Violent Skies was part of my three song senior project in 1991. My friend (and fellow Music Synthesis Dept. lab monitor at Berklee) recorded Violent Skies for a recording project. It was my first hack at microtonal music. It was my 1980s song, Violet Skies, flipped completely backwards, ending to beginning, then remapped to the closest 19 note per octave tones. My vocal track was also flipped backwards. I called it Violent instead of Violet to give it a new name, and it only made sense to turn it into a video using 1991 Iraq war footage.
Do It Right was a song I wrote while I was as a lab monitor in the Berklee Music Synthesis Dept. It was about the McDonnell Douglas DC-X (Delta Clipper) vertical rocket. I was following the program, and felt compelled to sing about it after it fell over and caught fire in 1996, and the program was cancelled. The DC-X project served as an inspiration to several important companies since then, including Blue Origin and SpaceX.
