in a round about way we are back where we started because we didn't care enough to just do what was needed when it was clear that we needed to do it and we just thought about our selfs.

"Annulus Pneuma" is a meditation thinking about circles and feedback loops with what you put in having a direct relationship on what come out for and extended period of time often creating new ideas within the ideas that didn't exist when the first idea was created. Audio wise thinking in circles this is 2 separate sequences running at different lengths sequencing one voice so that the sequence is repetitive while morning over time. Video wise I focused on airless shapes and a bigger feedback loop within the circle to ultimately shape this video in a controlled but unpredictable manner and slowly progressed the visuals as I created the song concurrently.

This is a meditation thinking of original thoughts and thinking and how of then as you grow you have a parallel thought that you would of ben totally agents when you first started this thinking and hadn't had the time and or experience to change. This video a video I shot  @Olympic National Park  Mink Lake, a field recording at a location that I cannot remember where, and a live modular audio performance(a friend Validine Chronus herd and saw an early version and decided to send over a simple yet fitting synth part so I added it and it worked wonderful and fell into the working in parallel theme). Video shot on September 26, 2018 in Washington at Mink Lake Olympic National Park.

This is another meditation on togetherness and thought of somewhat like how a guitar works having strings that are all in a separate space but work together polyphonically and when in sync the strings vibrate and become almost intoned together while still keeping there own frequency.

This is a meditation with the @Instruō arbhar and thinking about togetherness and how much we could all use a solid dose of it right now.

I have been thinking a lot about how sound things are for both the self, the people around, and the place we are, all focusing more and more outward especially with all thats going on and seeing peoples actions of not thinking of anyone but themselves and disregarding the community, old, young, unfortunate, animals, public spaces, and our whole existence. Ultimately coming back to how sound everything is when its all a relationship held together by fragments, happy accidents, and marvelous wonders. While all this things are great it's not that sound and not that lasting and easy lost with the thinking that its uncomfortable to put thinking that puts others and places infant of your own comfortability.

This is a meditation on not over thinking it and with that...

This is a meditation with thoughts and feeling of embracing the special time spent with one and or ones we love to love and the sensual pleasures we can achieve when we are all functioning asymmetrically and the time we spend when our asymmetrical timing meet to create beauty, symmetry, love, desire, sadness, lust, euphoria, comfort, relaxation, and other comma etc with the one or ones or self we chose to be our other and or others and or self and how we choose to experience and worship this coveted time.

With my newer music I have been putting a focus on meditation as a process and as a final result and in that regard Pathwaves was created sitting in my living room at night sitting infant of the fireplace with the limited time I have to create music and is inspired by thinking of a visual pathway and or a pathway for you life thinking, moment, and turning that into audio waves slash video waves to help procure a state to help begin some meditative thought. Pathwaves was recorded live in my living room using a Korg Poly-800 played into a Monome Norns ruling the MLR script that allows you to perform sequence and loop audio all at the same time utilizing the Monome GRID for control while the video was made in 2 parts with the 1st part created by Justin Howard doing live liquids and the 2nd part was me doing video synth stuff independently from what Justin was doing wile never seeing each others work and then overlaying them together to create the final audio visual video.

Audio made with Norns zelleen recording different sequences strait to the tape then loaded up and jumbled around in MLR while being recorded into Ableton for clean up and a little editing. Video was made from a longer late night session with my modular video synth with endogenous tones structure being the star of the show wile being fed other modules. I have found great enjoyment making music and visuals together as a form of meditation for myself…especially since I have put little to no focus on using percussion in songs so I hope that you could enjoy this also. Its kind of like running a program for your brain that will make you feel more relaxed after you visually downloaded it into your psyche. Thanks have a great day.

This is an audio visual meditation that I created with my modular on 2019.10.08.

From idea to reality postcards from slow places was a project conceived on llllllll, pronounced lines, a forum of like minded creators. An open call to the community asked for ambient long form compositions to build a purposefully long album. No one would be turned away and it was up to you to interpreted and create what you thought was an ambient long form composition. postcards from slow places is 34 hours long and is comprised of 55 songs each from a different artist.

Some notes from my video/song The Hue of Q.

I started in Ableton at work on my lunch break and used a lot of max for live devices to create to program cords and arps in a in a particular scale and heavily lfo ed lfo's into lfo's into perimeters with the operator being the source of the sound. I did this over and over across a week and took the content and cut it up and arranged it. I then took the project home and moved what I created into Ableton and ran it through some delays and filters and laid it down on a 4 track. I then did one full improve track over it with a korg polly 800 ran through my modular to add some extra movement to the polly 800's pads. I captured this all back into Ableton to mix because and do some light mastering. I focused mostly on tonality and shape of sound. After completing the song I created a sort of generative visual video for the whole song. The amplitude/frequency of the song is leading particle generators around the frame and feedback is creating a vortex, and there is also added randomness with hue and other setting. I am launching that tonight for all the lovers out there.

