These last two weeks have bounced between Spring-like and "kinda not Spring" here in Florida. Some of my family in the north report that flowers are blooming, and the snow is gone. Regardless of how non-committing Spring may be this year, we al
While the last episode was brought to you by the sounds of an air scrubber I wanted to toss out of the house, this week I could really use that air scrubber. There's dust everywhere. Everywhere! And that's just part of the fun of drywallin
Not long ago, we found water damage in the kitchen of our house. In Florida, that means you get a mold test done. As a result of that test, a nice group of men wheeled an air scrubber into our house and began to tear our kitchen apart. Then, t
I don't know about you, but this year has started with an exaggerated pace of getting things done. And after the lull of 2020, I'm somewhat good with that. But at the same time, it's easy to compare a break-neck pace to an open flame. If lef
When I was a kid, my dad offered the advice that we shouldn’t wish to speed life along. I was probably six or seven years old, but I couldn’t wait to be ten. As it turns out, my dad was right. Since then I’ve realized how much time we spend say
When you really stop and think about it, isn't life a series of chances to start again? That's especially obvious in the first moments of a new year, or in spring. But each and every minute of our lives holds dozens of tiny opportunities to
As 2020 comes to a close, I wanted to walk back through the material I've released on the podcast this year. There was a lot of motion in theme and style during the last 16 episodes, and I combined them all into one big track. Some of the episo
Sometimes life is so crazy that you don't have time to sit down and ponder the meaning of things. In my case, this track. What I can tell you is that I wrote four or five editions of EP-016 before this one showed up. I hope you enjoy it!
There's this saying that people use sometimes, when they can't take much more. It varies a bit in how it's stated, but it's often something like "Jesus, come quickly!" Bono (of U2) worded it slightly different with, "Wake Up Dead Man." No year
The context of this episode felt worthy of a voice note. The full transcript is available in the description of EP-015.
In October of 1957, Russia launched the first satellite into space. I was born about 25 years later, which was plenty of time to get people to the moon and back, and inspire tons of kids to dream about space. I was one of those kids. For me, t
I wrote this for a special person who is going through a lot right now. I can't be with her in person, but there's a lot that you can say through a simple song.
I can't believe that I wrote this song 17 years ago. At the time, I was studying in college, preparing to take a semester abroad. I knew that things would change. I would leave, and friends would graduate and go on to do amazing things. With an
About fourteen years ago I wrote a song that only four people heard. I thought it had promise, but with "life stuff" I stopped work on it. This week as I was starting into the episode I decided to rework it. I may release the actual track at so
Water is fascinating, but also very dangerous and sometimes deceptive. Years ago, I was in the ocean walking back toward the shore. I had been careful not to wander too deep because there are things hidden by the water. Without warning, the gro
A couple of days before I started work on EP-009, I caught a video where Adam Neely breaks down The Girl From Ipanema. I always found Bossa Nova to be fascinating, but I had never considered why it fascinated me. If you're into the technical or
In EP-007 I re-visited a technique I used in the early 2000s – I built some of the background percussion by taking a sound or rhythm in the foreground, exporting it, manipulating it, and then re-importing it back into the track. In this episode
I started this song fully intending to make it a nice, calming, happy mix. The end result was something different. I thought about rewriting it, but sometimes we need the honest soundtrack for what is really going on around us. We need the r
I wanted to do something special for this episode to celebrate the 100th download. (It happened either during EP. 004 or Ep. 005, depending on how you count the numbers.) 100 is the first milestone I had for this, and hopefully the start of ma
For this episode, I wanted to get back to playing guitar. And then promptly snapped two strings. Ah well, there are still four other strings on a guitar, right? ;) This glitchy ambient mix draws inspiration from the ocean.
I starting writing this episode around the release of EP-002, and it was supposed to be EP-003. It began as a collection of hopeful textures and droning sounds, but with everything going on at the time the music took a different twist. With ano
This episode is a little different from the previous editions, and it's a lot more musical. I was asked to create something to help fight anxiety, but the original track I made just wasn't right. I wrote and rewrote this release a few times, bu
In this episode we explore ambient textures and soundscapes. Some of it gets a little dark, but it shouldn't have the kids screaming or anything. ;) The first portion of this mix is taken from the EP "Sources I," which is due to release in June
In this episode I look back through old work and give it new life. There are bits from video and game soundtracks, unreleased and unheard music. Styles range from ambient to upbeat electronic.
As a kid, I was always writing and performing music. So, I think it would shock a lot of people to know that I haven't been working with music full time for the last 15 years in some capacity. The truth is, I was about to be married when I was
