Nerds by The Great Disappointment

This song came from a thought that had been kicking around my head for several years, but then turned into a song all at once when I stumbled across the bassline. "When I was a kid I thought the nerds would take over and things would get better. That was half right."

Angel of Love, by The Great Disappointment

Here is a new lyric video I just posted. This song, Angel of Love, is a satirical love song to the military industrial complex and a sardonic celebration of drone murder. And there's some sweet trumpet and Fender Rhodes.

Untitled Chiptune Suite

This is a short (just over 2 minutes) chiptune piece with three distinct moods and melodies arranged into four segments played on a Sega Master System. It's got a nice bop when required, and the melancholy section was a little bit inspired by the theme to Metroid II. [more inside]

He’s Got A Bad Ass Truck

A little driving music for the Trump II era.


November 8

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]


Algorithm by The Great Disappointment

https://youtu.be/iTw4VJBx5BU 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.


November 7

12 Minute Travelogues - Jaunt 12 - Miles To Go

The last piece from 12 Minute Travelogues, an ambient music collection of twelve twelve-minute pieces about travel, being elsewhere, and daydreaming. [more inside]


November 3

Way Station

My "new" band The Coffee Sergeants. The first single off our new album, Racing Shadows. [more inside]


02 - red sunset in detroit - vampire deer

the melonhead goes to the big town - more ambient, chaotic stuff for the other half of the album


October 31

01 - melonhead - vampire deer

this is a long, chaotic, dissonant track that just goes and goes into space [more inside]


October 29

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]


October 26

Interference

Little loop with some programmed drums, playing with waveshape [more inside]


October 22

Beach II

DX7 with effects. Supported by the JX-8P with Juno Chorus I turned ON


October 20

Dyscalyptus

A short, somewhat creepy guitar-arpeggio-centric near-instrumental. [more inside]


October 17

Saint Voorhees

Quick and dirty lofi folk song. I think it has enough spooky themes to work for October. Lyrics in the fold. Kinda like the lyrics. [more inside]


October 15

rhubarb groove mix

rhubarb filtered and delayed


October 14

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.


October 9

Maddie Tait

Continued first forays with the DX7


October 6

Dee Ex

Finally acquired a DX7 :D


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".


October 5

Beachhead

Transposed melodies [more inside]


October 4

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.


October 3

looptober day 3: Bergamot

Mefite aubilenon requested a loop for Bergamot, a cat of strong emotions.


October 2

looptober day 2: hrose

I asked for assignments or suggestions and for this one I chose the assignment "hrose".


October 1

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).


September 26

some hero of the beach

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]

Mile Swim

Generating melody and rhythm out of a linear pattern. [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]


July 4

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.


July 3

City of Bummers

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]

Modular composition with a generative sequence, some tuned noise, and filter feedback. [more inside]

Hidden Window (high version)

Redid an old tune and then sped up the master file for a hyper-pop style result
