Compositions all based on one (or more) of three different musical motifs. The motifs appear in many different forms - transposed, played with new accompaniments or in new meters, reworked with new melodies or rhythms, reversed, stretched out, chopped up, etc. 

See if you can hear the recurring motifs throughout the album if you give it a listen, and see if they start to feel more familiar over time when at first they might feel rather strange. I hope you enjoy!

I work as a scientist for a living & am a hobbyist composer writing in a few different styles. I recommend headphones. All of my music is released under a Creative Commons Attribution/Noncommercial license.

My bandcamp page is getting out of date again, but some older albums there can be downloaded for free or for a name-your-own price donation.

If anyone wants to try performing any of this stuff on real instruments please send a message and I can provide scores. Not sure how playable some of it is for human musicians though.

Unsolicited messages asking me to listen to your latest song will lead to you being blocked unless if I know you well and we've interacted a lot.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!
