Here's a new tune.

I like this one. It means something to me as I have a bit of Ohio farming history in my blood.

I'm also trying my hand at some different production techniques.

Enjoy

Buying the Farm

OK so this isn't even a full song.

and I really didn't intend for it to conjure images of Vampires.

BUT - so be it.

My new project is called Concentraitor.

this is a WIP called

Lets Eat

SO after listening to the a new pandora list - Tom Waits and Nick Cave (which the result is ALL the music in my head - it's really unbelievable! from The white stripes, joy division, and johnny cash to muddy waters, leonard cohen, and iggy pop.) AND a kraftwerk inspired list - unlocking Orbital, Aphex Twin, and a host of other synthetics

I've been tossing my music collection looking for low res audio. and in the age of the MP3 it's EVERYWHERE!!!

simply stated I'm tried of the shitty high frequency anomalies and degradation of MP3 and other forms of lossy audio coding.

So I'm reconverting my CDs to FLAC and ALAC - i'm not bothering with wave files (only for my own music projects) If this...

you all might like this. I don't know - so it's worth a shot.

I was fooling around all stream of conscious musically and I got this strange loop going. So I started to sing a poem over it.

this is the result

Freedom of the Moon

the poem is by robert frost

new song called

What Do I Know?

about immigration and our self imposed unconsciousness.

tried some new ideas too in the production.

Good thing I only rock coffee and alcohol, sweet sweet alcohol.
