This is where you will find my music that, for various reasons, isn't on my Mp3.com or IUMA pages.

I apologise for not having streaming audio here (it will be here soon, though). Everything is in mp3 format which means that if you don't have one already, you'll need to download an mp3 player like Sonique or Winamp . These are both windows mp3 players.


If you need an mp3 player for mac go here


...most of these players are free so if you don't have one GET ONE.


If you don't know if you have an mp3 player, try downloading one of my files to see if it works. If it doesn't, either your player is configured incorrectly or you don't have one.


If you just cannot get the damn things to play try the mp3.com helper.



Subversive Collage

Wilolet Meow uses manipulated samples from sources such as Star Wars and the Meow Mix commercials.



I Love Disco is made entirely of manipulated TV commercial samples.



Happy Enough is yet another piece assembled from manipulated soundbytes of popular culture.



Keeping Beef Company was composed around the same time as "I Love Disco". It was assembled in an identical manner - collect TV commercial samples, mess with them using various computer manipulations, then put them together with Pro Tools.



Minimalism in 3 Movements

This is a piece in three movements exercising techniques of the three primary first-generation minimalist composers.

The first movement is a drone in the style of Lamont Young. Listen for the subtle tinklings that I was able to produce by forcing opposite pitch bend midi information on the same sounds (hard to explain - easier to hear).

The second movement is based on the phase shifting experiments of Steve Reich. I have two identical phrases going at once which I gradually shift out of phase with one another.

The third movement is obviously a rendition of Philip Glass's additive/subtractive process.
