Hypnotism! (Dream Beats) 


Chill...

Do you know what the prearranged signal is?

A few moments ago you were hypnotised and told that shortly after awakening, you would be given a signal, which would put you back to sleep again.

Chill...

Now do you remember? You're awake, aren't you?

A few moments after you have awakened, I shall rap like this...

Interstellar Alignment 🪐 (MPC One Loops) 


Interstellar Alignment 🪐

Step into the stars with this beat!

I'm back with the Apache Blackgrass. Had a quick stop on the left coast to watch the waves decay. Now I'm back at the control deck locked in with the MPC One, looking out a window facing west towards the Rocky Mountains. Using my imagination to visualize the whole house surrounding me is a spaceship traveling far. Come along for the journey!

EarthBound 🌏 Home Sweet Home [Spatialized Mix] 

Revitalizing synthesizer textures to guide you toward your sanctuary.

We grow up, we drift apart, we can no longer go back. Yet somehow, the music carries us there. Isn't it nice to be home again?

This is my take on "Home Sweet Home" from the 1994 Super Nintendo game EarthBound (Mother 2).

There are some instances of head-related transfer function (HRTF) spatialization techniques within this mix. Headphones are recommended to best experience the expanded stereo properties of this mixing technique.

EarthBound 🌏 Paula's Theme [Spatialized Mix] 

This is my take on "Paula's Theme" from the 1994 Super Nintendo game EarthBound (Mother 2).

I always wondered what that crunchy sound in the song was. Turns out, it's a triggered sample of a cash register!

Old School 80s BMX Bike Footage ✨🚴✨ Compilation

Other Shores, Other Worlds 🌎 



"Other Shores, Other Worlds" is a new song, but the familiar feeling it evokes is drawing from a forever cycling vibration the cosmos are sending out even right now, at this very moment.

Composed on a long lost to time, recently resurrected Synergy I synthesizer. In its heyday, this unique instrument was used extensively by music icon Wendy Carlos, whose credits include film scoring for Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" and "A Clockwork Orange," as well as "TRON." The Synergy was a contemporary of the Nintendo Entertainment System, and sure enough, sounds are loaded onto the synthesizer via old school video-game style cartridges.

Music As A Lighthouse 


the feeling you get 
when you're looking for the next song 
to really connect with 
whenever your head strong 
there's always a playlist 
always a lost gem to get you through phases 
and then when you find it, you're outta your head 
your into the skyline  
and centered again


Above is a set of lyrics I wrote yesterday while working on a new song. Music is a very special gift. Life can be difficult at times. My hope for you is that in every phase of life, you can pull from the infinite well of sound and rhythm, and in doing so, you can be empowered to carry on and weather the everchanging forces this world presents.
