Thanks for reading this and visiting my page.I have a pretty wide selection of styles and genres that I work in, so if you don't like the first track or 2 you hear, give a few more a try and I imagine you'll find something of value in the pile.I always appreciate your thoughts on my music, so please feel free to leave comments. I also accept any kinds of feedback/critique, my art grows better and stronger from it.If you ask me to comment on your track (that is unreleased), be ready for the possibility of 'feedback' - not ego-stroking.I'm not attacking you or trying to embarrass you.I'm seriously trying to help your mix/song reach another level, so if you have thin skin about your art/track/music, you may not want to directly ask me to listen/comment. That said, keep in mind it's based entirely on my opinion/experience only, and that's really not worth that much, but I thought it was fair to say this as a few people have gotten offended when I didn't just put "great track" in their timed comments. Honestly, most of the time I only mention what I really like or make mix suggestions, I can see the beauty in everyone's self expression.
Btw, the term "WIP" means it is a work in progress. These are the developing tracks that I can use feedback on the most. p.s. If you should want a a mp3 of anything, just ask. Don't rip a lousy copy when you can easily get a hi-res version. As Always, thanks for listening.
All of the artwork featured on this page are by myself and/or my close friends. A particular shout out to C. Common ( http://www.redbubble.com/people/reason ) and Lacy Van Court for letting me use their images or letting me edit their images.
My ode to the end of every season of fireflies. They really make where I live magical and special this time of year.https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/study-habits-vol-2-2
A late night jam with some crazy stems provided by bfk for a IDMforums compilation. It's kind of a mess, but it is sort of a pretty mess.
A very old idea where I took a sound or noise from each of the artists from the Ootray collective and attempted to make a song out of it. Still working on it, but I like it better than i used to
The artist known as Generic Meds (https://soundcloud.com/iamgenericmeds) sent me a bunch of cool tracks to collab work with 10 years ago and life happened and I never got around to making anything out of it. Still don't know if I have, but here is where it is at lately. I don't love it yet and I know he won't either, but I haven't decided what to make happen with this track yet. All feedback is welcome.please take the time to get to know his actual stuff - it's amazing and I am shaming him with this work. https://soundcloud.com/iamgenericmeds
This is an alternative mix to an instrumental track I released in 2010. I found an old friend (from the band Water Fae) Lisa Taylor's original vocal file from a jam session in the mid 2000's and threw them on there for fun. It's an interesting alternative mix of the track. No plans to release this. Just playing around in the studio for the afternoon.
This track is celebrating a 20 year birthday today. I wrote it on a lonely weekend in 2005 while missing my old friends. Later on, I had some new friends sit in and help me finish it. It's old news to anyone who knows me, but I still love the vibe of this track.
Originally recorded in 2015, this is a short and simple track that sort of got lost in the pandemic. Still a work in progress, so feedback is welcome.
An old track in sort of an chillout, EBM style featuring some of the drum and bass wizardry of Justin3am and myself on vocals.
This was recorded 20 years ago and has been sitting in my drives for too long without being heard. This is a sort of radio edit of the original recording. Available as a free download on my Bandcamp: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/jaes-1
A remix I did for my other, sappier/cringe project "From Noise To Water" https://soundcloud.com/from-noise-to-water
Added another trip-hop-ish Christmas track to my ever-growing collection of Christmas/winter/holiday album "The White Elephant". https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/the-white-elephant
Made this mod of 'Green Sleeves' aka 'God Re Ye Merry Gentlemen' as a wip submission for my Christmas collection. I make a track or two for it every year for the last decode or so.https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/the-white-elephant
This is a noisy, low volume recording I made for an art installation by the late artist Becca Booker in 2004 . It is a live, ambient, and fairly experimental piece that I made in one shot inspired by both Becca and her artwork, which was exotic and experimental, as well. She was a huge inspiration on me as an artist and though we haven't seen much of each other much in the last 25 years, she will be missed and not forgotten.

