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]

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.

Cold Frosty Morning

It's an old American fiddle tune. I'm obsessed with A minor.

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).
