struggling to get my computer working, it was a windows PC but i had to convert it to linux, and now it has issues. it's 10 years old, i bought it used. Just going through the process, this is not a good track

Light Speed

Working with Reaper in Linux, with loops and JS effects. Ancient computer from 10 years ago... 

Disco Baby

More test work in Reaper in Linux Mint. Getting my Reaper workflow down. This piece is in C Harmonic minor. The middle section has a root of B natural! I don't use the root (C) or the 5th in the chords on top, so it works well, lots of tension.

Suno generated, lyrics by Microsoft Copilot. Going to split stems and make cover tune or remix.

**LYRICS**

**Quasi-Modal**  

*(Verse 1)*  

Slipping through the scale, never bound, never whole,  

Halfway fixed, halfway floating, slipping past control.  

Every step, a whispered shape, a chord yet undefined,  

Harmony in tension, dancing out of time.  


*(Pre-Chorus)*  

Not major, not minor,  

Just a shadow in between.  

I'm bending in the echoes,  

Living out a lucid dream.  


*(Chorus)*  

Quasi-modal, drifting high,  

Never static, never tied.  

A shifting voice, a blurred refrain,  

Carving space inside the strain.  


*(Verse 2)*  

Notes collide like restless waves, tangled up in space,  

Pushing past the center line, but never leave a trace.  

A melody unmoored, but still it finds its way,  

A paradox of motion where the sound will stay.  


*(Bridge)*  

I'm the space between the signals,  

The shimmer in the tone,  

The almost-known, the fading glow,  

A spectrum all my own.  


*(Outro)*  

Quasi-modal, always near,  

A song you feel but never hear.  

Moving closer, moving far,  

A fading chord, a fleeting star.

Made in Reaper using Auburn Sounds' Couture and Renegater. Drum loops got sliced, diced, and reanimated—funk meets ether in this layered jam.

Lens” fractures funk through local tech—light warped, perception parsed, angle elusive, signal intact.

Lens

I’m someone who’s spent a lifetime chasing music in all its intricate shapes — from Bach’s fugues to Coltrane’s relentless changes, and the lush, impossible chords of Holdsworth. I tinker with Linux on a stubborn old machine, making the most of what I’ve got, freezing tracks and throttling cores to keep my creative sparks alive.
I’m no stranger to old injuries or new challenges, but I try to meet them all with humor, curiosity, and a quiet, stubborn optimism. In the end, I just hope to keep learning, keep playing, and maybe leave behind a little melody that makes someone else smile.
