This is my only finished song so far. It is a journey through several different
musical landscapes, built
using voice, electric guitar and lap steel slide guitar.

"Scarab Snaking Downstream"

This is an "in-progress" version (in which I focused on working out the song
ideas, not on the sonic quality or synchronization of the recording).
I plan to re-record it soon to produce a finished recording.
My intent for this song was to have it flow along, ever-changing, always in motion.
My visual image for this song (and inspiration for the title) was a
sequence in the film "River's and Tides"
(a documentary on Andy Goldsworthy, an artist who uses materials from nature to
make site-specific works)
where a long chain of leaves he has constructed flows down a rushing stream,
curling and snaking wonderfully.
The scarab reference in the title was largely for alliteration (and because I have a
beautiful iridescent glass scarab paperweight sitting on my desk).

"La-Z-Bones"

This is a short fragment that is an experiment in building up layers through looping.
Its foundation is an odd-time-signature percussion sequence I developed.

Another short fragment. Hans gives his fingers some exercise. I recorded this on February 2nd,
hence the title.
