Inspired by my summer 2007 voice work with Jon Anderson of Yes, this track and "Stars+Monks" emerged from my explorations with Mackie's innovative Traktion digital audio workstation software, which was included when I purchased a Mackie Onyx Firewire audio interface. Tracktion made it relatively easy to paint broad strokes, to work over long periods of time. I had been wanting to compose longer and slower work for many years, but found it difficult with the hardware sequencer on my Yamaha SY85, or in MOTU's Digital Performer. These two tracks are the mother and father of the Oashaa album.
I teach people how to use computers and software. I listen to a LOT of music. I explore consciousness and my pallette. I observe, organize, and categorize. I read and watch lots of space and sci-fi stuff.
I dream of doing nothing other than making music and floating in zero-g. :-)
