Tyrant

New song. Old riffs and drum sample. Old shoegazer jam. I'm thinking of rendering this into a guitar and vox only track. Ill have to do some new arrangements. Anyways, I wanted this to be a like an old vinyl record. Like what you would play if shoegaze was existent in the 1950s. Something a new age surfer would listen to when riding a big wave.

Light Between Everyone

It's been so long, too long.

Once, I was an imaginative young man, with dreams, hopes and desires. I was filled with ideas and inspiration. I spontaneous and chaotic, now.....I'm a simpler person.

Sydney is wonderful. Bright and shinning. I live around a 20 min walk from Sydney Harbor. So I walk over there every weekend or so, to catch some street theater and just people watch. I went down the other day and saw the sunset. I was watching all these people, and I was thinking that everyone must be connected. There's a light between all people.

I haven't returned, because I didn't leave.

Hello

So im here in Sydney, it doesnt feel like i left home. and i dont mean that in a good way, but i also dont mean it in a bad way. When i came here i didnt exactly immediately try to assemble myself into Australian life and culture. Im living with relatives in Cabramatta, a town an hour away from Sydney. Everyone here is Vietnamese of Chinese Vietnamese. It feels like Im back with family, thats all, it feels familiar, not comfortable, but familiar.

But now, ive finally found a place and am going to be moving in next weekend. Ill get myself rested and settled in and then ill start trying some open mics. For now, im just hanging around. Wont be able to record any new material for a while now. The only you'll hear new material is from live shows. And if you're not in sydney you cant really catch any of them. So im thinking of releasing small live EPs from now on. If I can find a way to somehow record live without bringing my laptop. But look out for that.

Thats all for now i guess. Havent sang or anything in a really long time. need to do that.

Meditations in Bells

i hallucinate a pulse in the dark void, centered into my chest/it expands, bursts then explodes/ then all over again/ i feel the reaper separate skin from skeleton/ i feel ready/ i venture into the wormhole/ there is no true you/ you are spectral demands from your 5th grade imagination/ pre-birth sweat fuels into my veins/ i record the womb in transition...

quick ascend/ heavy light/ follow suite/ and let the opening/ tear itself wide open

the world away in slinders/ like it in cheeks/ of the steploves of stepdaughters///// first of the body, then of the mind. a revolution in the mind

i hang onto yer hairs/ until it untangles into a supernova/ you arouse the devil heart/ arms of leisure/ feel me/ give me sweet esctacy//

fell alone in a sleep dreamt on nonsense//hearing splinted memories of love past

i wipe out/ and it feels good/ absolute

Last Days EP

Hello, here's a 4 song EP. Written in the week before I leave. Ambient drone guitar songs. Drenched in reverb and delay. I particularly like this EP, its washed out but full. Its got a warm liquid sound to it. Like what it would sound like if we recorded inside the womb.

When One Thing Ends EP

Hello Here's a a five song EP of ambient post rock guitar music. I made it last week. Each song was written and recorded at night before I went to bed. Late night drone music. This will probable be my last guitar dirven track, everything else from now on will be vocal based.

Thanks

Spiritif Records

hello world
so..Spiritif Records will be my new way of releasing and publishing things that i like, whether I made it or not. It may be music, movies or comics. I dont know yet.

I've drawn alot of comics over the months and im planning on scanning a bunch of them. They'll be called Spiritifs. The actual small comic strips are called spiritifs.

As for recording, throughout this whole week, ill be writting and recording ambient peices every night before I sleep. They'll be compiled into EPs and such.

Also, I've been making CD-Rs. Drawing the artwork by hand and all that, making it look like a real record and all. I'll be scanning those and of course they'll be available online for free. I havent figured out a way to mass produce those CD-Rs yet, and plus i dont really have the funds. And, well, I need people to start recognizing my music. Strangers, people i dont know.

Waterdance

Acapella ambient drone.

The lost recordings of an old Haiwaiin mourning chant. Sung after the death of one of the tribe members. Laydened with reverb and tape scuzz. The chant is used to usher in the soul of the departed into the sea of souls.

Desert Soul, Rising Sun

So heres the deal. Im going over to Sydney at the end of january to do a bachelor of fine arts. Im not bringing a guitar or any instruments, but I still wanna be playing and/or writing music. So heres what im bringing over to sydney: loop pedal, delay pedal and delay/reverb pedal with a mic and a couple of wires. What im planning on doing is playing some open mic nights, as many as i can. After a while, id like to play regularly....So basically, everything will be vocal based. Only vocals....beats and melodies. Ive already written a couple of loops that i think sound pretty solid. I thought it would be a total disaster without my guitar, since I was kinda planning on doing only instrumental stuff live, but the vocal thing is turing out great.

I re-wrote the song Give Me Some Of Your Lovin' into a vocal peice, and now its a completely new song. The reverb and dealy give it a really spacious sound. While jamming once, my brother said it sounded like a tribal african choir in a huge cathedral. I liked that. So this has given new motivation.

Anyways, here's a sample of what it might sound like, although this pretty rough, and recording program was shit (still using audacity). Its all improvised, it added a bit of percussion afterwards. For now, im calling it Desert Soul, Rising Sun. Ive got this middle eastern desert soul thing going on with this.

Thanks and good love
