Preview of "Capricorn" (minus parts to be performed live) from Hybrid Groove Project's ZODIACROBATIC, an arrangement of Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Tierkreis", 12 melodies of the Zodiac. To be premiered on the Mobtown Modern music series in Baltimore…
thanks for the thoughtful comment! I'm including this one in my next rhythmically delicious playlist of alonetone artists. I always enjoy your music of dancing samples of instrument performances
One in a series of trip hop beats that I am making from samples that I recorded with an ensemble in January, of Schoenberg's "Pierrot Lunaire". Although we never got to play our "Pierrot Redux" in live performance, let nothing go to waste. I dedicate…
Music for the credits of a film called "High Lonesome" by Andrew Hulse. I originally wrote this for guitar, viola, and double bass. In this new version, the lead melody is played by my wife on clarinet.

letting this playlist loop over dinner was a perfect idea! I'm awed by the production, the layering of beautiful melodies over delicious rhythms.. this playlist is a gem.
Beat created for vocal collaborator Du Yun, mixed with a slowed-down Medieval recorder estampie. Created while dwelling in the suburban wilds of Cape Coral, Lee County, FL.

Erik, this is a VERY impressive website. I am floored by what you have accomplished. I always knew you were an amazing composer, but now you are mind blowingly amazing. Keep up the great work. -Erin (your old interlochen buddy)
Good work Robin. After the one-minute mark the flow especially works nicely. I really like how you cut up and manipulate that synth riff around 1:30, and I agree with you that putting it where it is provides a welcome change from the epic 80's sound
The first bioelectrophilia track since returning to the US. This song was made with only 2 saki monkey vocalizations. Note the beginning of the song which demonstrates how one vocalization was turned into part of the percussion.
Man, I wish I had this track last Wednesday night when I mixed some of your other bioelectrophilia tracks at the "Sound Ecology" event that I told you about. Lots of positive comments from audience members. Keep bringing it.
My music series, Mobtown Modern, just got a great write-up in the Baltimore Sun. Our upcoming show features music by one of the composers sampled in this beat. Can you guess who it is?

i love this track. if it's ok with you, i'd like to mix a few of your tracks into an opening dj set for a concert called "sound ecology" on my new music series, mobtown modern, in baltimore. that'll be in october, featuring compositions that are inspired by the environment. i'll make sure you are credited in the program notes. check out the site for the series:

I am singing/vocalizing audio to accompany short scenes in a film made by an artist friend of mine. She calls it "Pattern Pattern". This segment goes with a snowy scene where shadows move in and out like wolves.
102nd & Amsterdam is dedicated to by father, Raymond Boyce; this was the first of many New York addresses for him. My fathers stories of growing up in New York in the 40's and 50's cemented in my mind the idea of New York as The City, an idea…
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,

i really love what you're doing, using your own field recordings of environmental sounds as sampling material. do you know stephen vitiello's work? less beat-oriented, but touching on some similar ideas of "sound ecology". keep these tracks coming.
Comments on Erik Spangler's stuff
yes! love it! Sounds like a fun project. Really like the haunts of those eerie violins!
thanks for the thoughtful comment! I'm including this one in my next rhythmically delicious playlist of alonetone artists. I always enjoy your music of dancing samples of instrument performances
i like the beats that fall apart and sound like rain. do you do this with a kit or a machine?
this could be the start of something new. the natural rhythms that come from celebration. oh my god. i could listen to this for HOURS.
hi. this track made me love you. talk about being drawn in.

Nice!

Love this one. The wind instrument motifs are great! Beat is super too.
I didn't expect that beat to come in... a nice surprise. The whole piece develops and generates interest throughout.
Cool! Great samples! Nice interaction of all the parts.
Really cool track, Erik.
Very cool!!
I agree with Jw...we finally got it right!
THANK YOU AMERICA FOR GETTING YOUR SH*T TOGETHER!
Music to my ears.

Fantastic recording! Genius!
Change is here for USA and the world!
This must be good for America and of course the rest of the world. Good job.

sounds so sweet, damn... i'm usually into more sample-based tracks, but your use of synth layers is so tight
cool. which project is this for?
Very cool
so chill. great sound

Haunting and beautiful. I'd love to see the film.

Great layering and drum programming. Kind of like a blend of Squarepusher and Radiohead, very nice.
