Radio Free Clear Light
An ongoing experiment in using musical improvisation as well as other forms of artistic creativity.
Tome to the Weather Machine's description of Feuerkreis:
"...a beautiful and beguiling piece of electroacoustic music that mutilates the human voice into melodic fragments and smears it across the digital landscape like the refraction of a cracked screen."

"Silence"
A new RFCL video
Yo quería decirles:
Yo solo soy un filosofo y un artista
Pero ya solo había silencio.
I wanted to tell them:
I am only a philosopher and an artist.
But there was only silence.

Coverage for "Feuerkreis" from Music Blog R+
The blog is in Spanish but here's a partial translation:
"this single is a dynamic trip with curves,
hypnotic straight lines
and, of course, rocky side roads
which makes this track a very emotional experience..."

Se que estoy en un sueno que se repite, una y otra vez,
Un mantra vacio que eternamente regresa.

Are You Going? (Scarborough 1) Originally recorded in July 2010 Mixed and re-imagined for 2023 Participants: Colin Hamilton - acoustic guitar Mark Goldstein - electric guitar Thom Tamayo - synth noise Max Abelev - laptop noiz Eta
my cupped hands hold the remnants of a dream
a series of images
water
some sort of boom
whispers of a cult never seen
they threw flowers over the cliff's edges
we gathered the fragrant petals and brought them home
i had been trying to leave
and then smelling the flowers, was glad i hadn't.
we work towards dreaming together.
webs knotted and then twisted and then a splash of light
and our hands deciding, holding so much color in close contact.
rainbows turned black with so much information.
in the promise of dawn is also the threat of obliteration
it hangs everpresent
mostly ignored.
it is the discordant boom which shakes me
breaks the mirror
reveals the ancient
looming
so heavy in the darkness.
i look to my hands, they hold the remnants of a dream.
