I Saw Something (lofi version)

This is an experiment basically showing what the Walrus Slo reverb pedal can be used for lol. This song is only electric guitar, one track, one take. 

Other guitar effects include slow sine wave vibrato, hi pass+lo pass filter, octave+1, slapback delay. aaand I believe a small amount of overdrive. in case you wanna make stuff like this

Elegy Of The Ancients

I recorded this from a gig I played at The Bakery using a cassette tape player, then playing it back through a microphone into logic. I also superimposed me reading some poems I wrote in college over some of the instrumental sections. Highly recommend for chilling, studying, or falling asleep to

Performed live and recorded on tape, this album visits songs I've written over the course of my whole career, from age 16 to 26. From the first song I was proud of writing (Go Crazy), the first I ever recorded on my laptop (Serendipity), to the first song I ever debuted on streaming (Lazy Sunday), this will take you on a ride across time. 

Without drums and bass, it's a bit more on the chill and intimate side, feeling almost like a home demo except the songs are fully fleshed out.

Hope you enjoy!

I started this album as a joke and way to give myself a break from more serious projects. Basically a parody/homage to the Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack, a game series near and dear to my heart. I owe it for getting me into punk (and hip hop, too). 

The album artwork is of a sign in my parking lot, put in after I broke my wrist there, well, skateboarding. Couldn't play guitar for months, got a titanium plate put in and became a cyborg terminator. 

The picture was taken by placing my iPhone 6 camera behind a Newtonian prism. You know, the rainbow and the sunlight yadda yadda. Turns out it also warps size when you look through it, which makes for some interesting shots. 

I've had that iPhone 6 for 7 years, and still counting.

Oh Long Johnson!

Don't Let Them Skate

Lyrics:

Tell me, tell me what you wanna hear
I don't come here for your sunny revelations
Can you stomach what you believe?
You can't shake my faith in irony

So call me up if you got an issue
Call me up if you got no plants
Call me up just because I miss you 
Call me up when you wanna send

Buddy, I'm looking for a pick me up
And I'm running, running from myself
Hey I'm a rusted, dilapidated aqueduct
I can't help from spilling all over my town

Call me up if you got an issue
Call me up if you got no plans
Call me up just because I miss you
Call me up when you wanna send

Wanna Send?

Putting this out rough mix early because 
1) I love my Soundcloud homies and
 2) I think it's interesting to see the evolution of a piece of music over the years.

Holiday Man explores various themes, including biology, the educational industrial complex, isolation during quarantine, being fed up with society, COD black ops 1 zombies, democracy and equality, pollution, personal relationships, existentialism, the grind of being in your mid to late 20s, and of course, having fun. Enjoy the ride

 Been working on this for the past 3 years as my grand project. Wrote, recorded, and mixed all songs. Credit to Dylan Radigan for laying down a sick drum track on "Holiday Man," as well as my younger brother Niko Tesluh on bass in that same song.

Evolution

Potent coal, tossed in the waste pile
Focus slow, green gas from train fire
Nothing's wrong, I'm floating on waves and vibes
No amount of ocean can open these gates of mine
States of mind

I hate the alarm clock
What's going on tomorrow
Ah I'll figure it out
I shaved and I got a haircut
And a new job
Yeah, I figured it out

Going home the long way takes a while
Lost in the snow, caught in the frostbite
Loaded stone, you played this game with shady dice
Broke and alone, but you made this place a paradise
A pair of eyes who's staring at mine

I still have the same damn iphone 
From seven years ago
And I ain't throwing it out
We dig for the precious metals
For the new thing
And we're throwing it out
Never reduce

No Surfing Feb '24 Demo

Eternal Decay

Lyrics:

Got my hands on a smoke detector
Take it apart to extract the treasure
I call upon my freaks

Found my love in a chemical process
Scraping the paint off of radium watches
The photons burn upon my skin
One hundred billion again

Fun fun fun in a nuclear nation
I'm soaking up rays of solar radiation
A merit badge
A fatal lesson
As my descent is dawning on me

Guess it's time to go my own way
It's time for me to go my own way
It's time for me to go away

Put my faith in a nuclear reactor
My backyard shack is a natural disaster
A disturbance in the field
I can no longer tell what's real

Nuclear Boy Scout

She used to be my valentine
That's what I told her
I used to think that you were mine
But I'm not your lover

We used to think big all the time
Now we're enclosed in
That feeling of sinking makes you cry
You know that it's over, over

Catch you in the next one
Oh, that's life

A photograph tripped you up last night
You used to know her
It wasn't an issue til that fight
Now you don't know her

Every little thing you loved about her
Will hunt you like a double barrel gauge

You're not the type of one I'd say goodbye to
I wish I could just hold on one more day

She used to be my valentine
Now I don't know her

Valentine

Dirty Water

Song me and my bro made about life. You gotta find joy in the little things and yadda yadda, sometimes you find a 5 leaf clover
