Music for taking on a big space thing. [more inside]
Crest
Short synth sketch made using a modular I’m slowly assembling from kits. [more inside]
Moving Walkways
It's a tribute to moving walkways throughout the United States and all over the world.
...And All Her Angels Are Wolves
The last – and melodically and harmonically my favorite – song on the All Her Angels EP. Guess the secret lyrics for the (instrumental) chorus! Or invent your own.
Happy Like a Hand Grenade
A fast, upbeat back-and-forth between piano and synths - the piano gets a little moody but the choruses are simple uplifting fun. It's track 4/5 on the All Her Angels EP.
Nice, Nice
It's track 3/5 on the All Her Angels EP and you can watch a play-through of it as a BeatSaber level too! Has some very pretty piano if I say so myself.
Whatever You Do (Don't Dance)
"It sounds like two forest spirits having a duet" – and it is track 2/5 on the All Her Angels EP.
Out of Metal and Wire
It's track 5/5 on the Hellish EP, and the highest tempo by a good measure, at a brisk 175bpm with it's own kind of groove.
Uncontrollable
A dance track that goes pretty hard! Your enjoyment might be enhanced by a very basic but very cute animation loop. This is Track 4/5 on the EP. [more inside]
Till The Bells Bring Us Home
High-energy synths and percussion with intertwining, anthemic melodies. (My love of Rush probably shows but it's a pretty straightforward tune.)
Chilliwack
This was a fun one to make. Basically one improvised take on a MIDI keyboard which is hooked up to 3 synths and drum machine, with a pad from a 4rd synth going on in the background. Piano and noise-wave crashes were added afterwards.
Using the JX-8P as a bass synth for the first time and gotta say....not too shabby!!!!!! [more inside]
Slopes
Analog synth rap beat!!
If I Can (You Can Too)
A pretty simple dance tune. I borrowed (well, adapted) a melody, I admit - but it was a 4/4 melody crying out to be in 3/4, and I wanted to set it right. This is track 2/5 on the Hellish EP.
Lush
Got an Arturia Keystep which means I can now program sequences on the JX-8P and baby it is a game changer!!!!!! Marimba sounds are from the Roland SC-88 which is MIDI'd up to the JX-8P as well.
Belkin
2 analogs synth looping together. Experimenting with CV connectivity to create syncopation.
Pressures Accumulating
This is a piece for (synth) strings, trumpet, and drums. [more inside]

The Beckoning Light on the Marsh
Dungeon/fantasy/forest synth again. You shouldn't follow the light! [more inside]
Sand Palace
A cheesy little synth funk tune that I made about a decade ago to accompany a presentation or something.
I re-discovered it this morning while cleaning up old files in a google drive.
Streets of Bakersfield [Buck Owens via Pete Kurie]
A ripoff of a cover. Check the cover version that I ripped off, it's great.
In a Silent Way

Over My House
3 analog synths, drum machine, vocoder
End Credits
slightly wistful outtro-style synth jam... you know what, this one goes out to Cortex!!!! Thanks so much for all you've done for us on here over the years and hope we'll still see some sick Cortex action on the black every now and again!!!

Driving music with some synth pad action

For JJ
Analog synth + vocoder
Ice Dance
Improvising on a synth loop
Energy Ladders
This is a piece that I recorded by triple-tracking myself playing an FM synthesis patch (the "twist" being that it has an extra cosine applied to the modulated signal) written in Pure Data. [more inside]
Interlude
Improvising with 2 synths and a drum machine (where it's at!!!!)
Inchoate Burbler
Some weird low sounds.
silhouettes
Cover of a Postal Service song. I'm pretty sure the song is ~actually~ about nuclear war, but the lyrics are weirdly appropriate for the pandemic. [more inside]
ZZ
Doing sort of a Deadmau5-style beat using an old drum machine (Korg S3). I used the noise wave on my Korg Monologue to create the little cymbal swells every couple bars (classic Deadmau5 trick which I have been trying to copy for a while using different methods). The pulsing synth riff is also kind of a Deadmau5 thing. It's weird - I'm not even that much of a fan of the guy but the handful songs of his that I've liked have clearly influenced me a lot.
deep end
Some minimal/deep house vibes. A very simple 4-track recording that was super easy and fun to make.
Bleep
