The album is a reflection of my changing outlook towards sound and music. It is about experimenting with and embracing of all sounds. It is about degrees of composition - some tracks are composed songs, other are recorded sounds, some contain musical improvisation, some tracks are renditions of songs composed by other artists, some tracks are played with other musicians, another track is about learning to play an instrument, and one was created with loops on a Sega Dreamcast. Together this is a collection of sounds that I hear and create. Uniquely, they form my sound identity or my sound world. This release is also the fruit of a challenge to create a 45-minute 20-track album in a few months. It is technically my third album. It's dedicated to whomever it may concern.
New and old experimenting experiments in electronics and non-electronics...

Flight to the Moon - The Voyage of Apollo 11 B.mp3I figure this will give me some incentive to transcribe things! Coming soon, QUASI songs from their cd "Featuring Birds".
My brother had a Yamaha rm1x sequencer or my Korg Trinity keyboard that I learned to make music on. In high school I bought a microphone, and it became much harder to write songs.
In high school I messed around with music software on my computer. I spent many weekend nights alone in my room playing percussion instruments, keyboards, and also stringing long microphone cables to the piano in the living room. Eventually, I finished my album called "The Stars", which I don't like, and is available on http://archive.org. Since then, I have been working to improve my instrument playing skills (mainly piano), improving my overall musicianship, and also finding new sources for sound such as circuit-bent instruments, mbiras, superfast laptops, outdated computers, tape players, contrabass instruments, and more. I am also interested in the jazz art form.
I also play or have played in the following bands: James Rabbit, Altered Beast, Cloud Chamber Quartet
