years ago my sister sent me this improvised a capella song about butts via facebook messenger (we've been exchanging puerile songs since childhood) so i made a quick casiocore prog rock tune out of it.

shared this years ago on the birdsite but my sis requested a repost so here ya go.

not Catholic but the Catholic church puts their money where their mouth is re: charity. in some areas they operate the *only* hospitals/orphanages.

for the last few months I've been working on my own animation program. it pulls MIDI data from my DAW that i can hook into all sorts of parameters. it's nice when a program ONLY does the things I need it to. >: )

Push and Remember Me (both RedStryke tunes) were the only songs produced for the (regrettably named) Flip-Flop microgenre, built around the idiosyncratic sound of the onboard pcm drum machine/sampler & digital fx of a made-up portable 4-track recorder called the Bellsound PTRS-1200 (...)
