About Me

ATTENTION: Reality is a brown paper bag with coupons. Cut them out and save.

You Are Here is Tyler Singletary. He makes music of an improvisational nature in his home of San Francisco. There is fog. There are clouds. Epiphinatic arrays of emphatic isolationary realizations. All works are living sketches of life, thoughts, and emotions.
More music is available at http://www.hierophant.biz. Watch for an upcoming album in 2007. You Are Here will appear on the Oniric Records compilation, Solutions for Dreamers, Season 2.Check out my website for more detailed information about how the pieces are created, works you won't find here, and other collaborations.

These are some sketches I've made. They're never finished.
Usually improvised piece by piece. Looking for collaborations in different styles.
There are links to more personal works in the blog; unfinished things, piano solos, other compositions.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/23/2005
Band Website: hierophant.biz
Band Members: Me, I, You, Them, The Internet, Life. As Elbow says, "A Cast of Thousands"
Influences: My life, my brain. Jim O'Rourke, Liszt, Prokofiev, Stereolab, Animal Collective, Bard Pond, Perschetti, Max Richter, Gregor Samsa, Stephen King, The Internet, unconscious, surrealism, Joanna Newsom.dropping out of time and space.My brother(s). My family, my friends. Mylanta.
Sounds Like: Lately I've been listening to a lot of Jim O'Rourke's Bad Timing and Joanna Newsom's Ys. Their influence is bound to be in my music.
Some say: "Soundtracks", Terry Riley, out of time, ethereal, Sigur Ros (it's not quite there, I assure you), out of tune, too many notes, too few notes, unmelodious, lyrical, insane, rambling, meandering, changing too quickly, unsatisfying, euphoric, calming but disturbing.
It's all of these things. Imagine music as people and maps and imperfect connections, improper abstractions.
Record Label: Oniric Records
Type of Label: Indie

A Dying Portrait of a Piano

This one is potentially unpleasant to the ear. That's okay by me, it might not be by others. It consists of piano with carefully manipulated reverb and delay effects. As was before, it's played liv...
