Bummer. I can't get this one to play. Your title reminds me of a name I know--Mars Bass Man--plays gigs with DJMasonic. Is that you?

Hi, Erik, it's Dave Hume--I'm alive and wellish in Ohio, just looking you up on web. Still o.k., I hope?

Well, there was this Spectrasonics contest... and songs had to be submitted by June 30th... so we finally started working on this one on the evening of the 29th. Yeah. We procrastinate.

My favorite song by far...always brings tears. That to me makes a beautiful song. I loved seeing you play this live and feeling it.

This montage is about making music and what it means to people. It uses comments from a number of classical musicians interviewed for a radio series I record and produce called "The Main Street Sessions". The music is from "The Gospel of Thomas…

This has your trademark thick vocal sound - those hits are just so nice and milkshake thick. Screw the levels, this thing sings and demands to be turned up no matter what. ANGRY GOOD!

This is another track resulting from a project in my digital music class at Oasis Charter Middle School (Spring 2007). Using a common pool of objects, my newborn daughter's baby instruments, I asked the students to create episodic sound illustrations…

Oh my god, I would have loved to have a class in middle school where we got to produce stuff like this. Amazing.

I love this track. Is there a gamelan in there somewhere? How'd you get that spicy, non-western wink in the sound?

A couple of years ago i went through some pretty intense surgeries and i think this song describes the fear, pain and uncertainty that i felt during those times. Again....thank you for listening.

I've known people who fit the description of your father and (in memory) they sound and feel exactly like this. Bravo!

Great sensitivity to detail, strong sound images. Put some more tracks up here! Do you by any chance have any compositions that use the voice in a non-traditional way? I'm working on programming the upcoming season of Mobtown Modern, a new music series at the Contemporary Museum in Baltimore that I recently started with saxophonist Brian Sacawa. One of the programs that is still open is called "More Than Words" (January), concentrating on innovative treatment of the human voice. Let me know if you have anything that could work for that. By the way, do you teach in the DC area? Best, Erik Spangler

Every single sound source on this tune comes from a cheesy 70's Capitol Records promotional record. A great record, mind you, complete with faked dialogues between engineer and producer. At times, it's messy, so hold onto your faders.

The silky vocals--always curving smoothly, so effortlessly beautiful, nothing contrived or fake--I love your voice.

Yay! More from A. Sweet! Who is drumming for you? Is it you? Lovely fills. Nice development and a good journey in the tune. Never stagnant. Good transitions. Oh, and the story? Love the present vocals. I'll bet the others here will join me in wishing you well.

You score extra points for coming up with the word, "bioelectrophilia" I'm sending one of my classical music buddies who wants to get into electronica (good electronica) over here to listen to your stuff.
