This is a re-do of the piano groove track from July 8. I've added a breakdown and a B part and for the most part, I'm pleased.

They built a boat  Carried you down to the riverside  Set it alight  Talked of regret, children played nearby  They played nearby                The image of you I can’t shake Hand raised, parting ways in the rearview  Smoke from the…

wow, 10 days!! I legit can't believe it...

(written for BC) This full moon. Loving respect, kindness, and a great spiritual power came up in one of my readings this morning. I'm grateful for that being present.

channeling my inner Daniel Lanois here

I wrote and recorded this song a few months back (on Inauguration / MLK Day). A month or so ago, I re-recorded it to change the key but was not satisfied with the guitar sound, so I re-re-recorded the guitar today (still not satisfied...) and…

just trying to get reacquainted with ableton

I made this in Ableton from piano bits I'd created a while ago.

Sleepy loops.

On my way home By that lonesome graveyard A ghost jumps up and says Come here won't you be my man Wasn't a ghost at all Someone asking for a ride Wasn't a ghost at all Someone asking for a home Said boy come here And take me to your…

Well hot damn

Learn to Stall 1 So your water is cold You’re probably hiding something  So if I ask you to stay - just go You’re the gift that keeps on taking   2 Why are you asking me? What do I know? Everyone was young once But nobody knows it…

Subtle change of gray light Heart breaks in sync with the sky As it cries over open fields and tall stands of pines, their delight No weight to the world they rejoice Heavy lids, can't sleep Head like a hornet nest, a buzz with bees…

it's fuzz and it's delay but it's more folk + 90s alt rock

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…

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...

Not wanting to leave a tranquil place as a metaphor for not wanting to go back to anguish. My lyrics, ai demo.

A day in the life of a common cat

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…

saturdays are for techno

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