"Lumber Train"

A simple melodic idea led to this track. Using all my keyboards in this one, the MP-600, the SH-201 and the Minilogue. The idea to add trap-inspired drums came later, along with a previously recorded passing train sound effect to transition into it. And for the hi-hat sound, I had a very clicky pull tab on a beer can that I ended up using.

"Black Woodpecker"

I figured that there needed to be one upbeat track to balance out the other two that are more on the down low. And I had an idea for how to do the drums. I went into the local forests with my Zoom field recorder one day and found some nice fallen banches, tree stumps and rocks. And with these found objects I made all of the drums and percussion sounds used in this track and probably scared away a deer in the process of recording it. Went with footwork inspired drum patterns in 160 BPM, because that is currently another obsession of mine.

What other forest animal is also known for making percussive sounds on trees? Woodpeckers, of course. And I came across some beautiful samples of a black woodpecker drumming away which I also had to use. The melodic and non-precussion elements in this track are too almost entirely based on "wooden" sounds like the marimba, barrel organ, slide flute.

"Photosynth"

Originally this was a short improvised piece I made with a Dexed (DX7) patch some years ago. It has been adapted for this EP with the addition of more synth and FX tracks

Fotosynt

Two contrasting pieces of ambient music commissioned for Elin Barosen's art exhibition "Spor", consisting of sketches of abandoned and dilapidated wooden houses in Northern Norway.

I was so proud that 13% of the entire population of my city showed up to say HANDS OFF to the brazen theft of democracy and the sabotaging 
of our economy and our historic national allies.   8,000 of us showed up!!!!  Yeah Santa Cruz!
I got a beautiful new sample based keyboard VSTi and tonight I created this in the spirit of renewal and resistance!
It's called S.K.Y. Keys if anyone is interested and I"m immediately loving not only the sounds in it, but the ability to morph them in 
fascinating and modern ways as well as the ability to use any sound as a keyboard source in it's engine.   For what it's worth 
it's on sale, really cheap right now.  I have no affiliation with it.  Just a great set of sounds for composing.

ТИХО…
синие горошины
катятся по площади,
Больше действий!
Унесите,
                   Лошади!
Люди –
руки крепко скрещены,
ловко через трещины – 
- пронесёмся
                     в бешеном
Темпе
через сельские
улицы. АПРЕЛЬСКОЕ!
настрой
               сердцебиение.
Прутья
             разожми-ка 
                                зубками,
Голосами гулкими,
Говорим 
беззвучно мы.
