My freshman year in college I was required to go to many music recitals. There are many performance majors in a school of music, but all of the students don't normally make time to go see the performance majors perform (which is a requirement for their degree). So, the School of Music made it a requirement for students to attend "x" number of these a year. Then on occasion, there would be visiting composers, performers, or groups. One of these visiting composers was electro-acoustic artist Carl Stone. I attended a clinic where he played some of his music and spoke about his compositional methods, but was too shy to ask any questions myself. Later, that evening, I went to a performance and had my mind blown. It was not like anything I had ever experienced and opened a new door for me musically. To summarize it changed the direction of all music I would make afterwards.
This piece is a reference to his record "Mom's" and, more specifically, the first track on that record.

Day 250: Revive
After much debating on the Propellerheads user forum I bought two new synths. Revival and Antidote. Two very different instruments, that can co-exist peacefully, as today's piece will show. It's the most money I've spent on something musical in awhile, but sometimes you gotta splurge. Enjoy.

Day 125: Aspersions
When I started this I thought the hardest thing about keeping it going was going to be finding the time and not running out of ideas. Turns out it's the feeling that I'm annoying people. Part of me wants to say "Don't listen!" then the other part wants to shut it down right now.
I'll see if I can't keep it going for a little while longer.
