This was the first song Shreya played me, and she said it came to her in a dream, and I believe it. It's flooring, and her vocals/acoustic guitar are relatively untouched. I added the other virtual instruments, and if you listen carefully, you…
This song was written to celebrate freedom, actually, (the Russian at the end is one of the dudes from Freesound.com saying "sound should be free!") after a decade when I wasn't. Props to Shreya, who apparently is like me and will just not go…
The psychedelic kitchen sink. Shreya's understated vocals about mythological things, the sound of the aurora, a droning wine glass, understated guitar, a fretless bass solo... I had a khoomei (throat singing) bit that resonated with the wine…
That didn't stop her.
Main vocals/bleeps by Shreya, keys and backing vocals by me. Actually, my baby daughter was in my arms while I was doing those vocals and she started crying. Even though I cropped that part, I didn't use any noise reduction…
Earlier this year I was in a community choir, mostly senior citizens performing songs by bands like Soundgarden and Green Day. One of the songs, "Grateful," had a lyric that went 'In a city of strangers/I have a family of friends.' It was Halloween…

I like how you work the snare drums and bass in around the 1:30 mark. You scared the crap out of me, though.
I was standing in my bathroom wearing stereo headphones, and I thought my pipes had exploded or something.
Shreya's composition, a tale of love and death that is also perhaps a sly reference to the most famous proponent of the ontological argument for you-know-who. This is the dreamy guitar version, and there is also a classical-sounding piano version…

This sounds better everytime I hear it. Which is at least 3x now. So now, this song, which I liked the first time i heard it, now I like it 3X better (or more).Do you smell something?
More playing with BigSeq
Thanks sandbags for the initial idea that started the thing; which was to run piano loops through BigSeq. Then slowing the tempo down to 26 I started adding some other textural things and ended up with this. Then some…
A simple 3-part "round" or canon with variations, showing my children how you can devise a melody that can stack on top of itself like offset puzzle pieces, which will then make its own harmony (with a nod to the master of rounds and fugues, J…
I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee.
Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.
I was hesitant about uploading this one. It's really old and I hadn't listened to it in at least 10 years. I remember that at the time of recording it didn't come out the way I wanted but that I was ok (sort of) with the results. The vocals were…
One from a year ago or so. Never was happy with the recording quality, but never got around to re recording it. My attempt at a kind of late 70's Phil Keaggy thing
it is zajjy and offbeat. it is almost a tao of tonality. it is dizzy. it is not gillespie. do not follow its path too closely. it knows not its destination. generative music.

Well, as a Zen Buddhist, I'm familiar with the story of the man seeing the monk carrying a heavy burden, and asking him what enlightenment was like. The monk agrees to show him, so he sets the burden down, lets out a huge sigh of relief and smiles. The man asks "If that's enlightenment, what next?" So the monk picks up his burden and continues on his way...
an exposition,traditional,of the raga ,bilaskani todi,transformed into a slightly dark ambient piece of music,exploring musical landscapes,inspired by a scenario,as if for a film,which my music normallt is.
it is a piece in threes. it is said that good things come in threes. it is in 3/4. it has three sections. it has three notes.
the 3 note sequence was generated, repeated, overlayed, slower and faster in software. it is a small piece. it comes…

This is Faith. I got your Myspace message with the link to these songs. They are awesome!
The music suggests a bit of disorientation... perhaps go with that, and add non-sequiter soliloquy, half-haiku, or dramatic darkwave twisted lyrics.
beautiful.
I can just get lost in this one- beautiful track
This is hypnotic... wonderful!
WOW- absolutely haunting!!!

Not familiar with BiqSeq. What's it like?
Badass!!!
You tease!
Very present.
Hmm.. yeah, awesome.
Heh, love the volume swells.
Man, this is nice.
Oh snap, I was going to ask if this was generative music, then I looked at the 'about' section. How are you doing it?

Cool!
Abstract and beautiful.
Nice, can totally hear Neil Young singing over this.
