Working Man Blues
Thoughtless AI Image You have a day job and you hate it. You even hate yourself for having a day job. You hate yourself for not being a proper musician. All this talk of easy money as a musician + freelancer has you thinking you can quit and be a full-time, professional musician. After all, … Continue reading Working Man Blues
The Lonely One
The Lonely One is a song cycle - or sorry, a tone poem cycle. We follow, very loosely, a person who is not like everyone else - a Neurodivergent Individual, if you will. I am, however, refusing to fall into the oh woe, they need to change for me or I'll lie here in a … Continue reading The Lonely One
Between Here & the Future
All that stands between now and then is time. Between Here & the Future is a set of five minimal pieces themed: Time and How We Feel It.

Roads
Let's go on a road trip: down to San Fran then on to see some girls, girls, girls at the Strip. We'll cross the pond to drive by the seaside, march on Paris, and get totally lost outside Atlanta. We'll get worried and depressed in the dark & rain, then leave the planet. https://youtu.be/P7WEMDcVYn8 Roads … Continue reading Roads
Errepici + JINA Collab “The Story Of Me”
We heard a few of Mario's Errepici songs on a forum and expressed interest in a possible collaboration. It seems that he had been asking for a year or so for someone to work with on this song, but no takers. The song was cool, the robot vocal, not so much to our ears. We … Continue reading Errepici + JINA Collab “The Story Of Me”
For What We Are Enabled
This is one of those times when I feel the less said the better about the record. It is not from disinterest, quite the opposite as this was a very trying time with several losses. These pieces reflect that but are not meant to be dark, or drear in tone. The naming is a bit … Continue reading For What We Are Enabled
The Twisted Reality of Social Media Groups & Forums
I have been active in musician Forums & Groups since the late 90s. They can be wonderful or just brutally traumatizing. Increasingly the latter. Maybe the former for a few days, or hours. But trauma is more the reality if you care about anything. Don't be offended, but... Here is some of an exchange with … Continue reading The Twisted Reality of Social Media Groups & Forums
Jane Is Not Afraid – JINA EP
Jane Is Not Afraid is my partner Jane Stockwell and myself. After going to see Aussie Synth Pop legends Pseudo Echo, Jane announced that she wanted to write some songs. I advised learning the ropes a bit with a cover or two. A bit of time passed so I assumed that was it. Then there … Continue reading Jane Is Not Afraid – JINA EP
