Wistman's Wood
A song about spooky stuff, ghosts, will-o-the-wisps, wizards, pixies, etc. And a doomed woman who ventures into Wistman's Wood. All the vocals are computer (AI) generated.
Illuminated Corridor
A bit of dungeon synth.
Forest of Illusion
A ghostly fox materializes ahead on the forest path and "hmm"s at you.
"Hmm? Wait, how are you talking?"
"A fox appears out of nowhere and your first question is how it talks? Humans..."
"Look, it's my first time outside the bounds of reality."
"You have a lot to learn. Follow me."
Boo-gie
A quick spooky-inspired (but not really spooky) low tempo dance track [more inside]
Fisherian Runaway (poison frog song)
First song written and recorded since I moved to Napa. Spooky grungy punk that maybe doesn't reflect my sunny new locale. Written about my drummer's frustration with dating, online and otherwise. Lyrics in fold. [more inside]

I tried really hard to keep my strings section in line, but they're doing whatever they want. [more inside]
Movie Credits instrumental
Kind of an eerie repetitive theme that I think sounds like it could be heard at the end of some kinda spooky, horror, thriller'ish type of movie
i started with one little riff i made and copied and tweaked it over 5 or 6 tracks
Last Girl
Here's to Lon Chaney.
Because Bela Lugosi already has a song, and I thought it was high time for a tribute to the man who would've been Dracula, if not for lung cancer. [more inside]
a few hundred thousand dead cannibals
A quiet, haunting track with drones, chimes, and muted bass beats [more inside]
Hear the Wind Sing
Music inspired by Arcadia's "Lady Ice". Lyrics inspired by Murakami Haruki's "Kaze no Uta wo Kike" (Hear the Wind Sing). Samples include Meredith Monk, John Zorn and an NHK broadcaster backmasked. [more inside]

A song about dying [more inside]
Night Terrors
Written to satisfy both a Songfight challenge and the mefi music challenge. Who says you can't spook two horses with one chestnut? Featuring three buttons on my accordion.
Sally's Songs (Tom Waits Style)
So I went for the triumvirate: it's a spooky song with overwrought instrumentation and Tom Waits style vocals. Hope you enjoy. [more inside]
Aeoun
Plays round-the-clock in Satan's dance club. [more inside]
My Granny's House Was Scary
3/4 of the way through my Tom Waits impression, I realized I could play the riff from Black Sabbath's "Black Sabbath" over the top.
Don't Play Cards With Satan (D.Johnston)
Took a look at this month's challenge themes and thought: Tom Waits does a much better Tom Waits impersonation than I could ever muster, and I'm just not a 'lots of notes' kinda guy. But, "spooky"... there you go! Submitted for your listening pleasure, my version of this Daniel Johnston song. With lines like "I saw my own heart laying, black with blood", I guess you could say it's pretty damn spooky. Here's a very powerful clip of Johnston performing the song on organ. [more inside]

Halloween
I have the whole ranch crew doing the vocs on this. My kids don't think it's scary enough.
unfolding
My take on mid 70s Michael Stearns from Planetary Unfolding, with a dash of Kubrick ala 2001. It's dark, brooding space music. [more inside]
Little Egypt
Once again, a song by my pierced and tattooed puppet Sailor Martin , detailing a burlesque dancer in Cairo. [more inside]

Cover of a kid's song. [more inside]
Vincent Price
No mere mortal can resist \ The evil of the thriller
Elfrita The Landlord
Elfrita used to be my landlord. She would place giant spiders outside my door so they could crawl into my apartment. It was horrifying.
Oh Death
Here's my version of this most haunting of American folk songs. It's very stripped-down: just voice, drone, a bass drum and a shekere. In the time-honored folk tradition, I've made a few minor lyrics changes here and there, and the melody I'm using is different from the Dock Boggs or Stanley Brothers versions of the tune. Anyway, it's one of my very favorite traditional songs. Hope you enjoy.
Back He Flew Away
Inspired by the Gullah singers of the Georgia Sea Islands, with their marvelous a capella style. My friends and I sat in a half circle in my living room and as each singer took a turn leaning in to sing the lead, the others all around filled all the little spaces with harmonies.
Mad House
Spooky beats, sharpened knives, with a madman on that ol' church organ.
Nil By Mouth
A big machine is rolling up behind you in the dark. Creepy ambience.
