Come Up for Air

This one comes from my album It Takes One Drop.

I actually started Come Up for Air on an old four-track recorder, probably sometime in the ’90s or early 2000s. I loved that thing. I squeezed…

Carrying Our Words
By Ofelia Zepeda

We travel carrying our words.
We arrive at the ocean.
With our words we are able to speak
of the sounds of thunderous waves.
We speak of how majestic it is,
of the ocean…

Crow is coming.

Next Friday, September 18, I’m releasing a new song.

I’ve been sitting with this one for a while, partly because I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. Some songs announce themselves pretty clearly. They tell…

Agentic: Able to act independently toward a goal rather than simply waiting for a human to give it every individual instruction.

The word comes from agency — the capacity to make choices and take action.

In a sentence:

“We’ve spent…

What you say is true but when you say it, it is not true.

“St. Augustine” perhaps….. not sure

This line distinguishes between something being objectively true and the speaker's relationship to that truth. it says, in effect, that a…

I was very proud of the way this song turned out. It is probably one of my Top 10 music production creations for sure.

It is called Drawbridge. It has a slow burn build I like.Enjoy

Well………………{long, pregnant pause},{drum roll}
 

I have decided to release an album.
 

There. I said it.

This has been bouncing around in my head for a while now. I’ve gone back and forth on it more than once. In fact, I’ve…

This Saturday, Sept 5 Wildgood is back at the Port of Leonardtown Winery from 2:00 - 5:00 pm! Let's party!!

Dylan Thomas

Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs
About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green,
The night above the dingle starry,
Time let me hail and climb
Golden in…

“Time changes everything except something within us which is always surprised by change.”

Thomas Hardy

"Meaning of the Quote

Constant change: Time alters the world, our bodies, and our surroundings.

Inner resistance: A deep part of human nature expects stability.

…

One step closer to leaning into a build and release.

Will decide by the end of this week.

Finalized distribution prep for my next song through CD Baby today. I expect to lock it in tomorrow, but I’m still fussing with the art. Here is what I am thinking.

It does have a Halloween-ish ambiance, kinda-sorta. I would…

Mahpiohanzia is a coined word from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows that describes the deep disappointment of being unable to fly or float into the air.

Meaning and Origin

Pronunciation: "Mah-pee-oh-han-zee-uh"

The Feeling: It is the heavy letdown…

“What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily…

I’m putting the finishing touches on my next release.

It’s called Crow.

It’s a sound-design smorgasbord—a song that took a few unexpected turns while I was making it.

One of those turns came from a synth sound that…

I have at times ruminated on my music making adventures and wondered why I do it.

Cons

• Takes a great deal of time and effort for relatively low payback financially. (I now hear Jeff Spicoli's voice in Fast Times at…

Clearing
by Martha Postlethwaite

Do not try to save
the whole world
or do anything grandiose.
Instead, create
a clearing
in the dense forest
of your life
and wait there
patiently,
until the song
that is your life
falls into…

I made this a long time ago now. It was my first real attempt at a song in the synth EDMish genre

I thought it came out pritty, pritty, good.

Enjoy

Falling Off My Edges

I have a new song I’m thinking about releasing in about a month. A very Hallo-weeny vibe. Should I wait until closer to Halloween or just go with my usual pacing of song releases?

This one was purely a quick,…

ESCAPE BY D.H. LAWRENCE

When we get out of the glass bottles of our own ego,
and when we escape like squirrels from turning in the cages of our personality
and get into the forest again,
we shall shiver with…

I am closing in on having enough songs to imagine distributing an album and I am back to the same question; is it worth it to release an album or just stick with the singles format? It is a good…
