What matters.
What matters?
This matters.
That matters.
Who clatters?
Those ratters,
in tatters
that shatter.
The matter
of Matter
is chatter,
not latter.
Featuring flute.
Always zip, (and also latch)
Ensure your cargo is attached.
Failure to heed this mandate
Lets your goods fall to their fate.
Tumbling can be quite tragic,
Requiring repair to restore the magic.
So, remember this simple quip:
Secure your latches, and always zip!
Featuring bass clarinet.
Triumphantly approaching, from either side – diving and dodging, far and wide. Success is at hand, but not yet here – the drive to continue is strikingly clear.
Based on the concluding fanfare from Liszt’s Les Préludes, as featured in the 1940s Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe. Featuring orchestra and improvised overdubbed clarinet.
When I lived in a tiny godforsaken fishing village in Crimea, I had a collection of antique glass fishing floats, picked up on the shores of the Sea of Azov – just like the ones they collect in Japan. Only photographs remain now, because I no longer know where that home of mine is.
And a street that no longer exists for me. A window with erased coordinates. Blue glass floats in a digital media only. Not too much for recollection, I can’t help not to recollect.

■ Vu iz dos gesele (as an echo) // Crimean Memoir
A 5-minute raw hauntological document captured accidentally during a Zoom H2 field test.
An enharmonic intersection of the Japanese C In Sen scale and F Harmonic Minor, where the ghost of a traditional melody involuntarily bleeds through a rigid modal space. Left unedited with all the room tones and industrial rumble from an open window.
Video: Shifting light on the original archival photographs of my lost glass floats.
How does lightning reach the ground?
Inexorably and without repetition, it follows a critical path. Where resistance is least, it descends – and consumes.
Featuring orchestral strings and brass, percussion, detuned piano, electric guitar, drum kit, organ, alto flute, boys’ choir, synth, and effects.
This album reflects on the feeling of a world devolving into chaos and the associated anxiety, while grasping desperately for some kind of sense of normalcy throughout. It’s also about the retreat into apathy or aimlessness.
Secondly, this is an exercise in making musical choices that can stand out in in a world where music can be prompted into existence; or the resentment of even having to think about that in the first place.
It’s easy to unfocus – it only takes a moment. That moment can stretch and blur and become something else. Yet there’s more to all this than just being along for the ride. The capacity to experience is an unparalleled wealth.
Featuring piano.
Study, practice, preparation, meditation – lofty ideals and worthy goals. Yet in the moment, all we really want is to scream through a tube.
Featuring didgeridoo, flute, clarinet, and tenor saxophone.
Precious things are often hidden. We choose to protect what we treasure by shielding it from prying eyes, and more. To a point, this is rational – but to a broader point, it’s inevitably best to share what we have.
Featuring alto saxophone.
Coming from opposing directions, seemingly in disagreement – the triads belie tribalism. Within their cozy group the harmony is clear, but when considered in broader context it becomes uncertain. Yet this conflict is illusory – though they duel, the outcome of their combination is in fact a larger and more beautiful harmony than before.
Featuring electric keyboard.
Cat cohabitators know – with great cuteness, comes great expectations. Routines are established, and deviations are not tolerated. Habits are enforced by meow and claw, as once an order of events is set into motion, it must be brought to fruition.
Featuring concert and world percussion, including taiko, vibraslap, cuica, cow bell, triangle, udu, talking drum, timpani, snare, xylophone, marimba, fish bell chimes, and lion’s roar.

Local optima aren’t – plurality runs counter to true highs. Yet such sweet spots are satisfying nonetheless, and worth indulging in from time to time. Ideals, subjective or otherwise, are still a matter of perspective, and benefit from such reflection.
Featuring electric keys and effects.
Sometimes, we live. Sometimes, we rush, headlong into the many of the many and the concerns of the lesser and the greater and the in-between.
Sometimes, we live. Sometimes, we speed, from this to that to this again and this other this that was not even a that which we thought of.
Sometimes, we live. Sometimes – we breathe.
Featuring piano and orchestral strings.

Searching – stumbling. Seeing – staring. Blankly – blinking. Blinding – blitzing. Being – buzzing. Feeling – futzing.
Featuring improvised piano.
When one fears the unknown, the only solution is to investigate – and there’s only one operative for the job. The name’s Craft – Lovecraft. Otherworldly affairs and supernatural concerns are their specialty. Be thankful for what you don’t know you don’t know.
Featuring synthesizer, strings, choir, piano, drums, guitar, church bell, laughter, and effects.

1, 2. 1 te 2 te. 1-ti-te-ta 2-ti-te-ta. 1-ta-la-ta-li-ta 2-ta-la-ta-li-ta. Hamburger.
Featuring a Wittner wooden metronome and clarinet.
Finally, the origin is discovered – the home planet of counterpoint, the source of fugues. It was always implausible that such balanced beauty was chained to one planet – and now we confirm that these semi-symmetric vibrations are at home throughout the universe.
Featuring Bach’s otherworldly organ prelude BWV 649, chromatically shifted and with effects.
Distimed, not displaced – dancing along through technical grace. Wet reeds vibrate all the same, and fingers play a similar game. Sound that matters, sound it out – music will allay your doubts.
Featuring bassoon and clarinet.
Sometimes you must venture to places unknown, through ways unseen. Uncertainty abounds – and must be acknowledged. Allow Dense Fog Advisory to guide your caution and temper your approach.
Featuring rompler instruments, including bass, synth, strings, choir, drums, electric piano, and effects.
Prior to performance, preparation is peremptory. Scalar approaches, diatonic and chromatic, essentially apply. Yet strange resonances also insert – and are just as necessary.
Featuring synthesizers and percussion.
