The first track for RPM2017. Get used to buried vocals this year, they are pretty bad and the mixes will reflect that. The guitars are all Les Paul through the direct out of a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The leads also used an EHX Soul Food overdrive…

A bit of light relief from the normally morose and twisted UDON NOODLES

I do not play the violin and other instruments. I don't need it - I build the walls, and I do it better than anyone. I'll build a walls around and don't need to think anymore. I don't see lights, and the colors I don't need. I am now a big…

The inner joy that comes from the fact that Sunday morning comes. Ahead are lights, and new challenges, and happiness of knowing the world. I see the glittering event horizon, I'm on the way to. Für Leon 02.2017 Bad Münder am Deister

I had high hopes for this one when I first started working on it. Did it live up to the expectations? No way. Not even close. AlI I can hear when I listen to it is everything wrong with it. Why the hell did this one end up 5+ minutes long…

170226 Somerset With You ( Go Easy On Your Self ) By Mr E Tiggy Acworth (vocals) Ken Burns A truly joint effort :-) Circa 1994 To 5

Greg Connor, Scott Zosel and I wrote this one today around my coffee table. It's been awhile since we've had a chance to do that, and it felt like "going home" a bit to us... We wrote this in support of all those who are trying to find the…

Hanging on my closet, I have a sticker for Narraganset beer and a mock-road-sign reading "Dystopia" with an arrow pointing both directions. The juxtaposition was unintentional, but I decided I liked it.

Fun with melodica loops. Title taken from a machine-translated Japanese Pizza Hut website.

This is the full version of the "crowd chatter" sound collage I used as the intro to "Shut Up, Thanks" - the track consists of several sped up tracks of a text to speech program reciting nonsense layered over each other.

A couple of the loops from "Haugh Vis Roumgh" slowed down to 70 bpm (which the lowest bpm Sony ACID will allow).

For the vocals, I sang improvised nonsense syllables, then played them backwards.

Another one of my fake bit pieces, composed entirely with pitch-shifted square waves.

The subtitle is because years earlier I did a totally different piece called "Ann (OMG)".

There is no Murdercat I, I just like titling songs as though they were horror b-movies. "Feline Doom" was an autocorrect for "Celine Dion" though.

Dan Deacon has a piece called "Drinking Out Of Cups" where he put a TV on mute and reacted to everything he saw as though he were a tough guy from New Jersey. I thought I'd do something similar, then use it as a sample source.

This is actually another melodica-based track, you just can't tell due to excessive pitch-shifting.

The inspiration for the lyrics to this mess was a tweet from someone named Adrian Bott that stated, "'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party." This one isn't so bad…

Necromancers are often misunderstood. They're not bad people - perhaps they just didn't get enough cards from classmates on Valentine's Day when growing up.

It just takes one light in the dark ..
