Playalong of “You Problem (Sounds Like a)” by The Overworked Animals
I saw The Overworked Animals‘ show at the 2025 Purple Clouds event and thought they were great! I had a vision of doing a playalong of their entire set as a way of strengthening my “predict what comes next” muscles, but decided to do just one song decently instead of many songs badly. And here…

YAAS (Yet Another Ambient Set)
This came out nicely. I’ll be focusing on more-rhythmic stuff soon. Watch the skies.

Bit o’ fun looping Airplane Dragons by Passenger Princess!
Original by Passenger Princess is here. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

An AI trap accidentally revealed the future of (human) music to me
Well, it happened: I was fed an AI-generated song on YouTube and didn’t immediately clock it as AI-generated. The thumbnail was clearly not of human origin, overly detailed bits transmitting that familiar uncanny feel. Waiting for the video to load, I noticed the “artist” had only seven subscribers. Then the music started, a zydeco beat.…

Mirror of Tom Lehrer’s music
If you don’t know Tom Lehrer, you should! He was an amazing musical parodist/comic — perhaps the finest who ever lived, although (IMHO) some of the modern crop (Bo Burnham, Bill Bailey, Tim Minchin) give him a run for the money. A good starting point is his famous 1967 concert in Copenhagen, available in full…

Purple Clouds 2026
I was honoured to be part of the second Purple Clouds, a furry music festival at a swinger campground in Hude, Germany. In a very real way this was my debut; I want to talk about what it meant to me. First, the details. My main gig there was accompanying DJ WORLDWIDEWOLF on trombone and…

Introducing DJ Newhorse
Hey, gang. It’s strange that I don’t know who you are, reading this. But you’re here, so you seem to know who I am. Anyway… I’ve been making music for as long as I can remember. I took the classical path. We had a piano near the TV, so I’d play during commercials. My school…

“Nothing and Nowhere”: Song for voice & piano
Written in response to a friend’s post on FetLife — and a lifelong fascination with how our lives are affected by our bodies and how they’re seen — I wrote this song. It might be the opener for a musical that’s brewing in my head. LYRICS VERSE I From a thought in a head to a…

“No Cock Like Horse Cock” for orchestra and chorus
I think Pepper Coyote’s song “No Cock Like Horse Cock” is a goddamn yiffyfur anthem. So I orchestrated it (with Pepper’s permission) for chorus and orchestra and recorded a synthesized orchestra part. He graciously allowed me to pull together a few singers to open his NSFW show at Motor City Furry Con 2019. People loved…

A short song for voice and orchestra. Text is “Prayer to Persephone” by Edna St. Vincent Millay, from her 1921 collection “Second April”. LYRICS Be to her, Persephone, All the things I might not be; Take her head upon your knee. She that was so proud and wild, Flippant, arrogant and free, She that had…