Made this last year and forgot to put it up somewhere so the original artist could hear it. I still consider this a work in progress, but it might get weirder with time. I am a huge fan of this Justin's music, so it is an honor to get to remix one of his tracks.Original; track can be found here:https://3amnoise.bandcamp.com/album/phantom-distinction-fallacy

Another instrumental I was working on for an outside project. Nothing ground breaking, but had fun throwing this together for them.
A work in progress of a track written by my niece (Elena Opp) and nephew (Brady Opp). Posting for mix feedback.
Kind of experimental rock track work in progress. If this isn't used for any other project, it will likely get used in my 'from Noise to Water' project with me doing vocals on it.
An alternative version of a track put together a few years ago for an IDMf compilation featuring the talents of Cyber X (bbb). Probably will throw this on the next remix comp I put together, but for now it is what it is. :).
A song by my nephew (Brady Opp) and niece (Elena Opp) that we recorded last year. Still a work in progress. Posting for mix feedback.

Lisa from https://soundcloud.com/water-fae and her sister, Rachel, recorded in my studio many years ago. Setting this free.
This album is a collection of some back burner tracks or some early work I have had in "work in progress" rotation through the years. Thanks to those who helped me shape and inspire these tracks and those wonderful, long time companions who contributed to them
A Techno Hop homage to Stephen Hawking. credits from Hard Drive Recovery, released September 8, 2020
This is an instrumental version of a track I originally released in 2014 on the "A Product Of My Environment" album. I originally created this to use in my live set, but never got to use it. I like it enough on it's own, that I thought I would throw it on this release as a sort of 'bonus' track. credits from Hard Drive Recovery, released September 8, 2020
An updated mix of a slick little track from my 2010 release "Circle When Finished". I put this on my 2020 album "Hard Drive Recovery" for kicks and giggles.
Glitch hop slammed into downtempo IDM. Another track I made for the A La Kart compilation in 2006 that needed to be updated and renovated. credits from Hard Drive Recovery, released September 8, 2020
One of my wife's favorite tracks of mine, originally made in 2006. Updated and renovated in 2020. credits from Hard Drive Recovery, released September 8, 2020
A track I originally made in 2004 for a show at a gothic club in Denver. It got played, but I was not there to see any reaction to it. credits from Hard Drive Recovery, released September 8, 2020
A techno jam I originally started putting together in 2005.
from Hard Drive Recovery, released September 8, 2020
An old, almost purist IDM track originally started in 2004. This has gone through a lot of changes before reaching this mix.
Art for art's sake, redone.... An update to a track I made for an A La Kart compilation back in 2006. I have always wanted to go back and update this. The track is about my relationship with what is the most rewarding energy/resource/time/passion-hog in my life- music. It features Vim Cortez and myself in some obscure, glitch vocals on top of some truly bizarre music that features some additional guitar work from my 'Tulver Densa' cohort, Devin Venable. credits from Hard Drive Recovery, released September 8, 2020
This alternate mix of a track I released almost 10 years ago this week will be a bonus track on my upcoming release.
I made this long ago to use in my live set. Sharing it because I listened to it tonight and thought it was cool on it's own.
This remix really started out as more of a collab, but it took a life of it's own after I sat with it for a almost a year (sorry about that) and I thought it would be best represented as a remix. The lovely and talented Kaerian on vocals and SlyartE on drums, keys, and orchestration. I added some guitars, drums, and production and had a great time in a semi-producer role for this remix.
A great friend and supporter of my noise over the years, Fidelium https://soundcloud.com/fidelium made this remix for me a couple of years ago and I listen to it often. I will likely throw this on as a bonus track in a future remix compilation. The original track can be found here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/a-product-of-my-environment-remastered Thanks, Wayne!
Did a remix for Mrs. Dink a few years ago and never really knew what happened with it. So, I am throwing it on my birthday remix comp.
Was asked to do a remix for Italy's SlyArtË in the style of my track "Supernova lifestyle" and this is what landed, though it is barely a ghost of the awesome original track. SlyArtË's music can be found here: https://slyarte.bandcamp.com/releases
https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/jazzyspoon-remix-collection-4
I made this dub remix version quite a while ago and never did anything with it. Throwing it on my new remix comp seemed like the right idea. The original track, and my sloppy side project under the name "From Noise to Water", can be found here on my bandcamp: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-new Will release this remix compilation before the end of summer.
