a melody accompanied by wind through a pipe brings in an ostinato.  the organ builds, the e. piano plays the melody.  an interlude to a dark groove that builds more.  a wild jam after that.  the drummer gets some at the end.

Brazen serpent m1 and m2

a flute introduces the groove, the bass lays it down.  the flute plays the melody.  soon another groove starts.  the flute plays over this.

For dr. sardonicus m1

an oboe plays a cadenza with help from celeste and percussion.  the toms bring in the churning orchestra vamp which carries the melody.   the oboe cadenzas out.

Lyran melody the single

m1: the tom and flotatious strings bring in the bells.  the bells play accompanied by the toms and strings.  a unison melody brings in accelerated rhythm and a piano ostinato.  the floatious strings escort out the piano and bells.

m2:  the dark piano begins a building of intensity. harp plucks an arpeggio and the piano accompanies. bells and piano play out the melody.

Sentient vegetable m1 and m2

Heliotrope m1

a dialogue between the harmonica and the wood flute is accompanied by pounding tom toms.  the dialogue becomes a unison, and then is washed out by some spacious wave.  the dialogue is revisited until it evaporates at the end.

Middle earth

The grand piano carries the melody on this song, with percussion and synth dramatic effects.
A theme is repeated.

Baby bigfoot m2

A jazz swing, with snare brushes, upright bass, and flute.  A theme engages, then dissolves into improvisation.   Some unison melodies create surprise.  The players go wild.

Yes it's only two guys and it's improvised and recorded on the first take.

Cryptic eclipse

the pounding toms introduce the thunder storm and the chirping birds in a symphony.  the synths and guitars come in later, accompanied by thunder and chirping birds.  

nature meets synthesis in an orchestration.



23 degrees m1

out of free jazz chaos emerges a groove.  out of the groover emerges a theme.  the music breaks down, and out of free jazz again emerges the grove and theme.
