Whale Procession

Besides finding myself in disbelief from the amount of trauma that BP oil has brought into our ecosystem, I've been attempting to use my music as an aid to my overall frustration within this devastation.

In turn, I've been using several aquatic animal samples within my recent shows and have been thinking about using this track as part of a release themed around our potential man-made apocalypse from BP oil

................... as our sea slowly turns to black.

Last Days of Man

Last Days of Man by swimignorantfire

Its inside you,

This baby will soon die in its mothers arms.
Softly squeezing
A Gentle Homicide -
Shadows inside the skirt of death
Teasing and eating you out
Embolism following
A bubble straight to her heart.

Easter

I was asked by my friend Jeremy Armstrong to be a part of his collaborative BoKnows remix album - in which all participating artists will layer over an initial loop from his demo, and then those layers are sent to be remixed and placed accordingly by the engineer of the overall album. Here's the song I chose to use; including all layers and the initial loop from the first track of this "loop" demo given to the collaborative artists.

BoKnows collab rough draft by swimignorantfire

With the transmission of my car pooping out, I have been reconfiguring/minimizing my set up to make it more bike friendly for shows this summer. Here's an idea I recorded by just using my Line6 DD4, Boss RC-20XL, and Guitar.

Within The Body

Here's some coverage from a recent art show I played a couple weeks ago.

The Child City

In Austin, Texas I had the opportunity to play a Moose Lodge and was given the history of the Moose community and so forth. The Moose Community has two places where a majority of their funds are sent to: Moose Heart and Moose Haven. Moose Haven is a place in Florida where Moose members may go for their retirement. Moose Heart is rural town in Illinois about 45 minutes away from the city that is completely devoted to raising orphan children and giving them broader opportunities that they might not have ever had. I have been shooting a documentary about this town since I have returned from tour and am looking to screening this at the end of my semester. This is a picture of the Documentary Crew and Kurt Wehrmeister (Public Affairs) on our last day of shooting last week. Kurt was a god send and a huge help for this documentary.
