This song was written on the playa, Thursday, August 19th, 2024, sometime in the early daylight hours. I had wandered into a Piano Bar Camp and persuaded one of their folks to let me play their grand piano. I quietly started playing some ambiance in D major scales with the a sustain pedal when a young couple walked in. He asked to play drums- yes- and his female friend asked me to write a song. We...

Rediscovered this song from my first album "Turbine Time" while doing archival work with my back catalog. Remastered it, as the vintage data wasn't up to contemporary audio standards. This was created with my live midi-based techno rig, a few years before the laptop era and before the 'dawless' term came into use. I'm fairly certain this was tracked at the studio of Scrappi DuChamp, as it features...

I'm in this band in Las Vegas called "DJ Dad Shirt." We are having a remix contest for "Feel the NIte", the opening song on our album "Wait to Cross Fourth Street." I created a test entry, here it is. Contest deadline is December 15, 2019.

Abstraction of inspiration from television. An improvised live recording with new loops on a spacey theme. Recorded from balanced XLR stereo direct into a ZOOM Handy Q8, quite literally in my bedroom. DAWless jamming, no computers used in the live performance or live recording of this work.

An extemporaneous performance of the classic cowboy tune made famous by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. This was done at mic check for my appearance on the WOKE AF podcast, and wound up being the intro to a wide ranging interview focused primarily on the release of my Sci-Fi novel "D". Host Johnny Fuentes and I talk for a little over an hour on topics including Artificial Intelligence, self-pub...

A home demo from December, 2003 that never made it onto any of my albums and never was added to the repertoire of any of my bands. I've always liked this one, which has been lost in time. One take, one mic. Image is an illustration I made at the same time on the same topic. Maybe Someday E A D 2x: E D C#m Bm Maybe someday I'll light up the sky for you G A D-C#-B Just like that other guy does E D C...
