After 3 years, I have now completed a weblog called "...GUZZLIN DIGITAL COCKTAILS...click here to read various articles and reviews I wrote 2004-2006"

an edited list of previous recorded albums:

2006 tranq707:reverse psychology - sixteen pieces of previously recoeded music continously mixed and reversed, sequenced to work as one 40 minute whole...the only entirely backwards album in the history of music...probably.

2002 tranquilisa: radiantobjectsinthepathoftheobvious - spatial beatz, electro noir, lush electronica, technodrone, and foundsound compostions sounding like a nursey rhyme in gamelan.

2001 candelaria:candelaria - collaboration with my brother matt (now of perico and the paper cinema) a collision between neo-folk songwriting and electronic, sample based production...

1999 myr.rec: myrbox - ten from the archives....slo-mo electronic techno to drum brushed abstract sounds. ...

1998 myr.rec: skull portraits - 8-bit non-music, ultra-rapid beatz, sampled classical motifs and religious strangeness are recurrent themes in these first recordings. both pope jean paul II and philip larkin were sampled - er, neither decided to sue for obvious reasons...
