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.

SCARY MONSTERS AND NICE SPRITES

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.

Foxes - Youth (Adventure Club Dubstep Remix)

Bringing this old tune back out for a spin, the vocals have been renewed afresh...

Waltzing Rats

One day the rats will go waltzing
in the towers made of gold,
and the midnight will smile on the rosy nose
of everything meek and cold;
and with thimbles for bells
they’ll clamor like hell, on the broken
beaks and wings; where owls
were once their kings.

With long teeth, and tuxes, and ties,
and pockets of dandelion seeds;
they gift all their beauties with
the tarnished trinkets,
only the best of dumpsters have seen.
Moving their tails to the organ reeds
of plastic wrap and cheese,
and a rather tasty breeze.

By the dreams of tiny things,
and the tails of grief and woe;
Fortune may come to the meager paws,
of those it seldom knows.

One day the rats will go waltzing
in the finest of luxury suites,
and the mornings will glow on the 
sable eyes, of the ones with quiet feet;
and with candy corns for horns,
they’ll roar for joy along the halls,
by streaming soda falls.

With quaint canes and top hats,
and a flicker of whisker before they kiss,
they twirl all their beauties then take a bow
for the world has become their bliss.
The secret of squeaks where shadows hide beatsm
of thundering hearts that meet,
for rejoicing their love is sweet.

By the dreams of tiny things,
and the tails of grief, and woe.
Fortune may come to the meager paws
of those it seldom knows.

Waltzing Rats

...Honey combs the wild eyed bees, violins and springs;
with twigs and strings - a hummingbird’s bowed viola wings.

Twigs & Strings (Owl's Tears)

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

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

Down the motorway, across the lines... before, before
You know it's coming, it's coming
for me.

I will draw the words, for this.
It's coming, it's coming
For me... (neck high in moonlight)
It's coming for me... (neck high in moonlight)...

A peek into my upcoming album. 

This album will go into new and different directions for me. It will be released thru http://soundcloud.com/inneroceanrecords and feature a few artists on the label. There's a quick recycled snippet by two Inner Ocean artists in this track, Porya Hatami and Cory Zaradur. Enjoy!

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.

:: Octobuse (Single)

A creepy little holiday delight for you and yours. Words and music by Mark Corrin and Mita Lupa. Released with VPL records on their debut holiday EP. Available via Bandcamp through the 'buy' link, above. Warmest greetings from Der Golemz!

(as Der Golemz) :: The Golem Has Stolen The Stollen

Belfast-based four-piece Girls Names are a singular proposition, both geographically and psychically removed from their contemporaries at home and abroad. Released in February 2013, their second album 'The New Life' is the sound of a band on the fringes striving to forge their own path, purposefully out of step - and time - with their surroundings. Weighed heavy with the grey landscapes of their hometown, 'The New Life' is isolation laid bare, shot through with an undeterred sense of purpose and individuality.

Having released a series of singles and EPs on various independent labels, Girls Names made their first significant impression on the wider world in 2011 with their debut album, 'Dead To Me,' earning plaudits from the likes of Pitchfork, NME and Loud & Quiet amongst a host of others. And yet, despite all the praise heaped on it, as soon as that record was released Girls Names were already moving into a different headspace. 

The band’s performance at this year Primavera festival provided them with their first real opportunity to showcase the songs that were to comprise 'The New Life.' The sunshine backdrop of the Spanish coastline offered a somewhat incongruous setting to the eerie dissonance of the new material, a kind of trial by fire metamorphosis rapturously received. Following a tour of Europe, the band returned home to record the album over a series of months. Having been produced by singer and songwriter, Cathal Cully, they’ve managed to capture that sense of otherness the performances at Primavera hinted at. The expansion to a four piece means the garage-clatter of the spritely pop songs of their debut have been replaced by a deeper, shadowy exercise in catharsis, driven by repetition, psychedelia and Dionysian crisis. And the record was born of a weighty concept too, as Cully explains: 

“'The New Life' is not an over night change for Girls Names - just over two years in fact. 'Dead to Me' literally was dead to us by the time it was committed to wax. But it's a learning curve. We started moving on as artists the moment we finished that recording session, maybe even before. Not to dwell on the past, 'The New Life' is what happens when you reset everything back to zero and start again, but try to perfect. It starts back at zero the minute the needle hits the groove but we're also starting back from zero once the needle lifts at the end of the record. Ad infinitum. 'The New Life' is what follows now.”

