Yet another one! Here is track 5 from The Four Hard Edges Of War, “A Lifetime”: I remember this was was more dense in the beginning. It was really an improvement to make it more sparse to start. Space and silence really is your friend in music. I actually really hate wall of sound stuff, …
HEY! For the first time in like…what? 10 years? I’m writing these little blog posts again! Linking to TUNEZ, sayin some STUFF. 🙂 Ok…I’m gonna start in on The Four Hard Edges Of War, which is the last Third Option album, made mostly at CCRMA at Stanford. It’s a collaboration between me and Andre de …
I wanted to think about something. The roots of everything pretty are underground. I said this 8 or so years ago on my 2nd CD: …deep underneath that crust of the earth are animals that really have some girth to their worth you’re growin up the flowers of commercialization forever will the roots remain UNDER …
Monkey Rhymes, by Third Option Quick song. I could barely get the link and the lyrics and the buy button pasted by the time it was over! Yes this is the monkey rhymes one I talked of before that was so berated by some cat on Broadjam.com – here it is in all it’s glory! …
Run, by Third Option Pretty sure I improv’d this whole piece of poem here to tape. I remember a few days later I did an improv based on this – or – wait – it could be – yes I think it is – I think it’s reversed. What really happened was I did an …

“Still Phase Motion Mix” by Third Option. It seems like I was probably moving from one mix to the next, tweaking the next one based on the last. But I don’t necessarily remember. Sure I do! I was! Dammit! :)0 Well what can I say about this version? It’s a little different. It’s – a …
Third Option’s “Still, Murphurd’s Slow And Unrequited Love Mix” is above… Ok. Lot to explain on this one! First of all, Murphurd. For those of you who know me as Murph, Murph is actually short for Murphurd. I got the name Murphurd freshman year in high school, damn near the first day. I was new …
