Dreampop demo. Put your shades on, hon. Going from a page in a notebook to a real song in three hours is magical, isn't it? I wrote the lyrics and suggested chord progressions and synth patches for this, but make no mistake, the performer (currently going by Cy Reign) is the songwriter.

In honor of the late Sonny Rollins, here are a few choruses of saxophone improvisation over the chord changes to one of his most famous tunes. Bass provided by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrkRWMvaoi0 (MrSunnybass) Sonny Rollins is one of my musical role models and finding out this morning about his recent passing hit me harder than I expected this sort of thing ever would. I ended up devoting...

Johnny Kidd meets Underworld north of watford junction i heard Johnny Kidd and the Pirates , Casting my Spell - and the vocals reminded me of carl hyde / underworld, so for fun ... born piratey lol

For Shakespeare's birthday, a song from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Lyrics: probably Shakespeare Arrangement, vocals and a small amount of dodgy piano: me Ye spotted snakes with double tongue, Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen, Newts and blindworms, do no wrong, Come not near our Fairy Queen. Philomel, with melody Sing in our sweet lullaby. Lulla, lulla, lullaby. Weaving spiders, come not here: Hence,...

been working on this all day. short and sweet banger/soother combination like a taco bell/cookout. y'all ever see one of those? ACTUALLY unholy. have a great night

This is a cover of the classic Sammy Fain tune done in a sort of synth bossa nova style with saxophone handling the melody This came about kind of by accident: I am currently working on a tune using the Alice In Wonderland chords changes and I had it up on my computer while I was practicing my saxophone so I decided to just record a chorus of the standard melody over my WIP track because why not?...

the post about Joy Division Transmission on the blue reminded me i made this a year or so ago .. neither a cover or interpolation - i just stole the line and made some vibey noise around it ... :) 70's crowd concert soundtrack version (YouTube link)

For my 75th song, I picked one I wrote like 20 years ago. Psycho-folk song about rejecting mass media and embracing local community. Seems more relevant now than ever, and certainly a bit of a love song to this particular community, which has never gone the way of algorithmic walled-garden nor AIslop. Inspired by the title Cobain originally gave Radio Friendly Unit Shifter . Lyrics in fold. Though...

My arrangement of the tracks Let X = X and It Tango from Laurie Anderson's 1982 album Big Science.

Pretty much just me being sad and angry on a saxophone for a few minutes

A little song about Prediction Markets.

and here is the last track of instrumental indiscretions

more incessant jamminess

Meandering electronics Modular explorations bringing together three instruments: a mannequins Eurorack synth on lead, a Make Noise Strega on pads, and a Serge modular for intermittent percussive sounds.

long weird spacey jamming instrumental

This is a data sonification of the amount of energy absorbed by the world's oceans between 1980 and 1989. For a given three-month period, if more energy was absorbed, the chord being played is denser and sparser if less was absorbed. The pitches are selected from the 11-limit tonality diamond. There's more about it in the "Info" section on the web piece , which plays 1970-2025, and on the Bandcamp...

It's like a movie soundtrack or something to listen to while meditating. 1. I had a deep need to make something sweet and innocent. 2. I wanted it to sound something like what Mark Mothersbaugh did in Life Aquatic. 3. In my imagination, it's two little space traveling beep boop robots encountering the mystery of life on Earth. Enjoy!

song made in ableton, credit for primary audio goes to LPC I was working on this song and accidentally imported the mp3 I had downloaded of Backyard Lasers lol. Ended up really liking the flow of the conversation over the music so I chopped it up. I hope it makes you laugh as much as I did while making it. Do you have anything with more of a *reel* action?

a medley of doom to finish off the album desolation in the middle of the freeway desolation in tombs of commerce desolation in the womb every weekday desolation an addictive curse desolation desolation in my world and on my street desolation desolation in my bread and in my meat desolation desolation the strong beg carriage from the weak desolation desolation the neon ship has sprung a leak desola...

as opposed to a one dollar general town, which might not be a town at all i live in a trailer in a two dollar general town and i guess i play loose in a two dollar general town and drink too damn much in a two dollar general town well i'll live and die in a two dollar general town well the preacher keeps driving his cadillac and the sheriff keeps having his heart attack but there's cheap beer, and...

what's sillier, that someone did this, or i wrote a song about it? well, you've spent your life in closure, chasing that old sun and you don't want the sunshine to know what you have done you're everybody's favorite as you run and run but i can see your airplane in the sky and it's so small well, the people down in nashville are treating you like a queen and the newspaper in vegas says your brilli...
