Placid Abstraction is now available on electronicscene.com.

Here's what Raw42 says about it:
Minimally funky intro slides into slow tempo floating pads and carries on in same vein throughout.

Illumined Pleasures is now available on electronicscene.

Here's what Raw42 says about it:
Jazzy, swinging free-form IDM. Quirky little blips and bleeps with lightly funky deep bass and fusion-styled beats.

Added Bansuri Summer Sturm und Drang to my electronicscene site.

Here's what Raw42 says about the song:
A low-key blippy scientific illbient affair with unusual sounds and plodding underlying percussion combined with eerie/avant-garde effects and synth lines. Subtle, unusual, somewhat experimental.

Actually had enough time tonight to work on a mailing. Sending the demo out to a couple of more stations and sites for reviews. Fun stuff. Go to do that every week, otherwise nothing will happen. Activity breeds results.

Party on.

Way too busy to post this weekend.

Saw Blue Man Friday night. Last time I saw them was 5 years ago. Was awesome. Went out for Ethiopian food afterwards. Fun stuff.

Saturday, I had a charity event, family obligations then ran errands. Busy all day.

Spent the whole day with friends today. This is my first time at the computer today.

Time to catch up on email.

No Longer Meditative is now available on electronicscene.

Here's what Raw42 has to say about this experimental breakbeat song:
A breakbeat frenzy with lots of different breaks combined with various jazz elements, particularly lots of rhodes melodies, tinging bells and some sax hits. A bizarre experimental number, but still engaging.

:: DJ 5:42 AM [+] ::
...
:: Thursday, December 04, 2003 ::
Grandpa Ralph is now available on electronicscene.

Here's how Raw42 describes the song:
Abstract breakbeat sequences combine with smooth chord structures and light airy percussion - experimental drum n' bass.

I'm doing an online radio show for The Mix featuring electronic music on Friday 12/12 from 9 PM to Midnight Pacific Standard Time.

If you are interested in having your music played, email me. There are no royalties, but I'll be giving band names, song names and URLs for every song played, so it will be some decent exposure for you if I use your song.

Temporary holding from mp3.com until I clean it up...

Review of 'Brevity' at http://djsky.pngusa.net/dreamdaze.html: "This track has a gorgeous atmosphere, laid back beats accompany a collection of interesting and well picked sounds which deliver an enjoyable sonic experience. At no time does anything seem out of place which is a testament to the arrangement skills on display. All I would criticise is the overall production, just a bit of work to tighten up the sound and this one would be in my collection. Overall a very well put together example of ambience. 9/10."

Review of several tracks at http://www.randomartist.com/reviews.php?id=403: "DREAMDAZE combines a lot of diverse organic elements into the mix. Brevity, for example, sounds mostly live with some great ambient samples mixed against tribal beats. Face, scratches and brushes around a walking keyboard bass in a most unusual way adding in some nice textured pads. Good sound track material, that. Anthracite is probably my favorite track. Nice use of bass and drum loops balanced with cool breaks. For electronica that continues to suprise and please, I recommend sampling DREAMDAZE's entire playlist."
