Just a quick Bump for the DJ Sathen on RKoL. Also experimenting with Reaper's built in synth for fun. (For those who may not know: A 'bump' is the promotional "you are listening to.." parts a DJ plays between songs, and RKoL is the ShoutCast…

First things first... set your volume level to the first lightning strike that opens the track. Nothing is louder than this peak. That said, this is a collection of sound I recorded by putting the mic near the open window as a thunderstorm rolled…

Who would’ve thought that the last 10 seconds would take me like an hour and a truck load of takes? And thank you Logic multi-take feature for allowing me to indulge so much time in something that was completely tangential to the song.

Title track from "Spirit Dwelling" 2005 -- a lot more acoustic work going on then. 8 track recording.

Music recorded 2005 then revisited (remixed?) for a dance score 2007 -- this is an excerpt from the middle section.

I'd just moved house, needed time off, sat with workstation and burbled a bit, ended up on Anima 91.

This is from Anima 91, a free download release that mostly featured re-workings of older tunes of mine... this was not 'old', but written in 2006 when it was recorded. It relates experiences I had in West Berlin during the 80s.

This was a 'bonus free download' from Berlin Dance Works/Stretch and Breathe Two (last year's work). More worldly dub, mixed on the fly, old style.

James Brown and Planet Rock combine to form a mutant dubstep lovechild of a track

Haven't recorded anything in a while. Stuff busting to get out... Here's one of the ideas I'm playing around with.

An ode to quarreling lovers everywhere. instrumentation: clapping drunken singers (3) clarinets (2) banjos (2) piano resonator bass harmonium

no I won't eat of the body, no I won't drink of the blood no I won't gather at the river, no I won't carry your burden no I won't bath in the glory, no I won't bath in the glory no I won't beg for forgiveness yes you will no I won't handle a serpent…

tall drink of water, short blonde hair flash you a smile like she just don't care sharp as a razor as right as rain ask me again and I'll tell you the same don’t forget her name, Melissa boys come running when she's around then she crushes a cigarette…

what is this darkness now, blurring out my eyes can I hold this feeling before I'm lost in the night holding on together searching through the gloom who am I to blame now that we have lost the light not the sky, falling, not the moon, again not…

here, this place, the magic is all around us feel, the breeze, carry away your sorrows feel, the sand, warm and soft beneath us see, the light, fading across the water another day slips away here, in paradise touch, the water, cool and wet…

hey boy, the waters calm and glassy hey boy, the wind has died away hey boy, the sun is up and rising it's another, another perfect day hey boy, better grab your pail and shovel hey boy, and build your castle high hey boy, don't forget the moat…
