I got a mountain dulcimer for my birthday. This is first exploring. Created for this weeks Sound-In Event Textures.

This is a studio live rehearsal with Arturia MKII and FLStudio

Another Thumbjam thing inspired by Japanese Gagaku music

Another improv on the dulcimer. Creating for the new Sound-In event.

50/90 runs from July 4 through October 1. Three months. When I work on it I tend to break the project up into four pieces. Songs started and finished in each of the three months, and songs that cross between months. This is the only cross…

Pink noise setting on Mini-Moog that seems to be malfunctioning slightly (sweeping sounds shouldn't happen). Effected by running it through noise reduction, the profile of which was taken from sounds of a tenor saxophone. Right channel is a reverse…

always liked this song, hats off to Radiohead Cheers!
