Bohacz & FrenzElectronic Tonalities (Digitally Augmented)This track is the sound for my video art piece “The Machines Possessed Me (Abstract v2) Part 1.” The Abstract v1.5 won the Best U.S. Experimental Short award in the July 2023 Austin International Art Festival. You can view this video at https://youtu.be/8o3pu5wE1f0 and https://vimeo.com/435367103.
“Electronic Tonalities,” the source for this track, represented my earliest audio art and improvised electronic music. With this revised version my wife Trish Happel and I have augmented the original digitally. You can hear my original “Electronic Tonalities" here: on.soundcloud.com/JcXNWxZPhZ3EV7zN8.2025-04-0807 min
Bohacz & FrenzGoodnight EverybodyIf memory serves, this was the second song I ever wrote (the first was "Rusty, My Favorite Dog"). It was 1968 and I was ten years old. I specifically remember that when I heard the Beatles’ “Goodnight,” I thought to myself: I came up with my song first. This long version finishes the song the way I more or less imagined it as a child, with an elongated section that would repeat into a sunny dreamscape. I didn’t have the patience to compose the extension while young but now it’s finished with the dreamscape transformed into a nightmare. Trish Happel pro...2025-02-0603 min
Bohacz & FrenzClyde Meets the AliensA version of this song won Best Psychedelic Song in The (2024) Psychedelic Film and Music Festival.
I wrote the song, sang lead vocal, played electric rhythm guitar. Ralph Warchol played a synthesizer of his for the drum track and low end. Perhaps it was Mike Davis's drum track, not sure. A friend of Ralph's, Dan the Man, played the electric guitar solo on this longer version of the song. This was recorded in Ralph's luxurious basement outfitted with his quarter inch reel-to-reel 8 channel recorder probably in very late 1982 or 1983.

Ralph Warchol got the drum track from an LP. We altered the speed to create the chipmunk voice effect. That also helped with our perceived instrument playing agility. Ralph played the electric bass and perhaps other instruments, if I remember correctly. I believe this was originally recorded at Faith Chapel Radio Recording Studio in Berwyn (yes, Svengoolie's Berwyn). This dates the original recording because I had access to that studio after I began working there in January of 1981.

Bohacz & FrenzFür EliseBagatelle No. 25 in A minor (WoO 59, Bia 515) for solo piano, commonly known as "Für Elise" (German: transl.

It was not published during his lifetime, only being discovered (by Ludwig Nohl) 40 years after his death, and may be termed either a Bagatelle or an Albumblatt. The identity of "Elise" is unknown; researchers have suggested Therese Malfatti, Elisabeth Röckel, or Elise Barensfeld. I'm playing my chord organ version for my nephew Jimmy.

Bohacz & FrenzJesus is the One, Jonny QuestMy mother, Martha Lee Bohacz, would record herself singing and playing guitar as part of her rehearsals for performing country gospel songs. Our Webcor reel-to-reel tape recorder's erase head was faulty and by accident I recorded parts of two episodes of "Jonny Quest" over my mother rehearsing what I believe to be titled "Jesus is the One." I could have recorded it any time after September 18, 1964 (first airing of "Jonny Quest") when I was 6 years old.
Mom performed music many times live at her church, Emmanuel Bible Church in Berwyn, Illinois, and other places. She often performed with my dad...2023-04-3005 min
