Story: A dreamy cinematic ambient song to accompany your time mirror viewing sessions. Composer's Notes: This song was inspired by sci-fi movies, tv series, and books that explore peering into the multiverse and time-travel. The title was inspired by the Outer Limits episode "Demon with the Glass Hand". Producer's Notes: This song was produced in three sessions: Session 1: I composed 4 layers off-grid varying  between even and odd bar lengths ranging from 4-9 bars performing on Ableton Push 2. The interplay of these even and odd lengths results in melodies and motifs that round-robin in interesting ways and often result in call and response. I improvised a lead melody line with all these layers in motion performing on keys. You hear this melody in the final piece starting around 1m9s. The notes in the bell sound throughout are triggered using varying levels of probabilities to add variety throughout the piece. Session 2: I did a real-time mix down and arrangement session using Ableton Push 2 to perform with these "musical objects" to turn them into this song. Session 3: I did a mastering session doing some lite editing of all the automation for synth parameters and volumes. I added and additional automation envelope to the bells layer at the end of the piece to introduce increasing pitch randomization to the granular synth engine to cause the bells to drift to become more dissonant.

Composer's Notes: Inspired by a photo of a gossamer web taken with a macro lens in my front yard, I wrote a song about a spider. Be the spider. Producer's Notes; I used FM, analog modeled, and granular synthesis. I incorporated a field recording from of a drunk crowd singing in an underground tunnel on the way to the next train out in the London Tube at 1 AM on New Years 2018.

Story: Quite some time ago an alien child instantiated our reality using some silly game they found on their parent's hand-me-down computer. As time went on they noticed the rainforests were being destroyed for a variety of reasons which would soon end the simulation. The child was quite attached to some of the people in the simulation and of course didn't want to have restart the simulation all over again from beginning. So, without their parent's permission, the child opted to buy the in-app purchase to heal the rainforests by turning back the rainforest clocks. Play now continues.

Cover Art Notes: I manipulated a photo I took while walking to through the rainforest of Great Otway National Park on the way to Henderson Falls. Some of the trees are estimated to be over 200 years old. Credits: Story, Music, Cover Art by Mark Mosher Copyright Mark Mosher 2019 My artist site is here MarkMosherMusic.com

"Of Snow and Light" is episode 8 of the Sonic Encounters podcast season 2. It's an original soundscape featuring some warm classic synth sounds and pads. Photo is from a very unique skiing experience I had at Copper Mountain Colorado where I got to ski at night in a snow storm with only a headlamp and ambient light.