Not sure where or how I came upon these stems for this remix, but it's been on my drive since 2014 so I thought I would throw it on my next remix release. If anyone knows or can find the original artist(labeled 'Rathah' on my drive), I would love to share this with them. I don't do this kind of style of music much, but it was fun to be loud and noisy for a while.
A downtempo jazz jam I did with one of my boys. It is unfinished, but might eventually land in an interesting spot.
This track is a tin can I keep kicking around the yard. not near done, but worth getting some feedback on.
A re-up of the 2016 collab from Dolls Without Eyes frontman Devin V. and myself. Available here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/zenosyne
I am uploading a lot of remixes others have done for me over the years. This one is done by Spain's Phomorian https://soundcloud.com/phomorian . It is a hybrid/megamix of a handful of the tracks from my release "A Product Of My Environment" available here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/a-product-of-my-environment-remastered It is stellar.
Uploading a good amount of remix others have done for me this week. This one was done by my friend, Vlantis https://soundcloud.com/vlantis , who gave a super unique and beautiful perspective on my track "Daydreamwalkers". The original track can be found here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/a-product-of-my-environment-remastered Thanks, Joe!!
So grateful for a remix from artist extraordinaire Daz Disley https://soundcloud.com/daz-disley of my track "Absence" from the Circle When Finished" album I released in 2010. This one he threw some vocals on and add some cool instrumentation. The original can be found here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/circle-when-finished-remastered Thanks, Daz!
Another remix done by Houston's Daed https://soundcloud.com/daed of my track Perfect 2020 from a compilation I put together in 2009. original track can be found here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/technical-failure Thanks again, Ian!
Long time music friend, Zoozither (aka Polyslax)https://soundcloud.com/polyslax , remixed this side project for me 15 years ago and I still love it. He took a freestyle spoken word track (by J. Felix aka Jaeser) and manipulated it with drums and jazz keys. Thanks, Matt!
I have been uploading some remixes that others have done for me over the years to make a playlist. So very grateful and thankful for Denver's own Chase Dobson https://soundcloud.com/chase-dobson did this remix for me many years before we actually met in person. The original track can be found here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/a-product-of-my-environment-remastered Thanks, Chase!!!
I am uploading this to create a playlist of a lot of the remixes that have been done for me over the years. This one was done by Aaron Goodwyn https://soundcloud.com/second-nature and honestly it probably got more popular than any of the originals from my "Circle When FInished" album released in 2010. The original track can be found here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/circle-when-finished-remastered Thanks, Aaron!
This remix was done for me back in 2010 or so by Houston-based artist, Daed. Daed can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/daed and I am still super grateful for his remix. The original track is currently here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/technical-failure Thanks, Ian!
Going to make a folder of all of the remixes that have been done for me over the years. This one is from my Seattle based friend and inspirator, IG88. https://soundcloud.com/ig88 He remixed "It's All In My Head" from my release " A Product of My environment" and it was released on a netlabel release. The original can be found here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/a-product-of-my-environment-remastered
Thanks, B!
The music and synth work is by Aaron Goodwyne with me on guitar/vocals and Jess Peabody on vocals/percussion. Probably throw this on an upcoming 'From Noise to Water" release due out later this year. This alt project of mine can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/from-noise-to-water and on bandcamp
A podcast mix of my 2020 release "Technical Failure". The songs are in a random order. Available free here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/technical-failure
A slightly dark, abstract song about my own imperfections and how it affected my life (until I learned to embrace them and channel it into something positive). Who here remembers this being one of the first tracks they ever heard from me? I was playing with some of my older mixes and uploaded this.
A rough and random mix of the tracks on my 2020 release "Technical Failure" available free on Bandcamp: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/technical-failure or anywhere you stream music other than Soundcloud. :)

