Mita's Love songs

New and old vocal music. Solo and with ::OCTOBUSE::  Pop and rock songs, mostly. Sometimes punk, sometimes, jazzy, funky... I like to mix it up. This is what I started out doing... writing and recording little big songs and singing my heart out on them. 

Included here is some of the first music I ever wrote or recorded, under the collection title of 'Broken Water'. All 'Broken Water' tracks recorded in Portland, OR and Phoenix, AZ, USA, between late 1993-1998. Recorded on Cassette 4-track. I'm playing all of the instruments, as well as producing and engineering, unless otherwise noted. 


Vocal music ~ pop, rock, crypt-hop, choral, soundtrack, etc.

A collection of my faves and those which seem most beloved by others. Solo, and with Octobuse.

Mita's sundry what-nots :: eclectic sampling of my tunage-so-far

Dark tale of a clever murderer. 
A woman, enchantress... or an allegory? 

At Large

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

Telekignosis

From Tuva with Love

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.

Towards Yonder Castle

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 ::

From the coming album, 'Cure for Tarantism'. I'm slowly eeking out these tunes that I've labor-of-loved for 3 years. This song was the first completed and the least messed with: It happened fast and with very little fuss. Appropriately, as it's inspired by the uncomplicated, unrelenting joy I shared with the girl who will forever make me feel never-quite-lonely. Even as a spectral once-was, she remains a forever-is, and unlike our bodies that inevitably crumble in time, our love will never die.

Cure for Tarantism

You Radiate Light

Mita Lupa :: YOU RADIATE LIGHT

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

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

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.
