A piece of my mind...at least those pieces that can be reflected in songs lovingly channeled.

This is my second ambient song for the S1gns Circle, the Patreon mentoring group of Chris Bryant (S1gns of L1fe). I think it's the beginning of my first album. Enjoy the voyage.

This is my first ambient song done S1gns Of L1fe-style and shared with the S1gns Circle, a wonderful, supportive group of ambient producers mentored by Chris Bryant (S1gns Of L1fe). My music is evolving beyond EDM and MemRemix® songs into an exploration of ambient, and this is my first step, though you can still feel the EDM influence in this one, and the swooshing sounds were sourced in a field recording of the shore at Delray Beach, FL, a la MemRemix®.

A quickie ambient electronic dance music song for a heavyhands workout. Putting to work all the ambient tricks I've learned from Chris Bryant, aka S1gns of L1fe(https://www.youtube.com/@s1gns0fl1fe). Also, all sounds were presets in VPS Avenger synth, with some tweaking, of course.

From the Beginning, Og's people believed that only their nightly drumming and singing of the Sun Chant could guarantee the return of the Sun and the end of Night. So, every night they gathered in the dark...and began...again.
Production note: All "environmental" sounds (insects, etc) were created from scratch on synthesizers. No samples were used. This was a submission for Synaphaera Records' "Assemblage No. 06", a collection of "environmental ambient" songs.

In 1984 at the Summer Festival in Rajneeshpuram, Oregon, while Osho was in silence, we gathered daily in Rajneesh Mandir, the 2.5-acre meditation hall, and listened in Osho's presence to discourses he had previous given. One day the question asked of Osho was: What is the one thing we need to be more like you? After a long pause he said "More", then after another long pause, "Awareness". What followed was the most beautiful discourse on "witnessing" I've ever heard or read by him. For me these two words are the essence of Osho's "method" for awakening, and from that point on it was my spiritual touchstone.
This psybient song, "More Awareness", is my expression of gratitude to him for his boundless love and his simple reminder: "More awareness." Enjoy the trip.
Production note: Except for the introductory voiceover, all sounds in this song are based on Osho's words "More awareness", done in the MemRemix®️ production style. Visit https://www.memremix.com for more information.

My second "ambient" song. Rhythmic and somewhat lyrical with tablas and flutes.

My first attempt at an "ambient" song. Not really a MemRemix-style song, as not based on a field recording, but I derived most of the sounds from the original two PhasePlant presets I found and liked. Hard to break old habits.

Yet another MemRemix® (https://www.memremix.com) song, this one a rhythmic ambient piece based on a field recording of the lovely wooden sounds of our kitchen clock at 3 AM one morning.
99% of the sounds in the song are transformations of the original field recording which can be heard at the start of the song. Once again Deep Sampler from AudiaLab helped me tranform the tick-tocking into the kick, snare and high hat sounds through their AI-driven plugin. The 1% of sounds not derived from the clock recording were the wind sounds created from white noise and a PhasePlant preset from Dash Glitch called "Thick and Click", which I couldn't resist layering in on one sound. Thanks, Dash.

Yet another MemRemix® (https://www.memremix.com) song, this one a rhythmic ambient piece based solely on a field recording of wild turkeys gobbling outside our house.
All the sounds in the song are transformations of the original field recording which can be heard at the start of the song. Thanks to Igor Vasiliev, Minimal Audio, and Audialab for their apps Spacefields, Cluster Delay, and Deep Sampler respectively. Deep Sampler took my very lame kick drum and gave me an entire drum and percussion kit, all sounds sharing the same "heritage" through AI. I've decided to publish different versions (remixes) of my songs with version numbers, as long as each version is ready for public consumption. Vive la difference! but I like version 2.1 the best--I re-mastered version 2.0 with better loadness and other mastering tweaks.

Another MemRemix® (https://www.memremix.com) song, this one a psytrance-ish piece based solely on a field recording of cars driving on a cobblestone street in downtown Philadelphia during a visit to the Liberty Bell and other local Americana.

In the spirit of MemRemix (https://www.memremix.com), all sounds are based on field recordings of two friends saying "Oh Wow", except for the drumkit, percussion, and bassline in the first section, and the drumkit in the second section. I'm not responsible for any sounds you might hear that I didn't put into the song. I'm also not responsible for any spontaneous flashbacks to previous inner-directed, entheogenic chemical explorations.

A faux Renaissance bawdy tavern song about why men have nipples. If you enjoy it, you should check out my novella Eve's Rib, about a group of feminist genetic engineers that, intent on saving the planet from men, create a way to put back some of the X-chromosome genes missing from the male's abbreviated X-chromosome, aka the "Y" chromsome.

An EDM (Electronic Dance Music) song made using only stock loops found in Logic Pro. I guess the EDM sub-genre "House" but the ending probably puts it into "House Anthem". I get lost in all these sub-genres.

A MemRemix® song based only the field-sampled sounds of the "big chimes" outside my door, next to the pool. Key of A Major, but I used the relative F# Minor as well.

A "sample flip" of the Internet dialup sound for Yalcin Efe's community version of Four Producers/One Sample challenge. Though not restricted by contest rules, I did my song MemRemix-style, using only the original sample as source material (except for the phone Intercept Message and Tones). Be sure to listen to Original Internet Dialup Sound first.
