Velimir Khlebnikov


Where the Waxwings Used To Dwell


Where the waxwings used to dwell,
Where the pine trees softly swayed,
A flock of airy momentwills
Flew around and flew away.
Where the pine trees softly whooshed
Where the warblewings sang out
A flock of airy momentwills
Flew around and flew about.
In wild and shadowy disarray
Among the ghosts of bygone days,
Wheeled and tintinnabulated.
A flock of airy momentwills
A flock of airy momentwills!
You're warblewingish and beguilish,
You besot my soul like strumming,
Like a wave invade my heart!
Go on, ringing warblewings,
Long live airy momentwills!


-Velimir Khlebnikov

Recording, recording recording. A collection of russian poems entitled "The Stray Dog Cabaret" which were originally written at the turn of the 20th century. Some of my favorite pieces are by Anna Ahkmatova who wrote the titled piece featured on this page. There will be an excessive amount of piano, and hopefully I can figure out how to record percussion from all of the janky kitchenware in this creaky ass old haunted house. Oh yes.

Time Is On My Side

Posting the first demos for a humble collection of songs entitled "24 Hour Covers"
In which I learn a song in 24 hours, and try to record it as quick as I possibly can. This is the most recent track, which has become my very difficult brainchild. Mixing this track will be a feat indeed.

Enjoy!
