Music of the waves, music of the wind   Song This is my favorite track from the album because it reminds me of all the acoustic Цой songs I played through the years. I took on a very broad collection of songs and dedicated a big part of my music to figuring out how these […]

Classical guitar and voice, an interesting combination of delay effects, one track recording partial-cover from August 6th of 2010.   I saw an overlap of my calm songwriting/vocal approach with БГ’s. Борис Гребеншиков, frontman of Аквариум, a russian Bob Dylan if you will, and I got heavily into his different sorts of songs and covers. […]

“Become a bird, living in my sky”   I’ve always liked this song and the simplified picking approach of folk written songs with natural live speedups and downs. This is another 1-track recording from a Feb 2nd 2011 session: Three originals followed by this cover ended up on Observe. As mentioned in Song Wednesday #5: […]

Morgan Freeman has said that he wasn’t born with his voice – he developed it. When you relax your voice (yawn), it drops and becomes deeper.   A low night 2010 November 5th – Friday night, I was asked to lead a youth band for a service at a local church. At this time of […]

The last original song from Observe In december I started work on my collection of old projects from the previous years. This was the first track I started working on in preperation for an album release of some sort. It caught my ear as something possible to release if I can at least make it […]

Music making insight and techniques: What may come as a […]

Look, how is life? Cut the representative smile; I mean it: How are you?             What drives you? Do you work to support your life, do you get paid enough to, or do you even have a life outside of what you do? This world spins slow enough for us […]

  Growing up in a world of scientists and technology, we naturally adopt the idea that science is fact, not “working theory”. So when we are open to all conclusions, we quickly find ourselves lost and alone: We don’t know. From our perspective, reality is relative, and who is to paint us a picture based […]

Coming off last week’s Am-Pm, “Moon” is also written from an existential perspective:     A human being conscious of himself and how the world is attempting to affect him, bombarded with enticing and blinding things throughout the day: attempting to make him into someone who he is not. He finds peace in the night, […]
