In the spring of last year, I started experimenting with getting far more minimal in my music than usual, trading layers of drones for sparse sounds. Also had some ideas I wanted to play with involving using math to structure long, ever-shifting pieces. Taking those goals and a heaping helping of Brian Eno influence, i started messing with stuff. The result is the following album. Here’s the opening track. Yes, it’s very, very mellow. If you liked that, the whole thing is available for download and streaming. See below for links. The Experiment 4 – The Ambient Orchestra (2020) Time Slipping Slow in B (AO07) (25:38) The Untitled Shift (AO08) (11:17) Movement in G (AO05) (9:03) Shifting Keys (AO03) (10:18) OUTTAKES: First Composition (AO02) (15:44)…

When most Houstonians think of live music venues, big names come to mind, like the House of Blues, White Oak Music Hall and the Toyota Center. But these big venues don’t offer the same down-home feel as these five lesser-known, intimate venues. 1. McGonigel’s Mucky Duck Situated on 2425 Norfolk, the iconic Mucky Duck serves up live entertainment and classic Irish pub fare. The intimate venue hosts popular local acts, like Peter Case, Ordinary Elephant, Mindy Smith and more. Along with live music, the pub also hosts open mic nights on Mondays and Irish board game nights. All shows are 21 years of age or older, but children can attend if they are accompanied by a parent. The Mucky Duck hosts children’s programming throughout the…

Sometimes I record drones. Sometimes I record songs. Sometimes I experiment with simple electronic compositions. So what if I blended it all together? That’s what I had in mind here. I wanted to capture the full band jam aspect of Slumbersigh and the drifting, moving, evolving drones of m2 with traditional backing instruments, enhanced with minor electronic stuff. Basically, I jammed with myself. (Dirty!) After a bunch of messing with the idea, some of which I’ll upload later this year, an unofficial journey with Carl Sagan developed. It is Beyond the Pale Blue Dot. This is the first track: The whole thing is four pieces of semi-structured drone, finishing with a piece unofficially co-created with Vangelis, along with Carl Sagan. There is a BONUS TRACK…
