Album Notes

The Double-CD EPICYCLE is a classic treasure to me. I released it in 2001 and have rereleased it here, exclusively on CDBaby.

The Music:
Recorded exclusively on my "live-elektronik" gear, Epicycle is a fluid, often psychedelic journey through several distinct styles of elektronik music. It is a concept album inspired by the book "Second Earth Pentateuch Retold" by Patrick Woodrooffe. Telling the story only through music, EPICYCLE begins with more dance friendly beats to eventually experimental ambient. It is a rich and diverse landscape, highly charged with illusion.

How It Was Made:
I recorded all of EPICYCLE right off my live gear and onto 2 tracks on a hard drive. I did a few edits, mastered it and that's it. This, I believe, is why this Double-CD retains so much organic energy and patience. On the track "The Final Transmission" I actually fell asleep while I was recording and captured myself "sleep-jamming" and changing the music while I dreamed!

Many of the songs from EPICYCLE have been featured in internationaly distributed films, commercials, and television. Not to mention the literally hundreds of people that have used EPICYCLE as an intrinsic part of their yoga, massage, and therapy work and instruction.

I hope you enjoy EPICYCLE and thanks for supporting independent artists!
