Here's a quirky little instrumental to kick off the new year. No, I didn't set out to write a funeral march, though it's certainly possible - okay, likely - that the recent loss of my father to stomach cancer had some influence on things. I k

Give It Time

Apr 15th, 2010 4m 59s

In 2008, my lovely wife, Linda, was diagnosed with advanced, Stage 3 breast cancer. A committed over-achiever - don’t get me started - Linda fought the disease with her usual determination and impatience. In one instance, when doctors wheeled

Into the Blue

Feb 1st, 2010 4m 26s

"Raptures of the deep" (nitrogen narcosis) is a condition in scuba diving where an underwater diver feels elation and euphoria from a buildup of nitrogen in the brain. Though not physically dangerous on its own, divers who succumb to this cond

Your Dilated Eyes

Oct 28th, 2009 4m 51s

Whatever did we do with ill-mannered children before drugs? The remedies for bad behavior were as unscientific as they were brutal: scolding, restriction, a slap on the proverbial fanny. Perish the thought. But of course, we're much mor

Everything

Aug 20th, 2009 4m 21s

In November of 2009, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is scheduled for completion. With it, physicists from around the world hope to answer, well, everything. More accurately, it is hoped that a unified theory of everything (TOE) will emerg

The Hanged Man

Jun 19th, 2009 3m 43s

In the occult Tarot, the Hanged Man presents a grotesque image, often misunderstood to represent death, judgment or retribution. But look closely - the hanged man is relaxed, content, even smiling. A halo suggests a vibrant, living spirit. I

Entropod

Apr 1st, 1999 7m 11s

Whale song: it's not just for ichthyologists anymore. Wade into the chill-out waters and immerse yourself in an underwater reef dreamscape. For your protection, a PADI Open Water Diver certification is recommended.

Tao of Techno

Oct 30th, 1998 3m 31s

This li'l ditty was inspired by a Colourbox tune, 'Edit the Dragon.' I wanted to create something a bit faster, something danceable, and overcompensated - this tune is too fast for the floor. But, as it turns out, it's just plain wonderful fo

Cold Fusion

Jul 8th, 1998 4m 56s

Put a nickel in the jukebox, earthling, and order yasef up some clumsy sexual innuendo. Doh! I gave away the surprise. Laughs are pulled from old recordings of high school friend, Kirsten Schmidt. Pretty good for Tascam four-track casset

Sanctuary

Mar 19th, 1998 4m 22s

Here's a danceable track for ya, featuring robotic shots from some classic sci-fi. Not to spoil the ending or anything, but "there is no sanctuary!" Truth be told, I lifted these samples into my trusty Kurzweil K2000RS, from MGM's retro sc

Alien Mind Control

Nov 3rd, 1997 2m 36s

"So we loaded up the sampler and we moved to Beverly. Techno samples, that is. Buzzing things. Sub bass." Come to think of it, the audio samples heard in this track also came from the FM sample CD. [See 'Psionic Bomb' for more info.] I

Dangerous Lunatic

Oct 28th, 1997 1m 44s

Here's the last of the FM magazine sample disc projects. [See "Psionic Bomb" for full disclosure.] Can anybody place the source of the audio samples heard in this track?

Brave New World

Oct 27th, 1997 3m 17s

More audio samples from the FM magazine collection. [See 'Psionic Bomb' for full disclosure.] Again, I'm not sure where these samples are lifted from. This track will remain available for free download until the rightful owners complain.

Error 404

Oct 27th, 1997 3m 55s

It's not just for web sites anymore.... When this song was first conceived, the dreaded 404 error message was familiar only to network geeks, like yours truly. In that regard, this recording was intended to be an inside joke between my clique

Psionic Bomb

Oct 27th, 1997 2m 8s

Headache, shmeadache, gimme the damn pills already. This is the first of five tracks incorporating samples from Simon Powers' "Bite-Size Beats 'n' Samples" CD, bundled in Future Music magazine, circa 1994. As such, the source of these samp

He's Dead, Jim!

Oct 27th, 1997 2m 53s

This track represents my earliest experimentation with Techno. Think of it as a B-side demo that record execs should've known better than to ever stick on any anthology, no matter how bad sales are lagging. The instruments predate the genre's

I Don't Know

Feb 1st, 1996 3m 54s

If you're anything like me, you're a complete idiot. There's no explaining how or why my gray matter behaves the way it does when it "acts up," but here's a try....

Don't Waste It

Nov 19th, 1995 5m 18s

It's an unfortunate reality that life's obligations too often steal us away from our talents. Do what you must to survive and what you will to help those around you, but always leave time for what is important to you. It's your life. Don't l

Jealousy

Feb 20th, 1995 4m 15s

Jealousy sucks. It's one thing to suffer from it. It's another thing to be a target of somebody else's jealousy - to be an unwilling participant in an unwelcome relationship. Here's a song for those who can't find it in themselves to let go.
