extremely proud to share my new album “discontemplation” out now
an album about thoughtlessly looking at something for a short time and not thinking, or an answer to the question -
what’s the opposite of rumination?
a compilation of sorts, containing excerpts from unreleased nonalbums:
paranormal spa music (2019)
ambient music 3 (2022)
even more holiday classics (2024)
but mostly music I recorded in the last 6 months
some samples on this bad boy are 15 years old(!) if you think you or someone you know have been sampled by shocking twist you may be eligible for compensation
#jamuary 11 - some snowy bitcrushed guitar, please enjoy
I wrote this guitar part for a song about fish for Brian Eno class

#jamuary 7 Oblique Strategies “Try faking it!” feat. my dog Pebbles and her sleepy ear
My favorite place to use Chompi is in bed, the interface is really easy to use with your eyes closed and you can drift off to ambient land
I had composed another loop but the battery died so I made another piece from a different sample. This came out a lot more like haunted ballroom music than the previous one, which was more uplifting (and less scary)
Phoning it in today, studio is a mess and I need to put my new desk together

#Jamuary 6 - Oblique Strategies “Allow an easement (an easement is the abandonment of a stricture)”
Did you know you can run guitars through guitar pedals too?? Here is a video of my feet

January 5 - Oblique Strategies “Disconnect from desire”
Strange transmissions from techno land, RND STEP + oscillator = bitcrusher, low tom sound from TT-78 being compressed and filtered. Can’t quite figure out what is making it squelch like that
Elsewhere, rest of drums are being delay dubbified into meaninglessness by pedalboard. Beads being clocked by Pam’s as a send. Chompi playing a loop I made in bed last night
Blue Monday tomorrow - can’t wait to go back to work

Jamuary 3
Oblique Strategy draw “What would your closest friend do?”
Trombone, melodica, and glockenspiel, smushed and blurred with all my boxes
I swear I’ll make something which isn’t boring and droning (someday)

January 2, oblique strategy “reverse”
Two glockenspiel loops being transposed and reversed by Chase Bliss Mood, along with voice sample on Chompi
Reverse delay on Echolution, Lossy adding some reverb as well
