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…

wow, 10 days!! I legit can't believe it...

(written for BC) This full moon. Loving respect, kindness, and a great spiritual power came up in one of my readings this morning. I'm grateful for that being present.

channeling my inner Daniel Lanois here

just trying to get reacquainted with ableton

I made this in Ableton from piano bits I'd created a while ago.

Sleepy loops.

I’m a shadow in the evening light Fading slow into the night Will my name echo through the breeze Or vanish like whispers in the trees Will you still remember me when I fade When the colors of my face begin to shade Am I a story that time…

On my way home By that lonesome graveyard A ghost jumps up and says Come here won't you be my man Wasn't a ghost at all Someone asking for a ride Wasn't a ghost at all Someone asking for a home Said boy come here And take me to your…

Well hot damn

Learn to Stall 1 So your water is cold You’re probably hiding something  So if I ask you to stay - just go You’re the gift that keeps on taking   2 Why are you asking me? What do I know? Everyone was young once But nobody knows it…

Subtle change of gray light Heart breaks in sync with the sky As it cries over open fields and tall stands of pines, their delight No weight to the world they rejoice Heavy lids, can't sleep Head like a hornet nest, a buzz with bees…

it's fuzz and it's delay but it's more folk + 90s alt rock

I saw jack-in-the-pulpit and I knew I belonged And I felt every sermon and I held every song O The trees creaked and shifted as they turned and dropped their leaves And I pulled an empty bottle and I held it to the breeze. Oh this one life…

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

synth version

This is yesterday's track, back to the original melody with cross-picked guitar added (oy! that was tough). I see the template for a proper song now, and over the coming days I'll add to this and I hope to end up with something...

Not wanting to leave a tranquil place as a metaphor for not wanting to go back to anguish. My lyrics, ai demo.

A day in the life of a common cat

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…

Last of the five-day experiment in intervals. Again, my friend Ebow was acting persnickety, as is its wont (I'm sure I have nothing to do with it), and the result includes some abrasive string rattling. I like the melody of the original recording…

saturdays are for techno

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

To me this is one of my best Tracks.....yet.... :-) The Kick comes from a PlugIn called "Kick Ninja"! What a great PlugIn! Also I'm really starting to hate my AI generated garbage profile pic but alas, I have not a single gram of talent in…

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…

disintegration loop recorded with voice memo

The screams!! The screams!!

The ebow gods were fickle today. Anyway, here's a melody, copied to a new track, then I raised the original track two steps, and lowered the duplicate track two steps to create a fourth interval. I tried also adding reversed tracks but it was…

patience. practice. review. repeat.

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

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…

(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…
