splinter
more noughties breakbeat juvenilia [more inside]
Rhubarb Pancakes
A peppy major chord synth tune for the upcoming break. [more inside]
Migrane
A little melodic drone I made as I was coming out of the end of a migraine. [more inside]
Officer? I'm In A Band!
A jaunty (for us) Carbon 7 number from last August. I was making notes on my phone of little snippets of conversation to use as song titles. No clue how we got there, but it seemed hilarious at the time. Utterly improvisational. [more inside]
Magic Show
An upbeat instrumental piece. [more inside]
Here Come the Warm Jets
An arrangement of Brian Eno's Here Come the Warm Jets for modular synthesizer.
Pavane by Thoinot Arbeau
Renaissance music on synthesizer. I think Wendy Carlos would be offended if I called this an homage. [more inside]
A Five-Cornered Square
Another noodl-ey instrumental - the ingredients of this one are a guitar driving a synthesizer and a multiFX over a bed of soft-synths and drum emulator(s).
Strumulent
noodling around and playing with a guitar synthesizer and effects.
Resistor - Uni
An upbeat synthwave / retrowave instrumental. [more inside]
Astrophotographer
Carbon 7. Recorded March 9th 2013, the night comet Pan-Starrs first became visible to the naked eye in the northern hemisphere. [more inside]
Babies In A Blender
Posting something my late husband recorded when he was 17 in his memory. [more inside]
Cloud Ships
A mid-tempo piece, built around the opening drum riff. Carbon 7 is an improvisational jazz/space/rock trio that just makes it up on the spot. [more inside]
A Final Word From Our Sponsor
Carbon 7, plus guest Fred Mitchim on the flute. Making it up on the spot, as usual. [more inside]
Shadow Chamber
Carbon 7 again, making it up as we go, per usual. This one seemed to come from a slightly dark and empty space. [more inside]
Ouroboros
Carbon 7 again -- This was the opening salvo at our Solstice show last month. 10 minutes-worth of us making it up as we go. Recorded live at the Carousel Lounge. [more inside]
Ching Dong Boss
This is the Smoke Benders, coming at ya live from beautiful downtown Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. Featuring the amazing Numa Naoya on his amazing little drum kit and yours truly on original WaveDrum. And random hollerin'. Lyrics and embedded video here.
Oubervaltt
Further explorations in writing synthy songs. [more inside]
Focus Grasshoppers
I've been trying to write a new track every day. This is today's effort: an attempt at cheesy synth instrumentals. [more inside]
SynthXploration 1
If this jumps around a little, it's because I was just looking for a way to demo sounds from ZynAddSubFX. [more inside]
Giovanni Battista Cybo
Meet the inappropriately-named Pope Innocent VIII. Witch hunter. Innovator in the field of immolation. Simonist. Slave regifter. And don't forget about his army of bastard children placed the Vatican on the brink of financial ruin. [more inside]
Naomi Lullaby
A lullaby for my friends who had their first child on Christmas. Done in NanoStudio on the iPad.
Syscrusher - Between the Breath of Infinity (for he is the harbinger of death remix)
Song about the times between the expansion and contraction of the universe. Some quotes lifted from BSG. [more inside]
Syscrusher - Collapse of the Stars
Synth/Prog/Metal/Dance/videogamey song from a concept record about the end of everything.

Once Hardly Known
What happens when Farfisas, mellotrons, synthesizers, and the muddled sounds of a party get to play in the same room. A 60/40 combination of warm bendy melodies and sharp electronic determinism.
Syncopia
Tension-laden synth piece with analog elements. Expect ticking time-bombs, paranoid running at night, and an unseen enemy catching up with you.
Roto-Tom Synth Improv
My first and only improv drum recording...layered with my boyfriend's (the real musician) synth improv. [more inside]
Bloom
This is a short IDM-esque style electronic piece written in the fall of 2008. I was largely inspired by the idea of Klangfarben melodie, and tried to incorporate a lot of tone colors in the piece, especially by experimenting with modulating the LFO rates of the synthesizers to different degrees to create many different "colors" of the same basic sound [more inside]
Bicycle Factory in the Sky
Earnest synth music to soothe your soul. [more inside]
The Bothered Son and the Phony Ghost
An epic exploration into the applications of group vocals, plinky synthesizers, and personal religious doubt.
Quantum Mechanics
In the early 1990s I had a spare bedroom full of MIDI equipment (including a 16-channel mixer and various effect units) and I liked to noodle around with it. This is the only complete piece I ever produced. It's an instrumental strongly influenced by the likes of Tangerine Dream, the Alan Parsons Project, and Synergy.
Algorithmic
Written in 1992 (at age 14), for an after-school music theory class, using an iterative algorithm (on paper). Came out far too long - I should have exercised artistic license over the math a bit more. I really like the last twenty seconds, though.
Woman Reads A Beauty Magazine
Live improvisation on a Korg MS2000 with no editing, outboard effects, mixing, etc. Be warned: it's more than a little frightening.
