Corona

Another one for the sun. A 20Hz beta wave to get you out of your own head. Musically, a choppy intro and then a lolling roll that just liked being what it was.

I Bless Ra

All hail the Sun god. Music over drone. The beat is around 14Hz, with an improvised, admittedly redundant, banjo melody. Some delay spices it up towards the end.

BiDrone

A set of stacked banjo/ebow drones. The beat is 10Hz. Intended as the base track for an improv, they turned out to be so deep I had to leave them alone - for now.

Drone Two

Originally, this was a second drone which was added to The Dip. Now standing alone, with a 10Hz adjustment to the right channel for the binaural beat.

The Dip

Here's the first offering, a languid drone with a binaurally tuned banjo "drip." The ebow started bouncing around towards the end, creating a real nice pulse.

A Past Life

We lived in New York City for four wonderful years. I had at one point intended to put together an impressionistic collection of solo pieces based on my NY experiences. While that didn't work out, most of the tunes were resurrected into a lullabye project which I recorded for my daughter. These tunes are now available for free from the internet archive. See link below.

As this was my first real upload to the internet archive, I neglected an important detail: Song order! So the tunes are listed alphabetically. I don't think it makes much difference, but I did create the project with a kind of flow in mind. If there's enough interest, I will re-upload the tunes, or else post the original song order.

Another important detail: These tunes were compressed using FLAC, and will in most cases have to be decompressed prior to being listened to or burned to CD. The software is free and easy to use. Please follow the link provided over yonder in the sidebar. The advantage of using FLAC is that it is a lossless compression, which means that you get to hear the music exactly as it was recorded, as opposed to MP3's and OGG's. However, the good people at the archive have indeed provided MP3 and OGG versions for those who do not care to use FLAC. So you win either way!

Follow the link to the project site at the Internet Archive and enjoy!
