The new CD is finished! "neuraural" is composed of 10 new songs completed in 2006. The sound of this CD represents a more deliberate and traditional approach at music writing. MP3s have been added below, check them out!
Sitting on the dock of the bay this isn't. Unless you were referring to one near the river Styx. Piano, bells, flute, strings and lots of absurdities make this an unusual sonic journey to new horizons. Unreleased.
This song was created in the first hour of using the program "Musinum". I set up a bunch of instruments and put them into motion using fractal algorithms. It's a spontaneous composition using chaos for guidance, and cannot be repeated as nothing was saved. A true piece of Instant Music™, this song is by far my personal favorite & represents everything I like in my music.
Gingerbread makes good music, the progam that is. Ahhh, to hear the Mandelbrot sing!

Artist history
Many years of Pharming around for fun. It all started with some "toys" and a 4-track
reel-to-reel in 1995 at CCAD, making soundtracks for my video feedback collages.
It eventually became "The All-Monster Chorus" from a lot of experimenting
with various forms of feedback (kind of like how The Hulk turned green). Started
using Sound Edit 16 in Spring '97 for first digital songs. Collected more toys through '99...
discovered fractal music generators like GingerBread & Fmusic in '00... actually
paid for some quality instruments, including the JP-8000, and now have a
well rounded studio(especially with AudioMulch in my arsenal).
With the diversity of musical sources I have been herding in the
last few years, I've realized that I have become a farmer of sound in a way.
