Insect Duet

A more melancholic drift than usual, maybe a dream of a time when all the venues are closed and the festivals are bankrupt and we rely solely on the buskers. This mixtape includes multiple ‘duets’ created by combining captured fragments of buskers and street music performances (including some Holy Week processions as it seemed timely). I enjoy the idea that these performances were greatly separated by time and space and now hang together in one imagined moment. There’s also some extracts of small improvisations I recently recorded with my long time collaborator Sarah Anderson and some field recordings to build worlds around all of these sounds.

No timeline for this one, but rather just a list of locations and material, but as ever it’s the space created by overlaps that really matters. Enjoy.

Ghost Duets [ CounterFactualMixtape #3 April 2025 ]

A smoky, fragile duet between Boris and Naina. This is their love.... complicated, cracked, and still standing. Where fire meets reflection, two voices try to hold each other together.

Steel and Glass

Crash the Party

Boris turns inward. A melancholic 3/4 waltz reflecting on addiction, regret, and power’s high cost. The bottle dances, and so does he—clumsily, painfully, beautifully.

The Vodka Waltz

For the People (Act I Finale)

The curtain rises on post-Soviet absurdity. Boris Yeltsin bursts onto the scene with vodka in hand and a grin too wide for the Kremlin. A bombastic introduction through the eyes of “history’s drunks,” this number sets the tone with satire, swagger, and a sly wink at revolution.

A Toast to Chaos

From factory floors to smoky offices, Boris weasels and waltzes his way up the Soviet ranks. A fast-paced, hilarious rap about survival, schmoozing, and the office politics of a crumbling superpower.

Climbing the Party Ladder

I'm just a songwriter, standing in front of a computer, asking it to sing my heart out. Welcome to my world where I weave words into lyrics and let AI bring them to life.

guitars, mics, pedals and boxes
