Sleep Music 1
I’ve long been inspired by ambient music and sleep to it almost every night. This release features a 53-minute track of slow guitar and light effects. The track slowly changes over time. It’s available on all major streaming platforms.

Well In The Woods – En Memoria (2020)
Well In The Woods is made of Joy Woodburn (voice, production, keyboard) and Brogan Woodburn (guitar). We were living on Oregon’s coast in Seaside at the time. This album goes between heavy industrial rock and softer, longing sounds you can compare to intros or interludes of some Porcupine Tree songs.
Venerable Showers of Beauty – Cherish, Consider, Conserve, Create: Compositions for Gamelan by Lou Harrison (2017)
I was one of about a dozen musicians on this recording (with Joy Woodburn as well) led by the amazing Mindy Johnston. From Bandcamp: “The Venerable Showers of Beauty (VSB) Gamelan is a group of Lewis & Clark College students, alumni and community members, based in Portland, Oregon, specializing in the performing arts of Java. Founded in 1980, the VSB Gamelan has performed throughout the Northwest at hundreds of events. Mindy Johnston is the current director.”
Joy and I both rotated playing gamelan instruments like the gambang, gender (pronounced with a hard g), bonang, and gong. Playing in a gamelan was an amazing experience. If you haven’t heard of the music before, check it out. Gamelan Pacifica is another great group based in the Northwest (I got to play in that as a student at Cornish under Jarrad Powell way back in 2008-2009). Gamelan instruments use their own scales that are completely different from the equal-tempered notes we’re used to in Western music.
