    MEMOIRS FROM THE DEEP END

    *mayfairgrin weaves a schizophrenic journey through swirling pads and atmospheres with an ever-changing backdrop of filtered beats and loops.  This pads-meets-beats writing style paints two completely different sonic pictures and overlaps them.  Serene vs. chaos.  Peace vs. aggression.  Yin vs. yang. These contradictory ideas mesh flawlessly, like they belong together.

    "there’s a schizoid quality to our relationship with animals, in which sentiment and brutality exist side by side. half the dogs in america will receive christmas presents this year, yet few of us pause to consider the miserable life of the pig--an animal easily as intelligent as a dog--that becomes the christmas ham."

       About mayfairgrin
    impressionistic music existing outside of the verse-chorus-verse structures of a three-minute pop song that expand and blur the boundaries between folk, ambient and electronica.



    ::THESE ALBUMS ARE FREELY AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD::
    BACK YARD BLACK BIRDS
    2009 | Timetheory NetLabel

    creates a celestial sound... reflective and moody... meditative on a more complex level. 'BYBB' consists of two long drone pieces, that slowly shimmer and shift throughout their duration... get pleasantly lost in these pieces... extended, granulated, warm voices ebb and flow through the mix...
    [320Kbps MP3]
    OTSU.VIHARA - Phearofobia
    2006 | Nishi

    (a mayfairgrin side-project) "...From the blissful ambience of opening track 'psybuuria' to the thundering three-part epic 'narrow', and the varying degrees of what comes in between, *PHEAROFOBIA* is a study in harshness and relentlessness."
    [128Kbps MP3]
    GHOSTHEORY - rain
    2005 | Webbed Hand Records

    (a mayfairgrin side-project) "rain" is a long-form sombient, post-industrial, and experimental noise soundscape composition.
    [160Kbps MP3]
    WE HAVE WALKED BEHIND SKIES AND DANCED ABOUT ARCHITECTURE
    2005 | Webbed Hand Records

    A richly detailed work which takes the listener on a tour of myriad architectures of sound.
    [160Kbps MP3]
    SPIDER & THE MOON
    2004 | Webbed Hand Records

    "... a 31-minute composition which carries the listener on a textural tour through a varied soundscape..."
    [192Kbps MP3]
    PELICAGNOSIS
    2004 | Webbed Hand Records

    "The title of Pelicagnosis is no empty play on words. These four tracks do venture quite some distance into the realm of gnosis. Here is a blend of ambient sounds with addition of guitar, vocals, and other instruments..."
