Lint

I’m haunted a little this evening by feelings that have no vocabulary and events that should be explained in dimensions of lint rather than words.

I’ve been examining half-scraps of my childhood. They are pieces of distant life that have no form or meaning. They are things that just happened like lint.

i: The Conception
BIRTH MOTHER:
I went in with good intentions
To start a family
Your dad had to go so far away
He couldn't be with me

And since I believe in right-to-life
I put this into play
Surrogates to lead you to
The fate of the ghost train
Ghost train haze

2:25
ii: The Reception
THE SON:
Right from the conception
The cycle of a karmic stage
Right from the reception
Ridin' on a ghost train haze

They put me in their culture
To mold me to their ways
My reality for the future is
Trippin' on a ghost train haze, yeah

3:00
iii: The Deception
ADOPTED MOTHER:
I didn’t want you to find out
Your namesakes’ fate in life
I wanted you to be like us
I even chose your wife

When you found out the deep dark secret
A psychotic karmic phase
I had no choice but to shut you out
It's the fate of the ghost train
Ghost train haze

4:30
iv. The Redemption
BIRTH MOTHER:
My spirit has been with you
On the shade; in Christmas songs
It was very hard for you
Not feeling you belonged

I led you back to where you're from
To see how we were raised
And we welcome you with open arms
The last stop on the ghost train
Ghost train haze

I'm primarily a guitar player but I'll try to make music with anything you throw at me. When left to my own devices I enjoy recording minimalist ambient pieces and textural soundscapes. My principal sound source for these efforts is manipulated guitar but I often include electronics and organic sources. I enjoy working on collaborations with other musicians. Please contact me if you are interested.
