long mellow track with moments of urgency. bass line is a sampled conch
(yes I played it). sampled vox that I recorded of my wife's korean mother
singing
http://www.thecommonwoods.com/nowhere/mp3/07sirius/SadMusicForHappyHumans-A_New_Star.mp3
more upbeat, vox fun, catchy, still ambient ish, minimal child/field vox
samples I recorded are used.

Structured like a song, harp samples (I played), dulcimer samples (I
played), vox samples of wife's mom with mad manipulation
http://www.thecommonwoods.com/nowhere/mp3/06time/01SadMusicForHappyHumans-Tears_in_Time.mp3
Very organic. I sampled a Yan Quin (I played), used a synth with some grain
delay, and sampled vox from my wife's mom (she's a great singer in the
traditional Korean way of singing... I love to sample her!)

Almost 3 songs in one... slow moving to a massively frenetic world beat
dance fiesta in the third part. Vox samples from some villages in Darfur a
friend of mine sampled.
http://www.thecommonwoods.com/nowhere/mp3/Sound/SadMusicForHappyHumans-Fly_Me_to_the_Moon.mp3
Vox samples of that old "fly me to the moon" song (think great depression
era folk) and NASA, more traditional type of song structure and notation;
still ambient ish.

Listen to the title. Pure mindfuck hazery. This is from before I went
digital, and was done with cheap toys, a roland mc09, some pedals and delay
racks/pedals. OVERDRIVE GEAR THAT ISN"T MEANT TO BE OVERDRIVEN!!!
So there's an audiophile party of experimentation, mindfuckery, and
youbetcha, BEATS... for you! I'd love to hear what floats your boat and
what don't (from anyone!).
Not that I'll be changing what I make because of it. ;)
