Our blood is the same colour It’s just not the same solution Mine is thin and briny And it’s stuck by noise pollution Let’s move to the country We’ll pretend we don’t have problems We’ll have dinner parties Make our friends think we…

I’ll hit the road Tonight I suppose My eyes do a roll When you make your joke (why are you gonna hit the road? Are you mad at it?) I wanted to Be of some use Words in my mouth Cut my tongue out It’s not so bad This foreign land…

I am fed my daily bread and I get you my daily two it’s been said you have to lose So I put my foot in the other shoe It’s harder than it looks to be prolific It takes about half a book of songs I’ve written To make my brain split…

Here’s day one of my d2! knew I would have very little time, so I hummed a melody on my way to work, worked out the lyrics on my breaks, and tried to make an accompaniment when I got home! If I had a second chance To make it all feel right…

I wrote this track pretty long time ago, but then redid parts of it for a live setting so I could play it on my digitakt. I haven't played out live in a bit so I tried practicing it today...

Accidental synthwave. I hated this at first, but it's not bad. I kind of feel like this is me, in the 80s, driving home from work along palm tree lined high way. I had a bad day writing fortran for my job and I'm burnt out.

a little break beat from my digitone. This is turning into "learn the digitone" month.

I wrote this a week or so ago, and decided to give it a proper "mix" I guess? I'm not great at mixing quite yet, so this is just trying to add some ear candy and make it sound as good as I can!

I am a butterfly but not a monarch I’m meat sliced thin and looking stark On the granite, part of a meal unfinished Swept off the counter and Into the garbage I’m sorry, that was dark I’m just a victim of pathetic fallacy I’m partial…

Im phoning this one in Ive flown in tougher winds But im tired and I have to flip Over my whole house to be sit Upon by a gracious friend Who will stay here to sit my pet Who, when house and pet have been sat Will collect a tidy sum at…

Here’s day one of my d2! knew I would have very little time, so I hummed a melody on my way to work, worked out the lyrics on my breaks, and tried to make an accompaniment when I got home! If I had a second chance To make it all feel right…

Who will break this ice sleepwalking through the pines Said I won’t tell you twice 100 million times You can’t pay the price We’ll never get the bill You don’t need to atone And though it’s such a thrill To heave the first stone…

On the other side Of the planet I just heard the news I was served something so tragic Reaching for my muse On the other side of my attention span So abused I said “hope it’s another lie Like me and all my friends are used to” It all…

What did we give away for the things we have? I don’t see any place I haven’t been before But the faces I hold in my mind when I’m drifting off to sleep Are as free as anything could be When all the dollar stores have vanished in the flood…

Guitar improvisation based on the aria "Contessa Perdono" from Mozart's the Marriage of Figaro.

You can roll the dice You can read the gospel Or just balance on the knife Kicking rocks like cigarettes You both used to like Now it’s all just plastic I could use some advice And you could use me Anytime you like Dead man’s paradise…
