ClearSky 07:32
It's magnificent. It is so white, it it...take a picture! You have to hurry! Someone tell me what it's worth the plants alone on this ship. Well I took a picture of whatever this clear deal is. Clear sky. Nice, open, light, plants and staircase that's not carpeted. Ah the colors, just absolutely gorgeous. The most elegant thing I've ever seen in my life. Also...I could fall in love right in there. Lovely, large, beauty shot. Now we're in, truly. It is something of...I guess bewilderment and we're all anxious to see it. Wooden decks. This would be a beautiful picture right here. This shot would get a lot. Also...I could fall in love right in there. Beautiful colors in here. Pinks and greens and blues it's just beautiful. Aw the colors, just absolutely gorgeous. Clear sky. Nice, open, light, plants and staircase that's not carpeted.

Salisbury. Eureka Springs. Eureka. It gets too cold down there They get snowed in so he goes and gets 'em Brings 'em up here so he can get 'em in and out That town lay on a hill doesn't it. I lost ya! Oh you did, almost. I'll be right there. Lots of music Oh they got all kinds of music over in there. Up in Missouri. Now it it...there's not much to that That's almost all there are to it. They play a little bit different. You're right, you're right. You're right as rain. You can play, and enjoy it and you get it up to where you can play it your best. Then... you need to play it for someone. Somebody should appreciate it, ya know? Good old music. This one - this part is a good part. Got a little better tempo than this rock. That rock all it is just beat Hard rock it just 1-2-3-4 Fast as you can go Loud as you can get it Just as loud as you can get it. And get on piano and do the same damn things. It did remind me of the double eagle Really? Right It did him too didn't it.

Outlook 05:50
Now, I like to look at our defects of character. And I like that word: defects of character. Then we're gonna find these attitudes have affected other people. And a character, you know, is made up of these qualities of life: resentment, fear, sex, all these things are necessary. And I see the defect as the over-development of certain areas of our character. Then we should have cleaned up the major areas of our life And I have a little computer up here- and it has a little tape of some past experiences in my life it's not too very long that my little tape becomes... it it runs out. The only way you come down on fear is growing courage. Fear comes from my wanting to travel on my will. We will be amazed before we are halfway through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. At the same time, you know, it's totally impossible for me to have fear which is a reaction, and courage at the same time. That's why serenity is such an evasive thing, we have to work on it constantly. So the more drive, the more resentments. It becomes a character defect. Our whole attitude and outlook upon on life will change. So there's a certain amount of resentment or resistance in life- because this is life! It's hard to, this is a natural part of life. After a while we'll find our reactions in life has changed. Talkin' about a revolutionary change. Between reacting, and bringing a little action in our lives. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. So we see the scheme of life- serenity is to bring life into some kind of balance. Sex, self-satisfaction, I don't care about your person- I'm going to satisfy myself...this could be a problem We will intuitively know how to handle situations that used to baffle us. Self-seeking will slip away. It's to enable you to find the power greater than yourself which will solve your problem. There's no vacuum in life, there's no void. When something happens we're going to have to respond in some way.

August 23, '88. Yeah we're shuttin' 'em down today. I'll be here probably 'til god all night tonight. I'll probably be here most of tomorrow. Ah just runnin' around in circles. Aw yeah. Don't know how crazy I was about that but I went. Ah! Well the Lord can take care, I sure have been praying. Aw I'll tell you what if it hadn't been for the Lord I'd been dead. I'm leaving downtown now. Yeah go on home and get my stuff. Uh, we went to see George this afternoon, and started coming that flood and we had to run and leave. Anyway...that's what happened. Yep...oh boy. They've got one of those half-price deals with aluminum foil - several deals of aluminum foil and uh, ziplocs. Nah, don't worry about that shit. Well I think she wanted it. Well, let me let you talk to her then. Okay, let me talk to her. Ah how 'bout a twelve pack. Okay. I'm gonna have to tear something down and build me a lab back there in the back somewhere. Well that sounds good, and uh you're interested in that anyway. Oh definitely, I'd rather do that than this. Oh boy (that's just the beginning)...

