Title: Always There
Album: Noise Floor Music
Time: 5:45
Musical score: PDF
Listen: 96 KBPS M3U stream
Release/Street Date: 29 July 2008 available from:

Written and recorded in the summer of 2007, Always There is an electronic piece that flirts with a string quartet. (Imagine Boards of Canada meets Arvo Pärt.) File under minimal neo–classical electronica.

Title: Sub (Room 101 Deep Bass Mix)
Album: The Summer Sessions
Time: 6:51
Listen: 34 KBPS M3U stream
Date: 22 September 2005
Release/Street Date: Late 2008

Referred to as "4:00 AM music," this track was written to appease the DJ in me. Complete with an intro for BPM setup, hooks for looping, and a climax, Sub fits nicely within a dance club playlist, or on an iPod as you ride bike, ride the train, or climb a mountain. File under "house" or "tech house"...or 4:00 AM music.

Title: Heat
Album: The Summer Sessions
Release/Street Date: Late 2008

With enough low–end to move furniture, Heat rides the melodic billow of a didgeridoo, then suffuses the listener in a dark, primal, urban–inspired rhythm. Imagine IDM (ignore the pomp associated with that pretentious title) played by indigenous Australians in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Minimal; deep ambient; groove.

Title: Wait Until The Crash
Album: The Summer Sessions
Release/Street Date: Late 2008

Here's a cross between the upper spectrum of tech–house and the lower span of progressive house. About this, Madonna might say, "you can dance." Remixed three times in as many years.

Musical score: PDF
Listen: 80 KBPS M3U stream

Written for two players, The Dedication is a solemn classical piano composition in the minimalist style. This recording features Mari's and Terence's slow, somber interpretation. The following features Mari's and Vasu's much different rendition.

Title: Conversations With You
Musical score: PDF
Year: 2007

An audio interpretation of a dream with a genius.

Title: The Fear of Art
Musical score: PDF
Release/Street Date: 29 July 2008

The fear of art is that paralyzing emotion artists encounter at some point in their lifetime when making their art. Some of us encounter it more often than others.

Title: Cold Makes Sadder
Musical score: PDF
Time: 3:06
Listen: 67 KBPS M3U stream
Year: 1996, 2007 available from:

Wistful in melody, this song rides a simple melancholic theme. Of the many re–recordings since 1996, this version is the most true to form, capturing the "feel" of the original 4–track cassette recording.

Title: Dynamica
Time: 1:41
Musical score: PDF

Year: 1998, 2005 available from:

This evolved version of the analog, reel–to–reel demo was moved into the digital realm in late 2005, and is ripe with delay and electronic synths. It's the first of five guitar movements.

Year: 1998
