The Three of Diamonds is based mostly on the percussive part of it. The percussive part is made entirely of sounds of my knuckles cracking (aside from the two handclap samples and two cough samples, which are both me as well).

Two of Diamonds: Nothing Will Assuage The Birthers
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that “nothing will assuage” the Birthers. I’ve emailed back and forth with one and I believe that to be a true statement. I think this will continue to waste everyone’s time until the end of Obama’s Presidency. Maybe we can just ignore them. I hope so.
Anyway, on to the music. This is another home piece. I made it in Pro Tools but it’s mostly a Reason thing. I did have a keyboard attached to Reason so I actually played some of the organ parts but I programmed the piano and vibes and drums.
This piece reveals my love for things that drone as well as Steve Reich. Eno rules too. Enjoy it!
