Decided to play around a bit with the individual files for "Quiet Table" so ran one part through a wah-wah effect and the other was given some reverse reverb; the whole thing was stretched three times. Also submitted to Sound-In "Intuitive Determinacy…

Unaltered recordings of a toy piano (the "quiet" bit), and a metal frame that appears to have been for the top of a patio table. Ok, maybe not *entirely* unaltered, as I did change the tempo of the piano track to make it closer in length to the…

I wrote this track with the intention of writing something for an LP, but it ended up not sounding anything like the vibe I had in mind for the album. Somehow it turned into a dark-trance song, who knew?

I tried to capture the spirit of Massive Attack's Mezzanine and infuse it with the works of Akira Yamaoka in the silent hill soundtracks. This was the result.

Recorded way back (early '80s?) on open reel tape. The mumbly voices are from whatever was recorded on there before, as it was a former CBC Radio tape. The "instrument" is one of those little slicers for hard-boiled eggs. Submitted to Sound-In…

Wasn't really planned that way, but listening to the completed piece made me think this could be what our little avian buddy on Mars might sound like to the locals. Same set-up as Kowanakita, but sound source is trombone. Also submitted to Sound…

More Roland SE-02 through EHX Stereo Memory Man. Entirely by chance knob-twiddling, this lovely sound emerged that often resembles bells, and so I titled it aftera method of playing popular in English churches - though it probably doesn't resemble…

this is fun sounds --- I get these sounds from digital delay settings I would tweak and the various ends of the time values for the delays -- so intense -- I usually do these types of delays with the feedback thru my vocoder inputs on the supernova --- this stuff is just great--- :)

I work strictly in improvisation, on whatever sound-making device finds its way into my hands. Anything tuneful is usually accidental, though I do on rare occasions manage limited success when trying it deliberately. Electronics are a frequent component but there is also a fair amount of strictly acoustic material.
