Midway-Sunset

      Midway-Sunset

slow, hypnotic and weighty piece inspired by the fields of “nodding donkeys” of the Midway-Sunset oil fields in California. I watched these oblivious behemoths feeding off the land each side of State Highway 33 for mile after mile.

a laid back hybrid tune with a reggae feel under Mexican-like horn lines and other surreal moments.

le Salève

      le Salève

a piece with a darkish heavy mood resolved by soaring lighter sections. Inspired by my memories of le Salève, a mountain with wondrous views of Geneva and surroundings.

      four:08

a little time stop of just over four minutes played on the piano. A piece I’ve been working on (struggling with) for a tad more than four minutes. Many of the notes are probably not even the right ones, as well as not necessarily being in the right order. Here is a piano score generated by Logic Pro to use as a guide. Calling proper piano players out there; I would love to hear your interpretation.

a cheesy jazz-funk tune à la JTQ to get things started. The first offering from audioscapist.

boozlejam

      boozlejam

a little bit of fun from the band with the obligatory cheese sauce spread liberally over a jazz funk base.

bounce

      bounce

a quirky little house/deep house tune (who knows?) with a solid beat, a driving buzz bass and little middle-eastern sounding riffs.

twenT7teen

      twenT7teen

uplifting track from the band with Boa’s languid bass dominating the groove over luscious pads. Headphones will bring out some of the more subtle noise nuances and quirks.

on angels’ shoulders

      on angels' shoulders

a slow 2-step track with dubstep, orchestral and industrial elements make for a strange and heavy piece full of glitches and ethereal noises.
