happy autumnal equinox everybody!

05 January 2010 Made with some of the oldest samples I have. They came with fruitypro 2.7 all those years ago.

This is a meditative space ambient track inspired by the Russian space station Mir and its dreamlike zero gravity atmosphere. The Russian word 'mir' means both 'world' and 'peace'.

Steppe tells an atmospheric story of the boundless plains of the steppes, reflecting Lena’s personal memories from the time she lived in the Russian part of Kazakh Steppe as a young music teacher. From album 'Songs of Vastness' (mt027).

It's pretty smooth. Go get your groove on.

This is an experimental track based on a binaural field recording from Schiphol airport. The noisy, effective and informative soundworld of a modern airport reveals here its dreamlike harmonies and hidden heartbeats.

A nostalgic jazzy piano ballad... it's a rainy night in Vienna.

Lena's daring piano takes the listener to a strange meeting with one's double.

Opening track of Vienna Blue album: ambient winter blues with a touch of Schubert.

updated- fixed some audio This one is a really rare song they jammed on once live. I sort of listened to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMFhjYdInBU&feature=related and then I filled in the blanks so to speak. (per the guitar…

my bands second rough song

a new composition based solely on a recording of my Still Life (1994) for solo clarinet, with Tasha Warren playing.

A flower for the day

Well, I had this crazy idea that *maybe* Buddy Guy was using some microtonal inflections in his cover of Tramp (which are what the "blue notes" are and thought it would be cool to cover it with my fretless guitar. As it turned out it was my ear…

Song for another friend

Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!

An experiment with recording keyboard improvisations and running them through Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch. Orchestra X-7 was just the seat I was assigned at a concert once.

This is a song about hope.

Track is from our concept album "The Tower of Rust".

This is a fictional song...I get asked this all the time and I don't want anyone thinking my dad did anything like this...got you covered pops! LOL! Anyway, it's a song about child abuse and that's a tough subject to tackle but I think I did it…

A live recording done in our studio in Tucson, AZ. This is one of the first songs that Kit and Chris ever wrote together.

Timestretched acoustic guitar, cicadas. A sonic tribute to Ray Bradbury, who turns 90 this Sunday.

Body Disconnected (2002) was written to accompany choreography by Lauren Lutrell. The process included importing video clips of dance movements into the music programs I was using and scoring music to them as one might with a film soundtrack…

opium bath awaits for those who can make it past 37"

Ring of Fire - lyrics by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash -1963. Slightly modified. This wasn't meant to be Ring of Fire but that's how it wound up. I have been wanting to trash Ring of Fire and the words just seem to fit this simple 1-4-5…

went ok for a while, but then..

A self-portrait in grunge. I recently got an electric guitar, so I'm testing the waters a little bit to see where I can use it. Electric instrumentation sure changes the way I approach multi-tracking, that's for sure!

Jack Merlot goes electric.

its algorithmic concentric melody and rythm

This is an absolutely beautiful song written by Jon Foreman for his side project Fiction Family and I felt like givin it a shot soo I just kinda learnt it and threw it together theres a few flubbups but they kinda workout well in the end enjoy :)

All music by Tyler Dedera. All vocals by Shanna Dawn.

A nice airy piece I wrote a while ago :)

Don't go to the streets Where they put you to the ground Where they put you to the wall And they steal your broken heart Don't go to the streets Where they say that it's ok Where they've seen it all before And they put you to the wall The hand…
