Haven't composed music in a while. Here's a goofy thing I made in GarageBand!

Get Back Into It

the tension you feel in your chest and your neck
when intuition fails
the slight glisten of tears smeared across your wrist
like a trail of slime from a snail

if the universe is a toaster
we are clearly toast
that's for all us people
that's all, that's all folks

impossible staircase
melting clock draped over me
ascending and descending
pondering persistent memory

we only get a fraction of
the life of which we dream
that's how it's always been
that's how it's gonna be



i want to sever the limbs of this insect
we are caught in its web
how can i be happy
when the world i love is so sad?
i wanna say sorry
for the sadness of history
eyes water, refract the light
distort the image that i see

i want everything to be okay
i want the world to be okay
i want everyone to be okay
i just want you to be okay

That's All Folks

It’s a weird day.

Thrift Thought

end of the year

Gravity

I've got a smile on my face for the world to see
Seems that I'm not known for transparency
What a shock, I mean,
Who wants to be Debby Downer 3 hundred thousand million?

Guess we all want to believe we're something happier
Well, I am tired of being bland
I wanna say something that's off brand
And not be afraid by the slight of my hand

I am just about ready to unlock my private profile.

I choose which thoughts I should release
Image is key but I'm no masterpiece
You pro'ly knew that cuz the 
Folds from stress have started to crease up my canvas

Still I try to believe I'm something happier
I am tired of being bland
I wanna say something that's off brand
And not be afraid by the slight of my hand

I am just about ready to unlock my private profile

(reveals some secrets)
oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

🔐 Private Profile 🔓

From my new album "Children's Music For Big Kids" due mid to late December.

Bedtime Story

This is the music for my 3rd year film project at CalArts. It features a plectrum banjo and an mbira I borrowed from my World Music teacher. Luckily the mbira was relatively in tune enough to play together with the banjo at the end!
