AURORA 24

in June 1993

I received a grant to visit a fly in lake

50 km northeast of Chapleau Ontario

In August I arrived w/a whack of gear

and a rather loose agenda - my mission

to write & record an album of music

It was a blast

recommended listening: volume up,

good headphones after dark - it's a long-throw

and all very slow

spearmint lake

30 year anniversary edition

1993 - 2023

A U R O R A 2 4
volume up/1080p

37 faces, 37 gravestones

fast forward

my third remix of Aurora now in 2024

dreaming of Norway this time

and what it would

be like

here at night

in northern Ontario

something happens in late August,

early September that can't be described

sleeping under it can be dangerous

but life changing

ALICE 24

backstory

in 1994 (pre internet), I was hired to compose music

for a CD ROM for Alice in Wonderland

by a production company in the Netherlands

co-ordinated through a GTA producer

Toronto advertising media wunderkind

David Buder brought me on to do the soundtrack

having just released my 3rd album

night parachuting

I had some experience doing kid's music

for my wife then, Jody Terio

who had a children's theatre company

called Little Red Theatre

and a home studio now in north Parkdale to create it

setting up to finish Alice that summer

surrounded by gear

and storyboards

30 years later, pulling it out

dusting it off - tossing in some vintage Disney

some AI, a new remix here and shazam

it's unfortunate that CD ROMS

(entertainment/gaming/information)

never took off and the project

fizzled upon release as the format

quickly disappeared from the market

computer programs continued to sell

on discs until around 2003

before the CD ROM became extinct

that said, it was a whole lot of fun

doing it
