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…
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...

it is a zen chant, a rhythm and voice stretched across time. the chords massage the mind, the words captivate on edge of obscurity. an unexpected gunshot alters the direction of the future. perhaps a different kind of freedom?
Just a fun track I made that I haven't quite figured out how to integrate Shreya's piece 'Hades' over the middle section. A bit jarring but I still like it.
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.

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…

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.
