Snowfallby Craig Padilla and Skip Murphy
Craig Padilla and I recorded this electro-ambient piece in 1994, or earlier, according to the sound file. It remained unfinished and “in the can” since then. More a sketch than anything else. I stumbled across it looking through some old material. Barely remembered. It’s a pleasant sketch, elaborated on here to just about 7 minutes.

Electro-Ambient music from the ’90s. It’s the indigenous music of ReallyRedding.

Relax Craig Padilla, Skip Murphy, Ron Dare.
Experimental music from a late night jam with friends.

Way back in the ’90s, Chico DJ Ron Dare came to Dancing Astronaut Studio in Redding for a night of jamming.

I wondered what it would be like to play live inside the Schreder Planetarium in Redding. Now I know.

An appropriately hypnotic video by visual artist Zrnho set the music Craig Padilla and I recorded in 2010, using analog synthesizers:

Another Zrnho video interpretation. This one is from a collaboration between me, Craig, and Zero Ohms, Beyond the Portal.

A prolific poster going by 10zen10 has created a music video with pretty bird images taken by photographer Daniel O’Byrne. It’s set to the music I helped create along with Craig Padilla and Zero Ohms a few years back, a piece called Realm of the Spirit, from the CD Beyond the Portal, released on the Lotuspike label. A nice meditation.
