A collab with electro synth popppers Highly Motivated Staff (check them out here: https://soundcloud.com/highly-motivated-staff). They added, as you may have guessed, a few synths here and there. A few of their underpaid staff were also forced to supply some "HOORAYs".

Enjoy!

Miserable Today (Hooray!) feat. HMS

TRBMN, orig., timepass (instrumental, rec 25 09 16)

lyrics

I joined
A fight I can't win
When I got with you
And you showed skin

Can't win
Can't win
Can't win

Can't Win

A-Festivity New World

There are voices you don’t just hear – you feel them.
Janne Hennie’s voice is one of those.
It’s honest, warm, and full of soul – turning this song into something that comforts.

In her interpretation of the classic by Mariah Carey, there’s so much heart that the song gains a new depth. Every note carries emotion, every word feels sincere.

I had the great privilege of creating the musical arrangement for Janne’s version. What emerged is an interpretation that moves – quietly, genuinely, and without pretension.

Thank you, Janne, for your voice, your trust, and this very special collaboration. 💫

It is a great honor to introduce this special musical project set to the powerful and beautiful poetry of the extraordinary Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral. This work was made possible with the kind permission of the Gabriela Mistral Foundation.
I want to give special thanks to the remarkable soprano Maribel Villarroel, whose stunning voice gave life and soul to each piece. Her deeply personal interpretation and awe-inspiring vocals brought authenticity and passion to this music. I am equally grateful to the brilliant pianist and arranger René Calderón, whose sensitivity and artistry are infused into every note. Their talent, dedication, and collaborative spirit have taken this project to levels I could only dream of as a composer.
Gabriela Mistral’s poems speak to the heart with timeless emotion, strength, and depth. Creating music for her words was both a challenge and a privilege, an emotional journey that led us to deep connections with her legacy and message.
The visual side of this release is also something I’m excited to share. The album cover was created by the outstanding Chilean artist Giovanni Gellona, whose artwork beautifully reflects the emotion and atmosphere of the music and Mistral’s poetry, and projects both her dignity and lovingness.
This album is not just a musical interpretation; it is a tribute to Chilean culture, poetry, and artistic collaboration. I hope listeners around the world can feel the love, effort, and respect behind every note.
I invite you to experience Gabriela Mistral’s poetry through this musical lens and share it with others who might be moved by it. 
With gratitude,
Pamela Illanes-Tatsuoka

La Medianoche
(Letra del poema “La Medianoche” de Gabriela Mistral)

Fina, la medianoche.
Oigo los nudos del rosal:
la savia empuja subiendo a la rosa.

Oigo
las rayas quemadas del tigre
Real: no le dejan dormir.

Oigo
la estrofa de uno
y le crece en la noche 
como la duna.

Y después nada oigo
sino que voy cayendo 
en los muros de Arlés
llenos de sol…

La Medianoche

UNCHAINED

Annie Smart

Closer Than You Know (Classical Glass and Annie Smart)

I almost made it to the portal, the one that would take me home, but then the sky suddenly darkened, the wind picked up, and  I could feel an ice cold chill in the air.  The sand beneath my feet began to shift, and before I knew it I was being taken away by a massive ghost ship.  There are clearly forces that don't want me to leave this place.  

It took me through a violent sand storm.  It was full of flashing lights, and images of people and places I once knew played like a movie on a screen made of clouds.  I must have passed out because once the dust settled I could see that I had traveled all the way to the edge of the desert.  Trees.  Lots of trees up ahead....

The Phantom Sandship

Yo! Last one from the Highly Questionable Strings EP - please feel free to go snag it if you haven't already: https://mayorofdonutville.bandcamp.com/album/highly-questionable-strings

Finger picking. I wrote this one on uke, wearing a baby in a baby sling underneath, pacing the apartment for hours while he refused to sleep every night for a month or two. It's conceivable that the melody belongs to someone else? It seems really familiar, in that familiar accidental-purloinery way (like the time I "wrote" a song that was already a Beach Boys song, and it just sounded soooo familiar!) Oh well. At very least, it borrows heavily from elements that have existed for a long time. 

What else? Glad you asked! Micah and I have released our first EP as Letterpress Mighty. I'll tell you more about that later, because we're still in the process of releasing tracks here:
https://soundcloud.com/letterpressmighty

And the EP is here:
https://letterpressmighty.bandcamp.com/

That EP is hard-won, and represents about two years of writing and recording work, through an irreparable computer crash, some broken equipment, a replacement computer and new software, three grueling semesters of school, a new house - I could keep going, but you get it. It's been hard, and it took longer than I wanted. That's partially why I'm soo excited that it's released. I'll be sharing each of those tracks to my page here as well, and I sincerely think you will enjoy it. 

That's all! Happy weekend!

One Horse Town (Live at UNO Fest)

Pinner's added some sweet acoustic comping to his signature modern sound as we smooth things down a little.  But check out Stephan's guitar playing towards the end.....well worth waiting for some superb guitar playing on the outro.  Stephen and I have recorded almost 40 tunes together.  So proud of this music! https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/smokin-with-stephan-stephan
