Lunch Break 7 'Thommanom' Lunch Break 7 'Thommanom'
Inspired by photos of Thommanom Temple in Angkor Wat. Bells etc. chime in the pelog scale, which is entirely wrong for Cambodia! :-/
Lunch Break 6 'Peculiar' Lunch Break 6 'Peculiar'
An oddity in time and space, it is a mystery to consider. Slow and synthetic.
Lunch Break 5 'Transit' Lunch Break 5 'Transit'
Marimbas, kalimba, vibraphone and bass groove on the transit. Ride the light rail.
Lunch Break 4 'Freefall' Lunch Break 4 'Freefall'
'Freefall' features long and falling melody with fugue-like elements for jazz guitar, piano, bass, drums and a barely-audible rock organ. I'd hesitate somewhat to call it jazz. Somewhat experimental, somewhat classical: I don't know where this
Lunch Break 3 'Freeform' Lunch Break 3 'Freeform'
First song for 2007! I'm creating a series of works during my lunch break. Having a bad day today, so the mood is dark and flowing with this piece.
Lunch Break 2 'Sounds Like Doo Doo' Lunch Break 2 'Sounds Like Doo Doo'
Happy, syrupy synth voices saying 'doo' or 'do' or 'doo doo'. New age crap from early this year that I didn't publish until now. Be happy, be crappy!
Blues in 43, Minimalist Version Blues in 43, Minimalist Version
I created this song with "Poodles and Flan", creating an intense machine of pianos in the blues scale. But it is not blues! This is quite powerful and an original montage. Not bedtime music.
Narrow Path, Open Minded Narrow Path, Open Minded
The irony of taking a narrow and true path, but remaining open-minded
The Cat's Lament The Cat's Lament
A very strange improvisation made with Therernin. Solo avant-garde sounds, not really music! It's more reminiscent of 1960's electronic and tape experiments. Cats can't sing anyway...
Domino Effect Domino Effect
I felt like creating something that was both hard-driving and free-flowing, with an unpredictable beat throughout the obsessive hammering of notes. "Domino Effect" is the result of my wishes.
Stone Arch Tangent Stone Arch Tangent
Thinking about photographic tangents earlier that day sometime in October 2006.
Mark003 Remix Mark003 Remix
I remixed my own song from 2003, called "mark003", by using Tallstick's Audio to MIDI, changing the .wav to .mid and back to .wav again. There are additional notes in the remix, and it's all marimbas this time!
Mark003 Mark003
I created a series of four works in October of 2003 with Poodles and Flan. I'm not sure what I was thinking at that time. I believe that they were simply self-portraits, and I gave them sequential titles, mark001 through mark004.
Make Manuke Make Manuke
aka ma-ke ma-nu-ke. 'manuke' is Japanese for 'stupid', and 'Ma-ke' is close to 'Mark'... so it is 'Stupid Mark'
2 Years After 2 2 Years After 2
I composed this two years after moving to the Twin Cities and was in a reflective mood. Part 2 of 2.

Function over Form Function over Form
I was musing about the balance between the concepts of form and function... are they necessarily related? In the end, I created a piece that is both formless and useless! ;-)
The 600 Dollar Man The 600 Dollar Man
Starring Mark Brannan as "The 600 Dollar Man" (theme music for an imaginary TV series, similar to the 6 Million Dollar Man). For 600 bucks, don't expect any bionic supersonic crap! ;-) Created with "Chaos von Eschenbach".
Circle of Fifths Circle of Fifths
I wanted something very simple and harmonious, in contrast to most of the stuff I've done with music. Therefore, I limited myself to simple fifths and the key of C, using Chaos von Eschenbach.
