I’m very happy with this piece. The music and the “kinetic sculpture” work together like some kind of dream landscape.

Other studio pieces

pieces that didn’t make it on to the cd or anywhere else but which I still like.

Southern Hip Hop I always wanted to try something with banjo that was loose and southern sounding as opposed to what we normally associate with banjo playing.

Theme music imaginary theme music for an art radio show.

The Crossing The is from the last few pages of a Cormac McCarthy book. When I first read it I thought it would go really well with music so I tried it. My voice is not right for the part, though, so if you have a rich voice with a southern accent and would like to do it send me a recording of you reading it and I’ll use it instead of my voice.

Claire de Lune this is a Faure song I thought would sound nice with synth, sort of like Tomita but much simpler.

Yahoo Song    This is one of the first experiments I did when I got Digital Performer up and running. Banjo, Pro-53, Battery, Electric Piano, 8th grade boys yelling, and Jim Gillum doing some yeehaws.

Sci-fi story
This is one of the very first electronic pieces I did. Sounds very organic(insects etc.) contrasted with industrial sounds.  I showed it to my friend Stan and he made up a kind of sci-fi sequence of events to go with it. I'll try and post it.

Maria Wiegenlied   I wanted to see how electronics might blend with classical voice so I set this Christmas song by Max Reger to synth using only the Nova Laptop. Catherine Fishlock is singing.