The album’s title track, and the first single to be taken from the album, is an ideal entry point. Just shy of 8 minutes long, it rotates around a hypnotic bass line, and in Cully’s evocation of renaissance, offers a perfect metaphor for the album as a whole. New single ‘Hypnotic Regression’ - available to stream today - reflects another side to the record. The reverb-heavy guitars and compelling melody are immediately memorable, but there are signs of experimentation, too; the white squall of the lead break; the uneasiness in the vocal echoes that furnish the verses. As such, 'The New Life,' stands as a brave statement; the mark of the band untying themselves from the past and easing forth into the unknown.

"The New Life" will be released on February 18th, 2013 on Tough Love (UK) and February 26th, 2013 on Slumberland Records (US).

CACK4501 | THE KRZYSZTOF KOMEDA TRIO | KNIFE IN THE WATER | 7" SINGLE | CACOPHONIC RECORDS

A record of contended mythical existence amongst fans of Euro cinema and rare jazz for decades this Polish only EP contains all four themes to Polanski's first-ever feature film Knife In The Water composed by unanimously beloved Polish pianist Krzysztof Komeda.  Featuring Roman Dylag (Bruno Spoerri’s Teddy Bär) and a radical inclusion of a Swedish trumpeter, the sought after Bernt Rosengren, this picture sleeve EP (complete with artwork from Polish poster legend Roslav Szaybo) is the only true existing companion piece to the other Komeda/Polanki soundtracks Cul De Sac and Rosemary's Baby released before his accidental death in April 1969.  Having worked alongside Don Cherry, Michel Urbaniak and Gato Barbieri while unwaned by the clutches of communism this important artist deserves due focus.

~Octobuse is an international avant-pop elecronic music collaboration between Mita Lupa of Portland, Oregon and Mark Corrin (formerly Shirokuma) of Manchester, England. 
Featured in The Guardian's music blog, Nov. 29, 2013, as a band to pay attention to. Cheers to that!! 

The music that Octobuse creates is playful and stylistically varied, characterized by female/male vocal interplay, surrealist "flash fiction" lyrics, catchy melodies and short, poppy songs. Some shared musical influences on the project include Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson, Tom Waits, Beck, Delia Derbyshire, medieval music, psychedelia, pop and hip hop.  

In his previous work as Shirokuma, Mark's music has been widely acclaimed by many including the NME, DJ Magazine and BBC radio, and he has been broadcast by the likes of John Peel, Steve Lamacq, Rob Da Bank and FloMotion’s Nick Luscombe. He has recorded, remixed and contributed to a prolific number of releases and has also collaborated with a variety of notable artists including Can's Damo Suzuki, Max Tundra and Andy Votel. Mark is also very involved in the Manchester music scene, and has co-run club nights and gigs at notable venues such as The Lass O Gowrie (recently voted best pub in the UK by the BBC).  

Mita Lupa has a rich and varied career as a songwriter, composer, award-winning theatrical sound designer, music technology teacher, film editor, live engineer and published writer. She has worked on theatrical productions in several US states and is also a prolific painter. A multi-instrumentalist and a charismatic vocalist, Mita is also in her element with improvisational playing and spontaneous composition. She is a highly experienced and constantly progressive artist and producer who enjoys recording and innovating in a wide variety of styles. 

The project's debut single "Octobuse" was played as part of Manchester's Delia Derbyshire Day in January 2013, a multi-media event which also showcased modern artists influenced by her work. The event was widely publicised by BBC Radio 4, The Guardian and Manchester Evening News and was a sell out success. Octobuse are currently working on their debut album which will be released later this year.
