I *finally* found a solution for my two broken tuning machines on my old beat up mandolin. After getting the machines fixed I decided to take it for a spin. This is an improvisation as recorded on my Zoom H2 with just a bit of compression.

electric mandolin on 3 tracks - 2 bowed (right and left) with viola bow and 1 strummed just a bit and mostly ebowed (center) Washburn bass voice with effects drum loops sliced and diced

something I wrote for piano a long while ago I'm dusting off and trying to give it new life.

no story to tell...was experimenting with a few things - this is the 'drum' version - a naked version of this can be heard on myspace...the drum samples are pitchshifted almost to oblivion...the title came about by accident...

a song written for someone - he is the monster in my thoughts...there is another version of this song which will be uploaded to myspace...

Instrumental

clocks tick blasphemy, duel intent only sun, only moon inherit a moment's trust- tether my spirit's fog to the present halt infinity, mute old tunes damn the cosmos if I must phantoms of light, too old to repent undead galactic projections…
