Lied Sonder Tesk

I composed this piano work in 2023 and it sat in the drawer, unplayed, until recently. This release includes two performances of the work, one on piano by John Zeff, and one on a Rhodes Stage-73 by myself. I’ve also included two different mixes of the piano performance – one is a cassette tape mix, the other a clean digital mix.

Pick your poison.This release is free to download if you like it 🙂

Observation Arcade

“You engage your landing thrusters and prepare to be guided into the landing grid by the automated systems. From the cockpit of your freighter you see the planet revealing itself to you. Monolithic industrial complexes rise dominatingly from the surface of the planet to greet your gaze. Your first stop will be a local observation arcade…”
