Ghostships from D.R.A. 122: Hansi



Yes, we did record 121 too, I I just uploaded a song from it and then changed the track-listings around since they were both finished the same day.

This one's unique. It's based (one of two off this album) which are based on diana coming up with a consistent, repeating cello melody that I played around and later mixed down in post. The album art's posted above and it's named after my dog from when I was a little kid (the album, Hansi, not the song, Ghost Ships).

winter's gone, but here's a song called winter




off of an album called winter too. it's one of the longer records, each song clocking in over 20 minutes (it's 45 or something total) and, uh I really like it. It's from a few albums back now, but I hope you like it too.
Song and album art are posted above.

UNDERTOE, NEW COMPILATION





Two years ago I started an experiment named after a Bukowski Poem (The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over The Hills) wherein I would record at least four songs a week. Since then I've recorded over 120 Full Length (defined by me as a collection of songs over a half hour) albums of droney ambient and post-rock. As of late, half of the songs have become more of a collaborative effort between me and my bandmate Diana Palermo who plays cello, violin and sings. There are even a few tracks with lyrics (and if you want them you'll have to ask. I didn't include them in the album).


The album art is a hand woven weaving by my friend Betty Lertdarapong. You can follow her and her work (if she updates it) here: http://bettylert.blogspot.com/

Days Run Away 120: Violence

Since it's shitty out I've decided to take the time out to upload a few of our most recent albums. Posted above is the album art and the third song from the album Days Run Away CXX: Violence. The songs are based initially out of a cover of the Violent Femmes song 'Used To Be'. The first track off the album is the more direct cover of the song and the others are

Voices Carry: A Til Tuesday Cover





Now both Diana and I are huge Til Tuesday/Aimee Mann Fans. Though It doesn't show in our music so bluntly (I had earlier done something of a pseudo cover of Aimee Mann's Wise Up), we decided we'd pay homage in a muffled out version of Til Tuesday's classic Voices Carry. Problem turned out to be that the punchiness of the song didn't translate aesthetically as well as I had hopped. However, after some filter/reverb, I'm pretty happy with the song. So here you go. See if you can pull it out of the muck (pretty muck).

DARK PALOMINO & TEN HORSES






Posted Above the second & third song off of album 119 (Days Run Away CXIX Palomino) Dark Palomino & Ten Horses. Live improv set, me on keys, thumb harp, sample, vocals & clarinet and Diana on Cello and Vocals.
the album is finished and I've really got to keep up with posting. Just incase, there's two. The album art is also posted above.

HAIL (THREE BODY STRIKE): New Song The Dark Night Of The Scarecrow




One of the first dark ambient tracks I've done in a while. Most of it's live, just cut down and overlapped somewhere in the middle. Aside from that + a bit of reverb, really very little post-production. It's getting warmer out. Help.
Album art posted above the song.

I'm hermetic and I record a lot of music! Alrighty, the songs are posted above and, as I said before, you can download slowarm by going here: http://www.mediafire.com/?voui4yzjtnz Songs are posted above. Also, posted above is the artwork of my friend Betty Lertdarapong. I'm going to use one of her pieces for my next compilation which I'm very very slowly putting together. I keep getting to busy to keep up with 'em.
