"A very interesting and curious phenomenon happened. I can only regard it as a jest. White coral islands in a dark blue sea. Sand blown by the sirocco. Luminous clouds of hyacinth flakes. Iron and stones that fall from the sky. Vast things…

“These bleats of pedantry should be regarded as respectfully as we regard rag dolls that keep infants occupied and noiseless. “Millions ruled by a small band of esoterics. “The great difficulty that authoritativeness has to contend with is…

“We have complained a great deal. At least we are not so dull as to have the delusion that we know just exactly what it is that we are complaining about.” – Charles Fort, The Book of the Damned, 1919 Live drums, real bass, MIDI key loops…

“White coral islands in a dark blue sea. Luminous clouds of hyacinth flakes. Jet-black snow and hailstones flavored like oranges. Pink snow, flakes the size of saucers. “Vast things poised like crows over the moon. Dark shadows crossing…

“There doesn't seem to be anything to discuss. A needle that no one ever lost, in a haystack that never was. “We've been damned by giants, sound asleep. Things that are leprous to the faithful. Things that deep-sea fishes are bumped by…

I drift through tangled simulated frameworks and kaleidoscopic pixels, the simulation breaking down into a series of patchwork islands on a fractal sea. There is the faintest din of activity from the navigation system, but I'm in no shape to act…

The mindlink to the holographic array is in critical condition. I'm working with an ion refabricator to repair the apparatus, while simultaneously keeping tabs on the Generation Ship itself through a parallel link to the navigation system. Sparks…

The loud din of clarions echoed through the halls of the Generation Ship, which had undertaken significant damage. While I was lost inside the holographic array, the ship had pulled into a stellar active zone. The automated navigation attempted…

Short MIDI piece inspired by one of our sweet cats. :)

Created using MuseScore 4 and an instrument from the LABS collection. Bits and pieces reminded me of the old Tron video game, so the name of this one was almost "Arcade".

DAW plugin drums, live guitar and bass. I don't really hate everything. Mostly just the sound of my own voice.

Input the chord sequence from a Spice Rack Collective song I wrote on guitar, converted a bass take from that song into MIDI, added a couple of VSTs, programmed some drums, and added some royalty-free voice samples I found online somewhere. Pretty…

Created in Reaper using the Fission A instrument set from Triple Spiral Audio.

This is in some boring typical genre. I just can't figure out which one. Perhaps Wiccan dances for epileptics? Not sure. In Cold Hell, in Thicket is a microtonal musical setting of Charles Olsen reading his poem in 1950 as provided by PennSound…

This December was more somber and complicated than usual, so just I threw some ambiguous chords into an old VCV Rack patch and didn't bother trying to track down or fix the discordant foghorn tone that crops up a couple of times. I wish I could…

As has become a habit, I threw together a VCV Rack patch at the last minute based on a couple of YouTube tutorials.

Once again, waited till the very last minute, played around with a couple of new-to-me apps on my iPad, and sent the resulting noises through some plugins in Reaper. Fun stuff!

VCV Rack patch reacting to an audio field recording. Cheers to Omri Cohen for the excellent patch walkthrough!

Trial run after rearranging some electronic doodads on my side desk, most notably the pictured Drone Stack and HypnoDrone from Kaiser Electrical Instruments in lovely Duluth, MN. Recorded at the end of a rare week-long ice event in north Alabama.
