Another memento mori. This tune is about a young person who nostalgically imagines the lives of people buried in his local graveyard before he goes to sleep. Jordan Rose percussion, Lucy Marie Horton voice.

Philosopher Martin Heidegger was asked by a student how to live more authentically. His reply: visit more graveyards. Momento mori, ritual contemplation of death, was widely practiced in the Middle Ages. It’s a phrase that takes ‘carpe diem’ to another level– momento mori translates to ‘remember that you must die’.
Lucy Horton voice, Jordan Rose drums.

I had Jordan Rose over for tea. I always though he was a comrade, a Doxa sympathizer. Much to my bemusement, however, he took up a wooden spoon and began banging my pots and pans, clanging my cups and cans!

Jordan Rose and I played in Jim Thorpe, PA with Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band this weekend. I recorded various noodlings of our sound check and put them together to make this beat. I've made a few of these sound check beats before: 'Crash', and 'Nashville, TN' are two others.

Here’s the second piece Magdalyn Segale and I made one muggy evening in my apartment. We cleared out this room to give her and her limbs ample swaying room.

Magdalyn, you ARE water. Let's make something like this again soon, deal?

When EM played up at the Lair of the Golden Bear we sampled the audience clapping together with the promise that we’d use the sample to make a new track. Here it is. Jordan Rose (who else?) is playing drums.

2nd piece of the monochromatic suite. I've come across a trove of orchestral samples, and reckon I will be messing with them for some time.

1st piece of the monochromatic suite. I’d like to dedicate it to the memory of Alicia Lemke.

Sometime I think that the only songs worth singing are love songs.

Another from the mountains for you. Me and Lucy trying some things out.

I came across a pile of firewood in the woods. If you hit kindling against a stump it makes a pitch.

Just finished a book called 'American Psycho' which was written by Bret Easton Ellis. Patrick Bateman, the grisly anti-hero of the story, is filled with a 'nameless dread' at the sight of what he deems the pointless white noise of most human activity. Don't read the book, but read it.
