Ochre
melty mono synth on the 1:43 / crunchy manganese beats on the rusty flip
Angeles
Ambient music, soundscape, something or other for the headphones. (more here)
my god it's full of
stars
A Conception Serene [rest for the wicked rmx]
The second in a series of songs i've remastered for a short [50 copy] run of my favorite tracks from 2002-2006. This one is a little more experimental and insomnia-fueled than the last one i posted, but not completely abandoning the previous emphasis on melody and atmosphere. See inside for more.
Star is Smiling
It's 7am, I've been up all night, I'm tearing my hair out, I don't have any cigarettes left, and I can't get this particular piece of code working.
What is there to do but write a song (and pray for cigarettes)?
Sanbian (Remix)
Plinky plunky pianoky. Lestrade.
A beginning and an end
This is the last part of my project Music for uncomfortable films.
West Sands
Ambient electronic.
Down with the Tempo
Alright. I used to think using GarageBand (and its loops) to make songs was "cheating". Then I started to use it. It's amazing how fun and easy it is, and you can really create some great sounding music. Here is my first downtempo song, entitled "Down with the Tempo". Enjoy!
Coils And Clocks
Whirring, humming, clicking, wheezing dark ambient/glitch, from my new album, Unseen.
Feebdack Ogry
Strong on feedback and complex drum patterns in quite the krauty way. Dissolves in a beautiful crystalline feedback ending.
La Mer est la Maitre
Ambient haunting seascape type piece. It's nice in an "I'm going to throw myself off the top of this cliff" type of way.
Chunky Ohming
A chunkier, clunkier version of Ohming with a coolcat intro thrown in, just for laughs. Hey, why not?
Perfect Gun
Some deep, plodding minimalist electronica. Another tracking effort. Even so, I don't think I constrained myself enough - I could probably leave some more beats out...
Freefall
A gentle work of cascading, synthetic glitch
My Baby You'll Be
I've been awake for days and the only option was to write some music. Some ambient electronica to help you (and me) sleep. (The title refers to this story.)
Farside
A visit to a place with many layers, shades of light, colors. Whose woods these are, I do not know.
Nobex 0.1 (Mechanics)
So, this is another old tracker piece. A little bit ambient, a little bit kick-ass beat. I don't recall the circumstances under which I composed this song beyond that it was a remix of a song I made whilst on meth. For the one and only time. At any rate, it makes for nice background music. And it features my first ukulele, which was eventually lost to an apartment fire.
Apidae
The bees argue, in their black ball,
A flying hedgehog, all prickles.
The man with grey hands stands under the honeycomb
Of their dreams, the hived station
Where trains, faithful to their steel arcs,
Leave and arrive, and there is no end to the country.
MA:46 - cloud factories
This is an "ambient" song with lots of abuse of delay and reverb, but I made an effort to give it more structure than your typical formless synth-gasm.
Ohming
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
Zbeat 2
Reprising the first version of this track, with a bit more zip at the end...
Empty Spaces
Dark ambience with strange, swelling synths. Okay, I admit it, I can't even remember recording this track.
Transformer Coolant
A bubbling, stewing morass of evil electric noises
Zbeat
Quiet beats, with details hidden underneath blankets of filters
Cutmix
An improvised minimal techno song I made last night using a Gameboy and delay pedal, it has been cut down from the original 30 minutes to a slender 7 minutes. Enjoi!
Requiem for a Kitty
It is told that Buddha, going out to look on life, was greatly daunted by death. "They all eat one another!" he cried, and called it evil. This process I examined, changed the verb, said, "They all feed one another," and called it good.
Cascade
Protein deformation and signal transduction in exponential cascades.
How To Fight Loneliness
Cover of a gorgeous Wilco song. This is an extremely spartan interpretation. You may need to turn your volume up.
Scratchdance
Itchy, skitchy and glitchy
Drone - 2005.03.29
Here's one of my earlier experiments in drone music. It's electric guitar, played live through delay, fuzz and volume pedals.
Fragrance
Oozing, wistful, nostalgic - a forgotten memory impossible to let go, impossible to hold
Monkey Monkey
Join Sir David Attenborough and I as we imagine spying on a simulated digital troop of capuchin monkeys in South America, whispering in hushed, yet excited British tones about their adventures in the tropical simulacra...
The Earthquake was a Disaster
Picture yourself experiencing an earthquake in slow motion. The eerie calm beforehand leading up to the main event itself. Relax and let yourself live through this instrumental story all the way to the finale.
Sprinkled with memories of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
Wulne
Damaged circuits, dripping through a reverse vortex.
Discrete Tasks
Wavering, glitchy, moody beats.
Flutetronica
An ambient-ish piece composed entirely of processed flute samples. I go by the name Tx-Rx for the electronica type stuff I do occasionally 'cos, you know, it's fun to have multiple musical personae.
Complex Reasons
A hauntingly mellow groove highlighted by Sylvia Plath's "Mushrooms" as performed by the poet herself.
Space 2
A short journey between the stars
Entropy
I love evolving a feeling or a story out of feedback. This uses the free DFX Transverb plug with Ableton Live, where I set up various send channels to feed on and eventually destroy each other.
Bed Concours
A song recorded with composer's own girly operatic vocal loops and swelling orchestra—in the vein of Steve Reich and Philip Glass
Bone Music
Is it melodic? Is it percussive? Is it industrial? Is it ambient? It is a mystery! A noise-filled mystery.
(For further mysteries, look here.)
SkyTrain
A sketch of a sunny, bouncy ambient-ish track I Fruitylooped a month or so ago. I may actually completely rewrite it, or something similar, now I have access to a Jupiter 8, and can take my Boards Of Canada / Kraftwerk thieveries to more convincing levels....
Engine Soundtrack
An early (circa 1999) experiment with fuzzed out guitars and a super-compressed mix, pushing ambient towards industrial. Psycho-shoegazer?
take this pain
It's a slow starter, and once it gets going it's incredibly repetetive. But, uh, I like it that way. Features moi on vocals (through a simulated guitar amp) and all instruments.
Infetu - Anaesthesia
A cinematic soundscape featuring spatters of noise and vocal presence detailing an extra-terrestrial probing session.

Waltzing with a Jamaican Hypnotist
It's not strictly a 3/4 waltz, but its steel drums help it sweep gracefully across the floor...
Jam
Jamming on a keyboard, with a few patterns running around in the back
Tram
A sleepy ride on a tram in pre-reunification Dresden, waking with sudden clarity
we all have disguises (live edit)
This is a song that was done live on 6/26/2006 at an afterparty here in detroit. the venue was stucco's warehouse. Listen as my audio buffer dies at the end. A proper version will probably come out someday.
