'This Is How Flat The World Is', my 3-song EP, is now available on cdbaby.com.
The EP features:
Atmosherocephalic, a down tempo song with light jumpy beats, smooth floating underwater styled fx and a deep sub bassline
Illumined Pleasures, an IDM song which is jazzy, swinging and free form and is comprised of little blips and bleeps with a lightly funky bass
Placid Abstraction, an ambient techno song with a minimally funky intro which slides into slow tempo floating pads and carries on in the same vein throughout

Just finished up a song called 'Suburban Summer Evening Backporch Riff'. And, yes, I'm on the backporch of my house where I just finished composing it. And, yes, I'm connected to the internet with the wireless modem I'm beta testing for US Cellular. Yes, it's sweet. Very sweet.

No Longer Meditative was accepted by Raw42 today. They call the song "breakbeat". I thought it was "drum n bass" - but then I don't know crap about the subtleties of electronic genres. Here's what they said:
No Longer Meditative - Breakbeat
"A breakbeat frenzy. Lots of different breaks combine with various jazz elements, particularly rhodes melodies, tinging bells and some sax hits. A bizarre experimental number but still engaging."
