tuning: standard lyrics: i woke up this morning, and wanted to go back up for breath. intoxicated epiphanies, late nights, then lonely bed. regurgitation of all the day's long hard thoughts. then comforting silence in not having to think…

i should rename this track... there. it became the sound track to a short film i produced called "Ztileeb". a film i'd be happy to share with anyone should they wish to see it. i've often used self recorded ambient sounds in my tracks. this…

This is a re-do of the piano groove track from July 8. I've added a breakdown and a B part and for the most part, I'm pleased.

They built a boat  Carried you down to the riverside  Set it alight  Talked of regret, children played nearby  They played nearby                The image of you I can’t shake Hand raised, parting ways in the rearview  Smoke from the…

Well hot damn

Went to Bellow Falls today and hiked around a bit. It was beautiful and grounding.

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.

Reg has been reading the papers today and it seems like utter chaos out there since the circus came to town ...... and the world will never be the same again..... Nothing will ever be the same again The circus came to town today…

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…

(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…

Dian, you say the sun is going down But it's a ways across town I think we've got a little light left Dian, you say you miss me when we talk But I'm the only one who calls Ain’t it funny how that works out Dian, first your sister…

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.

Down in the blue where the coral trees sway, Lived a seahorse unicorn, sparkling all day. With a tail like a comet and a horn made of light, She glowed like a dream in the soft ocean night. She swam through the sea with a smile on her face…

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…

for an EP with "Wannantur"

This Single is for an EP with a pink combination of another song

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.

I decided to revisit my ambient side with this track. I was split on leaving it this way or adding voice clips. The ambient side won.
