There is something more that shines through all that we do and feel. Deliciously polyphonic and full of healing love, “Open the Light” is a gift made of gifts. Thank you so much to Alexander Bernat, who has taught me and so many others about power of kindness and the joy of giving. Mad Dog Friedman on oak flute and Theremini. Alexander Bernat on Celtic harp.
Symphony of the Heart
Just released (as in 5 minutes ago) my most ambitious solo Theremini project to date: the Symphony of the Heart, 37 minutes of spontaneous compositions in six movements. For me it is next to miraculous to be able to paint these rich polyphonic landscapes in a series of single solo recording sessions simply by waving my arms around. Thank you for all your support and encouragement. Sometimes I wonder about myself.

Cranial Sacred
Just finished the new Theremini CD. There is something going on when I listen to or make this music. Hard to describe, but I like the sensation and where it leads me. Please let me know what you think.

Turnings #visualsoundscapes
“Turnings” Almost done now with Cranial Sacred. Stay tuned for more Visual Soundscapes from the CD. There is something going on here.
Entropy, a new Theremini visual soundscape
My newest Theremini visual soundscape. Hot off the hard drive. Is this the beginning of a new CD? What does Cranial Sacred mean anyway? Why do I keep doing this? #visualsoundscape, #CranialSacred

Drones for Peace Launch
It’s done. 17 tracks and over an hour of pure Theremini bliss. Not like anything I have ever done. Not sure who might like this. Not sure why I am releasing this. Ultimately I feel if you resonate with it, I would be be happy to give it to you, it is all about connection and healing, so just message me on Facebook at facebook.com/maddogharp and I will send you a free download code.

Hand in the Machine Video
My hand is deep in the machine on this one, not caught there, but flapping around like a fish, wiggling off the hook, I feel I might break free!
Eye Land
Sometimes I think about this very old alien Muppet trapped on a tropical island playing an ethereal accordion. Sometimes I can’t get his haunting music out of my head. Is it a self-portrait? Maybe, but not mine. I mean it is the nature of art to blur reflection and introspection. It is at the heart of human nature to define your own reality. All art is a self-portrait in one way or another.
The Whole (or maybe The Bowl)
|
I wanted to make my Theremini into an an electronic singing bowl that shimmered with harmonics and dripped with drone. My pedal board along with its particle synthesizer and EH Ravish Sitar pedal figure predominately in this ruse.
