The Song (Demo)

I got an itchy ass
I've got a twitchy eye
I can smell myself from way up here

Now I got godliness
Deep inside my ear
Telling me to get on top of it

Let's get one factoid clear:
I'm lactose incompetent

Lactose Incompetent (Demo)

*for my song challenge friends below*

Hey folks. 
I only spent a few minutes in Musescore; can't read music so I just randomly wrote in notes on random instruments then sampled. 

Was listening to Rick Rubin's new book, and he suggested a way to write lyrics where you beat a pillow for 5 minutes non stop and then write down the first things that come to mind. I did that once and wrote what became the, uh, wholesome lyrics, then I did it again and recorded it. 

By the end of the process I was beating up a pillow at full force for a combined total of 12 minutes and I am still sore from doing it days later. The outro to this is a sliced and stacked up take of me punching the poor (thankfully memory foam) pillow until I was laughing hysterically. 

For the sung lyrics I had a friend call me and read a random line from a random book of hers. It vaguely fit what I *think* the theme is. 

The end result is a confused, id driven weirdo piece. Cathartic as hell to make, but not quite enjoyable to listen to. Most fun I've had in a decade. 

Enjoy!

Lyrics: 
AAAAAHHHHH 
I eat what I am 
I am what I eat 
I fuck what I am
I fuck what I see 
I fuck with no one 
I fuck with myself 
I fuck everyone
I fuck myself
I fuck my containment
I fuck my confines
I fuck my complacence
I fuck my  
In the backyard
by the mossy tree
in the heavy rain
a seed
(pillow pummeling solo)

For The Love Of The Process (Or "To Beat A Pillow For 10 Minutes Straight")

Lyrics:

I heard them whisper my name
It’s the sweetest of sounds
But it’s laced in pain

Evading life and raising alarms
For running alone
Erasing love 

A thousand faces under rocks is all I can see
Don’t let the lack of light hurry you to your knees
And I’ll protect you, I won’t force
My way in 

When the rest is alone
Hearing’s enough
Heave us over ledges closing the ocean
Weave our way home
Over edges into the ocean

Erasing life and raising alarms
For running alone
Erasing love

Weave Our Way Home - Sumika X Dante

Disappearing (DEMO)

Get Some Sun

My proof that acoustic guitars don't work in space. Inspired by Aliens vs Predator (2000) for PC and every space scene in every movie and also Voyager for one bar. 

Recorded with a tascam sitting on a pillow on my couch. Samples are the  BBC Symphony Orchestra which was definitely acoustic when it was sampled. Drums are ableton packs of acoustic kits so HMU if you wanna drum on this.
