Originally produced in 1991, for inclusion in the Mostly MIDI Mailing List tape "Thirds".  These are the original liner notes:
I used a Casio CZ-1 for the low, pseudo-analog growling in the background, as well as the "synth-horn" passing section. The arpeggio-style part is the wonderful "Warm Bell" sound of an MT-32 (one of my personal favorite patches...) doubled with an Akai S612 sampler playing a sample of a Sequential Multi-Trak patch, processed (looped, etc.) The drum track was done with a Yamaha RX7 drum machine. The song reminds me of a long, curvy section of the I-55 expressway that I merge onto on my way to school/work, and I drive a Daytona, hence the name!

MMML: Thirds

Daytona Racer

Originally written in 2003? for a contest sponsored by the Yamaha MOTIF "Motifator" web site.
It's 100% done on the original Yamaha MOTIF "classic" synth.  The contest was to make a piece of music using "Gate FX".  The Gate FX in this song starts right at the start, and runs the whole time.  That initial stabby sound is really a long note broken up by Gate FX.  Even after all these years, I am still undecided on how the "bent piano" melody plays out.  It reminds me of the Robert Plant song "Big Log".

Shimmering

Originally written in 2004?
Around this time, I really got into loop based music.   I didn't actually perform any of the notes themselves, but instead, pieced together loops in "collage" fashion.  This was written when my boys were just a toddler and a baby.  When you have kids, it really brings home just how fragile, yet inevitable life is.  It reminds me of a lonely satellite/probe flying through space, in search for any sign of life.
