Taciturn

A piece of a thing that is good but could be better and certainly isn't done!

Les Fées sont revenues pour le printemps

This song has been around for a while but has been pretty exclusively a solo-guitar piece for most of it. This is a first attempt at an arrangement of it. I think it still wants more instrumentation - maybe each piece could be a bit more sparse - but I'm pretty happy with the parts as they are. 

Written, performed, and recorded by Mike Clauss, September 2013

Iokwe

A cover of my favorite song by Carissa's Wierd, off their amazing 2001 album You Should Be at Home Here, which is available on Bandcamp:

This album meant a lot to me as a teen, and I still love it to death. I hope I've done all right by this song. I was pretty ambitious and maybe succeeded at what I was trying for.

I played keys, bass, guitars, and drums. I and Daphne Lee Martin (https://soundcloud.com/daphne-lee-martin) sang.

Blessed Arms That Hold You Tight, Freezing Cold and Alone

Something melancholic and pretty. A couple of bloops on this version. This one probably needs words.

Bass Reel

A power metal tune that will eventually have lyrics about the Bone comics!

Valley Of Rose

Unambiguous Paths

Talk Forever

An arrangement of an English country dance tune called Autumn in Amherst, and a jig variation I made of it. Seasonal and local!

Two Autumns in Amherst

Some needed positive feels that I've been working on.

We'll Get Through/See?

Progressive music with progressive politics.
I play and write prog and post rock, metal, jazz, and occasionally other things. Mostly song sketches and rough recordings on here, plus some old proper recordings. Eventually some more polished things here. Nazi metalheads fuck off.
