didn't think it'd all turn out like this the strangest feeling field is narrowing, turning black give up control of this stomach burning and I can't recall can't remember anything at all something turning out my insides churning up a consuming roar unfolding from the air she hears me as I breathe tranfixed her motion overwhelming all I see
2.
do you want to borrow my genie? I really have all that I want there's no rule that you can't wish for all the wishes that you want do you want to borrow my genie? contentment's such a boring way now that I have all that I want I want to give it all away oooh, it didn't turn out the way I planned with this blue genie in my hand it didn't turn out the way I planned it's not so good to have it all it didn't turn out the way I planned the genie sets you up to fall

this mask hides my face from the sunlight this mask hides my mind from the herd in the light i'm casting my shadow in the open awaiting his word ohhh . . . I been waiting so long for this day ohhh . . . I been working so long give the order I'll crush him in seconds snuff him out with that terrible word ohhh . . . I don't care what they say to me now ohhh . . . I it's taking too long

oh it's been raining so much enough to bleed the canvas the traveler so weary searching for a place to rest oh this umbrella's useless as if I never had it I put the miles under how long have I been at it? wandering for days without a clue probably wandering in circles, yeah what's the red cloaked girl gonna do probably wandering in circles

Bad Seed 02:59
i've got a kick in my step for everyone you can tell by the sideways look I'm up to no good downtown with a teddy bear head on a stick I'm not messing around yellow eyes and a crooked grin for everyone you can tell by the funny hat I'm up to no good I'm not messing around I'm gonna break some glass gonna punch a cop Litter on the street can't make me stop I'm not complicated I'm not complicated I'm just a bad seed unmitigated just want to have some fun that's why I'm hunted unrelenting they got me on the run
6.
Cotton Candy 01:50
well i'll be damned that tree's made of cotton candy or are my eyes just tricking me i think i'll just keep chewing on my gum cause this thing don't seem right to me it don't seem right -- it's wrong!

about

This album was written and recorded in an 8 hour day session and produced in about 4 hours the same night.

The art is by Debbie Jue (www.debbiejue.com). Right now I'm using her pieces as a muse for my immersion songwriting, so each song is linked to the picture that inspired it -- make sure to look!

All the noises are 4 string bass, vocals/beatboxing, found percussion (saw blades, buckets, bottles, mason jars, cake knives, etc.) and a rusty old bass drum. Twisted Torus is a live looping act, and I also record by using just two tracks in a Digitech stereo looper.

I write with the Interroclef Lodge of the Immersion Composition Society (www.ics-hub.org).
