Final masters of eight new cues. I will try to do eight more in May.

Red Dirt DnD (Part II 03/21): Final Mixes

If you don't like Christmas music, avoid this at all costs.

Christmas Eve (At Our House)

This is the finished song.  You can hear all the girls singing now at the end.

with the angel a multitude

This is the final song on Rearview in the Rain, an album I completed in 2006.  It ends the first third of the song cycle UNION, which was completed in 2008.

What the Dead Know

Gone, we drove out to the lake
So gone, so tired of being brave

You know it was spat out of the winter sky
Anyway, some other place where people die

Love, the water’s cold this time of year
Love, that’s why no one else is here

Love, your hands become as white as bone
Love, that’s how we've come to lose our home

But didn’t we get on?
Didn’t we have a lot in common?
Didn’t we have fun?

Love, where did it go?
Everyone wants to trade their truth
For what the dead know

After the crash we both forgot to die
Upside down and staring at the sky

A lake of stars so warm beneath our toes
But first we have to get out of these clothes

Swim with me into a deeper night
Turn what’s numb and still into the light

Mars is bright enough to be the sun
Space is warm enough when you’re not alone

We could go on
We have the night in common
And it might be fun

To see where this could go
To trade our worn and tired truth
For what the dead know

Ophanim (for Sarah)

Lying in Wait

Center of nowhere
Going, going
Gone on 
Empty coasting
For too long
Oh…
I should do something:
I’m lying in wait
Someday
Seems rational
To move
For someone like you
Push on through 
Maybe soon
For someone like
Someone like you
Even if
Even if not
Lying in wait
Lying in wait
Maybe soon
Maybe sooner than later
Lying in wait
Lying in wait

Lying in Wait

This is a binaural PNO. It works best on headphones with your eyes closed. If you listen that way, it should give you a spatial experience.

Christmas Morning (doodle)

in V2 took out some wrong notes (hey, there are lots of modulations, and it was late) and gave it a proper trip through my mastering suite. There are still errors, but this is good enough for now.
