live @ Dunn Bros. in Keller, Tx. 1/29/10
Took me awhile to get my legs here, as evidenced by the sloppy playing. The bulk of this is the tune "Blue Hour".
Our sun is in a long, cool, quiet period right now. But average ocean temps are the highest ever, and polar ice and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. Something is going on here.
Opened for Hentai Improvising Orchestra at 1919 Hemphill in Fort Worth. A 26 minute piece, I had to edit it down to this because of some nasty noise spikes on the louder bits. So whats left is a very sleepy piece.
An octave pedal would be fun to play with on the keys too. I have used a wah wah and distortion pedal on some of my songs. You can have two instruments hooked up to this at the same time? O man..the possibilities.. Great work.

this reminds me of an episode of the Simpson's where there was a chili cook-off and Homer had the hottest chili available at the festival. Then, Homer went into an alternate world and a coyote was talking to him, asking him to find his soul mate. The atmosphere Homer found himself in must have sounded something like this.
Nice work guy.

Now THAT I'd like to hear!
An 8-bit groove recorded from the NESynth iPhone application and a little love from GarageBand and the Mac text-to-speech tools. Here are the lyrics:
Thought over capacity
I cannot achieve
Maximum velocity
Digital heart racing
Multiplexing
Enumerating…
Cthulahoop recording commenced after a peculiarly strong dream. Uses samples of a friend's digerido run through an analog filter. Definitely dream state.
I guess this would be the "centerpiece" of the album. Like the rest of the album it really stumbles along the line between droney and simply repetitive, and it needs a bit of a reworking to reach its potential.
Where's all this sappy music coming from? The Olympics were on. I must have been watching too much figure skating or something.
Unmastered track from my 2010 RPM Challenge submission.
This is inspired by Frippitronics. Frippontroncis is I call non-traditional mood music invented by Robert Fripp master guitarist for King Crimson. It involves loops of sustained guitars, in this case using an e-bow. I usually do one of these…
Stuck in a very comfy place. You know you need to leave...
Da techno:
Ableton Live, Alchemy and playing on the the qwerty, quite literally while lying in a bed in California with ipod headphones on. Upon arriving home, I did a little mixing…
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…

This is a track I've been working on for quite a while so I am glad to finally have it out of my head.
I have a kind of love/hate relationship with time and its humble functionary, the clock. Ticking, in particular, is something I am ambivalent…
Comments on Breaking Light's stuff
Enchanting... :)
Gorgeous interplay between guitar and flute! VERY ethereal.
I'm trying to give this one a listen but nothing seems to be playing for me right now. I'll try again later. I'm sure it's great.
Very cool. Lovely tones!
Love those reverse effects! Cool stuff!
wild tune.
Wish I'd been there. This is great man! Love the way it comes together after about the 6 minute mark. This is a lovely start to my day
Hey Thanks,Catching Up After The Holidays,Hope You Have A Creative New Year!
How did I miss this? Wow - what a track! w;-)
Love it. This is serious business.
And so here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2YbhVTbsPk
Love this one, man. Note to self, improve my recording technique so that sound at least half this good...
Great sounds...
Now, I'm going to start experimenting with my Octave pedal. thanks guy. keep up the good work.
Don't wait for an excuse! Love this!
Sweet and sour stuff.
Use that excuse more often! Great track! w;-)
Man, I love leaving your stuff playing as I just sit back and listen. The diversity of guitar players on here is lotsa fun.

I read your name as thespiritTIDES for some reason, I must be semi-dyslexic. Wilkommen.

Cool machine music!
Heard this on the RPM player and came over here to fave!
Wickedness!
Thanks, you made my day. And called attention to yours, which I had sadly overlooked. Good work!
Really really good album. Proof you don't have to be loud to be interesting.
You know I love this kinda stuff, Howard. Good one here.
Wow I admit I drifted away on this one, well done!
nice nice very nice!
And so here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2YbhVTbsPk
I've been meaning to get this done for a while, just keep putting it off. Thank you for yer music.
This is the one missing from Tomita's (Holst) The Planets!
Cool sounds! I'd love to get back into midi/keyboard compositions myself someday.
@ShamPain, here's a new, de-noised version. Not "clean" but better, considering the live nature of this hissy beast! Thanks.
Wish I could favorite the playlist as a whole! THe MOBA site is great also.
Very nice sound painting. Long, too.
Very cool. Enjoyed reading the notes, it's obvious you put a lot of work into it.
This is cool. Been listening to a lot of Robert Rich recently and this is up that same alley. Title was interesting to research too,
I like the changes. Great song!
