The Island of Sleeping Chickens

Copyright © 2003 Haunted Ink/TuneCore

Now available at eMusic, Amazon.com, and iTunes

This is the first album I've released under my own name. It is a concept album, in that the title of the album came to me before I'd created any of the tracks. I've long been fascinated by chickens, especially their amazing ability to sleep in close quarters, nestling and snuggling against one another for warmth. Listen to this album as if you were on a mysterious island populated entirely by chickens who live only to stay warm, to keep out of the rain, and to dream of eggs, roads, and dust baths. For a limited time, I am making this album available to download for free. I hope you find the music worth your time.

Track Listing

1. Rain
2. Coop
3. Nesting
4. The Road
5. Crossing
6. The Other Side
7. Cat Food
8. Ford
9. Bath
10. Morning
11. Egg

Pocket Monkey

The cover photograph was taken by my wife, Caroline Krejci, while we were visiting the famous sand dunes in Imperial County, California (near Glamis). The track marks you see in the foreground are the result of rather annoying ATV worshippers, who have turned this stretch of beautiful desert into their own private playground.

This is an album of fun, happy little tunes that I enjoyed creating and that I hope you enjoy listening to. It’s currently out of print, but you can download "Bamako" right now.

AC

Copyright © 2000 Haunted Ink Records

AC is a 24-track, 48 minute long CD inspired by a work-in-progress novel I've been working on for a few years. The novel deals with a future, post-ecological disaster world where most people live underground, in mountains. In order to stay sane, various devices have been invented to simulate the sounds, smells, and tastes of the (now dead) natural world. Hence, everyone lives in pitch-dark caves, but no one cares because AC (sort of a transformed notion of air conditioning, where it doesn't simply cool the air but conditions it to suit a person's particular taste) and earwigs (inplants that reprogram sensory information to emulate anything one can desire) act as perfectly acceptable substitutes.

That's the novel's main idea, at any rate. Unfortunately, since I've been writing so many other things for so many other places, I haven't had much of a chance to work on this novel. Hence, right now, this CD is about as close as I'll get to exploring some of the ideas I put together for this novel. The track "Sound+Weight+Smell" is available free to download and enjoy.

Me

Copyright © 1999 Haunted Ink Records

One day I met a box, and the box talked to me. It told me to push buttons, but when I did nothing happened. "Push another button and it'll all make sense," it said. So I pushed another button and the box disappeared. I was all alone in a field of radishes. It was sunny and warm. I was wearing a Butthole Surfers t-shirt. I didn't know what to do, so I waited. Eventually a bunny hopped up to me and said, "You're too late. The box is finished." When the bunny left, I started walking back the way I came. I never heard from the box again.
