This is a very confident piece. It’s deeply engaging without needing to consistently add elements as it goes along. It uses what it needs to great effect. Excellent!
I’d been experimenting with Euclidean rhythms for a while when the modular synth plugin Bazille was released by u-he.com. They seemed like the perfect match.

A demo track for a new Reaktor instrument I'm building codename: Mimetron.
Loop Guitar 1 is a long, flowing, ambient piece. Mellow with a few moments of grit.
Mimetron is a 3 voice sampler that is driven by incoming audio. It has 3 channels…
A mix from two very different sources that just seem to work well together.

Here is a John Lee Hooker Song that Buck and I used to sing in Duluth. We were playing in a group called *"THE LARRYS"*
I love Bucks harmony on this!
I moved away a couple years ago, and Buck stopped by for a visit last Friday. As you can…
A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
This is the first track made with my new Reaktor instrument 'Super Scanoid' which might just have well been named '1950s Sci-Fi Soundtrack Generator".
The sounds it makes with this sample (a bouncy pizzicato cello) reminded me of the score from…
This piece, like most of my music, is fairly quiet and pensive. It uses a lot of ostinatos (repeating patterns) as a way to unify the piece and create almost a mantra type of effect.
I experimented a little with how I built the chords in the…

Sounds cool like one is in a dream state. Nice effects used.
Very nice, but all too brief. Reminds me of the short pieces on Eno's Another Green World album.
nice stuff
This is a very confident piece. It’s deeply engaging without needing to consistently add elements as it goes along. It uses what it needs to great effect. Excellent!
I like it. It's simple and effective. Abstract yet straight forward. It just makes sense to me!
Love the timbre of the wooden "drones" & the overall urgency of the piece.
Very cool. The percussion and chimes play off each other nicely.
love it
Not sure what to say, but this one just hit the spot.
Clear, fluid, immersive. Love the dynamic FM and twinkly stuff. 8)
very cool; I could imagine a notated chamber version of this as well.
Man i love this. multi-layered & psychedelic..
Does just what it needs to do.
Fantastic. Simple, subtle, brief, but it hits all the right spots.
I love the flow, nice buildup, very breezy and restrained.
Very Interesting
Love it!

interesting...I like it.
Milkyway trip trough my thoughts...love this.

Yes, a wonderful take on this.
Exactly!
Yes, gorgeous voicings!
I listened to this again last night -- a lovely piece!
Never thought I'd find a way to use the words funky and ethereal in the same sentence (especially around Halloween), but this is it -- nice work!
Very nice work, I love the way the ambience flows. Also the Reaktor ensemble looks like a nice piece of programming.
The juxtaposition is truly fascinating!
One of my favorite John Lee Hooker songs!
Very nice -- and amazing work with ThumbJam!
Wonderful photos and soundtrack.
One of my favorite, neglected Monk tunes.
Very nice -- unhurried, wonderful harmonies.
Wonderful!
Very nice, laid-back feel.
Very nice!
I really like this -- especially the vocal-like sounds, were they synth or sampled? Did you do it all with your MIDI guitar controller?
very nice blues -- maybe the mood will resurface ;)
nice ;)
I really enjoyed this piece.
Very nice laid-back feel!
