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…

This is actually a combo of three pieces: Shreya's song "Cry of the Banshee", my song "Strange High House In The Mist", and some open mic poetry under the title "The Skull." Needs a bit of cleaning up, maybe, but I think I did a good job channeling…

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…

I have to give credit to my baby daughter Amelia for inspiring the basic groove of this song. No vocals yet.

This one varies between having a rock-ambient feel and more playful as well. It's long, but you have to stick around for a fun part at the end!

Apparently Shreya was listening to a lot of blues when she wrote this. ORLY? Anyway, since she is a woman of mystery, she subverted the typical gender role of this dark, dirty blues dirge and then I trompled all over with my crazy additions…

This is an oldie that needs something. A personal touch but I haven't quite figured out what.

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 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…

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.

An acapella bit of Shreya's. She had recorded it to sound super high-pitched, and when I dropped it down a few octaves, was treated to a wonderful Bjork sound. At her request I threw some hip-hop beats underneath and away we go. Scary and sexy…

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…

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…
