It's from Berlin Dance Works -- music for modern dance. Dub, world.

hey boy, the waters calm and glassy
hey boy, the wind has died away
hey boy, the sun is up and rising
it's another, another perfect day
hey boy, better grab your pail and shovel
hey boy, and build your castle high
hey boy, don't forget the moat…

here, this place, the magic is all around us
feel, the breeze, carry away your sorrows
feel, the sand, warm and soft beneath us
see, the light, fading across the water
another day slips away
here, in paradise
touch, the water, cool and wet…

what is this darkness now, blurring out my eyes
can I hold this feeling before I'm lost in the night
holding on together searching through the gloom
who am I to blame now that we have lost the light
not the sky, falling, not the moon, again

tall drink of water, short blonde hair

sharp as a razor as right as rain
ask me again and I'll tell you the same
don’t forget her name, Melissa

then she crushes a cigarette…

no I won't eat of the body, no I won't drink of the blood
no I won't gather at the river, no I won't carry your burden
no I won't bath in the glory, no I won't bath in the glory
no I won't beg for forgiveness
yes you will
no I won't handle a serpent…

Haven't recorded anything in a while. Stuff busting to get out...

This was a 'bonus free download' from Berlin Dance Works/Stretch and Breathe Two (last year's work). More worldly dub, mixed on the fly, old style.

This is from Anima 91, a free download release that mostly featured re-workings of older tunes of mine... this was not 'old', but written in 2006 when it was recorded. It relates experiences I had in West Berlin during the 80s.

I'd just moved house, needed time off, sat with workstation and burbled a bit, ended up on Anima 91.

Music recorded 2005 then revisited (remixed?) for a dance score 2007 -- this is an excerpt from the middle section.

Who would’ve thought that the last 10 seconds would take me like an hour and a truck load of takes? And thank you Logic multi-take feature for allowing me to indulge so much time in something that was completely tangential to the song.

First things first... set your volume level to the first lightning strike that opens the track. Nothing is louder than this peak.
That said, this is a collection of sound I recorded by putting the mic near the open window as a thunderstorm rolled…

Just a quick Bump for the DJ Sathen on RKoL. Also experimenting with Reaper's built in synth for fun.
(For those who may not know: A 'bump' is the promotional "you are listening to.." parts a DJ plays between songs, and RKoL is the ShoutCast…

I've always wanted to make a sexy song, I think

You know that joke about the brick ambient synthesizer (http://possecrewensemble.com/as606/)? Yeah, I totally used that thing on this song.

This old piece was a first attempt at a soundtrack for a low budget thriller movie. I didn't end up scoring the whole thing, but I had a good time playing around.

1) pick up 15 year old guitar
2) tune it
3) trim fingernails
4) look for guitar pick
5) abandon search for pick
6) tune guitar again
7) browse through Logic channel strip presets
8) find "Mystery Chorus"
9) play simple melody
10) ???
11) PROFIT…

The synth line is with my brand new microKORG :D
The strange electric piano piece at the end I recorded when my brother accidentally discovered the debug mode on his Yamaha keyboard. Do you recognize what he's playing?

It's sort of about the music business, amongst other things. 2007. From an abandoned project.

This is a remix that I did in College several years ago. Based on the works of Flood who produced several prominant bands including U2 and NIN. I still like it today! Spread and enjoy...

This is a demo for the Rob Rokken Audio R-808m (beta-mono version) VST plugin. Nothing fancy, just a quick bit with a verbal descritpion (which uses the Rokken Audio CabAir(alpha version) plugin on vocals.)

F*ck yeah, I had some fun with this one.
I broke my brain today
It wasn't that pleasant hey hey hey
If I seem a bit confused
That doesn't mean my brain has been abused

After yesterday’s crazy-fun, flow-filled session, I returned to planet Earth.
