On the Point of a Sphere
I have been unable to decide upon a final title for this mix. I am hovering between the present one; On the Point of a Sphere and two others, Clueless in a Cube, and Triangular Stridulations. The only thing I can truly be sure of is my sincere apologies to the TapeGerm artists whose loops were used to make this particular mix. Geometry was never my strong suit. I have taken the road less traveled; Now where the HECK am I?

Seven Dreaming Zebras
The seventh mix in the Dreaming Ape series. Do the other animals dream? Do they remember their dreams? Do their dreams even mean anything? If you really want to know, ask a zebra if its’ bad dreams are nightmares.

Zebra Mann
Just One of Those Days
Sometimes, when you are in the mood to create, the interruptions seem to be non-stop. While modern technology can help you create wondrous things, it also has the ability to allow for many distractions. This light-hearted mix is just for laughs. Ear Goggles are highly recommended for this one. Credits: David Fuglewicz Open loops, Fluxus Fone Open loops, and a sample of my own mixes. . Genre: Humor.

Zebra Mann
Mortality Revisited
I took two really great mixes, added a couple of ear friendly loops and blended them all together. Why it didn’t turn out sounding like a handful of ball bearings thrown into a kitchen blender set on liquify is anybody’s guess. It has a very somber and melacholy feel to it, so I’m hoping the next one I try is a little more uplifting. Dust off your ear goggles and crank up the volume. Credits: Mental Anguish – The Smell of Death; David Fuglewicz – Gone for Good; Buzzsaw Open loops, Heuristics Inc Open loops.. Genre: Awesome Audio.

Buzzsaw & The Shavings
Finding Content in a Bottle of Two Buck Chuck
At length, the salutations of an irrefutable realisation are made, sense and discernment are wooed with a facility and in their motions carry me forth towards a local counter and a bottle available even to such as myself. As exercise in finding contentment ensues, and this being dreadfully difficult to capture in music programs, mixery must stand, or affect a facsimile thereof. Credits: Arthur Loves Plastic Open Loops Mix. Genre: Felt Finesse.
