The Day We Met
It's a song...lend it your ear.

This is a slow, musing song. The character is looking at a wall of photos and is thinking back to the day they met the love of their life. How, in that moment, their life was changed and all of the intervening years of cherished memories that sprang from it.

Prickly Pear
It's a song...lend it your ear.

Now you can go totally mid-cen with Gort Braggern's latest tune Prickly Pear. With Prickly Pear Gort takes aim at 1963 hipsters starting on the west coast and ending on the east. Get ready to be snapping your fingers and saying "daddy-o" like you really mean it.

Volcanic Sounds of the Yellowstone Caldera
It's an Album

It was a cold October week in Wyoming when our adventurous recordist decided to poke their gear at the fumaroles and other attractions of Yellowstone. Off peak times of year have fewer noisy humans about which increases the odds of capturing a acceptable, uninterrupted length of recording. Yellowstone is fascinating. in some areas you feel like you are standing upon a giant teakettle that is boiling furiously. If there are no people around so you can sit on the boardwalks you can feel the ground moving as huge bubbles of gas shift from chamber to chamber in the earth beneath you.

But even in the off-season Yellowstone is interesting enough that it attracts lots of people. So our recordist wasn't able to capture the lengthy recordings that we love. But that didn't stop them from dangling their smallest microphones into the throats of tiny gurglers. or setting up their larger mics on billowing belchers. From the nature of the place, there is a lot of sub-sonic sounds. We toned them down a bit, but if you have a good sub-woofer, you might enjoy sitting on it while listening to some of these.

Porphero's Watch Chain
It's a song...lend it your ear.

Gerluz is emerging from his spate of Baroque musings with Porphero's Watch Chain a simple two-part melody that, while it doesn't quite move him into the current century he has, at least, left the 18th. & has stopped wearing those powdered wigs and dressing so funny.

Le Moucheron
It's a song...lend it your ear.

François Couperin titled this song "The Gnat." And truly, this lilting tune evokes the charming image of a cloud of happy gnats dancing over the head of ones beloved. Gerluz brings the song to life with his piano rendering of the ancient and delightful harpsichord piece.

We're big in Japan
For some reason Scott Joplin's New Rag is a popular tune in Japan. For sure it ranks nothing close to even the least popular j-pop tune. But to see an American piano song from 1912 getting any attention at all is kind of a cool thing. Thank you, all of the people of Japan who have streamed it!
Such excitement!

Chiltepin
It's a song...lend it your ear.

Taking hot and spicy to the next level, Chiltepin is a fancy, latin-esque tune that is mostly in 12/8 time. Chiltepin is also a native pepper plant that grows wild in the southern parts of North America & the northern bits of South America

Low Tide at Soberanes Point
Quiet seas out by the tide pools. Low, rolling wavelets that slursh through the channels and gurgle into the chambers that make up the broken and convoluted shoreline. This is a lovely, wet and delicious recording, ... And... there are over two hours of it
Night Birds on the Noyo River
The Harbor for Fort Bragg, California is in the mouth of the Noyo River. It is a small port, but large enough for some fishing boats, expedition boats and some good seafood restaurants. The hills around Fort Bragg have been logged for over 100 years. As a result there is a good set of, fairly well developed but not well used logging roads that criss cross hither and yon. One of these roads runs alongside the Noyo River.
Mimsy
The rosy glow of a late summer sunset folds into the lilac & deep purples of dusk. Almost like water the transformed light flows through the open windows and mingles with the radiance of the single candle in the room. In the stillness of the evening a lone person floats through the room, bobbing and spinning in a slow quadrille..
Untitled-40
Here Gerluz is performing with members of the Nouveau Guinea Ensemble in the piano quintet "Untitled-40."
Cherry Blossom Sunrise
A cool morning full of promise. Ah, but the coffee tastes good. come on out to the back porch and watch the day begin underneath the the cherry trees
The Tiny Jalopy
It clatters, it shakes it rattles and pops. The Old Jalopy comes sauntering down the street in a cloud of dust and a rhythm that make you think it might have the hiccoughs. It is a racket and a hazard and an eyesore to our town. But it owned by old Ms. Primbottom who has been driving it for 95 years and isn't going to stop now!
Coffee Time Rag
Put another pot of coffee on the boiler!   Have yourself another cup of joe. Then keep on drinking until your nerves are a tingling   and your foot just cant stop tapping the floor.
