Green Relief

The holiday season is coming to a close and 2009 is just around the corner. We've had a really cold December (for North Carolina), but this recent heat wave has given me a bit of spring fever. Lately, I've been really enjoying the Buchla synth stylings of Blind Old Freak, as well as Brian Eno's Apollo, and I've been experimenting with purely synthesized music--a new challenge indeed.

I can almost see the bright spring green on the trees. Just a few months left...

Open Space

Here is a composition that I wrote and recorded after seeing the film "Into the Wild," which has a great soundtrack. I thought Eddie Vedder's songs were great, but I was really inspired by the instrumental film score by Michael Brooks as well. Both contributors conveyed the feeling of venturing into the unknown and the quiet contemplation that accompanies that sort of journey.
