My last day in Sacramento consisted of a lot of driving around town visiting people. I’ve had a strange nervousness in my core, I think from lack of movement since Friday. Regardless, I had a really great day seeing everybody. It was exactly the kind of day I needed. Breakfast at Carrows with Dad, pedicures… Continue reading My day in pictures

Mixed in Mono
Before the Tomb and the Womb and Covering Lisa, there was Mixed in Mono. Mixed in Mono is a primitive recording I made by layering multiple vocals into a single track with Goldwave circa 1996, using the Windows sound recorder. It was discovering the music of Dead Can Dance during a time in which everything… Continue reading Mixed in Mono
Learning the Liquid Spear Waltz
By ear, about 45 minutes in or so, started learning it today on a whim. I think this will be a really fun song to improvise to vocally once I can play it without squinting and trying so hard. Lord knows I have it memorized deep into the pits of my cavernous bitchy little soul.… Continue reading Learning the Liquid Spear Waltz
Too close to see
Thanks to reviews and interviews from my mp3.com days, and the feedback you’ve given me over the years, I have a pretty good idea how to describe my original music to people who haven’t heard it. Most of the content of Embodied, though, not so much. How to describe my covers is a task that… Continue reading Too close to see
Breaking Bad: R.I.P. XP-30, 2001-2013
Yesterday, while troubleshooting glitching technology, again, rather than practicing music, again, I came to a place of silence. I stopped hitting buttons and searching google, and sat, and thought. I had already emailed the event coordinators for Tomb and the Womb and said that due to technical difficulties I would not be singing “Covering Lisa”… Continue reading Breaking Bad: R.I.P.

Stampede
I’ve been thinking lately about my decision to, though currently saving for a house, and recently leaving one of my part time jobs, simultaneously agree to increase my office rent by about 75% for the next year in order to add a second room for an art studio. In some ways, and surely on the… Continue reading Stampede
Entrepreneurial
I’m batting around an idea that would address a few of my short term goals in one plan. The fledgling concept is: a paid subscription, to be added to an exclusive G+ circle, that I would broadcast my music rehearsal/experimentation to, via Google Hangouts. Or something to that effect. I’d like to be on for… Continue reading Entrepreneurial
Gatekeeper covering Lisa
Holy shit. It’s Liddell. I don’t know if anyone else can hear it but me. She started taking over at 1:30, and letting go around 3:45. Though it was seamless and natural while I did it, I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard to something I’ve recorded before in my life as I realized… Continue reading Gatekeeper covering Lisa
Covering Lisa – Underwater
Really enjoying working with the skeleton of this song, The Host of Seraphim by Dead Can Dance. There are actual lyrics in the original. I’m currently experimenting with singing through more effects. I enjoy singing like this differently than I enjoy singing cleaner. It’s more natural and satisfying, where as clean singing is often more… Continue reading Covering Lisa – Underwater
