We were an awesome European mechno band for about a minute.

He wanted a song so that all the animals under the sea would know it was Christmas. My mix is first, but then he wanted to put the Zapper envelope filter on everything. So his mix is second.

Christmas Song For All The Sea Animals (Ralph’s Mixxtreme)

Christmas Song For All The Sea Animals (Hott N Sweaty Nels’ Mix)

We tried a second song, but he got belligerent. So when I said “What’s the title for this one?” He said “I’m not telling you and I know GUITAR.”

I played toy glockenspiel, and did percussion with a bottle opener. Nels played a strainer with a fork, and ran the effects. Frankly, I think he’s a little effects heavy, but OH WELL.

I tried a few times to get Sophie & Nels to participate on this one, but they weren’t very interested. So this is a solo work. It’s basically a sketch about my kids coming of age in the face of global warming, or rather, what a hot world they may be living in.

I combined an earlier recording of him on aM Labs’ Tonematrix with a fresh one I did today. Adding in some text he typed & spellchecked (leaving on default), we have ‘backspace this’.

This summer, Nelsie, Sophie, & I are participating in 5090. It’s a songwriting contest. You can read all about it, and my reaction.

This song is called Property, by Ralph & Nels Hogaboom. Just a regular jam is all.

I tried to do this song as an instrumental piece, as though it belonged in a movie soundtrack. The tapping is the water dripping out our basin faucet when I woke this morning.
