The theme song to a well known animated series, featuring a brief impression of the titular character at the end.

KOTH theme

Played entirely using equipment found in a neuroscience laboratory, and featuring an Axopath 1-D amplifier, played like a theremin by waving my hand near the open wire and also getting discrete notes by touching my fingers of the other hand (since my body acted as an antenna as well) to a video monitor. Percussion elements include a metal pan, a shaker of dessicant pebbles, and several beakers filled with varying levels of water.

Name is also an homage to Harry Partch (1901–1974), an American composer, music theorist, and creator of musical instruments.

Axopartch

Acoustic guitar, vocals. Falsetto vocal and sweeping vocal melodies over more quickly changing jazzy/folky acoustic guitar chords. And some mistakes.

Old World

Experimental frag. Melody vocals are distorted only by singing into a coffee mug and a little reverb. Other sounds are processed vocal gibbering.

Lyrics:

Some people
  just never gonna learn.
Some people
  just never gonna try:
 Us.

Some People

A frag of acoustic guitar, influenced a little by eastern European styles.

Dewgrass

Electric guitar and drum machine. Experimenting with a kind of unusual rhythmic pattern on the drum machine. Features short guitar solo.

Frag 3

Jazzy acoustic guitar chords and brief solo.

Frag 2

Acoustic guitar with open tuning, cheesy drum machine.

Frag 1

Really simple chords, open tuning guitar using buzzing capo, Elvis-inspired vocal stylings. 

Lyrics:
All your symbols say,
All ya simple say,
I oughta live my life a way.
I oughta live my life a way.

Help me with my nights,
Help me through the day,
Tell me what is right,
With all your symbols say.

All your symbols say.
All yah simple say.
I gotta know how I was made,
I gotta know how I was made.

Tell me of the Might,
Show me to the Way,
Turn me to the Light,
With all your symbols say.

All your symbol say--
Oyasimbasay!
I gotta live my life away.
I gotta live my life away.

Oyasimbasay
