Here is a quick sampling of a rough studio mix of some mostly new compositions since Summer 2021. A few were inspired by my recent Southwest tour with my brother Dave and studio sessions we had in Austin, TX. Some were also written after the Renegade Burn (nonBurn?) this year that was held on the Black Rock Desert despite no official organization or support.

Initially that track turned out a bit in the tech house genre. For this one, where Iboga Records is the source label from the original release, I'm trying…
Halfway through the year already! I have been on a production tear lately. Mostly trying to learn my gear really well. Lately it's been using the Synthstrom Deluge since I'm about to go on a roadtrip and want to feel comfortable with just that. Before that, it was with the Akai Force and using that to aggregate and compose with a DSI Tempest, the aforementioned Deluge, Korg Electribe 2 and ER-1, Yamaha RM1X, Roland VT-3 and Yamaha CS as primary sound generators and a Pioneer RMX-1000 as a master effect. Sometimes into Ableton as multi-tracked arrangements, other times arranged on…
