the song the best). I'm just playing whatever I'm feeling, along to the beat of a Yamaha QY20. 🎹

Like several of the things I've made over the years, there's a little bit of Ultravox inspired sound in there. Not the rhythm, but the lead + string sound reminds me of them. 🏦

The photo is a close up of an actual fountain ... though I think it looks like an oil painting! 🫟

(Beat) You P3

20 years before the emergence of STS9, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on a mission to the farthest reaches of the solar system and beyond. Each of these probes was equipped with identical Golden Records, special messages attached to what Carl Sagan called “a bottle launched into the cosmic ocean.” They contained numerous images and sounds from throughout the world, pieces of music from various cultures, a map identifying the location of our planet, and other information for whomever, or whatever, might find them.

While the Golden Records included greetings in 59 languages, they made no mention of nations and borders, wars and rivalries, or anything else that divides us. What they did mention was life, love, peace, birth--the things that bind us to one another and to the planet we call home. 

The Universe Inside is a reflection of this message. It is a story about human identity and the magical truth of who we are, where we’re going, and our place in the Universe. It says we are one, made of stardust and the forces of nature that evolved over billions of years. Connected by the sun, moon and stars, we are the living, breathing conscience of the Universe. 

"We are one, made from dust of the stars / down here we bear the weight of the pain and the scars / just want to live with nothing to hide / every one of us a universe inside."
