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. The form is Ambient or program music, similar to how Brian Eno presented the idea in his Ambient Series of albums. No AI, No Samples, No Loops … Continue reading Between Here & the Future

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”

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

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
The Past Becomes Present Again
No A.I. – No Loops – No Presets We are creatures of memory. Memory is a massive part of being human. Happiness, suffering... all tied to memory. Memory anchors us in our pasts. Memory defines our present and future. While we spend a lot of time thinking of the past and the future - so … Continue reading The Past Becomes Present Again