An update to a very old school techno hop track I made years ago featuring Stephen Hawking. Probably throw this on an upcoming release as a bonus track, though I might rework the arrangement and mix a little.
A remix I did back in 2005 brought back to life. This one didn't make it onto my last remix comp due to not being ready, so I am posting for mix feedback in order for this to land on my next remix comp. I have no idea where Runagate left the original version of this track, but it was a fun jazz trip to play with. Free Download: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/jazzyspoon-remix-collection-4
This is a collab track that I hastily put together with IDMf's TvMcc as a submission to a collaboration compilation. It was not accepted and that's probably because it wasn't ready yet. I might still work on it over the next year or so and release it on my own later on, but the track will need some time to mature into something more interesting. Thanks to TvMcc for his creativity and acceptance of the place this has landed or will land.
A collab from myself and CyberX released as a free download on IDMF Netlabels bandcamp page: https://idmfnetlabel.bandcamp.com/album/idmf-056-date-nite Please check out the rest, it's an amazing release!

http://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/the-jazzyspoon-remix-collection-3 Entered this into a remix contest using only the vocal lines and lost horribly to a pretty standard EDM remix.

She always loved the honesty in my wavering vocals. :) The original version can be found here: www.jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/looking-backward-moving-forward
Thanks to Jonny Marion for laying down the bluesy lead guitar. It was the pro-level touch this track needed.
https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-new The title track to a long overdue album from my side Project "From Noise To Water". The album turned out great. Thanks to Jordan Ashcraft for the drone guitar and Theron Thompson for the lead guitar. This was a blast to make. Only took a decade or two to finish and release.
https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-new Downtempo, experimental trip hop. This is actually a track by both of my personal projects, Jazzyspoon and From Noise to Water.
https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-new NIN inspired, no doubt. This song is roughly 25 years old. So relieved to finally release it.
Keyboard lead by Sonic Arts. http://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/the-jazzyspoon-remix-collection-3
Who remembers this mix from 2012? Let's see if the SC bots recognize these amazing tracks.... tracklist to come...
This track is about friends/loves that I have lost to time, but will never forget. It definitely captures my 'acoustic era' of the late 90's and early 2000's where I went under the moniker "from Noise to Water". I recently opened this old track in the newest version of Cubase and this was what was exported. Throwbacks aren't just for Thursdays. Yeah, that's me trying to sing. Additional guitar lead by Jon Marion.
Available on your latest IDM Forums release "Acluophboia - IDMF048 Dark Techno". It is indeed dark techno. Available here: https://idmfnetlabel.bandcamp.com/album/va-achluophobia-idmf-dark-techno I mastered this version for my own tastes.
An alternate mix of this track from my 2014 release "A Product Of My Environment". Throwing on the compilation.
https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/throwback A pretty, alt-rock slow jam that started out as a track from another project, but found a good home in Water Fae (circa 2003). credits from Throwback, released September 28, 2017 Vocals: Lisa Taylor Music: Jason Pottorff (aka Jazzyspoon)
A collection of just a few of the tracks from early Water Fae (circa 2003 - 2008). At the time, Water Fae was Jason Pottorff and Lisa Taylor, but the project eventually blossomed into a full-on band with various players from the Seattle music scene. We had fun and made some interesting and artful electronic pop that never really got an official release of it's own. So, I put a few of the tracks here for Lisa's birthday this year. I'll put more up over time.
The modern Water Fae band's music can be found here: www.waterfae.com or here: soundcloud.com/water-fae
One of our first tracks we ever recorded. Definitely a pagan, almost ritualistic song. Originally written in 2000 and then rerecorded in 2004 with the help of our friend, Matt R. on congas. credits from Throwback, released September 28, 2017 Vocals: Lisa Taylor Music: Jason Pottorff (aka Jazzyspoon) Conga: Matt Reitsema

Our disco diva track that was never really finished.

