about

I recently got married! We had taken care of every detail about the wedding. Centerpieces, layout for the backdrop of the ceremony, pictures, planning for the weekend (it was kind of a destination wedding), water bottle design, and of course, the music.

My (now wife) suggested that we use some of my music... why I did not think of this, remains to be figured out still. So, with a couple of weeks to go, we wanted to create something along the lines of Layers, a music installation.

I had her make some selections, and I did as well, and then I got down into my tracks and split them up to be in a layered format.

I then needed to find the hardware to pull this off. I at first wanted to have the tracks played from wireless speakers, without using a secondary MP3 player plugged into the auxiliary port, but could not find the right stuff.

I finally settled on the DOSS Touch Wireless speaker, with a cheap-ish MP3 player plugged into it. And it worked brilliantly.

Now that the wedding has past, I wanted to share this to my few faithful followers. This album is a modified version of my previous work from Atachafalaya, VR:1, and Eavesdropping - each have been split up into two layers, designed to be played simultaneously from two separate sources.

Enjoy! Let me know your thoughts...

about

musical nature Massachusetts

an ambient project in experimental sound.

My ambient style is one of soundscapes, layered background textures, mixed with nature and an occasional drum loop here and there, ranging from very minimal long-form ambient pieces, to more beat-filled ambient house. It is background music. Music for listening to while working, hanging out, or calling it a night. ... more
