about

You aren't ready for this. This is all 11-ish takes used in the final cut of the recording played simultaneously. This is especially interesting considering how this song is rather flexible in rhythm, causing for some serious changes in pacing -- full 5 second intervals at times -- between the first time I say a word and the last time I sing that same word. Also, listen for the times I clap due to messing up and the time my voice cracks. And all the many, many times I say the wrong word, sentence, or entirely wrong verse. It's a nice look into my creative process and my interpretive process!

WARNING: I make a bird noise at the end.

Skye Hawaii

Skye frolics through and delves into in ev'ry metaphorical acre of the expansive, fruitful meadow of the creative arts. He's an amateur author, actor, artist, comedian, composer, film-maker, musician, playwright, singer-songwriter, and just plain ol' writer. He also likes drumming out rhythms on his thighs.

He doesn't really know what he's doing, but, needless to say, he's doing a lot of it.
