Walking through the parking lots,
Seeing where there’s trees (and not) –
Wond’ring if the other people
Also see the world this way.
All must see with their own eyes,
And in private they surmise –
Neighborly Perambulations
Fail to bridge the minds’ divide.
Featuring improvised clarinet.

We had a little musical PlayDate and made an album
Ejler – guitar ,synths
Puzi-cat : bass, artwork
Roland : drums
Needing no truss (superfluous). One must discuss, without a fuss. Nonplussed, and thus – I am pond-rous.
Featuring improvised unaccompanied alto saxophone with reverb.
Calls can be quite substantive – but they can also be fluffy. Though perhaps enabling some form of connection, little information is shared on a fluffy call – and possible miscommunications can occur. If it’s just a fluffy call, please feel free to be excused.
Featuring strings, synthesizer, percussion, electric bass, telephones, and effects.
Matt and Dave named their project Felsteg, which is Swedish for misstep. And this is certainly not due to a lack of conviction in their shared musical work. Rather, and on the contrary, the name describes their approach to music quite well for me. On “Hold” you can hear two experienced live musicians who consciously decide to “misstep” when playing. Misstep as an opportunity!
The music on the album was created live and spontaneously. Starting with rudimentary song ideas, they played sessions together in which improvisation became the means to flesh out the basic ideas. At the same time, these sessions were professionally recorded on multiple tracks in the studio, then supplemented with additional elements and mixed at the end.
On their debut album, Matt and Dave managed to create songs that, despite all their complexity and jazz affinity, are characterized by a pleasant lightness and catchiness, even naturalness.
One can count one by one, or two and three, or three and two. One can count the ways to count – and how one counts counts.
Featuring jazz quartet of brushed drums, upright bass, piano, and muted trumpet.
A stone may age in many ways, but one thing is assured – time will march on day by day, and leave none unperturbed.
Featuring synthesizer, electric guitar, bass, drum kit, shaker, and effects.
As the vapers vaped and ‘retters ‘retted, plumes of smoke of various flavors spiralled towards the ceiling of the old lounge, which was now covered in a thin glaze of brown. The red satin chairs, once new, were torn in places and punctuated with cigarette burns. The wooden sculptures and armchairs were shiny, but a sticky to the touch. And as light bulb after light bulb expired shadows gradually began taking over the old lounge.
This session was recorded at Loud On 7th Studio– in one take with no overdubs. Sound and music by Thomas Park.

Anthimeria: a word that is both a noun and a verb.
Anthimerias have become more and more ubiquitous as human linguistics have evolved throughout the early 21st Century.
The Process:
The recordings in this collection all started out as improvisations, played by Goff on a Casio AP-24 electric piano. This full-sized, 88 key piano was purchased from a Salvation Army store in Bonner Springs, Kansas, and appears to once have been employed to serve up the music for church services somewhere in the Kansas City area. Goff recorded his improvisations through the open-air microphones of a Canon S2 IS digital camera. By avoiding the use of direct line-in recording, all the overtones echoing from the piano’s speakers, some of the sounds of Goff’s fingers hitting the piano keys, and even some occasional squeaks of Goff’s chair are present in these recordings.
Using “AmazingMIDI” computer software, Goff converted each of these digital recordings into MIDI files. This particular software converts every bit of recorded data from a wave file into a monophonic MIDI format. The MIDI file then can be read by MIDI score-writing software, allowing all of its recorded sounds (including overtones and the noises of squeaking chairs) to appear as notation. Such score-writing software provides the means for artists to apply sounds from a wide variety of virtual (computer-generated) instruments to the MIDI notation. Score writers also allow artists to transpose musical keys, delete/add notation, copy and paste musical passages, add reverb and chorus effects, etc.
Goff used three different score-writers, programmed into three different computer operating systems, when molding the recordings for Anthimerias:
1) Midisoft Music Mentor MIDI Scorewriter (released 1994)
run on Microsoft Windows XP OS (2013)
2) Musescore MIDI Scorewriter (Version 1.1, released 2011)
run on Microsoft Windows 10 OS (2016)
3) Musescore MIDI Scorewriter (Version 3.6.2, released 2021)
run on Linux Ubuntu OS (2022)
Each of these three setups provided Goff with its own unique pallet of sounds and editing controls. Goff gradually refined his compositions by transferring partially-edited MIDI files from one setup to another, allowing him to alter the files again and again using all three sets of software parameters. He later re-converted his edited MIDI files into wave files and further orchestrated them with Cool Edit Pro 2.1 (released 2003) multitrack audio-editing software. During this final process, bits of the original, open-air Casio electric piano recordings were layered into some of the mixes as well. Thus, each Anthimerias composition features its own unique blend of instrumentation, dynamics, and overall attitude.
No material that did not originate from the Casio electric piano improvisations was added during the production of this collection. Some of the aforementioned overtones and incidental finger and chair noises did convert into MIDI notation, however. Several of these happy accidents were incorporated into the final mixes of this collection. No artificial intelligence was used in the production of Anthimerias.
To help listeners envision the composition process of Anthimerias, a printed PDF score of “Form” is included in this collection. This 265-page document was created through Musescore software after Goff had finished editing the piece.
