I'm grateful for balance. Yarrow showed up today in a field and I was reminded of the balance I have to continue to strive for.

Worries Never Win Verse 1: Worries have never solved The things that ache my heart. Pacing the midnight floors, Only pulled me apart. Tried to fix it all alone— But I was sinking fast. Then I heard a still, small voice: “Child, this…

I was reminded again yesterday of a responsibility to the language, to the culture, to ourselves.

patience. practice. review. repeat.

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

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…

Even in the struggle, we see affirmations.

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

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

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.

I Stopped at One Chorus: I tried to count my blessings one by one, But I stopped at one—for You are enough. You're all I need in this life; You lift me when I'm down. You walk with me through the rain—such a loving friend. Verse 1: I…

Bind My Heart Verse 1: Here I am—did You call, Lord? In the still of night, my heart hears Your voice. Forgive me, Father, for running once more. Bind my heart, my feet, and desires to Your humble throne. Chorus: Lord, You are my peace…

Recorded in Reaper with actual instruments mostly. Drums are virtual because I'm no drummer. Never played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express(tm) last night. It ended up being about heckling.
