The moon is not what it seems. And that's not necessarily a good thing.

TILL WE EAT OUT THE MOON

In the sewage plaza there is no sun light matter
We work by “candelabras”
We stir them in the batter
I breathe in puffs of basalt
The workers share my sorrow
In hopes that someday they will be free to see tomorrow bloom
Locked up in a cesspool tomb
A coprolite room
Locked up till we eat out the moon
I run the pressure strainer that held the bones of Renda
She was my only sister
I begged her to surrender
But she refused to adhere
Now she is just a label
A tube of powdered substance among the mixing table
Our senses are numbed by the lasers
(Invisible pins sent from Mizar 5!)
We work beyond nature’s restrictions
A zombie who’s only conviction is THOUGHT!
Iz THOUGHT!
My mind’s the only organ that still retains it’s pieces
The other bits of me are somebody else’s nieces
A lonely hole to be in but I can see the faces
The memories I have are blocking out all traces of this gloom
Locked up in a cesspool tomb
A coprolite room
Locked up till we eat out the moon
Till we eat out the mooooooon?
Till we eat out the moon?
The moon?

Till We Eat Out The Moon

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999. He is currently the head of A&R at Modern Voices Digital Distribution.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.
