Stream of Conscience

A few pandemic-era demos.

Dear Reader,

Early in the pandemic my brother came to stay with us for a week. We spent most of that time in the studio we had just finished building in my basement, making tape loops. This was our sourdough starter.

Some of the tape loops we made I would use as a jumping off point for experimental projects. One was this morbid little operetta. Another was a song cycle, the working title: Stream of Conscience. The cycle itself came to naught, but it yielded a few demos of interest, one of which evolved into a song (as you’ll soon hear) featured on our record, Sympathetic Magic.
