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.

Higher and Higher Verse 1: When the barren dances with joy, Holding her firstborn through tears of joy. When the broken leap in praise, As the good news fills their humble hearts. When the sun rises in the morning, Proclaiming Your…

I saw jack-in-the-pulpit and I knew I belonged And I felt every sermon and I held every song O The trees creaked and shifted as they turned and dropped their leaves And I pulled an empty bottle and I held it to the breeze. Oh this one life…

One Newport left in the pack I know that we ain't coming back Waving goodbye to my friends Beginnings can feel like the end Thrusters go off underneath Vibrations under my feet Can't help but think of that thrill Card in my spokes as…

Went to Bellow Falls today and hiked around a bit. It was beautiful and grounding.

synth version

This is yesterday's track, back to the original melody with cross-picked guitar added (oy! that was tough). I see the template for a proper song now, and over the coming days I'll add to this and I hope to end up with something...

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

EMPTINESS It seems to be very difficult for people to be critical of the culture in which they are enmeshed within. There are all sorts of mechanisms that dominant cultures use to further socialize and entrench us: patriotism /// nationalism…

A new TKP rough draft track... Lyrics and keys to come! / Added second guitar to beginning and worked on lead 7/7

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'm grateful for balance. Yarrow showed up today in a field and I was reminded of the balance I have to continue to strive for.

Worries Never Win Verse 1: Worries have never solved The things that ache my heart. Pacing the midnight floors, Only pulled me apart. Tried to fix it all alone— But I was sinking fast. Then I heard a still, small voice: “Child, this…

Last of the five-day experiment in intervals. Again, my friend Ebow was acting persnickety, as is its wont (I'm sure I have nothing to do with it), and the result includes some abrasive string rattling. I like the melody of the original recording…

V1: Oh, how did we get here Seems familiar but it’s unclear Did no one take the reigns before we lost control I’d rather say something If it’s better than nothing Wouldn’t you think twice if it saves your soul Chorus: Darlin…

saturdays are for techno

I was reminded again yesterday of a responsibility to the language, to the culture, to ourselves.

To me this is one of my best Tracks.....yet.... :-) The Kick comes from a PlugIn called "Kick Ninja"! What a great PlugIn! Also I'm really starting to hate my AI generated garbage profile pic but alas, I have not a single gram of talent in…

Reg has been reading the papers today and it seems like utter chaos out there since the circus came to town ...... and the world will never be the same again..... Nothing will ever be the same again The circus came to town today…

disintegration loop recorded with voice memo

The screams!! The screams!!

The ebow gods were fickle today. Anyway, here's a melody, copied to a new track, then I raised the original track two steps, and lowered the duplicate track two steps to create a fourth interval. I tried also adding reversed tracks but it was…

patience. practice. review. repeat.

another attempt at short form deep techno a la some of my favorites...

Drums, guitar, bass, Microfreak set to say "Meow" through a bunch of pedals.

We're getting political with this one.
