Back in 2006 I did an entire album of spoken word, or pseudo-rapping, whichever you like to call it... Stylistically it's very much inspired by Beck's album, The Information...
It began as a poem, until two separate friends inquired randomly how the song sounded... I replied, "What song?" and they laughed... So I went back to the studio and this came out... Enjoy!

This is from my 2007 album, 'Elbow Rhumba...' and explains how I feel about politics...
(Chorus lyric: O! Say, does that Star Spangled Banner wave goodbye, when the Altered States of America come down from on high...)
Fulla' Boulevard is about 2 street musicians who reunite after a long time apart... Thinking outside the jukebox isn't so hard, when you get fulla' boulevard...
This is an assault on all GMO producers and their sickly food... (Did you know the FDA co-owns the patent on the terminator gene, with Monsanto...)

This song ties in with a novel I hope to finish before the world ends... The story is about two elite secret society brats that sail a plastic boat out to the great garbage patch, only to discover a new ecosystem of advanced life, made entirely…

A caption competion was held…
100 bpm, db
see my face in the mirror
wondering what i've become
though things, couldn't be clearer
i can't explain the things that i have done
weird and probably crazy
my sanity is an enormous doubt in my life
no ghost no monsters or…
I enjoyed this track... Waltz doesn't come naturally to me!
And more, I was rolling with laughter at the comment you left in the forum, the Top5 thread!!!!!
"i would like a professional anti-suck button so that i can make my tracks not sound so much like they were recorded with a tin-can and a string and played by a monkey set loss in a guitar store."
This is actually the first song we produced, and the one that started the whole project. It's based around a sequence from the good old Korg Wavestation.
Narrative: A lonely scientist was stationed to Tundzha Glacier in Antarctica to study fissures.
Instrumentation: I stretched, repitched, and looped two sections…

YOU'VE GOT GIRLS
i told you once
i told you twice
you'd have to go
if you couldn't play nice
so tell me
have you been good
let's chat
i told you before
i made it clear
you keep on actin that way…
Spun around like a seer's needle
A philosopher so lost in his riddle
Tries to speak but no longer able
Drifting in the deepest dream

This one took me a while [years!] to complete - how did it come out?

On youtube there's a short video clip of guitarist Shawn Lane (R.I.P) executing an extremely difficult chord voicing that requires extensive finger stretching, which Shawn calls "the hardest chord in the world." I altered the chord a little bit…
more stuff for the glubotic March addendum. The bamboo flute in this track belonged to an old Subud brother ... I don't really know how to play any wind instruments... but this flute practically plays itself.
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009

This is fun! My synapses are all fired up...
Fun! The folks on Wall St. would fall on their face if they could understand this tune... Spectacular!!
This is fun and well made!
My first name means, 'Cave dweller'... So I could see living on Cave Street!! This song has ethereal qualities to it...
If Beck would have gone to music college, he'd have made early recordings such as this!! Awesome...

Beautiful voice!! So feline...
This is a great song, conceptually... Shackleton would be proud!
Fun chorus... Great production!!
The title drew me in... It goes from a vibe that sounds like electronic 'Yes' and then takes on a Dylan-esque quality... Fun!
I find this very pleasant... Like an oasis at Burning Man!!
This is nice, all the subtle layers! With the title, it causes me to introspect and rise to a new level of awareness... Thanks!
Oooh!! Fun track... I kept waiting for lyrics, and was then reminded of the awesome title!! Very zen...
Sound like 70's John Lennon... And that is a compliment, my friend!
They said it wasn't possible! Wow, outrageously powerful music...
I love it!!!! More, please...
This is a lovable melody from another dimension!!!
Beautiful guitar work! I can feel the synapses in my head getting all fired up...
I feel the groove!
This just sparkles!!! William Eaton will be eating his art out!!
