about

Compositions designed for radio (now available upon request only) - broadcasted on “Wavelength” on Resonance FM (London, England), “Spectrum” on WMMT FM (Tennessee/Kentucky), and “Into the Dark” on Radio Free Brooklyn (New York).

These pieces reflect my work with sound as art and magic. Designed to function as sonic spells, each piece is intended to evoke forces that induce a variety of specific responses from the listener.


"NEW DAWN" - best heard at dawn - to evoke new states of mind and ideas (for illuminative effects). 666 seconds.

(Sounds: infant, cellos, guitar, the sun (recorded by SOHO - ESA and NASA).)


"GLOAM" - best heard at dusk - to induce a state of natural mind in order to act accordingly (twilight effects). 666 seconds.

(Sounds: male and female voices, ox war horn, V-1 “buzz bomb”, planet Mars, birds, Vela Pulsar, vinyl record, goats.)


"VISIONS" - best heard at midnight, and repeated on a loop throughout the night - to trigger and aid dreams. 666 seconds.

(Sounds: vinyl records, pencil tracing an Icelandic stave, binaural tone (delta wave 40-42).)

[Discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, binaural tones are auditory processing artifacts, or apparent sounds, the perception of which arises in the brain independent of physical stimuli. Originating in the superior olivary nucleus, a part of the brain stem, delta waves are associated with dreams, REM sleep, meditation, and loss of body awareness.]
