One of seven tracks of mine that are available on the digital album, "The Exploding Man", a "COVID-19 online collaboration" I did with friends and bandmates Dwight Schenk, David Novak and Bill Coombs earlier this year. 

The songs relate to a concept Dwight came up with: a man named Stan loses several body parts in an explosion, but eventually, he is pieced back together again.  The full album can be found at dwightschenk.bandcamp.com/album/the-exploding-man .

greater than the sum of the parts

This is the last song I'll post from an online collaboration between Hamilton Ontario musician Dwight Schenk and I, from our new Bandcamp (digital) album "Wight Arc", which is available at dwightschenk.bandcamp.com/album/wight-arc . Dwight also has a new album out (already!)called "Arrows of Moon".

an unfortunate oversight

3/8 swing in c minor

this song was influenced by the laid back yet hip songs you'd hear on US educational/childen's entertainment TV shows from the early 70s, such as "Conjunction Junction, What's Your Function", or School House Rock.

humpty dumpty

This song is a stray single that relates to an album Dwight Schenk and I did earlier in 2022, "Wight Arc" (available at https://dwightschenk.bandcamp.com) and will be also available on an album I intend to release on CD Baby later this year or early next year.

Dwight Schenk: guitalele, percussion and backing vocals; mastering; cover art.
Marc Fedak: vocals, digital piano, sampled mellotron; mixing; lyrics and music.

from salamander to fish

This is one of my songs on my third online music collaboration with Oshawa based musician and artist Dwight Schenk, "Villains Amongst Us" which he has posted at
dwightschenk.bandcamp.com/album/villai…s-amongst-us . 

Marc Fedak: music and lyrics, vocals, guitars, sampled mellotron and buzzsaw synth, mixing
Dwight Schenk: pizzicato cello, mastering

copper big toe

rainy day in dreamland

This is a song that didn't make the recent online album that Oshawa based Dwight Schenk and I posted, "Villains Amongst Us"**. Dwight wasn't keen on my mix, whereas I thought it was fine (at least on my Sennheiser monitoring headphones).  


** for those interested, the full album can be heard at dwightschenk.bandcamp.com/album/villai…s-amongst-us . 
 
Marc Fedak: electric guitar and vocals, mixing
Dwight Schenk: slide guitar, drums, bass, mastering

eternal present

ARPIE THE MINIMALIST

(Can you take it? Can you take it anymore?)

Arpie the minimalist / says hardly a word
Makes hardly a sound / has few possessions. 
His walls are bare. 
He leaves no trace. 
Arpie the minimalist / no presence, no face.
Arpie the minimalist / takes up no spaaaaaccccccccce. 

Um-tah, um-dah….

(Can you take it? Can you take it anymore?
It’s gone on for far too long
This monotonous minimalist song…)

Arpie the minimalist / says hardly a word
Makes hardly a sound / has few possessions.
His walls are bare.
He leaves no trace.
Arpie the minimalist
Has no face!

OR…..

Arpie the minimalist gets up at noon
Arpie the minimalist in bed by 2
He does the least / saves energy
All he does is / piss, shit and eat….. 

(Tah!)

arpie the minimalist

creative differences

the so-called "flute" part actually is the Garageband sample of the flute part of a mellotron.
