Thursday eve, just as vacation is about to begin. This giant hive sits to the north of our driveway, a safe distance for viewing.

I get so grounded playing Michael Hedges' music. Working through a little bit of Bensusan, accompanied by last night's owls and coyotes.

Tape 15 again - 1995 4 tracking again. Really working to get an interesting sound out of the touch-wah preset on this ART multieffect unit I had.

Tape 15 again - 1995 4 tracking. I loved the artificial harmonic in the evil repeating figure.

A bunch of textures on this tape - Tape 15. I started this audio journal approach with the 4 track, where I'd just number and date tapes, and let the sounds flow.

1995 4 tracking again, and again I have no recollection of where/why for this one. My friend Craig perma-loaned me a full size keyboard with a bunch of preset sounds and rhythm patterns, and occasionally I hear it's drum machine creep in.

1995 4 tracking with a little help from Ableton. I have no recollection of where/why for this one, but I have this sanitized memory of my 20s sounding like this: endless afternoons of noodly overdubbing guitars, working my way intuitively towards something that works. And I had to have harmonics in everything.

More 4 tracking - this is from 1995. My first little movie soundtrack for my brother's short "The Loner". Wow isn't that the sound of loneliness?! I had a Dearmond phase pedal that let you control the speed of the phase with a rocker, like you see on a volume or wah wah - that's the backwards sound you here.
