This track is a fusion of sounds from the past and present; recordings from an ancient rock gong, tribal voices and whistling married together with an electronic, melodic undertone and brought together by field recordings of the African wilderness.

This first track from The Rock Gong Project made using ancient Rock Gongs found in central Tanzania with vocals and whistles recorded from the hunter gatherer Hadzabe tribe where we discovered the Rock Gongs.

Greed

co-write, Noah Luke

lyrics:
I came home just to be by myself
Don't need nobody else
I fan my flame, take a look at my spells
Don't want for nothin' else

Give me the river, the woods & magic
I need the river, the woods.. the magic 

I dry my herbs over my front door
Sip on potion to keep up with my aura
Burn some sage to keep away the pains I face
& I pray for the rain to wash me away to another day

With the river, the woods... the magic
I need the river, the woods... the magic

Out on the river, where it floats my boat
Where the flow of the current moves to soothe my soul
'til it's back to the woods
Back to the "shoulds'
Back to the natural order of good

The magic is with me
The magic is in me
The magic's the means that will always keep me

Wild
Keeps me wild
She keeps me wild

wild (demo)

Even if that strength looks so tender and soft at times, or angry and hard-headed, some part of you is wishing to be well and can remember the way.

These Days

Cry, baby, cry.
Cry because you love.
The song is still alive in your lungs.

Grieve, baby, grieve.
Grieve because you see.
Grieve because you feel
What is real.

There is no running away now.
Can you look her in the eyes
And Cry

Cry, baby, cry.
Cry because it hurts.
Cry for what it’s worth.
What is this worth?

There is no turning away now.
(Nowhere to left to run)
Can you look her in the eyes and try?

Try, baby, try.
Try because you can.
And you may not get the chance again.

Cry baby cry
Cry because you love
And the song is still alive in your lungs
In your lungs
In your lungs

Real J. Wallace - Redlines prod by Ca $later

cyote lou is the musical moniker of Carter Lou McElroy :: a mixed-media artist & songwriter based in the Hudson River Valley of  New York, Mohican Territory. 

In February of 2020, she debuted her first single & video for  “ red ”  via BUST Magazine and more recently co-curated Greene County, New York’s first all LGBTQIA+ multidisciplinary art exhibition for Pride at the Athens Cultural Center in Athens, NY. 

Since her last release, McElroy has produced short and long form videos for other artists (including Lea Thomas’ 2021 release Hummingbird) in addition to moonlighting as the house band at Sarah Gray Miller’s newly opened upstate New York speakeasy, Ravish Liquors (“antiques in the front, party in the back!”).

Inspired by art that provokes optimism and the many avenues of storytelling that strengthen the concept of Community.. her most recent artwork exists in the digital space via animation, video shorts & layered photography.
