Tyto alba - Learning Our Language

So. I haven’t posted any new original music up here in a while.

SORRY.

I’ve been busy OK? Law School. Volunteering. Working out. Drinking. Starcraft. Drinking while playing Starcraft. Protesting. Boxing. Stress induced celibacy. Chain smoking. You know… Life man.

Anywho. Here’s something I’ve been working on against all my doctor’s orders. It’s not finished (nothing ever seems to be finished) but I like it a lot. Please try to find a moment to listen? If you find that moment, please find another to let me know what you think? Reblogs = hugz, kisses and sexy pics in your ask box.

PREEMPTIVE THANKS!

I really like this Scott! First came the toe tap, then the head nod, then full-fledged wanting to dance.

Why thank you!

So happy to bring a little dancing into the world.

Tyto alba - 90 Miles

so a few days ago i went to a charming little Cuban restaurant with Dennis on Armitage called 90 miles. i was entranced by the little clave rhythms clanging through the summer air and came home to immeadiately work on a song poorly imitating such a rhythm. attentive readers might remember this.

anyways, for anyone who was curious this is the product of about 3 hours of musical labor. it’s really sloppy and rough around the edges but i think i grope at the idea of Cuban car chase in the 70s pretty well. go team.

Tyto alba - Brought Back

holy hell. finally got this track into a presentable preview version of itself. there is waaaaaaay too much nonsense minutia in this song that i tried to fuss and fidget over.

GOTTA LEARN TO SIMPLIFY MAN.

anyways! i need:

• a sandwich
• an editor / producer
• a girlfriend

in that order.

anyways. let me know if y’all enjoy this. it’s not perfect but i think there’s something there worth pursuing.

Tyto alba - essential

this still needs work but i admit i have a fondness for this little ditty.

hope you enjoy listening to it as much as i enjoyed writing it.

tyto alba - feynman

so.

after finishing a long overdue letter to my friend in Zambia earlier, i came home and felt possessed to just sit down and write a goofy piece of electronic music. the above file is the fruit of about 4 hours of my labor, massive amounts of caffeine and a few cigarettes.

i really enjoy these little exercises and, barring protest from my followers, i’m going to continue sharing them here under the alias tyto alba. as always, feedback is welcome. 

(all content was composed by myself with the exception of the Feyman sample.)

sufjan stevens - barn owl, night killer

i miss wisconsin so bad right now. i am also drunk, and had a bad day. but i miss wisconsin really badly and i wish it were warmer so i could justify getting on a bus and sleeping on a couch this weekend. miss u.

arguably the best part of this song is the last 15 seconds.

Found out you cheated me
I ran behind the barn and cut my hand somehow
Blood in the meadow lark
I punched your ears instead
I punched you in the head
You only laughed and laughed and laughed
How I was wrong, tingling from the kill
You tickle me until
You devil bird, you evil still
I slept on my arms, sleeping on the sill
I was sleeping in the room with you
You little boy, you little boy

You said you’d wait for me
Down by the tannery creek
Far out by the clothesline
Where we used to kiss behind the sheets
Wrapped in a blanket of red
The owl and the tanager sat
The owl and the tanager said
One waits until the hour is death

well this is new.
