about

Bird Patch - The first night I had this synth, I feverishly twisted knobs and plugged in patches until the wee hours. I had to let this bird fly around in my head a couple of days before I could trap it in the studio.

The Liquor of Being - This title was lifted from Cormac McCarthy's THE PASSENGER and STELLA MARIS. I don't remember the context, but thinking "this would make a good Museumgoer title." and then the old man died. That's punctuation!

Real Gamblers Play the Hands They're Dealt - One day, I will have an easy listening lounge music band that will play this kind of 70s Italian B-movie pseudo-bossa-nova at a motel bar every Wednesday and I will be so happy.

Welcome to Our M-Class Planet - In Star Trek, planets suitable for human life are called "M-Class planets." I quit obsessively watching Star Trek, but put it on recently and they welcomed me to beam right back in.

Downward Scarecrow - Awash in the din of insects in my uncle's cornfield, I thought "this would be a perfect place to do yoga*. and assumed the tree pose. When I looked up, there was a concerned deer paused ahead of me, wondering what I was doing.

* Readers of these and other Museumgoer liner notes might think I am some kind of yoga fanatic. In full disclosure, I have not done yoga since the Y quit offering it, as covered in Museumgoer 21.
