Live studio sessions of tracks about anything and everything

Firefly Jar

Songs based on chronicled poems of Ankit Choudhury, author of A Ballad of Chaos. These are songs based on stages of life, self-introspection, and the eternal dance between love and loss, duty and desire, hope and despair. Each verse is a reflection of moments lived, battles fought within, and the rebirth that follows every fall.

A Feather's Fall

The Last Reflection

FIREFLY/STARLING Project Proposal: One of the species of music I do is algorithmic composition.

The intention is to side-step traditional metric notation altogether, and generate electronic sounds directly from their mathematical description.

TWO projects I’m working on involve the movement of sounds in objective or real space. Inspired by the Varèse, Xenakis, and Le Corbusier 1958 World's Fair Philips Pavilion—we did a reconstruction of this with the ASKO SCHOENBERG Ensemble years ago—I am hoping to implement a grid of a 40-voice sound source distributed over 400 light/speakers.

The simplest and most flexible way to do this would be an APP that audience members could download in situ that flashes colored lights on and off, while at the same time playing pitched percussive sound. This means that there are three versions of a piece: light only, lights + sound, and sound only. All versions could be performed in- or out-of-doors.

The first two pieces I’d like to realize both use simple swarm algorithms abstracted from Nature: (1) FIREFLY (2) STARLING.

FIREFLY: The primary parameter is how the 40 relatively autonomous voices—simple percussive, say, woodblock sounds—move in and out of synchronicity using complex, non-periodic rhythms. Secondary parameters are random spatial and random pitch distribution (a simple 4 octave C2 to C6 1/4-tone field). Other variables are total duration and max/min temporal density limits. 

STARLING: Here, there are two equal primary parameters, with an one octave ‘swarm’ of 1/4-tone pitches at high to low density over a six octave field—always maintaining coherence with the same simple percussive woodblock sound with clear spatial transients—that ‘flies’ around in pitch space. 

WORK PLAN: Start simple with laptop models: scale down to 4 voices in monophonic rendering; then, stepwise, scale up to 40 voices. Once optimal temporal and pitch densities are worked out, scale to spatial distribution adding a dynamic / amplitude 7-step scale ppp=far away // fff=very near, as well as stereo headphones output; from there, scale up to the next level with simple single-purpose smartphone wi-fi/cellular APP.

That’s it. Each piece would last about 10 minutes. They wouldn’t be written down, but generated anew each time.

If you’d like take part the FIREFLY/STARLING Project (pro bono) in any way—whether as coder, mathematician, AI specialist, or APP designer— or offer support in any way, you can email me at cliff@picture-poems.com

FIREFLY / STARLING Project Proposal:—Algorithmic  ‘SWARM’ spatial composition played LIVE!

A standout cut from the Ballroom Records catalogue, Firefly by Kostas Maskalides is now featured in TEN: The Archive Series, Pt. 5 — a chapter celebrating the more melodic and house-driven side of our sound.

Defined by warm grooves and emotive atmospheres, the track highlights the refined, melo side of Ballroom’s Melodic House & Techno identity.

Enjoy listening!!!

A Few tracks from my custom Pathfinder World: Mother Star

A Lonesome Song - Motherstar Main Theme

Chant des Cendres

🎸 On this episode of Talking Guitars on Johnny Beane TV, we kick things off with a powerful story — Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi is raffling off one of his autographed mahogany Gibson SG guitars to raise funds for the cancer center at Birmingham’s Heartlands Hospital, where he once received treatment. An amazing gesture from a true rock hero! 🤘

Then we dive into gear talk with the brand-new IK Multimedia TONEX Plug — their first-ever headphone amp featuring over 40,000 tones powered by cutting-edge AI machine modeling. It’s compact, powerful, and ready to take on the Fender Mustang Micro+ and Boss Katana Go.

🔥 After that, I drop a YouTube Premiere — my full Firefly Jimmy Page Dragon Telecaster review and demo! You’ll see me play it live and show off the details of this eye-catching guitar.

Finally, we head over to the workbenches: Ron keeps working on his Buck Owens Firefly, while I hunt for parts for my Strat build. In the meantime, I swapped out the end pins on that $40 Silvertone Stratocaster I built live on Wednesday.

Berghain Remix - Rosalia [ELIJAY TAYLOR REMIX]

TRADITIONAL SOUL, ROCK ENERGY, AND THE POWER OF AI! 🤘🔥

The deep and emotional folk song (Türkü) of Central Anatolia, “Yazan Kalem Siyah” (The Pen Writes Black), is here with a brand new, powerful sound: ANATOLIAN ROCK!

This project fuses the traditional spirit of this timeless work—which speaks of separation, fate, and grievance—with the energetic structure and guitar riffs of Anatolian Rock.

The entire production was carried out using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, which represent the future of art:

Anatolian Rock Music Production: Suno AI (Arrangement transforming the soul of the folk song into modern rock tones)
Dynamic Video Visuals (Motion Graphics): Leonardo AI
Cover Art / Concept Design: Adobe Firefly

This experimental work carries an immortal piece—originally written and composed by the esteemed 
Şenol Tezcan—into the future by challenging the boundaries of technology and musical genres.
What do you think of this fusion? We look forward to your comments!
