this is the dead (9-track comp)

made the week of 10/23/2016.

this is the dead. the planet. the snowing. 333, Rensselaer. hands off on tuesday. betsy spoke to the stradolin ($45.99 on Used special back in 2007 at daddy’s junky). unearthing ancient wisdom. the ghost orchards will bring the roof down at any elks club lodge for sure. (can you hear the scotty dog!?) it’s a damn race to the dirt, but that’s alright, right? i’ll spend more time at darlenes pond, with the darlene herself. the burger of my eye. compost.

9:31 (3-track comp)

9:31

searching for the pocket.

recorded live on my smartphone. crude editing on the computer (cut+paste, layerlayer, tweak vol)

blackbirds trigram (3-track comp)

all songs created during the indian summer. post-squash harvest. de-tuning, sitting 20 minutes-sustaining focus. post-hunters moon, folks talking about apple orchard drought. hickory burns clean and fills the house with a comforting odor. i wish i was a plant. feng shui. feng shui. feng shui. i sent an email to avey tare, his agent was apologetic; called my email "unsolicited." i ain't trying to sell nothing. what ever happened to fan mail?

1) indian summer

2) grow light

3) squash harvest

blackbirds songs for the Body (3 track comp)

here's a 3 track comp for you and your body. a trifecta. deep moods. recorded live. distorted tapes. i can't read arabic!. looping floot loops. guitar soliloquy's tend to lock in to the wild environment. and a wash cycle to boot. it woke me from a wooden slumber post mtn hike. that voice you hear is Zinn. he's got your back. all vibrations are created equal! these will chew you up, but spit you out whole again. 

thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking. 
1) dog collar strew
2) karma charma (i is i, u is u)
3) raga trap (wash cycle)

for maximum effect listen after sundown.

matches (13:09)

recorded live on my smartphone. 

i ran my boombox through the delay/loop station, this allowed me to layer samples from cd's/tapes/radio (this starts around 5:30). as always, minor tweaks were made on a computer program where i cut indulgences and maximized the accidental gems.
