"Crocodile girl"
A song I improvised in the spot, for a friend, who lived next to a swamp for a good chunk of her life, but didn't realize until recently.
Lyrics:
Nelson LopezHere's a story of a girl that didn't know that she was a crocodile this whole time
Here's a song about this girl that didn't know, that she lived next to a swamp
And I go, to this place
And I tell her "What's going on?"
And I go, to this place
And I tell her, "What's going on?"
"What's going on?"

Who in 2001 would ever think that I'd be here logging in to my VST plugins on my new computer?
Can anyone recommend a sample manager for GNU/Linux?
Soooo, the #newAlbum is mastered, and a release date *this month* is being finalized 👀
53/2 🧵
So, in the last three months:
- I wrote and recorded 9 songs!!! (1 released, 1 secret, and 7 for this #newAlbum). That’s usually my output for a couple of years!
- And I made and released 3 music videos
- Plus I did some graphics and video tidbits for #NHAM & #TIBtv
And you know what? I’m fucking exhausted! 🫠🥄
I think I need to go back to my #slowLife for a while 😅
52/2 🧵
Well, song #7 is done. Which probably means the #newAlbum is done!
- I’m still not sure it should include my (still unreleased) fall #bonkwave track which started it all. Maybe a remixed version? 👀
- Since I’ve gone to all this trouble, I’d like the tracks to be properly mastered, and I’ve asked someone I trust to do so.
- So release is probably still weeks away, after the next bonkwave album release.
More waiting, i.e. more time to second guess everything 😅
51/2 🧵
Recorded vocals for song #7 yesterday. Got a full take that is probably as good as I can hope for on my second try.
I then added a whole bunch of instruments to the accompaniment that is very basic, and then removed them all except for one discrete bar of tuned percussion.
And today I cleaned the vocals and mixed the song, and despite a few mouth clicks that I still need to remove or attenuate, I’m happy with the result \o/
50/2 🧵
Usually, mixing is hard or easy for me, depending on the song. Song #6 was easy, i.e. I got a decent mix fast, but then I started noticing all sorts of niggly little problems, and it took me forever, maybe a dozen tries, to get mostly rid of them. Unusual.
Anyway, I’m calling Song #6 done \o/
Next job is recording vocals for song #7, pollen count permitting.
49/2 🧵
Forgot to mention that song #6 features… #ukulele. Was this a crass marketing move after my #ukuleleBonk video kinda sorta went viral on here? You have no proof 😇
