Trick Pony (Cover) ::

This is a poem I began writing in 2008. It has since been amended and refined, eventually also becoming a song. Here you hear me reciting it live, on Halloween 2022, as the rain comes down around me in Portland, Oregon, USA. Waxing about one of the dryer places on Earth, frpm one of the wettest.

Enjoy the ride!! 

PS - this is a true story?

Piano Oboe and Strings. Playful birds on a cool windless day.

Birds of a Feather

Recorded on cassette 4-track in 1994. Me on bass, keys, drum machine and vocals.
Lyrics:

I try to find you, I've been stalking through your neighborhood.
You must be somewhere, but I keep lookin' and my search ain't goin' very good,
Big Spider.
I wanna bite but my love, you are nowhere in sight
I try to phone you, 'cause I want you love to break the silence!
We could be an ocean. We could spin webs of light.
I have a notion, but you are nowhere in sight.
I wanna kiss you. I wanna run my legs all through your hair
I really miss you.

I walked across the hot cement, I've swung from every tree, I played the part of Charlotte, but the pig, I could not see. 
Oh everywhere I could, I looked, and everywhere went I, but no place did I see your face, I will not say good-bye. I will not (so say's I). I will not say good-bye.

We'll, we've been talkin'. Talkin' 'bout the things we share
And we've been holdin', holding out 'cause we don't dare
Break the silence. And break plates, break records, break hearts, break water...
Build an island.
Swim across the sea.


Big Spider

Big Spider (4-Track 94)

Wolf Eats the Moon

The Nonversation

Welcome to my church. All are welcome. Here, we worship each other, & music is the Eucharist.

Telekignosis

I celebrate regardless of defeat, and throw my roses at the gelding's feet.
___
Please note: "the beast" in the second line, is THE CAT from the first line. Due to some people's propensity to assume some other connection, I feel a need to CLARIFY this fact; 
I am pledging allegiance to a CAT. 

That is all. 
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

If you have any questions, inquire within.

The Gelding

Surreal romp through the mind of a fiery and playful goddess.

Pele's Agenda

A journey. 

Composed/Recorded Spring 2011. Mix 1.

2:45 (4-track, '96)

Spirits dancing on the shores of deliverance? Epic sky battle of good vs. evil? Sumerian sacrifice? Fiery testimony of the wrongfully accused? Harnessing the wind for the voyage of a lifetime?

Fire Flight

Inspired by and including samples of the Leonid meteor showers.

Song for the Leonids

Scary little ditty that's been rattling around in me head. Finally clawed it's way out in time for Halloween. 

BOO!

*Available for dload via bandcamp soon

Monster's Lament

Classical. Whimsical. Oboe, bassoon, strings. 

Conversation #1 in C Minor

As stated, the very first song I wrote, recorded, played, and sang on. 4-track, 1993. Portland. The tune that kicked it all off, this sonic obsession o' mine. 
Over the years this song has often been a favorite of friends... I am convinced it's b/c they're all teenagers at heart. It's the cussing. And sex! :)

Lyrics:

Tuna in the letterbox
Forwarded address
Forgot about her smile, cock's
Gone on that caress

Slish-slosh
Wishy-washy
Girl is only fish
Charm, harm
Hump, dump
"Boy, was she a dish"

Wading through these frozen waters
Trying to be the river's daughter...
But I'm getting cold.
Thundering sound, the crackling ice
Chasing me again, rattling dice...
I can't do that anymore.

Salmon at the marketplace
Picking at the lox
Undress her with his eyes and it
Stiffens up his cock.

Slish-slosh
Wishy-washy
Girl is only fish
Slump-frump
Hump, dump
"Boy, was she a dish."

THE FALL OF DECENCY :: Part 1

The Inauguration of Odious Re

The Inauguration Of Odious Re ::

Smashing fascism, one synth-pop song at a time.
Lyrics:.....................................
Money. Glory. Oily war. 
Making bets. Keeping score. 
Propaganda. Us and them. 
Death to ordinary women and men.

Got no choice but let the enemy in 
Won't wash his hands before he begins 
Wanking the media for all that it's worth, 
Spurting mediocrity all over the earth. 

Tempest. Violence. Just the way 
Men have done things since the earliest days. 
Heaven help us, if we pray to evolve 
If no one's receiving, well then, what does that solve? 

How can we stop perpetuating this hate? 
Let go of the fears you create. 
Are you so much better than the ones you despise? 
You look the same through my eyes.

THE FALL OF DECENCY

No One's Receiving

No One's Receiving ::

Percussion created using only sampled (and sequenced) kitchen utensils. Recorded 2009. 

Old Goat Takes His Hat Off Before Mocking Your Reflection

The Old Goat Takes His Hat Off Before Mocking Your Reflection

Casio love from the old dayz. Dark, sexy, creepy pop. Tinybig song from a tinybig woman.

Share The Wealth (4-track 1996)

A song on my album, 'Cure for Tarantism', that acknowledges & hopefully honors & pleases the spirits who sometimes lurk quietly & sometimes announce themselves in various profound ways. Are they fleeting, or do they stick around? Be they pranksters, monsters, goblins... ghosts of family, friends.... Have they made my house their home? An energetic, danceable, heel-slapping tune that hearkens back to the times of my ancestors.

Mita Lupa :: SONG FOR MY GHOSTS

Hundreds of hours of pure love into this baby. Deep, gothic, sexy, heart-felt LOVE. Get your dance on. EAT THE BASS.

Cure for Tarantism

Not 2 Good 2 B True

Mita Lupa :: NOT 2 GOOD 2 B TRUE

Another song from my coming album, 'Cure for Tarantism'. This one inspired by, written for, & dedicated to my first found soulmate & the girl I loved as a child, & evermore. Still, the best friend I've ever had. I miss her every day. Besides walking, dancing, & laughing beside me, she was the most beautiful, talented, silly, loving, & wise spirit I've ever known. Dead at 16, she lives on through those of us who love her, & for me, she lives in every single thing of beauty I create. <3

For Alicia

Mita Lupa :: FOR ALICIA

Another song from my album, 'Cure for Tarantism'.

Point of Eye

Mita Lupa :: POINT Of EYE

Song built upon improvisations. 1997. Used a "haunted" 360 Systems keyboard, very odd, for example: the timpanis, which I found EXCELLENT, only sounded some of the time, and if memory serves, had no particular setting. I vowed to take advantage of them when I could, and this song resulted.
