Interesting songwriting with interesting, quite experimental, arrangement.

Smooth sound www.soundcloud.com/laygrav/storyofmylife

Sometimes you just gotta go and kick rocks

very complex and interesting mix of different styles

The vocal tracks started with The Fool's Jest (#257) and continue on into the present day.  Gradually getting better about process with these.

Love to Die For

I start a new project from scratch. I try to mix my progressive rock influences with electronic sound to create a kind of original mix. It is quite difficult to select a specific genre for me but I hope to create a good feeling to my listener.

Inititation

Temerity

You'll be surprised what you can do when you don't overthink the process. Did this one in 4 hours.you can't do them all that way, but you learn so much, and they tend to be favorites.🤫

I Can't Do This

My first vocals for anyone in 24 1/2 years.  That's right folks, since May of 1999 at Seattle University.
So I will sound a little out of practice and secondly I set myself a hard task with the instrumental track being made first and the vocals later.

brackets are lyrics left on the cutting room floor.

One day the fool came walking by
And the king said 'let's have laughter'
[Then the fool said 'Well I'll make a jest'
'But let's just not kill me after']
(replaced with some da-da-da'ing)

He proceeded then to make his pitch
And the king besat there, all bewitched
But there came a point which had a flaw
And the fool knew he might lose it all

[So he turned to something he felt safe]
[And the king then seemed to forget the gaffe]
But the fool well knew his lucky break
And he quickly then made his escape

Being free to muse on the fickleness of rulers
As the day grew gaunt and grey
He thanked his stars
That unlike his peers
He lived to jest another day

The Fool's Jest

The result of a Wikipedia crawl figuring out something around meme lore.  A Snowclone is a re-usable word phrase.

"In Soviet Russia, X Y's you." etc

Lyrics:

I used to be a snowclone
But I took an arrow to the knee
I'm not a snowclone
But I play one on TV

If Eskimos have a thousand words for snow
Snowclones surely have one word for Eskimos

I Used To Be A Snowclone, But I Took An Arrow To The Knee

The third rather experimental vocal track.  A lot of compressing sections to go faster and match instrumentals.

Lyrics:


And if it isn't too much trouble
I would like to know just what you were angling for
For the time... grows...short
To search for redress, tidy the mess

Riddle me this

As we sit here treading water
Why is it that you keep dodging the issue
Are the terms... too... steep
To broker a deal
What is it you feel

I didn't want, to be cruel
But there comes a time
Begging validation
Plays me for the fool

Why Are You Malfunctioning / Whimsy Number 2 (Lyrical)

The fourth lyrical track, this is Track 67 (LXVII) with the vocal track just fitted on top of it without really changing the instrumentals at all.

Don't interrupt a woman when she's trying to keep you out of trouble.

Lyrics:

They're looking for a man
Who has a plan
Don't be put out by seeming
Shallow comparisons
Their abacus is always on patrol

They seek the best discard the rest
Remember they just try to build a nest
That instinct isn't really just a troll

They don't have time
To sit and wait
For you to find yourself
Until too late
The younger ones
Require being bold

Be More Worried If She Says Yes (Extended Lyrical Version)

Be More Worried If She Says Yes - Lyrical Extended

Slightly autobiographical.  Although I will add for Danika's benefit I do understand that revenge is for children and the emotionally retarded, about ninety-seven percent of music is purging demons about the significant Other.

Lyrics:


All the tireless individuation i was doing
While the normalites were screwing
Means that trouble has been brewing for a while

When we get around to settling
The imbalance that's been nettling
There may be a confrontation off the top of the dial

It takes a fair amount of being a pussy
To build a world based on passing the buck
But when the choice is between
Some of the men that you've seen
Is the cagey guy the one you want to fuck


Though it's indicated to be tough
And we wonder what's enough
I should be gentle all the same

But when the gadflies of the swarm
Were causing genuine harm
It takes a fair amount of being a pussy
To shield them from the blame

It Takes A Fair Amount Of Being A Pussy

Light bouncy tune about those wonderful moments in a new romance where you  are reading each others minds.

Reading My Mind

Into The Abyss (Freestyle)

This was after DanikaXIX's Twitch watchalong of Dreamgirls when I made two vocals really quickly inspired by that experience.  Of the two, Kick Rocks is where I consciously tried to do an Eddie Murphy impression as a laugh, and then She's Got A Great Face For Philosophy (CCCV) is more done in my own voice.  The latter got an Alpha Remaster a number of months later to get rid of the awkward 2 second gap after "modus vivendi"

The closest I've come to an R&B vocal.  I didn't expect that writing the lyrics it just started to make sense.

Lyrics:

Women love strategically

And men love romantically

If you expect to be both ignorant and free

You expect what never was and never will be


Any fool can make a rule And any fool will mind it.

Any tool can mask their cruelty forcing you to find it.

Circle jerks of any size

Tend to scotch the intended prize

Hence the warnings of the wise


Women think intuitively

And men think logically

I saw how the ringmasters tend to their flocks

And that's when I told them that they can kick rocks


If you expect to be both ignorant and free

You expect what never was and never will be

Shit rolls down hill but eventually

It ends up on my boots and then we shall see

Kick Rocks

This started as a group of 5 loops, all increasing in intensity, for a game made for the pirate game jam on itch.io.  

I really loved the hook when I made it and I knew I wanted to use it in something but it sat alone for a few months as just 4 bars and a basic drum track while I worked on other projects.  I felt like doing a boss battle theme and decided to finish it up when the opportunity for the game jam appeared.

Evacuation: Cascade Imminent

Golden Dreams

Praha

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.

Kick Rocks
