E'en that...

Who'll supply the shovels used to split the sacred soil?
And who will help the spirit shuffle off this mortal coil?
Who'll embalm the body, who will mummify the husk?
And who will sail the flaming ship into the drowning dusk?

And who will dig the grave digger's grave?
Who will dig the grave diggers grave?
Who will dig the grave diggers grave?
Who will bury them?

Who is going to drive the hearse and consecrate the wine?
Who is going to build the box from the gnarled and knotty pine?
Who will be the artifex to decorate the tomb?
And who will bribe the jackal waiting at the gates of doom?

And who will dig the grave digger's grave?
Who will dig the grave diggers grave?
Who will dig the grave diggers grave?
Who will bury them?

E'en that...

"In youth, when I did love, did love,
Methought it was very sweet,
To contract, O, the time, for, ah, my behove,
O, methought, there was nothing meet."*

But age, with it's stealing steps
Hath clawed me in it's clutches
Age, with its stealing steps.

E'en that...

The Grave Digger

F-Blowout Jam 10

An improvised little "End of March Jam" which I played the other day with my Korg SGProX digital piano and Yamaha Montage, using the Rhodes V8 Pro Electric Piano sound and Scarbee Jay-Bass (Fender Jazz Bass; I so love this bass!). The awesome drum groove is from the Lumbeat Jazz Drummer for iOS ("8th Fields") with some tweaking by me. The drums are Native Instruments Abbey Road 50s Drummer with an early-50s Gretsch Cadillac Green Nitron drumkit (Spring kit) and a snare that I believe is the Leedy Professional 14 x 5 from 1920s.

This song was partly inspired by the awesome composer and pianist Stu Goldberg's song "Dedication", a song which I first came acquainted with through an album from 1995 by a Finnish jazz band Trio Töykeät. 

Comments would be more than welcome! It sure would be nice also if someone some day would like to try to play for example a melody over this track or collaborate with some other way.

End Of March Jam

Atlanta’s “Bog Witch” and Boise’s “Mystic Tape Deck” announce the release of a new collaborative single, “Dogs of Chernobyl” to mark the anniversary of the Chernobyl Disaster.

Following the April 26, 1986 nuclear accident, the City of Pripyat was evacuated. The residents were forced to leave their pets (including domestic dogs) behind.  

Nearly 40 years after the accident, the descendants of these dogs are still living in the Exclusion Zone and a study is currently taking place. 

Scientists are sampling the DNA of the dogs. Apparently, their DNA is irregular in some interesting ways.

Wendy writes “I couldn’t sleep one night and picked-up my phone to surf when I noticed an article about the radioactive dogs of Chernobyl.  Right away it seemed like a song.”  

Wendy invited Mystic Tape Deck to collaborate with her in creating the sonic pallet for this song, the proceeds from all sales of which will be donated to the Clean Futures Fund. 

The Clean Futures Fund relies upon donations to provide medical supplies, vaccines, and food for the dogs living in the Exclusion Zone.  

Donate $1 or more to the Clean Futures Fund via Bandcamp and receive a download of the single: https://mystictapedeck.bandcamp.com/track/dogs-of-chernobyl
