They called out “One last swallow. 
Time to move along.”
Behind a smile so fake and shallow, 
painted on and worn for show.

“So find someone to follow 
or someone to take you home.”
They hauled out as the hollered 
with no place left to go.

There’s a Denny’s off Aurora - 
Avenue that’s always slow
with a waitress that pours coffee 
and once dialed him on the phone
To say that he reminds her 
of a husband that often roamed
With a voice so tired and hollow 
with no place left to go

It’s sad, I know
everytime the whistles blows
That the’ve gone mad. Yeah? So?

Devil’s Beach has lots of parking 
and houses in a row
A crane swung o’er the ocean 
beside a factory that was closed
A gull cried in the distance 
at a boat that wouldn’t row
From a throat that squawked and wallowed 
with no place left to go

Ah, its odd, I know
when siren wails and moans
That I’ve gone mad. Yeah? So?

So if you’re head grows weary 
and your heart stops beating on its own
Unafraid that you are dying 
but scared as hell to go alone
This last line cannot be written 
or forced, as you well know
For this song is worn and fallow 
With has no place left to go


Mad, Yeah, So?

our tribute to massive attack,  a song they did with mos def (who wrote the lyrics) for a sci-fi superhero anti-vampire movie soundtrack (blade 2 from 2002). it is an opportunity for me to use some radical drum sounds. i have been known to play this live, i start with a solo synth intro, then rap the song, then pick up my guitar & play an extended atmospheric feedback solo. you can hear a bit of that here although this is much shorter than i usually play it. art by h habash.

Intro To Cymatics And Self Healing Vol 1

This is a sound healing program i have been developing since getting back from Burningman.  It is a chakra tuning program.  It is best hear through quality dj, producer or gaming headphones.  There is a binaural meditation embedded within the program.  All of the frequencies correspond to our chakras and the frequencies used for the musical aspects of the program are tuned to them as well.  It progresses up the chakras and I have tested it using my sound transducer mounted in a chair and it is quite powerful.  I hope you enjoy.  More to come for sure and there will most definitely be revisions to this as well.
