Cathexis Volumes 1 + 2
The first collection, and therefore the oldest music in the RRRC project. Here you will find the roots of the processes and methods that I built upon through the rest of the project. Track names are more often 'descriptive' than 'meaningful' or 'poetic,' but may also refer to the filename/source of the original .wav files used in their creation.

- Atmosphere
- Radio Ah
- hi v1
- Glassine
- grind
- Sci-Fi Soundtrack
- pulse percussion 1.2.2

Three Suites
Three related multi-piece song cycles that were all created in one creative burst following the initial sketchings of the Cathexis works.
The first, 'unLab,' is about process: each successive track of the suite is a re-working of the piece before it.
The second suite, 'Bonestell,' is inspired by the space art of Chesley Bonestell (1888-1986) and is intended as a soundtrack to the early space art, space exploration (particularly the Mercury and Gemini missions), and the Cold War that drove the Space Race.
The third suite, 'Main' takes its name from the ambient/atmospheric band of that name. Although this suite does bear resemblance to the "drumless space" of that band, the track titles will also show you that I'd been reading H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine," around that time.
Three Suites track list:
- unLab
- unLab2
- unLab3
- bonestell 1 - Before
- bonestell 2 - First Steps
- bonestell 3 - Across the Stars
- bonestell 4 - Soviet Radio
- bonestell 5 - Pioneer 1
- main 1 v2
- main 2 Komputer
- main 3 Physical Plant
- main 4 Morlock
- main 5 Morlock II
