I am invisible
I am invisible I am free from the pressure of being special I welcome the potential of being mediocre I welcome the likeliness of remaining anonymous many people will never know that I exist it is enough to be myself to have myself as an audience

Sensuality
Sensuality is a moment captured in a picture I know it when I see it when I'm looking at myself I know it when I see it I'm feeling it does it look like I'm feeling it? Will you tell me if it looks like I'm feeling it?

A debt
I hurt someone so badly and now that I have I'm reminded of the people who have hurt me at the times that they did it was impossible to forgive it wasn't time for forgiveness but now it is I collect the resentment that is owed to me I close my eyes to find instructions to retrace mistakes that should not be repeated I close my eyes and see the one I've hurt successful, assurred, adored and supported

Our Head is Not Our House
If you asked my ghost what it thinks it would tell you that it made a mistake that it never should have chosen such a constrained vessel it stays up high always trying to find an exist it needs more space I need us to be integrated we are so crowded we think our head is our house

Research Stage of Love
I haven't been held in a while I'm needier now than I was last Spring my imagination has chosen a lover my hopes are too high I still let the feeling come when my hopes get too low I trust I'll let the feeling go I'm in the research stage of love assessing what is possible the potential for lasting affection is as great as the potential for crushing rejection my heart is so gullible ignorant and vulnerable and although I'm aware of the risk I'm commitment to following it trying my best to give into it I'm committed to my heart

As If
Waiting as if you should know waiting as if you should already know what my heart has decided for us there's something in here that I want to place outside of myself draw it out like bathwater write it out in a letter maybe I won't even send it maybe I will and it won't even be wanted lightning bolt! I'm jolted I feel like I'm living in a timeline in a future in which you're mine

WIZARD APPRENTICE  "I Am Invisible"

“Headboggle splinters his typically all-encompassing style of synth composition into tiny one minute morsels & the results play out like fellow Bay Area legends The Residents on their Commercial Album: short and sweet, presenting each idea as a discrete miniature world and moving on. Derek presents a comprehensive taxonomy of the tones and strategies within his arsenal of synths and electronics, finding room for everything from glistening classical-informed harmonies to the bludgeoning rhythmic squelches that have become his signature. Across 44 tracks, Derek dilates time and sketches out some oblique narrative known only to him that seems to contain infinite details”.                      
- Max  Allison, Hausu Mountain 

“ HOLY SHIT Headboggle has gone “commercial” with (44) one-minute jingles of brain-damaged intent. I can’t get over this joker’s Modern Ballroom Dancing © sound - puts me super smiley in the headspace of Mort Garson or The Residents. My favorite release of his so far.”     
                                                                                               - Bran (...) Pos 




Derek Gedalecia, a.k.a. Headboggle, has been performing electronic keyboard-based soundscapes for several years in the Bay Area in over a hundred local performances at venues ranging from GTK to YBCA. Incorporating lowbrow with highbrow art, music, and comedy, Headoggle’s intent is to fuse together a new ecstatic improvisational performance style with a carefully crafted musical underbed. In his formative years, Gedalecia studied classical and ragtime piano from noted ragtime composer/revivalist Dr. Brian Dykstra.

For Fans Of: The Residents, Emeralds, Suzanne Ciani, Wendy Carlos.

Clips from 'Boötes Void' the new release from Metal Preyers (strictly vinyl only release)  220 Copies one sided Vinyl.  

Buy Link: https://bit.ly/2ELolrL

Matching the oneiric dramaturgy and machine drum-noise aesthetics of their recent, internationally praised debut record, Metal Preyers re-emerge into their disorienting, dread-inducing soundscape and condense it into this 20 minute, beautifully composed work. Soaked in atmosphere, and genuinely unsettling, Bootes Void lures us into a world of hypnogogical hallucinations and disturbing instrument lacerations. Crafted with fragments of abrasive guitars, otherworldly piano tones and machinesque doom synth-lines, the record follows a deliberate progression and cinematic narration, elements of musique concrète can be picked up. The opening wooden drums create a frightening tension that is intensified by the decaying loops against a backdrop of misty harmonic dissonance, blood-curdling screams and eerie chanting. When it dissipates it can only shift into a more ghostly surrealism. A discomforting desolation echoing void.

Releases October 1st, 2020
