Yves Baar sent me a midi piano file from Belgium and I found that if I slowed it down 20% and converted the piano to trombone and french horns that I was able to work closely with the synth - doubling and countering his melody.
This is the first piece that I recorded - just after midnite on Feb. 1st. with Anne Cozean in mind as vocalist. Anne and I have worked together before and she delivered a great performance across two tracks. I was thinking Portishead going in…
I couldn't help but finally make a layered arpeggiated piece along the the lines of Philip Glass. I put it out there for a taker and Bill Grundmann wrote "I hear voices". I had no idea how many and how disturbing they would be. He created a mini…
Wow. This is one of the most powerful pieces of music I've heard in a long time - RPM or not. Haunting. I was listening as I was sitting in my living room and this one really pulled me in. Those samples are sublimely placed and the soundbed moves it along without nudging it out of place. Well done guys!
After Chris recorded his guitar tracks for track two here - we jammed this little piece out direct to a Zoom H2 recorder with no overdubs or editing in post. Chris Cochrane is a gifted guitarist with a emotional and visceral approach to his instrument…
In my pursuit of using music tools on the iPhone to create something resembling the perfect beauty of static. I have created this one of 10 tracks faux static album.
Toughest thing to mix on the entire album. Synthesizer music for the attention-impaired.
If you don't like the current melody, wait five seconds.
Song name comes from my workplace addiction - I was going through a bag of cough drops weekly…

this is as if the hugest ocean vessel in the entire world was passing by deep, wide, and intense.

This is a cool wee track. compulsive listening. Nice..... sixmilewide member
pretty cool.
This and some over pieces over here are minimalistic and very atmosphérique (I mean "good", at least for me :-). I like it
Love the spooky moody feel.
That is some scary stuff- dig it!!
A well rounded album, with a lot of diversity despite the very limited number of sounds used. I really enjoy the whole thing.
You did a wonderful job with the album. It works as a whole so well. I love how several of the tracks find a hidden melody and riff on it.
Amazing track. I love when the low end takes over about halfway in, then a bit later, the almost wahwah/trombone sounds. So great.