Ghost Track 05:37
Battlegrounds! Way down there, next to the river, on level ground. I've got a cousin that lives over west of here, not too far. Alikchi means doctor and this water is a medicine! I go down there pretty good. But comin' up is pretty hard on me. What kind of music did he play? He'd play the electric steel. Feelin' good. Yeah. Is there a Choctaw word for ghost? Ghost? Yeah... Shilup! Shilup. That's a ghost. If you say you see a ghost- turn your head and look (claps hands) it's gone! No tellin' how long ago it was. Gonna go way down in the river? You know, I don't go down to Shirly's. That's the first time I've been to Shirly's in a long time. And it starts, it don't start, and wait a little bit... and it'll start and it'll go. Oh they played all over. They even go down there at times in Texas. Do you wanna go see that? I don't know why, they didn't know why. It's all over. Nothing- you don't hear a thing. You can hear a pin drop.

Um...I'm gonna skip ahead about 14, or 15 years. Skip ahead. Um...she called her Skye. Um...was driving to work. "How are ya? Blah blah blah"...um. Was trying to figure out a way to put it all on paper in a precise and sequential manner. Very pretty, obviously. (incomprehensible yawning) This is more like...prologue. A little bit rebellious. It's going to be a romance. She... Skip ahead, um, skip ahead about 12 more years. I need to figure out what city this is going take place in I guess. It's about where I am now... okay where was I? um.

Lost Art 07:17
In fact if we have time tonight I would begin back somewhat... and bring you up to date on where we are. Our art sick. If you look in our modern art museums today it's reflecting a sick society. That is no accident. Because not only is our art sick. Not only is our literature sick. Not only are our films sick. But the next subject is also... talkin' about rock-and roll. But in more general terms we're talking really about cultural revolution. I thought it was excellent. Very famous painter's painting was upside down for 6 months before they discovered it. Five page raving review of this wonderful art. It's two feet of dirt on the floor. That's the art. Two feet of dirt, on this floor. Are we hard up or not? Modern art, or modern culture today, tells us we're insane. You go to a modern art museum today ladies and gentlemen and you can't tell if the paintings are upside down or inside out. That was last year folks, that was last year. Accepted as a piece of art: 18 plates of horse manure. In fact he told me he was throwing his artwork away. Maybe our culture is telling us the truth In modern literature, and modern art, and modern films. Now you know there is something wrong when that occurs. This was just a few months ago, this may have made the papers. She threw her paint on the plywood and she allowed the cars to go over it. But that isn't even my subject tonight. But it's an easy one to start with because there are some teenagers here. I usually start some place in that area because most teenagers aren't going to art museums.

That's going? What? Yeah I don't know D44, may it rest in peace. I bet you could even take it out if I drop it I don't want to pay for it. That's what'd be happening, better getcha coverage. Did you get coverage? The Wizard of Id. The wizard wants to eat at this restaurant. And do you have reservations? And he says, ahh something about, Well as hungry as I am I don't care what I eat. I even got a battery indicator light that tells me my batteries are good. Well y'all, believe it or not. You always say that to everyone of these you read. No, not all of 'em. Hairless Joe: The toad that came to life after being buried in concrete for 20 years. Let's see if I get you high. Hah. Yeah see if I get you high, your little buddy is jonesing I know he is. That's the last day fellas, gotta celebrate it. Yeah yeah, check check it haha. Where'd you get that thing? I dunno but a guarantee for my buck knife. He's just pissed off because he only gets ten and I get the other twenty. Let's smoke it! You came home and your aunt's going to open the newspapers. You didn't see that did ya? Back off and let him see that sticker. There's a guarantee. That's the wide angle? Big long one, it's a wide angle. It's a short one. That there is something else. How the hell does he know, there's one right there. He knows what it is. He doesn't know shit.

about

These works were lovingly curated around mostly candid, found cassette recordings of total strangers. To find these sounds I scoured secondhand tape recordings in thrift stores using a walkman. Then turned to an arsenal of vintage and modern synths, including my own hand-crafted eurorack modules you know and love. The result is expansive, melodic, and dreamy lo-fi. Downtempo indie electro: pure ear-candy bliss for your listening pleasure. Textural layers, loose and free. Stream-of-consciousness, freestyle improvisation with ambient liquid flow. Tape hiss wow and flutter, down-sampling, clicks + pops, and little happy accidents. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
