About Me

I was born 1823, or maybe not. I once designed a flying machine in which the poet John T. Trowbridge, had misinformed the world as to it’s trial and demise. I tell you that machine flew and does to this day! I am currently in the field of Disturbances and Escapements, mainly air molecules and visual time. And soon weather manipulation. I am also attempting to construct a Freethink Apparatus, a clunky but effective device which fits around and atop the cranium, and awakes the walking tv addled numb. I believe I have a chronic music based disease. I enjoy playing imaginary nonexistent music, though I use real instruments to do so. Comus in Oz, draped in sea harbored melodies, and lo-fi hi-fi sci-fi grits and warbles, which I attempt to invoke from Buck Roger’s antique radios while they are short circuiting in the cool spring rains. I sometimes conduct tests for inter dimensional Devas and such to caress the temporal and mortal. I like the outdoors. I am a multi instrumentalist but mainly anything keyboard/piano based, harpsichord (sampled for now, sigh :( ) organs, mellotron. Many of these songs have their bass and instruments and percussives all done a’capella. Though I do love my strings: guitar, mandolin, sitar, any oddity for percussion. I’m a fan of www.oddmusic.com, especially the wheelharp. I have interest in instrument building as well, in one guise using old pinball and game machines. Where upon I would like to write my first pinball flipper symphony while beating my own high score. If I added you I thought that you or what you do was interesting, or just truly thought you may enjoy these soundscapes. I’m your cup of tea, laced with Bergamot and absinthe. I’d love to meet music lovers, animators, artists, musicians, film makers, and freaks of all kinds....................................................... ............................................................ .......... Featured here are the first edition releases of albums I hope to distribute more fully. These are homespun workings - shadow and light - acoustics, electronics, acapella, noisemaking something or rathers. I hope to offer my music at wider retailers in the near future. I mainly love sharing what I do and seeing art do it’s circular jig with other arts and inspiration. - Cheers! ............................................................ ............................................................ .............. LISTEN HERE!!! CLICK ON AN ALBUM IN MY FLASH PLAYER BELOW AND CHOOSE ANY SONG FROM THE 2 ALBUMS FEATURED SO FAR!! ............................................................ ........................................................... Paypal feeds the monkey. After songs bumbling and jumbling, at last the Theory of Escapements is now available in it’s first web incarnation. Anyone purchasing any of these albums should get a link to a song from my upcoming album: Weathered Vanes called ’Partly Sunny’, if it doesn’t work then send me a message about it. Cheers!.: Downloads of my albums are $5: Darius Greene and the Theory of Escapements Darius Greene and the Disturbances of Pendulums Fantasias and Nocturnes for Imperial Disorder

The Way Things Were, and first rant of the Year 2008...

Some of my tunes, I feel, want to reach for some classic thing that never was. Not aiming directly, but looking just aside, as you can to better view the Pleiades in the night sky. As much as I adore...
