first track on album 'spilt milk', but copyright shmoppyrights. right? rights.

and someone asked for the lyrics:  

drag your feet, keep your life strapped to your shoulders.

if you don't carve your age into your belt, you wont get any older

it's a mixed up masquerade, a penniless arcade

every face a frown, oh what a crazy town

hang your head, they'll steal the toes right off of your feet

you're lucky to count all ten, when you're living on the street

its a story thats been told, a body thats been sold

'round and around and around. oh what a crazy town

(see) joy around here comes in a little pink balloon

and if you got out of here yesterday it wouldn't be too soon

it's a cardboard palisade, a pocket change brigade

every way is down. oh what a crazy town

A song about independence and codependence.

My friend Bonnie and I made this song together. She wrote the lyrics, and I sang and produced and composed the music. I hope you enjoy :)

two circles for heads and dots for eyes

just sticks and lines and a pencil writes

two bodies lie under the ticking of time

waiting for the day when their worlds collide

does my body mimic the things your eyes

explain with a silence like in a mime

of words, these shallow words that i think

of everything you've ever gotten by doing things

will you let me fall when i'm not brave

enough to repeat the things you say

or will you save me despite waiting every day

i keep you waiting

when the sun sinks down and you go to bed

am i still the thought running in your head

or are you done and you've given up, your heart is spent

because i just can't say it

do i try to help you, just a boy in his wake

or do i just sit because i know how you think

and my offers are just pebbles thrown into your pond

and eventually you'll leave me for so and so long

will you let me fall when i'm not brave

enough to repeat the things you say

or will you save me despite waiting every day

i keep you waiting

when the sun sinks down and you go to bed

am i still the thought running in your head

or are you done and you've given up, your heart is spent

because i just can't say it

i don't know if i can say it

how do i explain in words that are lucid

when adolescent minds are just filthy and putrid

and the things i do don't convey

well in enough the things you need me to say

will you let me fall when i'm not brave

enough to repeat the things you say

or will you save me despite waiting every day

i keep you waiting

when the sun sinks down and you go to bed

am i still the thought running in your head

or are you done and you've given up, your heart is spent

because i just can't say it

i don't know if i want to say it

Very mellow and chilled sounding song with some surprisingly hard hitting beats.

The extended/enhanced version can be found here http://hitrecord.org/records/271743

This is the first piece I'm posting to hitRECord. Figured I might as well start with my newest. More to come!!

Since this is one of my favourite music tracks on this website, I thought I'd recreate it using many other instruments other than the piano. Do check out the original version By Megan Carnes http://v4.hitrecord.org/records/156937

I don't really have much to say about this one... just listen.

I was challenged to write music to your picture. http://hitrecord.org/records/293036 The darkness and colours made me think hard rock, so I went with that sound. The vocal should be kinda Amy Lee-ish, and I'll try to sing it as best as I can. (Nowhere near as good as Amy Lee, though) ;) I'm not totally finished with it but here's the lyrics and the main structure. I hope you like it. Scattered Rainbow ******************************* Staring into the darkness Only she could see the light Only she could witness the night Any colour, Any colour Staring at the colours She could see beyond black and white She could feel the fantastic flight Of the rainbow. Deep down inside she knew Let the spirit grow... Let the spirit grow... On and on and on, she grew Let your good heart know. Let your good heart know. Loving the scattered rainbow...

LETTING GO OF ALL FEAR I OPEN MY HEART AND REMEMBER MY LOVE FOR YOU....

Originally recorded on 10/9/09. No lyrics/melody. Recently remixed it with my updated Ableton.

Acoustic guitar (recorded live with pickup that attaches to soundhole, through a PolyPhone amplifier.), programmed drums, tamborine & synths.
Recorded at HotDang! Studios, Laguna Hills, CA. via Ableton Live Lite (v.6) - remixed via v.8

All instrumentation, programming and arrangement by me.

Please listen LOUDish and preferably with headphones. first pass @ this. i haven't done much with it except lay the separate audio tracks down and move them around a bit. i messed with the audio levels and balance slightly, but not with too much thought. i left the background music that pam had included in on her audio & you can hear the piano creep in at several moments. i actually like the effect in most instances (especially when the harmonica makes a guest appearance), but i think i need a little more depth in the various sounds so that it blends a bit more? i'm also thinking the ending could use something. maybe i just add in a ton of whisper tracks and fade out gradually? let me know if anyone has ideas or suggestions. i should mention that i am not a "music mixer" or composer (to be honest, i think i just about crashed my freeware audacity will all these tracks) but i am experimenting avant garde style and i am inspired to teach myself new ways of creating. i like the idea that you can't always hear the words clearly, but that your brain is picking them up regardless. <3

I've had this one for a while, just forgot to post it I guess. Oops.

don't grow up alone, she said

you're likely to lose

the ambient light waves

permeating our souls

i wish i could hold onto your heart

and mend the wounds i tend to create

we'll bend the ultraviolet

to suit our needs

i move you past the x-ray

to where the darkness feeds

i wish i could hold onto your heart

and mend the wounds i tend to create

At Any Moment We Can Let Go And Become New

My first bit of instrument music made with the Shadow Beings in mind. I imagined midlights and noondays welcoming the day, with possibly an adventure? Hmm... I'm still thinking of themes and motifs, but this is a good foot to start on.

I end the piece with a shift... as the sun sets, and we make into the "Gloam" section, perhaps?

I was humming this in the shower, and I decided to record it. Here are the results. Let me know what you think.

i sat down at the piano on a gloomy day and this came out. i'd be honored if you'd listen to it :)

try listening all the way through if you have the time :)

Just added a little more, I think it's more structured now. Once I get paid I'll buy a mic so I can start recording again. Until then all I have is these videos :(

Brought to you with even MORE mistakes :D

Those new parts don't flow yet but I wrote them about five minutes ago so I couldn't even remember what I was supposed to play next

Water floats around my head

Water floats around my head

Clouds move in and hide the sun

I close my eyes and take a breath

A lark is singing overhead

You say "Yes, we're sinking now,

But can you hear that wondrous sound?"

Ooh

We're sinking now

We're sinking down

We're sinking now

We're sinking down

I close my eyes for one last breath

A lark is singing overhead

You say "Yes, we're sinking now,

But can you hear that wondrous sound?"

toyed around with PASIV's beautiful tune. watch the video here: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/388721

everything flows sweetly when you slow down

unwind all your tapes and dance to ghost sounds

i'm in another world, and you're breaking up

but i'll call you soon.. if i make it back
