don’t know what i was thinking
These are some pics from Tooantuh’s first show. I can no longer define Tooantuh as a one man group, it is now a three-piece: Myself, Stevie, and John C. I don’t know how permanent this set up is but they were wonderful on Sunday. Great guys, and wonderful musicians. I wish I had more pics of them but, sadly, none of them have been uploaded if they do in fact exist, and my girlfriend took these. So, naturally I was more inclined to show up in her pictures, which is unfortunate because there’s no way I can thank these boys.
It’s just a few GPOYs right now :p. Also, I think there was video capture of our first 2 songs on a really great camera, so I’m just waiting for those to be uploaded on to the interwebz to share with everyone.
Tonight!!
Probable set list for Sunday
Solo Acoustic:
Ragnarok Blues
Hey L’il Lady
With Band:
Spyglass
El Gusto es Mio
Lost on Level 5
The world’s nicest guy, John Chance will kill it on drums
and
My great pal Stevie will ooze melodic bass.
Collectively two hours of full group practice and we’re already there! Love it.
Smooth sailin’.
Also. Had no idea this would happen, but these songs are completely different. In a peculiar, pleasant way. I’ve only played live acoustic stuff, aside from playing bass in a band when I was in high school, so the addition of multiple live instruments has acted as a catalyst for a few of these songs to fully bloom. I think I’d be emotional about it if I wasn’t so hungover.
So, ummm, I wish all of you could be there this Sunday, and be on the lookout for the possible live footage of this historic moment in the Tooantuh timeline.
Programming the loop pedal
For Sunday’s show. It’s tedious work for a white boy with rhythm, but a small price to pay for a full sound. Sunday is coming too soon

My twin sister is coming home from California this summer. I have to go visit her before she comes home.
I took another stab at this tune, trying to dumb down all that useless reverb. However, I need a new microphone. this 8 year old decrepit MXL is petering out on me :(. Also, I have no children, I’m not dead, I don’t think, and I don’t live next to a cemetery. But, yeah, I am able to eat because the the earth gets rich off our flesh. fucking sue me.
The Cemetery
Up here in the red wood trees—are—Carbon casings of time’s relief.
Prose as old as the day, then it withers away
Up here in the crib death, Stones cape the horizon’s breath Of the Moon and the Sun
Over my body’s home and my lover and son.
Own a universe inside of me, Bought a universe outside of me
Both coughing up smoke
From the slums in my lungs to the mote around my throat
This Chimney is falling up—Into birds
Off Course—Into the Earth,
I feast, up here in the redwood trees
In The Cemetery, Stones cape the horizon’s breath Of the Moon and the Sun
Over my body’s home and my lover and son.
TOOANTUH! IS!
playing a show on the 20th. Recruited a bassist-drummer-potential keyboardist. This will BE interesting… WISH ME LUCK!
And there will more than likely be footage. Nervous
I have absolutely no clue what kind of sound I’m going to get out Ableton Live…. but we’re about to find out

Remixing this song for Poonum has been a chore. This is just the part of the first experiment. No sure if it’s working, but still it’s just the introduction. the song is 5+ minutes
Poonum album cover. Just 3 songs away :0

My narcissistic demon is so proud that I made top comment for the first time on the youtubes. Plus! Isn’t it amazing that every planet has a song they sing? And that we’ve figured out how to decode that song making it audible for the human ear? Brilliant.