Put on your shiniest roller skates. I wanted to do vocals for this, as the lyrics are so amazingly appropriate for the current state of the USA, but I haven't had the time and/or probably the vocal range. One of my favorite tracks of all time. Glad to have a cover of it. Original version can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57Ykv1D0qEE
An update of a remix I did back in 2007. Still a work in progress. This is for an upcoming remix album.
Easily in my top 10 favorite artists to have come across ever, Justin3am (aka Justin Sullivan) was kind enough to let me remix one of his tracks that really didn't need remixing, if I'm being honest. So grateful for the opportunity. Please listen in on his works, as he is heavily underappreciated by the masses in my eyes. The original can be found somewhere in here: http://www.soundcloud.com/justin3am or here: www.3amnoise.net
This remix turned collab has been one of my popular uploads to soundcloud (working title was "the coldest"). I'll release it here as it was intentionally created - a remix for my good friend Zoozither (aka Polyslax), though it is only barely recognizable as such.
His original track can be found here: www.zoozither.com/audio/tracks2009.htm Zoozither is one of my favorite musicians of all time. Please visit his site, get lost in the music, and support his noise. www.zoozither.com
Originally done in 2012, I updated it a little for this release.
The original, powerful digipunk track by Vlantis (and the artist himself) can be found here: http://www.soundcloud.com/vlantis/cute-overlord-latest-version
For those of you who speak Japanese, please forgive the butchering of the poor girls lyrics. I love remixing Vlantis tracks.
France's Vim Cortez is a true treasure of catchy lyrics and artistic sensibility that I really enjoy working with. I submitted this remix to a remix compilation back in 2013 and really wish I had gotten more time with it. This is the most current mix of it and I am more satisfied with it..
The original track can be found here: http://www.soundcloud.com/santo-muerte-records/vim-cortez-better-tomorrow-1
Vim's website is here: www.vimcortez.com
I did this remix back in 2009 for KVR's Mr. Me. I have done a few remixes of his tracks over the years and they will likely be on future remix compilations. I can't find the original song, but the artist is here: http://www.soundcloud.com/sonic_arts
The original files for this remix have been lost to time, so I thought I would add it as a extra track due to it's the same version as I released many years ago.
The amazing original track that I turned into something else entirely, is available here: http://www.soundcloud.com/brokers/01-3032
A unique "collab remix" between Electromass (aka Neuroscientist) and myself of a track I released last year (2016) on my "Lull Between the Lullabies" album available here: http://www.jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/the-lull-between-the-lullabies
We bounced this back and forth til each of us had a mix. This one is mine. More by Electromass here: http://www.soundcloud.com/electro-mass It's hot.
Originally created in 2011, this was a sort of ghost production turned remix for a long time friend (Mark L.) and an up and coming super creative artist named Ol1n.
I can not track down the original track to share, but the artist can be found here: soundcloud.com/ol1n
Free Download on bandcamp.
Tode is a fellow IDMf alumni who I did this remix for back in 2010. I was always impressed with the song, but really had a hard time finding a 'finished' remix. This is the last version I worked on.
The original track and artist can be found here: http://www.soundcloud.com/tode/computer-issues
A podcast mix of the entire album I released this year of alternative/updated mixes from my 2014 album "A Product Of My Environment". This mix and the album are available here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/the-alternative-mixes-of-my-environment
A work in progress. Just fooling around with some beats and sound design. Nothing fancy yet and feedback is welcome...
An instrumental(ish) version of an old track that I need to redo the vocals on. Updates to come.
This is an edited version of a collab track made by Grimbit, Rory Mays, and myself (Jazzyspoon) last year. It seems to have disappeared from the net, so I'm uploading a newer version to get it back in the stream. If you should want a copy, just ask.
A more ambient drone version of this track that I originally designed for a video, but scrapped it. Sharing it here anyways.
Ambient Dub Hop. From a small collection of alternate mixes of tracks from my 2014 album "A Product Of My Environment". The rights to this album return to me this week, so I thought I would upload a few of these previously unreleased versions. Original album also available at www.jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com

