Two new tracks are included on Webbed Hand Records latest ambient music compilation. “Beltaine Frost” is my first solo recording, released under the project name Oil of Haemony. The piece is acoustic and abstract, composed using samples of the same 3 note melody played on an autoharp, ukulele, and banjo ukulele. I’ve also used my voice to repeat the notes and layered it to create a drone. “C plus A” is a Djinnestan recording. Free to play or download from Internet Archive. Left click to play.

Saluki Regicide is sometimes described as soundtracks for weird dreams and is my favorite background music for painting or sleeping. I made a small contribution to this one track. Left click to play. Right click to download. It’s 3 minutes and 20 seconds long. I don’t happen to have 55 monstrous pictures to illustrate with so the photograph of a boy with his accordion, reminiscent of C.P. McDill will have to do.

WHR has just released Djinnestan – Rain 3. This is the latest and last installment in the Djinnestan version of the “Rain” series. If you’ve never listened to “Rain” I would suggest starting with Djinnestan – Rain 1. It’s my favorite of the series. For the most part though, C.P. McDill wanted this finished and released so that we could begin recording our new direction for the Djinnestan project, which is incorporating more lyrical and analog elements into the existing ambient style. The past year has been spent researching material and contemplating the approach we want to take. I recorded the first vocal tracks this weekend and C.P. is working his magic.
