Fear Itself - CitizenMofo

Description : I wanted to create a political music video about the surveillance of US citizens by the gov't. The words are FDR's from his First Inaugural Address. All the loops are from this site, gathered over years, forgotten, refound, manipulated in a thousand ways, and voila. You can see the video on youtube under Citizen Mofo.

Thank you, sir! An oldie and a weirdie. Funny, I didn't really know what I was doing back then (and still likely don't) so I think I stacked everything up right in the middle back then, just a big stack of sound in the center. Now I spread things out. Anyway, I guess this was me being influenced by dubstep.

Hm, I just noticed a little cache of comments on this song from 4 years ago that I must have missed, or something... Thank you for listening to my weird thing!

Thanks, man. Missed your comment the first time around 4 years ago. And what a strange 4 years it's been. The NSA stuff is still going on of course, but no one's paying attention anymore since there's bigger craziness to rubberneck. If only music could change the world...

Description : I wanted to create something dark and romantic with an RnB and retro wave touch. This song has a retro futurism feel to it. I was inspired by The Weeknd when I was writing this song, especially his first mixtape, House Of Balloons, hence the deep roamntic analogies in the songwriting. I have sung this song myself and produced it too. No AI used here. This is an old song.

Description : For sure my biggest Industrial rock project this year, and it's finally finished. Man, I had a whale of a good time producing this. If you like metal and energy, hopefully this hits home.