This is Continuous, my sixth full length album. The A-side is a loose exploration of ambient minimalist sounds and themes. All composed on my Sequential Prophet-6 and Korg Poly-800, with a Moog mf-104 and recorded on a Portastudio 424 mkii. The B-side is a series of 3 new songs made out of my “Music for Aquariums” experiment. They were created by taking extended modular ambient songs and reforming them into upbeat-on-the-grid songs. The B-side has a polar opposite feel to the A-side. The 4th track is an off-the-cuff jam session that I just happened to be recording.

Continuous has a physical release with a limited edition lenticular print cassette released by Aerozine50 = https://robotboot.bandcamp.com/album/continuous

This is the Visual Album for Continuous. It relies heavily on a generative video process with Tachyons + gear, LZX Industries video synth, video mixer’s, and filming a old Sony CRT monitor. It is a psychedelic audio visual experience full of color, alien landscapes, microorganisms, lakes, clouds, creatures, etc.

I went on a magical trip to the Olympic National Park in 2018 from September 21st to October 1st. I took my camera and zoom recorder and managed to grab this video and audio. I then scored a song to a bit of a sped up version of the video. I was taken back by the tall trees and the forest floor with the sun rays coming through. Just an hour before we wear at the destination of out hike Mink Lake and saw a black bear and decided to leave early. Turns out we lucked out and got to enjoy this beautiful view.

This is a generative video produced to my song Biofluorescence. The song and video where recorded separately. Both are one live take. This song is from a release that will be coming out in the future. It is an exploratory track with sounds inspired by: Floating in space with limited oxygen. As floating we first contemplate but then we accept and then we see the true beauty of what is the abyss that is open space. We float into places that humanity has never been, seeing things that are precise sparks of life. We then realize how un special we are and wonder why we do not embrace all the details that make us unique from each other. As we end our journey we come across a new form being created. it is some kind of tiny biofluorescence organism that seams to be reproducing at a rapid rate and are all vibrant colors of the rainbow. We now think how lucky we are to have seen the creation and how lucky we have always been.

The video was created with a feedback loop with lots of help from Tachyons+ Psychenizer. I messed around for a good hour trying to get something going and right before i gave up and fell asleep these patterns started generating.

Thanks for stopping by. Please ask me anything.

Music for Aquariums is a new a/v project I am working on that will go off the grid and feature sounds that you might here on your journey to the depths of the ocean and places beyond…

This song is what I imagine it looks like when all the cuttlefish hang out and do what they want. This song was created on my modular with a patch that was inspired by the camouflage and color changing of the cuttlefish. I then thought of how many cuttlefish meet up at one time in the ocean and then I instantly stated thinking what the all start doing with their colors and camouflage while there are all together and this is what I thought that would look like. Youtube can't even handle the amount of color and cool gradients that would happen.This video is kind of like looking at the clouds but your in an ocean looking at cuttlefish: dancing, moving, oscillating: all together in harmony symmetry mixed with random generated life. Think of the aquarium as place where you can be you and everyone likes that you are you because everyone there is not like you.

This song makes heavy use of my wish mosh of a modular that is 416HP. I created the main cv for the music with Intellijel Metropolis as the main heart of the sequence in conjunction with Verbos Electronics Sequence Selector and a bit of generative going on to ad just a minor variation. The main gates are being provided with a vpme.de Euclidean Circles running into the Doepfer A-166 with is using the Intellijel Quadra + Expander to the Make Noise Optomix for the main sounds that are coming from a mix of Mutable instruments Plaits, Sputnik Modular Oscillator, Make Noise DPO that are all sort of feedback patched, the Quadra also had internal feedback patching and is also controlling tonality of the song though cv parameters. There was also a Make Noise Morphagene that was working of the main music source and also being sequenced with the help of the Verbos Electronics Sequence Selector signal selector and the Mutable instruments Blinds(with was helping with a lot of the CV in general). Befaco Hexmix + Hexpander are on mixing duty and has 3 separate AUX sends set up 1) 2x Alright Devices Chronoblob with a Xaoc Devices Kamieniec. 2) 2x Suiseki Phase Shifter with μClouds. Some modules i forgot to talk about that are used: Make Noise MMG, Doepfer A-120, Sputnik Modular Selector, Steady State Fate Entity Bass Drum Synthesizer, Make Noise Maths.

Special thanks to the Visual by Justin Howard.

About the project: Music for Aquariums is a new Album i am working on that will go off the grid and feature sounds that you might here on your journey to the depths of the ocean floor and back.

About The song: I have been working on some music for aquariums. This one goes on after hours when the sea creatures that emit light come out. Usually only the janitor is there but they are wearing headphones and preoccupied to see the sea creatures that emit light. About the creation: a handful of oscillators with 3 looping AD Envelopes modulating each other along with some live tweeting created the "rhythm" The slowest AD envelop was clocking the sequencer. Live tweeted a couple filters. ran it trew a couple of reverbs and delays. Put a phaser in there somewhere. Used some lowpass gates for the VCA. I then gave the song to a friend and they did a liquid light show for the visuals and it is basically a short visual film.

This video is a simple feedback loop that I made in a live take for my song Porta 002 from my album Porta. The Album Porta is a collection of songs I recorded on a Tascam Portastudio 4 Track Cassette Recorder in 2016. These where all written and recorded in a short amount of time. Focusing on a cinematic vibe and playing live takes with no editing or sequencing. All analog sounds and processing.
