another attempt at short form deep techno a la some of my favorites...

Drums, guitar, bass, Microfreak set to say "Meow" through a bunch of pedals.

We're getting political with this one.

exploring the kinotone ribbons tonight. it is a pedal that emulates magnetic tape and all it's imperfections. here i start what a clean arpeggio and engage ribbons around 20s. throughout, we explore degradation, harmony and rhythm as the loops…

Beat Your Ass Like You're Talking Bout A Little Kid

Changed the approach a bit today: intended to blend a melodic line a third apart, but ughhhh. So, here's an improvised ebow line, copied then reversed, with some harmonics added. Still not satisfied with results, but am happy to have made three…

A quick attempt at some hypnotic techno a la deep bass..

(written for BC) Been a reflective and challenging couple of days. Pushing myself, balancing, grounding. Rinse and repeat. I appreciate the very supportive person in my sphere right now. Close your eyes. Feel the ocean's healing through this…

I AM Alone Chorus: Eternal Father, King of glory, Ever reigning from above! Forgive me, Lord, I once was blind, That I dared speak their names with Yours. You are I AM—the fire, the storm, The Shepherd, Lion, and the Dove. From everlasting…

Even in the struggle, we see affirmations.

It's very late and I decided to mess with some ambient guitar sounds. Now I'm ready for a nice dream.

a tribue to one of my favorite melodies. do you know it?

Day two of the Daily Two! I feel like I flubbed these drums. But I did the thing and that's what matters...

Two passes at a melody in Am, both duplicated, moved down a second interval and reversed. Hmmmm.

Anticlimactic jam in a time signature not yet known to man. Maybe 6/8

It takes a lot to get me going anymore Through Trials and Tribulations The needle drops into a dance I don't forget You've got a way of moving I'm twisted I'm twisted I'm twisted Around your finger

Easy to understand Digitakt test!

A single ebow line in G major, copied to new track and reversed, with some reverb and compression; added simple strummed acoustic guitar, recorded twice/doubled; canned drums. Recorded in Ableton. My idea is to record 5 days of ebow stuff like…

mikwaldigan liwlaldamana Returning to the language (Abenaki) is a remembering. A remembering of how the words have meaning, a remembering of how the words are part of our culture.

Everyone is writing songs inside their heads Waking up from sleeping in their unmade beds I cleared out space in springtime to make room for the fall I wrote you words of kindness, but I won’t speak them at all The kudzu choked the hillside…

Had a hard time to integrate the vox samples in this project but I like the result :-)

I've been told to keep going. This might be a challenging part of the journey, but a beautiful horizon is just around the corner. I'll stick to that. (written for BC)

Each demo is getting me closer to where I will eventually be to record the album. Drums are really coming together. The next demo will focus more on the rhythm tones. New cab mic coming... Verse I Morning light, spills on the floor Shadows…

True story. Christmas day, I met a black woman named Jesus living on the streets of Des Moines. I brought her water and she named me Water. Still, I find myself at the intersection of white guilt and white saviorism. To succumb to either is to…

A reflection on sound waves hitting the air around us. What does it do? How do we feel? Reverb pedal and guitar; EP-133 with samples from my bass guitar.
