MUSIC

Here's a collection of music that I've written over the years. All songs are available in .mp3 format. You'll find many different styles of music; you'll probably find at least one that you like. Newest additions are marked in red. The "Five Star Rating" indicates the most popular download for the previous month.

Click on a title and (if you're using IE), a window pops up. Select "Open." Depending on your Internet connection and file size, this could take a minute or two for it to start.

You'll find that Sonic Access and the Sonic Rites Initiations are experimental pieces.ET Nature Sounds is a class of sounds all its own, describing (in a few cases) weather conditions on other local planets.

The Galaxy pieces are more civilized in that they are not atonal (with the exception of Descent into Matter). Odds & Ends contains relatively normal music, and includes some non-Lightlounge* clips. Passing the Time contains music from a while back. I wrote these somewhat normal songs when I was a professional, non-famous, musician.

ET NATURE SOUNDS

A few of us Loungites chipped in, and we sent up several space probes to land on four celestial bodies. We equipped each probe with a digital audio recorder so we could record the sounds there. Unfortunately, we couldn't scrape together enough cash to include video cameras. That's a shame because one of the tracks — Neptunian Weather — sounds as if we recorded a life form of sorts.

Lastly, the astute listener will notice that on the Lava Lakes of Mercury track, we overlaid some music about half-way through.

So, sit back in the relative comfort and safety of Earth's biosphere and enjoy the show.

  2. Sunset on Triton (8593kb)
  3. Neptunian Weather (11233kb)

PASSING THE TIME

I wrote these tunes when I was a teenager. Many are mushy love songs, but what can you expect from a Moon in Pisces? I've coded them as such: (S) = studio; (B) = "basement tapes"; (P) = my band, "Pure Grain." Additional notes below.

  1. Here We Go Again (S)
  2. Loves in the Air (S)
  3. Uncle Ernie (P)
  4. Never Disappear (S)
  5. Cried in the Rain (B)
  6. Quest of a Dream (B)
  7. Mooda (B)
  8. Hurricane of Love (B)
  9. Martin Magee (B)
  10. Oh, Caroline (P)
  11. Guitar Man (P)
  12. Reason to Live (B)
  13. Angels (B)

(S) = Jody Gatwood – Violin; Rob Windsor – Drums; Me – vocals, guitar, bass.
(B) = Me on everything; being a struggling musician, recorded on a cheap two track tape player.
(P) = I forgot everyone's name in the band. Sorry guys. I played rhythm guitar and sang, except for "Uncle Ernie," which I sang, played bass, and acoustic guitar.

FRACTAL MUSIC

Fractal music takes a theme an develops it along mathematically defined lines. I named the series "Inner Vision" because each piece develops the same theme, which subtly changes – fractal- and life-like. This avoids it becoming monotonous. To me, once music becomes monotonous, it quits being music. If you like them, you can download the whole "CD" — Inner Vision CD. While there are only four selections offered here, the CD contains all 11 of them.

  1. Inner Vision 06 (1340kb)
  2. Inner Vision 09 (4293kb)
  3. Inner Vision 10 (2214kb)
  4. Inner Vision CD (25497kb)
