a gentle melancholy song. hope you like it, tumblr dears. lyrics:
I knew all the things
I wanted to do
Came prepared to play
And then I met you
You might say
i got lost that day
oh i got lost,
in a wonderful way
i'd seen skies of
a pretty orange-pink hue
that color had no name
no name i knew
until the day we met
and then i knew
that was the color
the color of you
the color of you,
and all hopeful souls
oh, my dear
what a mournful glow
like the tides your kind
they come and go
but always with that same
pretty orange-pink glow.
oh my dear what a mournful soul

I met Skunkpig while hiking through the Superstition mountains. Racing the sun to the trailhead before dusk, I heard what I thought was drums and chanting on the wind. I stopped to listen. I'm pretty sure they were going to eat me, but I had water and a field recorder I told them I was interesting using to record their songs.
Whether Skunkpig is the name of their leader or the entire tribe, it's never clear. They all refer to themselves as Skunkpig, but the leader I suspect to be Skunkpig is the only one who ever uses "I," and the lesser tribesmen orbit the great creature like asteroid rings. How many are there? Enough it seems.
Skunkpig eat whatever they can find, but primarily hunt lost hikers. They often toy with people shooting old refrigerators and couches out in the desert. Quietly removing vital car parts, then watching them from afar as they wonder what to shoot to save themselves as the heat does its grim work. They make jewelry, tools, and knives from the guns. They say they have no use for them. They let the sun bring their prey to a useless weakened stupor and pluck whatever they clutch from their tired hands, stepping back before the prey's last gasp so their dry, red-eyes can see their hunter stand before it "stains the sand." People the tribe find shooting cactus are made to drink the acidic water of the barrel cactus until their organs revolt.
They have no gods, but they hold sacred the Gila monster for its unyielding bite, the roadrunner for its brazen brutality, the cactus for its efficiency and its fruit, and the night. They respect the sun.
This is the first recording I made of Skunkpig, doing the hunt song "Gila Monster Blood" I've promised to record more of them in exchange for safe passage in their lands.

i made a song about "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" by Shirley Jackson
I made the music, and instantly was reminded of Merricat. Something about the song just said murderous girl, after that the words came easy.
Here's the rhyme:
I'm Mary Katherine Blackwood
I'm Eighteen years old
I've often thought with any luck
I would a been a werewolf
No, don't get too noisy
Got Amanita Phalloides
So don't annoy me
Me and my Constance
like it silent
we're no men
we're an island
With a simple set of magics
Sympathetic buried relics
Keep the castle free of hassle
And visitors baffled
There's none left to meet
It's just constance and me
The rest are all dead
Have you not left yet?
sung outro:
i'm just another killer of men
just another thing you can pretend
won't drag ya down in the end

took a break from making boom boom boom boom music to release this electronic indie piece using lyrics I'd written about my wife, life, and growing up over the years but couldn't seem to stitch together until recently. Hope someone out there likes it.

i'm making new stuff, so here's an older one I don't think I shared here. light piano and choir, relaxing and upbeat. Think I was channeling my mom playing enya at night to relax when I made this.
