The People's Fanfare for the New Kakistocracy (excerpt)
I am so sad, angry and confused by the recent US election result that I created this: a fitting fanfare from the people of the rest of the world. It is puerile and disgusting. [more inside]

Above is a lyric video we put together last week. This is a song from an album I recorded this summer that was supposed to be a solo project but then turned into a band.

Play Guns
Continuing my ambition of actually finishing and posting projects, here's a little love letter to the early 90s. Still has spooky themes! The drums are fine. Could have spent another year doing them properly. Lyrics in the fold. [more inside]

woken
Still messing around with the updated rig but trying to get more involved with melodies and overall arrangement. The DX7 and the Korg Monologue are both deadly for leads/melodies and FL Studio's famous Sytrus VST came in handy to provide a last-minute pad before exporting the final mix.

Skisk Skisk Skisk
I wanted to participate in the 666th Disquiet Junto, so took by first idea and first takes to get this song done. It's built around "six" in reverse sounding like "skisk".

Caterpillar
This song, Caterpillar, is the first single from "Apocalypse Pickin' Party" by The Great Disappointment. I think the central theme/metaphor is pretty obvious.
We have also released a lyric video here.
CONTENT WARNING: there is no graphic violence shown but it sure is implied.

looptober: closing up right at 5
Every year I try to do the looptober challenge, creating a short music loop every day in October. Day 1's track was made in jummbox, an eccentric online music tool. I probably won't try to post on mefi music very day because of the strict 24 hour waiting period, but I will post everything on mastodon and maybe also instagram (both linked from my profile).

Been trying to post more, because I have a lot of unfinished tracks and bringing semi-finished stuff to mefimu has always served me well. Please criticize. One more dirge in Em while I'm working on something more chipper. Would welcome notes on the (lyrics in description) [more inside]

Three Halves (Inside Problems)
A short, conflicted song somewhat in the style of my (much older) Headphones. This one's about having too much of things. [more inside]

Octopus in Boots
This is a song I just completed. It's about being converted into an octopus and moving into the ocean.
I played all the things on this: drums, guitars, keys, vocals, bass.
Hope you dig it.

About 10 years in the writing, here's a lazy folky summer thing for you. Might add some sfx/synth. Notes always welcome. Lyrics inside. [more inside]
