This is the first piece in the Combined Classics series. Moby Dick + Beethoven is a 24-hour vocoded piece which combines Herman Melville's unabridged novel Moby Dick and the string quartets, piano sonatas, and symphonies of Ludwig van Beethoven. This work was inspired by the number stations which appeared shortly after World War II.

The entire work is available as high quality mp3s on a data dvd with design and illustrations by Nick Spolarich. It is available here.

   Number of Vanishing Moments, released on Discrete Spectrum in May 2012, is a cinematic album. It's an album employing contemporary classical theories over a web of interlocking guitars. It's future pop while not being pop at all, an album existing on the edge of somewhere but never unfamiliar. A possible tomorrow today.
