Download for your pleasure: the "Slumber" Mini-Album
The divinely talented Derek Ecklund, impresario of long-time Oregon group Mesmer, has collaborated with me recently. We played at "The Language of Slumber" event at the Enteractive Language Festival in Portland, and at the Dark Arts Festival/AVA fundraiser in Astoria.
"Slumber" was recorded at Mesmer's studio in Astoria (the town is largely the subject matter for my lyric-making. And hey, I'm about to move there, at least part-time). There's a little something for everyone on there, assuming "everyone" is a spaced out ethereal opiate-dreaming poet. As usual, this is live & improvised, unmastered, (and long & uncut!). It works best to listen to all the songs in one go, in the order below:
Columbia Mouth • Alpha Waves I • The Sea (Pt One) • The Sea (Pt Two)
The Lighthouse • The Nursery • Longboat • Picture
