The Anthem

When Legpuppy asked if I fancied remixing another of their tracks, I jumped at the chance.  Out came my dusty guitars, the old bass and well, this is what happened.  Punk? Rock? Dance? Pop? I have no idea what you call these three and a half minutes…but wow, were they fun to put together and I still feel somewhat breathless by the end.

Tears (*thommo* remix)

Beyond Your Open Mind

This track was originally composed as a piano solo, with each section being a remnant of the initial theme.  Eventually, it was expanded to include full orchestra at various sections.  "Remnants" was inspired by the idea that we are made up of memories, and these remnants are what we carry with us into the present and future, there to be called upon as needed.  I chose the cover photo because, like memories, it's varied in color and texture, but the result is the beautiful creation of the whole.

This is ‘Millgrove in Winter’ - a little song I wrote recently between various collaborations. While it gets pretty chilly up here in the hills, it also brings a different kind of beauty you don’t get from the warmer months. Should be on Spotify et al pretty soon. Enjoy 💚

Here's a song about an army of corn marching on a town at midnight. (Hey, these things happen in Wisconsin.)
Main guitars on this are a Vintage Modified Stratocaster and a Gretsch 5622T. The combination of the classic Strat tone and the Gretsch's Super HiLotron pickups is a recipe I personally love.
A single from the upcoming Penelope's Thrill album, "Twilight on Tunnel Road," due out on April 26, 2021.
All the songs on "Twilight on Tunnel Road" are about Lonnie and Chloe, who grow up on adjacent farms on the edge of the Driftless Area of Southern Wisconsin. This song is about Chloe's recurring dream of a vast army of corn marching at midnight toward the town. Ever since she was a child, Chloe has dreamed about the billowing ocean of corn covering the undulating hills around their farmhouse--the tall, thick stalks that towered above her head with leaves that looked like arms. The way the corn swayed in the wind made the stalks seem like people, like an orderly crowd of people standing in rows, or--by moonlight--a vast army. She dreamed about this corn army, sometimes imagining herself their queen. When she grew older, she would joke with Lonnie about this. Lonnie would call her Queen of the Corn and refer to cornfields as her troops.
LYRICS:
“The Edge of Town”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

When you’re feeling so low,
getting so you’re feeling so run down,
you’re heading for the edge of town.

When your mind starts slipping,
when your head is tripping round,
you listen for a certain sound.

You go walking late at night, look at the distant lights
that flicker in the midnight sky.
You don’t see no one. That’s because you are going
deep beyond the edge of town.

Now the night wind’s shifting,
looking at the cornfields stretching wide
like an army in the night.

You see corn troops moving,
marching through the midnight fields alive,
heading to the edge of town.

And the pine trees sifting…the messages drifting down
from the moon into your eyes.
Now the oak trees wonder why you stare up at the sky
so rootless and alone.

Noctilucent clouds are
drifting past the moon and I
wonder why you’re looking down.

Armies of corn are marching
down the hillsides toward the town
sleeping silent in the night.

The Edge Of Town

Walter Mmari is an independent artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa, composing ambient and electronic music since the early 2000s. Walter Mmari blends neo-classical works with elements of post-rock, new age, meditation and electronic music. Walter has also branched out into film and television soundtracks earning placements in independent productions. 

In Walter's own words:
In our modern age of constant distraction, I believe in the healing power of music. Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Music is to the soul what words are to the mind and with these instrumental pieces I hope to take you all on a journey of introspection. Take a moment each day to listen to some calm music, to spend time with yourself, to remember who you are, to discover why you are here, and to set a course to become the best version of yourself. Music is the true bread of life. We are all angels in transit in this place we call Home.

I would like to thank you all for your continued support.
