I locked myself/was snowed into a cabin for a month on the shores of lake Michigan, and turned it into a one man studio. Piblokto is a form of hysteria mainly found in eskimos, sometimes triggered by isolation during which the victim will find…

Quick live recording on my buddy Jim's guitar while visiting him in Portland. The song hopefully speaks for itself. Eastern Europe gets me every time...

Being as I am in something of a musical trough of despair (it's not as much fun as it sounds) right now I thought I'd try messing with my TMA-2 Reaktor instrument and try and coax some better results from it. From a promising beginning TMA…

I spent 15 hours composing and playing this or, I should rather say, this is the sole product of 15 hours of sitting with Live & my piano. I think there is the kernel of something good in it (and I intend to explore that later) but the…

Just messing around with voices and Yottskry. Here I am using it in Live and feeding 3 different vocal clips at a time. It's pretty slow getting going but I think it rewards (for some value of 'reward') listening all the way through. I was…

I set myself the challenge of making a track this evening. I've uploaded it with 2 minutes to spare. I started out with a wind chime instrument in Kontakt. I sequenced it using the PX-18 sequencer and then fed three different version of it…

I've been learning this Fats Waller style "stride" blues piece since *forever* but I'm finally getting it. Still have the last two bars to learn but here's a rendition of the part I've learned on an underwater marimba. I was accompanied on bells…

Okay so here it is, this is the blues piano piece I've been learning since **forever**. Tonight is the first time I've been able to play it through, twice, without making some kind of mistake. That said I had to slow to 80bpm which is too slow…

This is made with a very experimental Reaktor instrument I am building. It uses a very simple particle collision model with 64 particles in a 100x100 box. When two particles collide they trigger a sampler to play a slice of either of two samples…

Another slice of Reaktor based weirdness from the particle collider ensemble I am tentatively naming TMA-2. You can't tell from how it sounds I guess but the latest development is that particle energy now governs velocity, i.e. more energetic…
