The Blame Game

Finding solace in one of my favorite songs recently, felt like recording it. 

This is a cover of a tune by Amanda Palmer, one of the first songs I learned how to play, thanks to @UkeSuck(Nicole Doring). It quickly became a favorite, as did Amanda Palmer.

I sang this tune at my brother’s wedding in October,  and felt like recapturing the moment once more.

Anything For You by Ludo (Cover)

This is a mix of underscoring for a performance art piece depicting the journey of a drag queen from preparation through performance - there are three sections with the last two overlapping into a realm of fantasy culminating in the performance.

I've utilized "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin; "Music for Marcel Duchamp" (1947), "Six Melodies"1950), and In a Landscape by John Cage; and various field recording samples to create ambient noise of the city as the performer was headed from home to the performance venue.