Couldn't find this older remix of my track "Perfect 2020" by Daed from 2009 anywhere on line, so I thought I would post it here for a minute. I still love this remix, Ian. Thanks for doing it. Free mp3 download. The original can be found here for reference: https://soundcloud.com/jazzyspoon/perfect-2020
A ambient IDM meets Bristol bounce triphop instrumental. I have no idea what to do with this track, as it fits absolutely nowhere in my catalog (imo)
My throwback Thursday upload for the week. A remix I did for my collab project with my good Denver friend, Jaeser (J. Felix). Probably going to throw a version of this on my next remix album.
An old rock track I made with my friends Theron Thompson (lead guitar)and Jordan Ashcraft (Bass). I would more likely put this under my "From Noise To Water" moniker than Jazzyspoon if I ever get around to actually releasing it.
Old school Detroit techno hop with UK vinyl flavorings. ThrowBack Thursday continues with this track from 2006.
Free Download. https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/throwback A chill trip hop/rock track made in 2004 under the name Water Fae with my friend Lisa Taylor.
Originally from my 2010 release "Circle When Finished". I remastering the album, since it's been 7 years since I finished/released these tracks and was really new at mastering at the time. Nothing too different and I am really doing this for myself more than anything else.
Another somewhat unadventurous Holiday jam. Nothing fancy, but I enjoy making at least one of this type of track every year. I'll post it for a week or so, then release it for free as we get closer to Christmas.
Playing around with some improv firebeats for an upcoming podcast. Nothing fancy, but thought I would share.
We need some holiday spirit flowing right now. This is a old mashup/remix of a Christmas album by Ella Fitzgerald available as a bonus track on my upcoming remix compilation. If you want a copy of this version now, just ask, don't rip it. I'll give you a hi res version. Happy Holidays!
An old fav of my wife's. Nothing too fancy, just experimenting with a Lynch-esque downtempo hybrid.
From my 2016 release "The Lull between The Lullabies". Zoozither was the real mastermind behind this one, but it was great to finally release it.
Ambient trip rock space prog. A sci-fi epic I tried to make for a movie that doesn't exist.. I might have failed overall, but it's a good track nonetheless. This is an alternate mix of a track I submitted to an IDMf netlabel compilation last year.
from "The Lull Between the Lullabies", released October 10, 2016 https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/the-lull-between-the-lullabies
Music, guitars, arrangement, vocals, production: Jazzyspoon Additional vocals: Jess Peabody
I put this album together quietly while my newborn son (Julian) slept in the next room. It is made for him, especially the last track "The Life Of A Second". Thanks for the musical contributions of Zoozither (track 2), Joshua "Jaeser" Felix (track 4), and Abreaktor (track 6). My albums are made to be listened to with the ends overlapped and in a specific order, so I have uploaded a few of them in 'podcast' form every now and then. Track list, download, and more available at: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/the-lull-between-the-lullabies
An ever so slightly modified version of this older track from my album "The Lull Between The Lullabies". Enjoy
Experimental IDM meets a downtempo pop nursery rhyme? Either way, it's fairly weird. This is the newest version of this collab between me and Germany's Abreaktor. As always, thanks for listening. :) Some will ask, so yes, that is me on vocals.
This peaceful track is a collab with one of my favorite artists ever, Zoozither (aka Polyslax). It was such an honor to work with him. The music itself is all him, with only a dusting of production and vocals done by me. He truly is gifted and I am ridiculously happy to finally be putting this on a release. Zoozither's music can be found here: www.zoozither.com lyrics I could empty all the light, Burning colors black from white, Loosing all my self control Burying my tired soul Healing when my hearts astray, The tiny squares of green portray all the hope I could enslave, It's in the garden I am saved.

From my latest release "The Lull Between The Lullabies". https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/the-lull-between-the-lullabies Who will you be? Who will you share your life with? What will matter to you? A work in progress that has enough momentum to share. For a yet to be born son. He's due in the next few weeks. I.am.excited.
This was a collab with Abreaktor, an amazing experimental electronic musician out of Germany that I met in the IDMf forums. I can only take credit for some light production and the vocals, as he contributed the awesome music for this track. So glad to be putting this on a release finally. More of Abreaktor's music can be found here: www.soundcloud.com/abreaktor lyrics white sand, red brick, sunshine, blood, Love, wine, Stained glass, Roses, Flood
Shades of intervention grin at all the places you have been Mark the spot to where I dream with galaxies of air to breathe Wander, wonder, wasted still I need to go but never will
I got a few request over the years for an instrumental version of this track. I got kind of attached to it and thought it would be a nice addition to this chill album. The original "vocal version" featured a hip hop artist and friend from Chicago, Jaeser, on vocals and was released on a previous album of mine called '2020 Hindsight'. credits from The Lull Between the Lullabies, released October 10, 2016 https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/the-lull-between-the-lullabies Drums. synths, guitars/bass, production, and mix : Jazzyspoon Vocoder vox: Josh Felix (Jaeser)

