Masley's Discography 
1. Watersigns (1983) (unreleased).
2. Cymbalom Solos (1985). Uncluttered bowhammer cymbalom pieces,
recorded in one afternoon. Always in print.
3. Mythos (with guitarist Barry Cleveland, flautist Kat Epple and
synthesist (the late) Bob Stohl; this recording was Cleveland's project.)
(1986) (Vinyl/out of print.)
4. The Moment's River (1987). Cymbalom, flutes, synthesizer and sampled
percussion in a more elaborately produced setting.
5. First Frost (with Barry Cleveland) (1986). Cleveland and Masley
also performed together live under the name Thin Ice. (Cassette/out of
print.)
6. Bells & Shadows (1989). A return to the simplicity of Cymbalom
Solos, but with several years' recording experience.
7. Voluntary Dreaming (1990). Barry Cleveland's exotic Scarlett Records
CD features Masley's trademark bowhammer cymbalom playing amid a sumptuous
tapestry of detailed guitar textures and polyrhythmic percussion. Now out
of print but sharp-eyed collectors may still find it in record stores.
8. Mystery Loves Company (1990). Features the Kabali and water-tuned
panpipes; also features Zakir Hussain on tabla. Rich, dense, experimental.
9. Sky Blues (1992). Excursions on cymbalom, autoharp; unique percussive
cymbalom pieces with "tribal" hand-drum accompaniment.
10. Cosmosis (with cellist Dan Reiter) (1992). Astonishingly broad
receiving antennae for improvisational inspiration: cymbalom, cello, and
a variety of flutes and panpipes.
11. Life in the Vast Lane (1993). Primarily solo cymbalom, with a
short sonic coffee break on Pan-Timbre-Reen and panpipes, this work alternates
between catchy arrangements in a modal vein and conscious attempts to set
aside familiar harmonic language.
