B Flat by Jellybeam All the samples are from http://inbflat.net/ and I just put them together in a way that sounds good to me. It's pretty hard to make something that sounds bad from that website though :)

Another stellar use of my music in the xclnt Brazilian cooking show, Torrada! Torrada!. In this episode, my track Windfall soundtracks the creation of spaghetti carbonara. Delícia!

"Who's Johnny?" she said, and smiled in her special way. "Johnny," she said, "you know I love you." "Who's Johnny" she said, and tried to look the other way, still pretending...

Dos hombres cualquiera hablan sobre sus cosas en un parque cualquiera, porque realmente, la situación cada vez está peor… [Two ordinary men talk about their stuff in a ordinary park, because the situation is getting worse...]

A snippet of my track she still echoes (like a summer) runs over the closing credits of a meditative short film called "Conversations," directed by Jaume R. Lloret, which competed in Spain's Jameson Notodo Film Festival. Also was selected for the Radio City Festival in the section "Valenciana Shorts" and a finalist in the Mostra de Cinema Jove of Elche. No spoilers, other than my track gets a scrolling credit...

Relentlessly upbeat, continuously jamming, and stuffed with surprises, it makes for a wonderful 50-minute drive.

Avant-garde and abstract expression are often low-hanging fruit for ridicule, tossed off as the butt of jokes while dismissed on as misplaced fealty to impracticality. Explaining the Junto is not always easy. A couple people – people who should know better – have said “it sounds like a cult,” after I entreated them to check it out.

I told the last one, “Never mistake something cult for a cult. Anyway, what happened? You used to be so cool.”

“Heavy Metal Grave" by Roofhare (Kees de Groot)

I recorded a variety of metallic object sounds in my house and used these recordings in Molekular (NI) in one take.

As I was doing the recording of this piece I had feelings related to the MH17 crash come into my heart unexpectedly. I decided to dedicate this track to all the 298 victims who died in a metal tube in the sky. 

I am glad I found some creative expression, even by accident, for feelings that have been mulling around. I know these feelings now just a little better.

windfall on the liz berg show (wfmu)

WFMU's Liz Berg Show from 6/27/2014

Few things are more awesome (or cool or hot or sick or tight or quiche or jelly or whatever euphemism you use to say "yes!") than getting played on WFMU. In this case, my track Windfall (also at the Free Music Archive) spun midway through the June 27th episode of the Liz Berg show, which airs on FMU every Monday morning from 9 to noon. Berg's show is…

Fist-pumping, air-drumming freeform mayhem. Caffeinated rock, experimental pop, oddball beats, and novelties.

In a burst of wonderful synchronicity, the show opened with a track called Cerulean by The Electric Amygdala, a nom-de-plume of Canadian producer, musician and sound artist (and good friend) Lee Rosevere.

PLAYLIST The Electric Amygdala | Cerulean FP | Trace Deadly Combo | Basement Music (Up In The Attic Instrumental) Walt Thisney | Holy Chao Nicky Apple | Some Foods Live in Cans, It's Sad Westy Reflector | Windfall VYVCH | Barely Baked Miami Slice | Solid Gold No Loli-Gagging | Tokyo Beat Ergo Phizmiz | Holiday Ed Schrader's Music Beat | No Fascination Tunnel of Love | Troglodyte Blues
