Little Dogs and Cats
Not much to say about this one. A composition in three movements.
Signal Chain: The usual for this time period. The Digitakt, Syntakt and Digitone were each tracked individually (mostly).

This one came oh so close to being mothballed. But it wasn’t. Almost moved on. Kept relistening and kept tweaking the mix. Hemmed and hawwwed. Was about to move on again, was given one last reprieve. I re-listened and learned to accept it
Glitch iiib?
When I pause to think about it, this disturbance, for I know not what else to label it, has been happening periodically for quite sometime throughout my adult life. The first time I can recall? I was sitting in a Medieval Literature class back in my undergrad days. Things momentarily

This one is different direction than more recent stuff.

For one, this piece feels like has multiple… movements? Some have the feel of really short songs? I guess it depends on how picky we are about the word ”song”. Whatever. Maybe the last one is more
Beware: The Creature on the Corner
I’m the man in the trench coat in a dark alley selling you something a little naughty… pedaling interesting but otherwise worthless shit on a digital street corner that consists of fancy little boutique shops. I stand just out of sight near the front door because the people who
Studies in Samples 1
Studies in Samples 1. It's pretty dark. No getting around that. Heavy times + dark moods= dark audio.
This one uses most of the same samples as are found in Studies in Samples 1B, but provisions a different result.
Signal Chain: Same as samples 1B.

Repeating weather events. These are the latest in a series of strange occurrences that suggest something is greatly amiss.
No, I am not talking about “Yeah, it sure is hot all the time.” OR “It sure snows a lot!”.
What I am talking about are repeating instances of the same…
Christmas Revisited
She came to the land
Fleeing political disorder
Gangs and criminals and things
And a desperate type of poverty
Crossing over the border
She left behind endless insecurity
Looking for a better life
Which she found in a land of over abundance
Life there was still hard and difficult
But

Social.
This is something simple that devolves into barely controlled mayhem. A slow build that moves into entirely different territory than those first few bars.

What about this?
This included more Digitakt II, Digitone II and a small snippet of Syntakt. Oh, yeah, the word salad is going through the SP-404mk2.
There is a fair amount of Mood II and some use of an Onward. The Habit was in use, but I kept its use pretty subtle and
Lost Letters 1
To Dearie,
I am taking a moment to chuckle at a recent sign that I indubitably have indeed been out of the corporate world. For quite some time might I add.
I just had to share.
Imagine this scene:
It is a pleasant early spring day in Minnesota. A woman
What happened to us?
Two independent tracks drive this creation. The first track was generated using a Digitakt II and a plethora of samples I created as well as some samples that were already onboard the box as it came to me off the shelf.
Digitone II synths are layered onto this track and
What do you do when Robots come for you?
Robots... and by extension the virtual abstraction of them that we carelessly labeled "AI" (without committee or academic rigor). And derivatives there of.
Thematically, this is a fairly straight forward track:
Robots are increasingly and forcibly present in our lives. And we appear increasingly powerless to limit them