Downtempo Ambient Folk hop. Another 'payback remix' I have made in gratitude for the remix work done by Phomorian on my "A Mutation of My Environment" remix comp release this year. This is a track by an experimental folk band called Rarefolk (of which Phomorian is a member) - thier website is here : www.rarefolk.net The original track is here on youtube: https://youtu.be/8ZS2ZdUNIMY
This was a payback remix for my Seattle peeps who submitted to my remix comp many moons ago. I updated it for this release. The original can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/yourcitysleeps/the-breath-i-take-feat-arvb
Another payback remix, as I owe this guy a lot for his support over the years. The original track/album "I'll Be Famous When I'm Dead" by Fidelium, is here: altered-echo.com/2013/11/05/out-now-aep005-fidelium-ill-be-famous-when-im-dead/

Downtempo glitch hop. A remix I made for a long time friend, 22Tape, of his track "Liquidity" off of his latest release "Shelf Life" available here: (and HIGHLY recommended) : 22tape.bandcamp.com/album/shelf-life-ep
Psychedelic Trip Pop. Because I played most of the instrumentation and production on this version of Eko Centrik's 'Alchemy', I really considered it a collaborative effort, but the truth is this is a wonderful track written by them and I don't want to diminish that. So, I thought I would add it to this remix release, as it is definitely worth sharing. Sarah's voice stole my heart and this song truly captured the muse in me. Thanks for letting me play around with this, guys. Eko Centrik can be found here: soundcloud.com/sazb30
Slow, ethereal ambient downtempo. A sort of 'ghost' production that never made it to the public ear after I worked on it a couple of years ago, so I thought I would post a track here as a remix (which is legitimately what this is) and see how it is felt. There's a whole album of this stuff floating around out there. The original artist is here: www.soundcloud.com/ol1n I have no link to the original track relating to this remix.
A fairly uninspired remix of a fairly uninspired song- "No Limit" by Usher I made for an indaba remix contest (not his or my best work). I'll just make the excuse that I choose a bad time (around the birth of my son) to work on a time-constrained remix contest submission. Posting it because it really wasn't finished or worth finishing, but some might find value in it. Added as a bonus track on my RC-1 album.
A remix I did a decade ago resurfaces for an upcoming remix compilation release of my 'almost forgotten' remixes. Me on obscure vocals and some added instrumentation.. The original can be found here: https://fuguestate.bandcamp.com/track/wtf and the artist can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/synthgeek and here: http://www.fstateaudio.com/
This track is mostly nonsense, but I'll keep working on it til it's finished. Was at a nice place to share it for mix feedback. Vocal clips randomly captured from my friend, Jaeser, long ago. the mix feels mid heavy at this point, but I'll be able to carve that down on the next session with it.
A private copy of a live recording from 1997. Also known as the "Orange Tape". Band members: Jason Pottorff (aka Jazzyspoon), Chris Common, and Brandon Gulley (rip). All hardware, and it sounds like it. Transferred from an old, beat up cassette tape.

Industrial meets glitch step. Back with an updated mix of one of my collab tracks with L.A. experimental electronic artist, Justin3am. Not for people who don't like it noisy and loud. This was fun to work on. Free download (via bandcamp).
Revisited a popular track of mine (for fun) from my 2010 release "Circle When Finished". Nothing new added to it, just an updated cleaner mix. I will release this as a free download in the next week or so as soon as I feel done with it. Additional guitar by Jon Marion and vocal clips by Lisa Taylor.
My weird ode to the hometown of my youth. Stay strong, Detroit. Still a work in progress, but I'm happy enough with where this one is sitting.
A simple, chill work in progress I made with my son, Max. I let him have some of the vocal fun here while I played around with some freestyle jazz programming. Maybe this will turn out to be something, maybe not. It was fun to work on. Updates might come over time.
A very ambient, soundtrack Christmas-themed track for 2015. A twist on a classic with some singing in the background by my niece, Elena. I will set this as a free download on Christmas eve. Til then, seems like a good time as any to upload this. Enjoy and Happy Holidays.

