that tickles. makes me think of that scene in "The Man Who Knew Too Little" with the Explosive Russian Nesting Thingy -- only Bill Murray is surrounded by a gang of marionette robots doing the Mamushka.
cheers glu for your comment. its taken me a while to get back to you. sorry. Glad you like it.
and this track of yours rocks. i often download your stuff. the Bush stuff is cool man.
Absolutely love this one. Whole new feel to your music is accomplished with the new sounds. Beats are trademark, but melody is great with elephant instead of a synth. The best trumpet nature can provide.

lyrics:
what’s happened to our city
where has she gone
another vertical building
built over more homes
in enclaves of exclusion
where the American dream is an American illusion
in this despotic system
it is hard to resist them
but…
I agree with Einstein that we cannot 'will' anything, the concept is religious at best(gulp). But you can change your paradigm,
I am certain Einstein's paradigm changed with his theory of relativity, no? The song was intended for avid fans of political change re-examine their own role in the democratic process, you cannot vote for change in this system, just as you cannot 'will' change...
but you can change the way you see the world.
Somehow missed this one. I'm wondering these days how much we truly can change our paradigm. Pondering this reminds me of my favorite Einstein quote:
"I don’t believe in the freedom of the will. Schopenhauer’s saying, that a human can very well do what he wants, but can not will what he wants, accompanies me in all of life’s circumstances and reconciles me with the actions of humans, even when they are truly distressing. This knowledge of the non-freedom of the will protects me from losing my good humor and taking much too seriously myself and my fellow humans as acting and judging individuals."

I love this track though!!

Sounds are 100% birds, bats, and squirrels.
Even that upstairs neighbor bangin' kick-
it's actually a bird call that I ran through a filter, pitched down and thrown into the
animal drum kit.
Written, recorded, and mixed in 24 hours. August 01-02, 2009, from 6am to 6am.
Instrumentation: Two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (picked and bowed), fretless bass, about 7 different flutes, two tabla drums, rattles, tambourine, didgeridoo…
Barney! "Ears held hostage" wow! Thanks, my friend. Really digging your more recent stuff.. Cannot wait to hear the finished EP! Good luck, and hope you are enjoying the new gear!
We found a nice bathroom, and, moved by whimsy, decided to write this little shuffle for y'all. Took us about 15 minutes to write and record. It'd lose its spontaneity, otherwise, no?
Style:
Crosby-Stills-Nash-Young-esque Bathroom Folk
Instrumentation…
this is beautiful. What a lovely theme! I know what you mean about composing. When I sit down at a piano something magical comes over me... have to get one.
You know when you're creating something and it comes out exactly how you wanted it, and then it becomes you favorite? This one is still my favorite and has not been dethroned yet.
The song is all by me - words, vocals, bass, the "guitar…
yeah it is confusimicating! I have no clear answer for you! Most folks here respond by commenting back on their own tune just as you did, but it's not protocol by any means. cheers, and thanks for listening!
Brief musical sketch, to be transformed into a teary-eyed country weeper.
Instrumentation:
1 Dobro Resonator Guitar, played on both sides of a slide.
[If you give a page a dobro ...]
I got word this morning that my dog died sometime overnight, following his emergency surgery.
It's never easy to lose a pet, but I find it's especially difficult when they're young and you were expecting to spend many more good years with them…
Well, this is why I don't play drums. It's the best Moon I could pull off. I keep hammering the gtr riff over and over, but it's because it was so much fun to play. Its structure is a little too meandering in hindsight, but oh well. For whatever…

"meeting of the Beatles and Trent Reznor" ---and "this is the trailmix i want to bring with me through the circles of hell" OMG!! These are such flattering comments! Thank you! :-) and thank you for coming along for the ride through bittersweet purgatory; do not forget to buy a postcard!
Okay I need to say a few things. Please read before listening!
I did not do the 24 hour challenge but I did try and hang around in the chatroom as much as possible with Glu, SisterS, and ChrisM while they battled through it.
At about midnight…
A track created for a character called Rainy, on the North walk (entitled "Life Is Monumental") of "Charm City Remix", a site-specific narrative by Kianga Ford.
NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great!
I've been slacking, so here's something new finally.
I left flubbed notes in this one. I hate MIDI editing in Ableton Live.
I often think of ending this affair and going back to my sweetheart, Logic.
agree with kirk.. love how it 'falls into place' --and I'm a sucker for piano. I agree that Live's midi editor leaves much to be desired; I thought v8 would have at least made the grid easier on the eyes. btw, thanks for listening to the 24h .. you should do it sometime; loads of fun and insanity.

@ kirk, look forward to finding out which ones are your faves! Thanks again for listening... I'll try to get these individual tracks up soon, once I attempt recovery ;-)
NOT FINISHED. shining up old songs. this one is headed in this direction. if i put it up on here, i have to finish it.
love,

Break-Bregovic-Beats Baby! I heard this track is all the rage in Kosovo ;)
Yeah Booooyyyyyyyyy!! Gettin' my trunk on!
Nice beat...
that tickles. makes me think of that scene in "The Man Who Knew Too Little" with the Explosive Russian Nesting Thingy -- only Bill Murray is surrounded by a gang of marionette robots doing the Mamushka.
Nothing I love more than horns and unintelligable lyrics. :) Great work.
Holy moly. I love this. Freakin love it. I want more!!!!!!!!! -E
ahaha. how cool is this.

A good one..

diggin the lyrics
Whole new meaning to "When Doves Cry" ;) I take it you got a new toy?
very nice bro!
I'm a sucker for any tune built out of natural sound - and this fits the bill quite nicely!
Sounds are 100% birds, bats, and squirrels. Even that upstairs neighbor bangin' kick- it's actually a bird call that I ran through a filter, pitched down and thrown into the animal drum kit.
Woah, the kick in this one sounds like my upstairs neighbors banging on the floor.
Love those fingersnaps at 2:44 and that explosion at 3:22. This track is really something.
