Day 194: In my house

An industrial style piece using patches by FGL.

Lyrics:
This roller coaster is going off the tracks.

Day 176: Post Rock Poster Child

One of the things that is a common theme among post-rock bands is obliqueness.  Many frequently tell you nothing about the band, or try to heighten the allure by only giving you snippets of information.  Liner notes are frequently pointless (if you still by CDs) and websites are often just pictures and tour dates, maybe a short bio that leaves more questions than answers.  I guess that's why I would never be great in a post-rock band, I think the distribution of information helps the cause.  I'm a fan of openness (hence the blogging).

This work was powered by Nine Volt Audio loops.  Not entirely, but a lot of it.

Cheers.

Lyrics:
We dig in the ground, 
Where all the bodies are found.
When you are around,
You will come on down.

Day 173: Hiding around every corner

Sometimes I will, very quickly, try to jot down some random idea to just have something started.  On many occasions these simple and spontaneous ideas have been the beginning of what ended up being some very original and unique works.  Today's piece was just such an occasion.

I had only a few minutes to sit down and essentially throw paint on the canvas and that ended up being the start of, what I think is a pretty solid piece.  It's not for everyone and it's not very "normal" (what is "normal" anyway?), but it has its own disturbing beauty.

Please enjoy.

Day 100: On Easter

Today's track is from my 2011 album "Washed in the Blood of the Lamb".  Peter Matteson featured on vocals.

Happy Easter!
