Here you will find some rough recording clips of music I've been working on, mostly recently but some from when I was a teenager in the late 90s/early 2000s.
This song is about the correlation of computer technology from the 90's with the economic decline in America since that time. "I want the familiar" and "now all we have are rules" are reflections on the increase in conservative attitudes in America today, particularly within software companies.
This is a regretful search for a leader, and the willingness to arise if none is found.
This was written, oritinally on piano, while I was in a psych hospital in 2011 for self-harming behaviour. The song is a reflection of the roots that have shaped me for worse and for better.
Most of the ideas that are challenging have a sense of loss that arises from what I thought was the same, but turned out not to be.
Content Warning This song is about the confusion and resentment that arises when someone you love believes they can hurt themselves, making the blame of who is hurting what you care about confusing. How do you beat up the people who hurt your friends, when it's your friends themselves.
This is a song about someone amazing who gets passed over and struggles to find the value they truly have.
These are a few songs I made in my bedroom around 1999ish as a teenager.
I was planning to make a bunch of music using a system I wrote, but didn't get there before working on other stuff:
Gekkota was intended to make music by writing computer code which generates sound data. Midi instuments would be used to generate organic melodies and patterns. Gekkota, the computer programming project, maps layers of patterns together to form instruments and effects.
