A professional software developer since the early 1980s, now retired and living a quiet life with wife, kids, and grandkids. By no means a proficient, nor skilled musician, I enjoy creating music - ambient, trance, sometimes LoFi, often strange.
2026-01-18 - Getting familiar with Dawesome's Zyklop, little sibling to the fantastic MYTH. Absolute blast in a tiny package - free, because reasons. The image shown here is by NASA: the two galaxies Messier 81 and Messier 82, which swung past each other a few hundred million years ago.

2026-01-08 - Well, there's something to be said about this calm, droning piece. I fell asleep to it, while mixing. Take that as you wish and enjoy. Or not.

2026-01-07 - Greeting the New Year with something a bit unusual. Enjoy, or not.

The actual (or convenient) ignorance of facts and the sheer stupidity of the great majority of these comments cannot be overstated.

2025-12-19 - A rather joyous, almost festive track - mostly with algorithmic composition, with a few impro additions here and there. My daughter insisted on the addition of drums and bass, hence the unusual appearance of a trusty TR-808 synth. Go figure. Enjoy, or not.

2025-12-19 - Another small composition: handmade Bb harmony + with algorithmic composition for the piano part. And yes, I know, my mixing and mastering skills are still quite under par. Oh well... Enjoy, or not.

2025-12-11 - Completely automated, algorithmic composition in A minor. The track turned an unexpected turn when experimenting with different instruments: what I ended up with is a rather unsettling, very dark piece. Enjoy, or not.

2025-11-30 - Only synth voices, only one synth (Synthmaster 2) for this ambient track in Bb (using the strange - to me, at least - Mixolydian scale). Algorithmic composition, for once using a rather fantastic tool by Higher Plane (SpaceWalk).

2025-11-24 - One strange track, all echoes and delays. Could be the title track for some cheap TV series ... oh, I don't know ... a CSI spin off or something. Enjoy, or not.

2025-11-23 - Getting somewhere with the composition algorithm. Almost managed to make the keys and the pads to sound decent together. Then again, the mixing is always a nightmare. This track sounds better on speakers than my damn good headphones - and I don't know why. Enjoy, or not.

2025-11-06 - One more piece - purposefully composed, coded, mixed, in less than three hours. Some experiments with automation of notes probability, and repetitive guitar riffs in Eb Lydian. Enjoy, or not.

2025-10-22 - My own, simple chord progression. C Chromatic scale. Piano arpeggios done with a modified, subtractive algorithm. One single, strange pad, courtesy of Synthmaster 3. Enjoy, or not.

2025-10-20 - One more mixed bag: chord progressions done in Scaler 3. Piano arpeggios done with original algorithm. Minimal pads, done with stock samples found in "Splice INSTRUMENT". Quiet and disconcerting at the same time. I could fall asleep to this one.

2025-10-18 - A mixed bag: chord progressions done in Scaler 3. Piano arpeggios done with original algorithm. Minimal pads, done with stock samples found in Kontakt.

2025-10-12 - A little more algorithmic stuff, mixed with more predictable chord progressions. I think the code is getting better, little by little. Again, using just a couple of synths only: Artic Dreams and Padscape (by Electronic Soundlab). Enjoy, or not.
