About the tracks on the player

Untitled Crusher
This is a recording of Tim Conley, Lucas Brown, and myself rehearsing a untitled tune of mine at my home recording space. This is a rough mix and master. You can hear us MAY 15 at the TRITONE in philadelphia.

No Time For Silence
If this track ever finishes processing, you'll hear it. This is a segment of a 20 minute long track recorded at Tim Motzer's studio in Philly. It's an improvisation with Tim, Barry Meehan, and Myself - a unit known as Base3. There are two other tracks that go with this one that will hopefully be released as an album in the near future

Excerpt of 1st Improvisation of the Day
This is a piece of a recording from a Captain Somebody show at Ortlieb's in Philly back in 2006. Captain Somebody is Neil Podgurski, Jason Fraticelli, and myself. We've got a album ready for release shortly.

Birth and Death of a Conscious and Subconscious Mind
An improvisation on a synth with added bells parts and other electronic percussion representing the subconscious part of the piece.

Gerstein Hirlinger Chance Recording IV
Long time friend, collaborator, and creative mind Ben Gerstein came down to Philly from 181st Street for a weekend of fun. This is the forth of several (yet to be mixed) chance recordings we made. By chance I mean that we multi-tracked each part without hearing the others. We relied only on our memory of previous takes and the shape of those sound waves' images. I don't remember who played what instruments anymore....

The Mind
An attempt to learn Garage Band with a sony stereo mic and some handy instruments laying around the house - not to mention some ponderings of the inner workings of the mind.
