about

Animoog synthpop. Audio recorded on Voice Memo app on iPad Pro.

lyrics

This is the thrilling oscilloscope scene.
Robots are pretending they will not be mean.
But we know the reason we gleam,
it's unseemly beyond the edge of the seam.
Green in between.

The aliens are here.
We gave them a test.
They failed it worse than
one might fear.

I am walking through
the mirror again,
following you.

It's time to see:
who wants to remain a mystery?
Who wants to be unsolved,
unresolved?
Who wants to be mystery?
I lean back into a tree.

I was on an island,
eyeballing a UPC.
If you keep calling and keep dialing,
you'll see me be.
You might see me falling
from a tree, darling.
But don't worry.
I can bounce back
right up into my calling.

My parachute is very precious.
It's a new salute
for every ferris wheel
that goes along,
trying to steal
someone else's song!

That's creepy in the house.
Not even a rat or a mouse
wants to be in this house.
What happened?
How did your blouse
catch fire over by the well?
So much water, I thought could tell
that would not happen.

At age 6, I was changing speeds on reel to reel tape recorders & thus was born an electronic musician, Str8 Sounds, on physical synthesizers, digital loops, samples, online instruments, field recordings, slide whistles, harmonicas, etc.

Gave Andy Warhol a tape of my music, NYC 1986.
