6th May 2025

Currently I’m living in Mexico. I have been here for nearly three and a half years. My place can be viewed on xxochi.com .

I have just disabled commenting on my various posts and have erased a huge amount of spam. If you wish to reach out to me for any reason please email norman@doctorquark.com.

My place is currently for sale as I intend to relocate to Quintaña Roo. I will be very happy to receive any inquiries for my property. See the brief flier below for basic details or on my xxochi.com website for further photos and a brief video. Note the Mexican Numero quoted at the bottom of the flier is actually a US number, so prefix with +1 if you are outside of the United States.

New Videos

I have began uploading my new videos. I shall also be updating my contact form since it hasn’t been working effectively. This should be working properly during the first week of February 2024. I’ll be away from home briefly before that hence the delay.

Ciao 🙂

MAR

During the past year I have been working on original songs with Jeremy Allen and Aaron Smith and we now have a new band called Mar. Our music could be described as Evolved Grunge. Check out our music at our new site marmusic.org

Here we are in the depths of winter, recording at Pyrate Llama Studio in Sheridan, Oregon.


Back to Lincoln City

I moved back to Lincoln City in October 2015. Towards the end of 2016 I created a new studio and am excited to include new equipemnt which includes, Nord, Roland and Korg synths to add to my exisitng Kurzweil, Novation and Moog keyboards. Computer systems updated plus Akai MPC (Music Production Controller), drum machine and KP3 effects.

 

New move, new projects

Still based in Ashland, Oregon, I finally bought a house on Scenic Drive.
I’m working on a soundtrack for a video pilot for which I am Executive Producer. The video work has been completed and editing begins this week in New York.
When completed I shall post a link to the video.

Sonic Expansion

The latest edition to our sonic arsenal has arrived. (click image to enlarge)Sub37_crop
This is the Moog Sub 37, the latest incarnation of the classic Minimoog synthesizer. A true analog machine, much refined, though still exhibiting the famed timeless raw sound of the early synths from the 60s.

I envision adding a new dimension to the, in my humble opinion, often rather overly sweet sound of average meditative music. I’m sure this will appeal to a wide audience. Time to get creative.
