Carefully done timing fix to a pretty good early Synth track from near the end of the Hexa album in August 2023, appropriately during the wildfire season but hearkening back to the days in 2020 when we weren't sure if some of the fires during that contentious year were arson or activists or both.

Track Art has 3 overlays:
1) the original which is a real image of the 2020 wildfires somewhere like a MSM photo
2) an imagining of an intelligence community situation map showing which fires were really set on purpose or not (a "top secret" NORAD like map with a general looking like Kiefer Sutherland in "24" nonsense)
3) a nod to the fact that Yellow Face is Gollum's name for the sun, so a TA 3017 evoking image of the orcs around him and they don't care because they know Sauron released him

My 53rd vocal track.  Made on my birthday :)
Like 'Film At Eleven' part of this is good but toward the end... lol
I remember Gene Wilder talking about Mel Brooks shooting ideas like a blunderbuss.  When they hit, great. When they miss... :)
Like recently, Every Given Moment / Chnospinci is dynamite.
I do have a better appreciation for the middle third though once I listen with headphones. it's just the last part that grates.  Before I listened at all I thought 2/3 was a problem

I try to kind of push myself to keep making to keep moving.

Lyrics:

You can save the world
If you believe in nothing hard enough

My compatriot scaled to the top of the battlement
And having decided he'd rather stay there
He proceeded to holler down at me somewhat imperiously
I'm starting to wonder if real-world accomplishment
Is daycare or welfare
For people who take shit way too seriously

The first act of transhumanism
Was Eve picking the apple
And down the line we've had to grapple
With piercingly sensible doomerisms

She was one of those rare girls
With a triple hair whorl

The girl was deep into the duck pate
And I was trying to break her into the idea
That it's not called an Ekhaus latte

Her tip was fringe Egyptian language theory
She looked up from studying her Demotic and
Hit me with a sharp query
Why do age gates always lead to erotica
I said you don't have to opt in dearie

Everybody pities the weak
But jealousy you have to earn
And i thought that was a rather sick burn
Coming from that little sneak

She said men need a lot less sex than they think
And i said in a universe where you'd say it
That's accurate

She said nothing is a fad
Here's the thing there will be no pendulum swing
We will not be returning
And then i said
We shall be pleased not to return to nothing
Got it!
And she said 
Well pleased might be too optimistic
I think things are about to go ballistic
So best gear up your learning

And then i recalled sex
With my social justice ex
I oppressed her alright
I oppressed her all night
And then i avoided her poison bite
By signing the rent checks

And once her creditors get paid
I would like to know how
The color revolution sausage 
Exactly gets made
All of the topical zest
Which goes into a slick
Top down protest
In something other than braille
I would like the full journalistic detail
As to how it all makes the grade

She had a sort of
Gourmet cachet
And they way she dealt
With all this shit about fat
Was to find a way
To bury the ice cream hatchet

In our time 
The republic of letters
Has very low walls about it
And someone had the unmitigated gall
To make a lowbrow insult
About all this tumult
And as a result
Nobody goes there anymore
Because it's too crowded

Color Revolution Sausage

submission for 1Bitober Art / Music Jam hosted by Luigi for Itch.IO October 2025

The instruments are -not- the same as on the FA-08 on the score because MuseScore has way fewer synth selections.
The jam called for a piece of hand-drawn pixel art to fit a 1920x1080 frame and adjacent to Halloween horror concepts, as well as the music piece.  I opted to be both the artist and the musician.

Thalassix The Mermaid Queen

alternate of Thalassix done for the Music/Art Jam rapidly done for WNCJ39 when i found out the jam was conducted only through the Discord!  (and a reminder to myself to later make a dummy project page on Itch.IO, as if posting an Itch item that's not-a-jam... because i'm confused that it's not on my page lineup, lol...at this time: not yet done) Barely made the deadline.

Thalassix The Mermaid Queen (Alternate for WNCJ39)

Compression fix to make the vocals less indistinct.  I was teasing out the vocals to be sharper.  I had a discarded intermediate where the vocals were even sharper but the instrumental was too soft probably.

Panopticon Parsley (Mixcraft Compression Alpha)

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
