FEELS BAD, SOUNDS BAD Wanted to put all my most horrible feelings in a song that sounds bad on purpose. Initially this track was just "Sometimes," the second part, but then I wrote "Still Raging" in a morning and thought it would be a good (also bad-sounding, but in a different way) intro. Lots of new stuff for me here, musically: hugely distorted bass, atonal keyboards, a whole song written almos...

Post-rock instrumental, guitars, bass, programmed drums. Starts soft, becomes louder.

A song about the ways living in poverty can make you feel burdensome. file under: sad trans girl shit

No posts for all of september? Who's running this sorry crew? As punishment, here's Edmund Yellerston. Inspired by this comic by this miserable Kank , whether he likes it or not. Let this be a lesson to y'all. If you're not posting dumb songs on mefimusic, you're letting us all down. Like as a community. lurks: There goes Edmund Yellerston. 6foot8, I tell ya, son. Whip that heat at anyone. You'll...

At best, it's such a fetching mess. Think I dialed in the punk correctly against the jazz. Maybe just smashed the console. Don't mean to double dip this month, but I think this one has been worked over enough that I can't add anything. If the last one had weedy bass, this one wags the dog. As always, constructive mixing notes are welcome. I've got a quarter for the psychopomp and the smoke is pour...

A 7-string solo guitar arrangement of a badass harp tune by Joanna Newsom This one is at least six years in the making, and even longer in imagining doing it. I almost got the arrangement to work in two other tunings before finding that I could play all the notes in AEADF#AE, albeit with some of them taken down an octave. Shout out to my pal Bolo for the expert mix.

Bashy garage rock inspired by a microscopic image of butterfly wings and "This Is How You Lose the Time War," by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. And romantic frustration, obviously. oh. All the guitars were recorded on an acoustic and then treated digitally because of circumstances. And I think they came out pretty damn good. Because I 'm not supposed to want you and I'm not supposed to call. No...

Dreampop demo. Put your shades on, hon. Going from a page in a notebook to a real song in three hours is magical, isn't it? I wrote the lyrics and suggested chord progressions and synth patches for this, but make no mistake, the performer (currently going by Cy Reign) is the songwriter.

In honor of the late Sonny Rollins, here are a few choruses of saxophone improvisation over the chord changes to one of his most famous tunes. Bass provided by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrkRWMvaoi0 (MrSunnybass) Sonny Rollins is one of my musical role models and finding out this morning about his recent passing hit me harder than I expected this sort of thing ever would. I ended up devoting...

DJ CYLINDER WANTS TO SEE YOU WRITHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Johnny Kidd meets Underworld north of watford junction i heard Johnny Kidd and the Pirates , Casting my Spell - and the vocals reminded me of carl hyde / underworld, so for fun ... born piratey lol

For Shakespeare's birthday, a song from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Lyrics: probably Shakespeare Arrangement, vocals and a small amount of dodgy piano: me Ye spotted snakes with double tongue, Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen, Newts and blindworms, do no wrong, Come not near our Fairy Queen. Philomel, with melody Sing in our sweet lullaby. Lulla, lulla, lullaby. Weaving spiders, come not here: Hence,...

been working on this all day. short and sweet banger/soother combination like a taco bell/cookout. y'all ever see one of those? ACTUALLY unholy. have a great night

This is a cover of the classic Sammy Fain tune done in a sort of synth bossa nova style with saxophone handling the melody This came about kind of by accident: I am currently working on a tune using the Alice In Wonderland chords changes and I had it up on my computer while I was practicing my saxophone so I decided to just record a chorus of the standard melody over my WIP track because why not?...

the post about Joy Division Transmission on the blue reminded me i made this a year or so ago .. neither a cover or interpolation - i just stole the line and made some vibey noise around it ... :) 70's crowd concert soundtrack version (YouTube link)

For my 75th song, I picked one I wrote like 20 years ago. Psycho-folk song about rejecting mass media and embracing local community. Seems more relevant now than ever, and certainly a bit of a love song to this particular community, which has never gone the way of algorithmic walled-garden nor AIslop. Inspired by the title Cobain originally gave Radio Friendly Unit Shifter . Lyrics in fold. Though...

My arrangement of the tracks Let X = X and It Tango from Laurie Anderson's 1982 album Big Science.

Pretty much just me being sad and angry on a saxophone for a few minutes

A little song about Prediction Markets.

and here is the last track of instrumental indiscretions

more incessant jamminess

Meandering electronics Modular explorations bringing together three instruments: a mannequins Eurorack synth on lead, a Make Noise Strega on pads, and a Serge modular for intermittent percussive sounds.

long weird spacey jamming instrumental

This is a data sonification of the amount of energy absorbed by the world's oceans between 1980 and 1989. For a given three-month period, if more energy was absorbed, the chord being played is denser and sparser if less was absorbed. The pitches are selected from the 11-limit tonality diamond. There's more about it in the "Info" section on the web piece , which plays 1970-2025, and on the Bandcamp...

It's like a movie soundtrack or something to listen to while meditating. 1. I had a deep need to make something sweet and innocent. 2. I wanted it to sound something like what Mark Mothersbaugh did in Life Aquatic. 3. In my imagination, it's two little space traveling beep boop robots encountering the mystery of life on Earth. Enjoy!
