I got attached this song because my friend wanted me to help them learn it and now I've been enjoying playing it a lot myself. I mainly play mandolins more specifically octave mandolins which are an octave lower. this particular mandolin I'm using in the video was a Squier Mini by Fender that was modified into a mandolin by luthier Mortone who added a bridge and two extra tuners to accommodate the two extra strings. I've done a bit of work to it myself, mostly cosmetic stuff.

I got the chords and lyrics from Ultimate Guitar and based my singing and playing style in this performance loosely on a live version of Fade Into You by Mazzy Star.

I obviously don't know the music or lyrics but arguably I own this performance.

beanie - chezile (cover)

what use to come so effortlessly now takes so much work (demo)

This 2010 project represents one of my favorite collections of songs that I've written and recorded. It is deeply personal, with sarcasm and humor throughout; and working through it was quite therapeutic. The album cover was illustrated by my daughter, Aurora, who was 11 years old at the time.

Deader Than Me

Other Half

(Track 9/10 Nothing) There is no hiding the fact that a Chinese Buffet is fantastic. Hence, this song. (trigger warning: poop humor at the end.)

Mouth Dakota - A Light For You

July's song for the Linear Music Assignment Project.

Same Day (Over and Over)

about this song: recorded in a Mission District warehouse in San Francisco featuring Quiin Tsan as my June Carter

PROMPT: write a song inspired by Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire"

PLEASE NOTE these are lo-fi demo recordings due to the fact that I am writing and recording on the road with my iPhone (see the Biography below for details). thanks for yours ears! enjoy!

BIO: My one-way train ticket to San Francisco departs in August and all of you listeners out there are coming with me. This set of experimental lo-fi recordings will explore reinvention and anonymity as it relates to the act of leaving and returning back to somewhere familiar. I’ve spent the past six years in Chicago performing and recording music under my first and middle name, Rachele Eve. Beginning as a solo artist accompanied by a drummer, I eventually formed a full rock band that incorporated elements of psychedelic pop and what I would more appropriately coin as “desert rock” to my songs. The fruits of that project include a full length album entitled Mouth of Feathers, an official music video for our single “Harold Moon”, and live recording sessions with Daytrotter and AudioTree, both with include unreleased songs. More recently I have ventured off into writing finger-style folk ballads accompanied by two cello players with whom I am currently recording a 7 song EP where we explore sound scape and experimental ambience and instrumentation. My songs and musings have almost always come about impulsively without a conscious methodology or effort to recreate within a certain niche. Thus, the confines of this project, ie its syllabus and deadlines, are something I welcome wholeheartedly.

this song is part of the Linear Music Assignment Project created by our song steward Justin Wood who has invited a group of musicians from all over the world to write, record, and release a song a month for an entire year. providing us with different prompts each month, we will all end up with a full length album by June 2013.

second hand smoke ft. Quinn Tsan // october 2012

This is a collection of tunes I wrote that I recorded and produced in 2019. I decided to wear my classic rock influences on my sleeve much more than I have in the past, while pushing into how I imagined David Bowie would be using technology if nobody knew who David Bowie was.

Vanity Is the New Mother of Invention

Stochastic Destroyer

Mandolinist playing not very mandolinish songs. Also a one man band.
Older uploads are from my projects like my one man band Last Man On Earth where I played drums and keyboard at the same time. Others I created with KORG DS10 on Nintendo DS.
