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

Update

Hello. I'm sorry for the lack of posts. But who's following this anyways? no one. I could write anything on this blog and it would do nothing to no one. Sorry, im such a downer.

More things, bigger things will be coming soon. I can feel it. With my move to Australia I feel that everything will change...for the better. The thing is though, I wont have a guitar while im there. I was thinking I might try some open mic nights with only my loop pedal and delay pedal with vocals only. It'll be different, but Im open to the challenge, I welcome change!

The truth is, I have no idea whats going to happen in the future. The truth is, im pretty scared. But im excited. This blog.....I dont know....it could be something bigger. I just need to contact more people, I need the masses to know this exists.

The whole Radio Contact thing fell through....the one peice of art/music/writing a day fell through... I promise...I promise myself, that when I get my own laptop and get to Australia that new and more beautiful things will start developing.

thanks for listening....whoever you are......
good love.

Open To Heat EP

A collection of drone/industrial/noise beats I made today. They're really rustic and rough. They sound damaged. I was trying to create a whole sound that would envelope your ears. Something that could seep pass your ears and into your brain, really scratch through your barriers. I wanted a grating, scathing noise. I've been listening to alot of Throbbing Gristle, Robert Rental and N IN's Pretty Hate Machine. Open to Heat is my attempt at an industrial sound. Hope you like it.

Scathing Lives and good love..

Some Of Your Lovin'

Hello world. Its been a while. Here's an old song from a year or so ago. I was just screwing around at the time, but now that ive listened to it after so long, i really like the sound. I think I might be going back to that acoustic sound again. But i think that kind of style only really works in the recording space, it doesnt work as well in a live setting. I think im going to start picking up that acoustic guitar more often and write new songs, but play the songs on an electric guitar in a live show. Anyways have a listen.

This is also the first time im releasing something as my new moniker: Memories

See you soon. Good love and all.