Free download. Downtempo trip hop instrumental with a flare for the dramatic and cinematic. A collaboration on a track idea that Zoozither came up with in 2008 and I railroaded with the help of Silent Sister's vocals. Made for, in my mind, a fictional sci fi film.

For your Halloween hangovers and regrets.. https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/a-product-of-my-environment-remastered
Experimental IDM glitch hop Another one I'm just temporarily posting for feedback. Runagate on the horns.
Another work in progress. Very digital, cold IDM. Definitely has some work to do, but it's developing into something interesting. Any feedback would be great. MIx updated 03/12/2020
Another collab between Mr. Me and I with forum acquaintance Caroline Kim donating her vocals. Mr. Me on synths and Jazzyspoon on drums/guitars/synths/bass/effects/production/mixdown, etc. Made for an FL forum contest using Caroline's vocals recorded by Auvic.. free download available in this collection: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/the-jazzyspoon-remix-collection-3
I don't often upload my remixes to Soundcloud unless they turn into full blown collabs, but I have decided to make a few exceptions based on the fact that they are far enough removed from the originals. Released on the IDMf Netlabel. Original, Power Pop/punk track by Vlantis track available here: http://soundcloud.com/idmforums-collective/01-cute-overlord
For those of you who speak Japanese, please forgive my butchering of the poor girls lyrics.
A collab between justin and I.Justin3am on drums/synths/glitches/concept/ lyrics and myself on synths/production/mix/drums/vocals/guitar/arrangement.We did this a while ago, but i'll call it a wip because I can and will still change/improve it based on feedback.:)
Despite the cheese, this track means a lot to me. It's an older song of mine written for and from the perspective of a dog named Amber.
Just for fun and for the season, i wanted to upload this older track of mine.Happy holidays. For winter, I have decided to make this as a free download.
Re-uploading this album mix from my 2010 release "Circle When Finished". Re-mastered in 2017. This mix is available with the album itself on bandcamp at: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/circle-when-finished-remastered
A track I got the pleasure of producing in 2010 with the band "Twice On Sunday", a sort of side project of Water Fae. The project fizzled a little bit over the years, but I still have this great recording so I thought I would share it. :)
An electronic shoegazer, DnB, IDM track from 2010. Thanks to Jon Marion for his work on the second lead guitar and Lisa Taylor (Water Fae) for the vocal samples.This track goes out to my friends Mark, Dave, and Brandon (RIP) that I made this kind of music with all of the time in the mid 90's under the band name "The Waystill". This track is and has always been dedicated to them and their unending inspiration to my music. Available here: https://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/track/supernova-lifestyle
Thanks to Mel (Silent Sister) for the vocal ooze.This could not have been done without her. from my CD "Circle When Finished" . available at: http://jazzyspoon.bandcamp.com/album/circle-when-finished
Remastered in 2017
I upload this one at Halloween almost every year. It is the spookiest IDM track I think I have in my collection. Originally released in 2010, this has been remastered this year.
It's going to be a snowy Halloween this year. Try to enjoy the beauty of it all. This track features Silent Sister https://soundcloud.com/chalet-simpatico on vocals and arrangement.
Originally from my 2010 release "Circle When Finished". I remastering the album, since it's been 7 years since I finished/released these tracks and was really new at mastering at the time. Nothing too different and I am really doing this for myself more than anything else.

A Jazzyspoon classic? Definitely a 'fan' favorite. Originally from my 2010 release "Circle When Finished". I remastering the album, since it's been 7 years since I finished/released these tracks and was really new at mastering at the time. Nothing too different and I am really doing this for myself more than anything else.
Originally released in 2010 on my album "Circle When Finished", this is an alternate mastering of this track. I think it sounds good and better than I did with it originally, but I am an audiophile so it's hard to tell...

Thought I would post a 10 year old track from Vlantis that I did some weak, but meaningful vocals over. Free Download. Vlantis can be found at: https://vlantis.bandcamp.com/
Actually released in 2005 under the title "Architexture", this was an ambient drone installment piece I made using various hardware and software. Chilly, ambient dreamscapes emulating the bizarre feeling of being semiconscious during sleep. Honestly, this was made more as a background noise for a nap. Free Download.
