Making an afternoon coffee is a ritual worth celebrating - put on some ambient drone, grind your own beans, and bask in the glorious aroma. Pro tip for non-purists: brown sugar.

The photo is of a burning door in the middle of the desert, out at The Cliff, along Highway 98 in Southern California. We burned quite a few things out there back in the day. Maybe not something I should admit on the internet.

Recorded in GarageBand with a Firehawk FX effects unit for the guitar. Ultimately I switched to Logic for the final processing (no plugins for GB), but that was all the gear - a Fender Strat, an Ibanez bass, the Firehawk, and just wanting to put something out there.

While it's not blue moon weed, this dwarf chicory has been catching our attention all over the neighborhood. Nice little end of summer pop of color.

In waning summer light, things go a bit out of focus walking the neighborhood at sunset. Yeah, I had a whiskey (bourbon). It was Friday night!

Today I'm letting these unruly one-hour versions of songs on The Fecund Wood into the wild. PWYW on Bandcamp (encouraging free - they are free on YouTube!) for nine hours of music. Enjoy your time in the woods!

Today's the day - The Fecund Wood is out now just about everywhere! Dense, meandering ambient songs created using only VCV Rack (well, okay, one track has a field recording). Links to follow in replies.

Been awhile since I posted this little guy. This is Ygra, Eater of All. Amazing how different times of day, atmospheric conditions, and lighting can change the color of a subject. These photos are all within about 10 feet of each other - same cat, but different times of day.

I am not a poet
sitting at a comfortable table,
eating guacamole and sipping gin;
I am not an imposter
typing nonsense on a brightly lit screen,
monitoring death’s approach on my family.

I took this photo long ago of I can't remember what. Found it again today and thought, ooh nice that would make a good cover. Alas, the photo is quite low resolution. Circa 2003, which means it was a Sony Cybershot camera. Should I use it anyway?

More scenery from the Oregon coast - not sure exactly where this is, probably near Port Orford. There're lots of places with "devil" in the name - are these "The Devil's Sand Dunes"?
