A morning storm recorded in the courtyard and a musical motif written in the evening. combined time working-- 45 minutes, interrupted by a phone call from the parents to see if I was still alive.

sandbags, it looks like we both have the hero complex. I empathize, it's a terrible self-inflicted typecast to put on oneself, but almost irresistible to the psyche to want to be the rugged cowboy hero archetype. Damn you Jung! It cooled off here in Texas after the storm, so we had a little sub 39C air blow in yesterday.

I wrote this short woodwind motif at the time MJ died yesterday. The King played a major influence on some of my more dance-oriented music, so this is my ode to the king.
From today's one hour session:
acoustic guitar, fretless electric bass, tabla, tambourine, and the synthesque sound is the electric guitar played with a violin bow
Unlike a lot of instrumental music I hear, this sounds very cathartic. It sounds like it's tapping into something, and channeling it out in the form of music. It held my attention for the full seven minutes..
I'm disturbed by the love affair people have with institutionalized violence. We inadvertently endorse and legitimize war by saying nothing. Maybe it is because we would rather subdue ourselves with meaningless television shows and those neurotics social networking 'about me' quizzes than challenge the norms by which geopolitical power is executed worldwide, both economically and militaristically. What world did Enlightenment principles bestow us with?
MMi's Voices

MMi wrote the song. I programmed percussion, recorded tabla and vocals.
This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.
But listening to it in iTunes this morning I thought it passed muster. I don't think it has enough variation to justify it's length but it's gently…

Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record.
No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…
so Airport Columns.. and Opened... I think these might be my two favorite MMI tunes at the moment. This one is magical. I imagine a caravan of nomads wandering through the Serengeti desert in search of a waterhole, but the electronic ambiances suggest that it's some kind of computer-generated dream... like I'm really laying in an isolation tank in someone's laboratory.
thanks for the comments Glibert! This one was thirty minutes from figuring out the guitar lick to bouncing the tracks. I'm most happy with this brainstorm out of all of these because it just came out when I began recording... more naturally than the others.
This one was originally slated for the RPM, but I never got to it. I put together this layout one day, and it hasn't progressed since then, but vocals are coming. Does anyone have Tom Waits' phone number?

Sounds like film music, reminiscent of a western. Right now I'd like to be the hero striding into that storm because it is too HOT!
oh yes, you move, you guuuuuv
highlarious --nice -yess
this one's going places can't wait to find out where...
Scary good stuff!
Really enjoying this playlist , but this one especially kills me!!
Lovely stuff!!
Wow this is great what a journey
great atmosphere, beautiful mixture of notes and sounds. The drums are fantastic.
yummy! Mmm so full sounding! great recording!
woaw. Varese, Ligeti, glu. A soundtrack for dreams.
Oh Yeah- the various mood shifts are really cool! Fav'd
woah, multiple movements, all very cool, is that a subtle steel drum I hear?
yeah, she's all over that beat in the second verse.
why yes, it is so embarrassing that I'd rather not post the lyrics in public.
That was me. -Sister Savagery.
This is actually quite filthy, isn't it?

droppin' bomb after bomb in this playlist.
yeah, this is a very affective piece. One of my MMI favorites...
beautiful vocals.. and @ 02:20 nice percussion! great cover.

hahhaha yeah!!! filthtone ftw!!!
this sounds utterly hopeless in the best of ways.
I think your 'desert gypsy' and my 'it's storming inside' need to meet up for a draw!
hands down... this is my favorite kjwise tune. bittersweet melody + female vox ftw!
really enjoy d&b-esque tunes with piano
just in case you both are clueless.. this is my favorite ACL tune to date. :-)
I'm still waiting for 7/8 done version :-)
oh yeah, why did I not fav' this one sooner?
woah I remember an earlier version of this one! This is gorgeous. The instrumentation is perfect.
if this were a crayon color it would be pensive purple.
poignant. Perfect title.
