The Source

The Source is a work of psychedelic minimalism. This album merges avant-garde composition, free jazz drums, and Eastern mysticism. Over the course of this record, the music shifts from lush string sections and gongs to passionate free drumming and Rhodes piano to the meditative drones of Hammond organ, tanpura, and harmonium.

Tracks: Divine Waves [12:11], White Wings [8:54], Neon Mandalas [6:59], Crown Canal [12:49]

 
 
 

Pearls

Pearls is an album-length minimal ambient composition in four parts. Patient textures and evolving melodies create a meditative musical space that suspends time.

Tracks: Strange Birds [08:48], Lost Energizer [08:20], Isozaki Clouds [10:16], Blue Eyes [08:36]

The Seeker and the Healer

TSATH is a collaborative work with Duane Pitre. The two side-long compositions were developed from improvisational sessions governed by predetermined rules. Piano, bowed guitar, harmonium, and a 49-stringed drone harp created the session sounds that were later sewn together in the studio.

Tracks: The Seeker [19:00], The Healer [18:09]
