March of The Piggies*

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment....
~ Ham, Act 3, Scene 1



Soliloquy*

'Purple Haze' by Vincent la Volée (with cowbell)*

[ from the Little Book of Fruity Études ]
— generously inspired by special friends, luminaries, and former colleagues. Really. This was such a no-brainer I'm just sorry it doesn't have closed-captioning. 

Raspberry Étude N° 1 *

arrangement based on 'Early One Morning' 
—from a group of early 1970s compositions conceived on a porch swing.

Recorded on fairly unremarkable 2-track analog magnetic tape.

variations on an old english tune (instrumental)

arrangement based on 'The Rocking Song'
—from a group of early 1970s compositions conceived on a porch swing.

Recorded on fairly unremarkable 2-track analog magnetic tape.

variations on a czech xmas song (instrumental)

—from a group of early 1970s compositions conceived on a porch swing.
Recorded on fairly unremarkable low-def 2-track analog magnetic tape.

rubicon (original instrumental)

—another from an early-'70s porch swing series. 
Clearly someone else's tune - just can't remember whose. Ergo, named for my old picker-friend. 

Recorded on fairly unremarkable 2-track analog magnetic tape.

Cassaboom's Blues (instrumental)

—a snippet of something that arose from the death of a very intimate female friend / second version

Recorded on fairly unremarkable 2-track analog magnetic tape.

I Can't See You (original instrumental)

[ Graphic: stock photo tweaked into irrelevance ]

' beached whale ' (original composition)

—recorded on unremarkable low-def 2-track analog magnetic tape ... generally in the wee hours of the morning.

gregorian loogie (instrumental sketch)

A disquieting mix of very analog, unrefined instrumental pieces and sketches vis-à-vis some highly-manipulated sound byte origami. 
The latter demarcated with an asterisk (*)

I'm an artist-musician guy. 
A couple of the graphics were ripped off under creative-commons (noted) - but most are 100% original.
