Composed on my Tenori-on. Creepy crawling, flying, buzzing, BUGS!

Swarming Bugs

Space Flute Dub

another DK song slowed down to 75% of normal speed and pitch accordingly reduced by 5 semitones (to duplicate the fortunate mistake of playing an EP at LP speed)

Lyrics:
You're just a resource
You're just a resource

Feeling underutilized,
Climbing up the walls 
Don't know what I'm here for
Don't know why at all!

Verse#1:
Well I quit one job because I had nothing to do
I almost quit another because my brain had turned to goo
Now my mind's a missile, there's an A-bomb on my screen
I feel a meltdown coming on, excuse me while I scream AHHHHHHH

Chorus:
When it rains it always pours
When it rains it really pours
Don't mean to beat this here dead horse
But when it rains it fucking pours!

Verse#2:
Sit back and relax, be a company man
We know what's best, so just stick with the plan
You don't seem to realize just how good things are
Don't cop an attitude, now get back in your jar!

(chorus)

Verse#3:
Better count your chickens, before they hatch
The grass is always greener, and the sidewalks to match
That good old corporate welfare ain't as bad as it seems
We'll stick you somewhere, make you a part of a team

I'm bored, give me something to do
I'm bored, please give me something to do

DEVOish outro:
Bribing you to live their lie
Giving you your piece of pie
Where's the happy medium
Where's the happy medium
Thought control is like a drug
Under covers like a bug
Where's the happy medium
Where's the happy medium

You're just a resource
You're just a resource

(repeat DEVOish outro)

You're just a resource
You're just a resource, for us to allocate, utilize, dehumanize!

You're Just A Resource

funeral march

toccata and fugue in d minor

References to "poo poo" and diapers, better watch out!  This song was created entirely from drum loops I found on the Internet, plus some coached and non-coached audio samples from my family (two boys, one wife). Have you ever heard a climax and subsequent transition in a song based around a toddler crying?  Well, now you have.
 
Lyrics: They say "ga ga", and they go "goo goo" Scary monsters sneaking up on you They say "wah wah" and they go poo-poo Scary monsters sneaking up on you No no no... I wish for awhile I could lose my shadow like Peter Pan Daddy has poo poo, he poo-poo'ed in his diaper, he never do that again! Stop Daddy, you are not so good! (crying toddler) Daddy what are you doing? (evil laugh)

Goofiness in the Universe City

I produced this using Propellerhead Reason

Universe City

My first experience with the DKs is I bought their EP "In God We Trust, Inc." and not realizing it wasn't a LP (it looked about the same size) I played it at 33 1/3 RPM instead of 45 RPM (reducing the speed to 75% of normal, and consequently reducing the pitch by 5 semitones) and thought that was how their music was supposed to sound. Here's an example. Sounds good to me!

In God We Trust, Inc.

We've Got a Bigger Problem Now

Composed on my Tenori-on using drum samples. Vaguely inspired by New Order.

Blue Dawn

I wrote this many years ago for my brother-in-law Ali, who was learning to play sax. I produced it as a MIDI file, then used Propellerhead Reason to render it as an audio file. The percussion track isn't the best, but you get the general idea ;-)

Sax Song For Ali

Another Tenori-on composition, this time incorporating some real-time performance (besides just switching blocks)

Frog Pond Dub

In the beginning was pure goofiness, reckless fun just for the fun of it. After impacting head-on with this fast-paced, modern, dehumanizing world, a smiley-face with fangs, heavily compressed down to less than a pinpoint in hyper-dimensional volume, imploded to become the artist Spastic Goofball.

Influences:
Muddy Waters, The Rolling Stones, Weapon of Choice (MegaNut), NIN, New Order, Frank Zappa, Depeche Mode, Ministry, Talking Heads, Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Babes in Toyland, Jesus & Mary Chain, Miles Davis, My Woshin Mashin and others....
