Seldom Sky · Walking In Milan
Walking In Milan

Another musician on SoundCloud that I admire mentioned that they listened to some of my music while they were walking in their city (Milan) at night. I was so moved at the thought, that I was inspired to create and name this piece as I did. I love how music can connect people even though they may be on opposite sides of the world. I hope someday I can walk the streets of Milan myself some night, with music in my headphones and joy in my heart.

Information Panspermia - Life Within The Noise

What if the information of life, as encoded in our DNA, was transmitted from some ancient, long gone civilization from another universe, before the Big Bang, having been sent via the cosmic microwave background radiation?
Seldom Sky · The Mysterious Doctor You
The Mysterious Doctor You

This is a track I have dedicated to a very special person. A healer. He helped me more than he will ever know. The only way I truly know how to thank him is through my music. So to "You" I say thank you!!!

The Light In The Dark Room

She sits alone, in quarantine. A dark room. She is the only light.
Seldom Sky · Time Crystals
Time Crystals

A time crystal or space-time crystal is a state of matter that repeats in time, as well as in space. Normal three-dimensional crystals have a repeating pattern in space, but remain unchanged as time passes. Time crystals repeat themselves in time as well, leading the crystal to change from moment to moment. - Wikipedia


Seldom Sky · Alone With You
Alone With You

I have always been inspired by Paul McCartney, especially when he played with his wife Linda in their band Wings. It is every musician's dream come true to make music with their spouse. And like Paul and Linda, I have been blessed to be able to make music with mine! We have played in bands together, written songs, recorded, and enjoyed making all kinds of music together for quite a few years now. So with this, I dedicate this latest of many songs inspired by my wife, to her.

She is the one that stirs the passion in my soul and gently coaxes these songs of love from within me.

As Paul McCartney sang:

"Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
And what's wrong with that
I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again"

Seldom Sky · Zero One Reality
Zero One Reality
This is one of my first pieces made using Bitwig Studo (Linux version) and is inspired by my fascination with the idea that we could all be living in a simulated universe.
Seldom Sky · One With Everything
One With Everything
This is a track where I used VCV Rack (Virtual Eurorack Modular Synthesizer) to explore sounds that really make me feel spiritual. There are five different oscillators morphing between three melody sequences each, while three quantizations of the scale are being switched between also. So there is a whole lot of movement happening, while at the same time sounding consistent enough to lure my mind into a meditative state. I hope you enjoy this piece!

Seldom Sky · The Mountains Are Here Forever I Am Only Here For A Moment
The Mountains Are Here Forever I Am Only Here For A Moment

I have been staying in the mountains here in Colorado where I live, for a few days with my family and created this piece while looking out the window at the breathtaking peaks that tower around me. Once, I found a fossil sea shell on one of these mountains at about 13,000 feet elevation. The thought of the millions of years it took for the sea floor to rise into the sky, compared to the short time I am here on Earth, filled me with inspiration to make this music. I hope you enjoy it.
That Snowman Melted Long Ago

I went way back in my mind to when I was a little boy. The memory felt like I had existed inside a little glass snow globe. My friends and I made a snow man. Somewhere that snow globe still sits, inside a box, in an attic or somewhere. Frozen in time. This is what it sounded like. (Recorded using VCV Rack, a virtual Eurorack modular synthesizer.)
On My Shoulder

One of my first attempts at making music with VCV Rack, a virtual Eurorack DAW. I hope you like it! Thank to Omri Cohen for all of his AWESOME video tutorials. I couldn't have made this music without his help.
Sailing Off The Edge Of The World

… and as the crew waved farewell
She sailed off the side, through the mist
toward Orion, and galaxies afar
a ship no more, only a myth.
A New World Again

Someday we will have a new world again. Will it be the one we want? We can make it happen if we try.
Catching Up To Infinity

So many things are infinite. The love we have for someone. The ability to dream of anything. Individual snow flakes. But sometimes it seems that the infinite is always just out of reach. If only we could grasp it and hold on. Try closing your eyes and think of nothing but now. Not a moment ago, not the next moment. But now. When time stops being a concern, and we are sitting in the moment, it is as if we are catching up to infinity. Timelessness. The present.
​
Forest Dream

​The year was 2060. I was lying in bed, in my life support environment pod, looking out my window at the desolate landscape before me. As I fell asleep, the blazing sun was just setting, causing a beautiful, if deadly, reddish brown color to descend upon the baked and barren earth. I fell into a dream where I was walking the forest in my youth, before the climate catastrophe, when birds and deer and butterflies lived in harmony among the flowers, streams and oxygen giving trees. I lay in the soft, green grass of a meadow and watched the clouds ...
Somewhere In The Air Waves

Somewhere in the air waves there are the sounds and songs I listened to  as my life took place. As I traveled and married and worked and spent time with friends and loved ones, the music was always there. My children heard it around the house, in the car. We sang along. We danced. We cried and we spilled over with joy. Where has that gone? The corporate takeover of our culture has limited what was once an abundant resource and artistic freedom available for all to experience. Somewhere in the airwaves (and online) it still exists. Hidden in the wires. Surviving in spite of the efforts to capitalize it into nothingness.
I Saw The First Human

How does it feel to be alone? Truly alone? Then, what does it feel like to finally encounter another human being? How many times has this happened to us in the eons that our consciousness has been traveling through time on the eternal path? What was it like the first time we ever encountered another being like ourselves? Were we afraid? Elated? Did we love them? Offer the hand of friendship? Did we recognize them as a brother or sister? Where are they now?
​
Something Almost Lost

There is beauty in all things, no matter how sad, how hopeless, how difficult, when we have a connection to the Love that fuels the Universe.  When we almost lose something, the beauty is in realizing what we almost lost and how important it is to us. As if it were even possible to forget that! The beauty is in the opportunity to rededicate our love to that which was almost gone, and to cherish it forever from that day forward.
​


Soul Kite

Our consciousness longs to soar above the Earth, free from the gravity of everyday demands and struggles. Among the clouds is where our imagination plays, our creativity thrives and our love flows on the wind. Lest the wind carry me away forever, though, my true love holds the string, my one connection, my heart's home, the one whom I will return to always.

The Same Horizon

As I was visiting San Diego recently and standing on the beach looking out at the ocean and the distant horizon, I realized that it was the same horizon I had looked at the year before, when I was last there on that same beach. So much had changed in my life during the past year since I last saw that horizon, and I felt so different - like a new person. But the horizon was the same, unchanged. I felt both comforted and awed. The simple fact that I was looking at the same spot of ocean seemed at the moment, the most profound thing I have felt in a long time. I felt so different, yet the same - both at once. So from that I drew my inspiration for this song.

​Brazilian Cat


A track to either dance to or to just sit and relax and listen. Whatever you feel. It makes me want to dance.

I should mention that I'm a terrible dancer. So instead of dancing, I really get into a good beat in the music. I love rhythm!! This song was a lot of fun to build around the beats i created and discovered. I hope you like it!


Now

This track was done with my daily mindfulness practice in mind. I try to keep myself focused on the moment as much as possible. It helps me in many ways to do that. Creating music is a great way to practice mindfulness, as there is nothing else in my head when I'm doing it. I just get lost in the process and float on a sea of calm.
