Around 1995 to 2002, I recorded a series of multi-track improvisations with Matthew Jay, who was a band mate with me in Empty Grave a few years earlier. I played keyboards, and Matt mostly played guitar, but would also add percussion or the occasional keyboard. Sometimes the guitars sound like keyboards and sometimes the keyboards sound like guitars. Matt did most the mixing.
A couple of the songs have found their way into the soundtrack of a TV show, a short film, and a stage play, which is not bad for a couple of guys fiddling with a four-track tape recorder and absolutely no ambition for what was being produced – just looking for something to kill time on a Sunday afternoon.
I made some videos, too, but I didn’t work too hard on them.
“Garden of Stray Flowers” has three parts, starts with a deep Jon Hassel/Brian Eno Fourth Worlds Possible Music thing and ends on a Ozric Tentacles stadium hippie jam that says “yes, the ’90s are vintage, now” I can only hear the bass when I wear headphones, and it’s half the song.
Modular (parts 1-3): If you like Tangerine Dream, Eno, Cluster, Moebius, Brain Records and that hypnoelectric sound popular in a three-block radius in Berlin for a couple weeks in 1975

The Marsh of the Exoskeletals by Barrett and Airheart
Marsh of the Exoskeletals – A 14+ minute journey through a couple vast, sentimental landscapes and then falling into a structureless mind-melt that makes me question if it’s music at all, or maybe it’s the purest form of music there is; and it gets dark, like, really ugly doom-electro, but it pulls up into this triumphant riff with this cheesy sound only Tomita could love, so everything will be ok, you know?
This album requires a system with adequate bass response or headphones …or both.
The first track recorded of this project. It kind of reminds me of some early ’70s, album-side-length folk-prog.
Portions of Mysterious Strands of Dreams, as well as Marsh of the Exoskeletals. were used as the soundtrack for the first year’s performance of the The Bloody Apocolypse.
