this a blues tune I've been playing around with and last Saturday lyrics just starting popping in to my head. I did a demo of it. I'm going to try and flesh it out with some harmonica and bass. Thoughts on what else to do to it are welcome!

Ok I loaded this up previously, but after listening to the mix in the car I had to re-mix it. The wife says it's much better now.

it is icy. it moves. it is glacially inevitable. the listener may percieve tension. a desire to break free. a wish to increase velocity. it is impossible. it will proceed at its own pace. relax.

it is zajjy and offbeat. it is almost a tao of tonality. it is dizzy. it is not gillespie. do not follow its path too closely. it knows not its destination. generative music.

Second piece I did for the installation, one that was less altered and created more natural atmospheres.
Btw the cops came and got us, if thats not art success I dunno what is.

This sound was originally scored with a video provided by our professor, and the piece was longer, however I feel after the point that I have abruptly cut here, it gets a little lost.
All sounds are recorded and manipulated.

This is another song snippet from my experimentations with Reason 4.

I wrote this piece over the course of 2006. Though the majority was committed to paper during that year, the project continues to evolve every time I come back to it. I'm still struggling to find the perfect avenue to represent the composition…
