Where topless Bs dance with me

Where topless Bs dance with me

Ambient insulationism. Vauge poppery. Brutal electro-rock. Demonic horror soundtrack audio soundscapes. Even, occasionally, Jewish folk music.

Epics. Experiments. Penguins. Flowerpots.

A writer and editor by trade but an experimental noodler at heart, Tomorrow's Man wakes daily to strike glittering sparks off the moon.

  • Tomorrow's Man - The Trial and Asylum of Peppery Penguin
Liner Notes: Reviews: 21 Tracks of spicy, Sphenisciformesic insanity, from the NIN-tinted crunch of the opening track (the controversial "EKF Sleep Repeat" - don't let the kids hear this one, folks) to the existential ambient sprawls of "Boulder," "Stark & Strain," & "Stain & Swallow" layered alongside a dozen tracks of wickedly original segues and styles ranging from Robert Rich to Rush, Tomorrow's Man has knocked one out of the igloo...." "...while there is not an obvious theme to the album, many of the titles, effects, and lyrics (there are only five non-instrumental songs) loosely hold together the strange, disturbing story of Peppery Penguin that sneaks itself here and there into the liners. Strange stuff, harsh, beautiful, warped, and stunning -- just wait'll you hear the 21-minute closer dedicated to cunnilingus."

  • Tomorrow's Man - Palimpsest
Liner Notes: Conceived, recorded, processed and mixed at Point Shirley, Crystal Cove, and the Blue Room by Tomorrow’s Man, October 2000—May 2002. “Palimpsest‿ contains elements from the film “Cube‿ c.1997 Trimark Home Entertainment. Pal·imp·sest n. A manuscript, typically of papyrus or parchment, that has been written on more than once, with the earlier writing incompletely erased and often legible. 1. Grass I (10:17) 2. Grain (31:58) 3. Palimpsest (32:47) 4. Grass II (4:15) "I began scoring the base tracks for the piece ‘Palimpsest’ in early 2000. After a few months, I had about 15 of the 30 total tracks that would go into the piece. I purposely put it all aside, but for one track. From that one track, I began building ‘Grain,’ which took its own stretch of months. After ‘Grain’ was completed, I took a separate, unique element from it and folded it back into the ‘Palimpsest’ piece. That piece grew to 21 tracks, and I once again put it aside, purposely, and began work on ‘Grass.’ Of the 11 tracks of ‘Grass,’ five consist of heavily treated vocal samples. ‘Grass’ was a much faster process. When it was finished, I took one of its elements, and once again folded it into ‘Palimpsest.’ I then began the final process, the re-working of the 'Palimpsest' piece from the ground up. I used the 22 tracks that existed, plus 8 more that I created/found/manipulated, to arrive at the final version of the piece. After all this I stripped ‘Palimpsest’ back down to a few essential atmospherics, then what I had decided would be the very first sound of the very first piece that is heard on the disc - ‘Grass I’ - and built the denouement, ‘Grass II.’ Derivative, cumulative, composite and unique...something that would have made Gestalt proud." www.tomorrowsman.com

Liner Notes: Tomorrow's Man • Sleep Music Written for and inspired by the Dustin Alexander Film ©2005 Magic Angry Mouse Music Firstly, my thanks to Astra Kim for once again drawing me at her whim into something with such complexity and emotion as I could never have conceived. Secondly, of course, a bold "Cheers" to Dustin Alexander's sidelong neurons for said aforementioned complexity and emotion; without him, I'd have had loads more sleep since my inception to the project. IRONY? ALWAYS. The music. The music. Electronics. Samples. Sounds warped and waffled, coated in warm syrup, electrified by lightning until they cried like babes, then dipped in beer batter and plunged into the deep fryer. (Such is the sound of aural agony.) It began loud...it started with the 'Lost' pieces, walls of sound that were written to collapse in on the listener's safety while our dear Ms. Oberhauser battled her viridical foes. As the story’s aura began vibrating alongside my own, I, and the music, became more insular and darkly predictive, turning quiet and staring when a blow was to strike. But this was not the blunt, obvious lull before a dizzy, torn boxer falls to a knockout; no, this soundtrack - with its samples and sounds, guitars and singing bowls and violins and haunted harmonicas and magnets clanging across my vibrantstark moonlit lake at insomniac hours - became the sonic metaphor for the look on the cat Jonesy's face in the movie "Alien" as the beast crept down from above then eviscerated Harry Dean Stanton. So, here we are, standing here with something creeping silently around this space. While it builds a hunger the music plays, these sounds of my brains channeled via Dustin Alexander's singular madness, and writing their surreal sonic diary as they are being burned into aluminum, true as any epitaph.

  • Tomorrow's Man - Man and Moon
Liner Notes: "Man and Moon" was recorded as a tonic for those nights when the sun was rising faster than I was falling; when I only had one hour to sleep, barely a nap, but I needed it to be as deep as possible. "Man and Moon," a lulling, morphing series of arpeggios, uses the addition of brainwave synchronization over the length of the 60-minute installment to take the listener from a wakeful state, all the way to REM sleep - the sleep that rebuilds you for the coming day - then back out again to full wakefulness, all in 60 minutes. I know it works for me; I hope it help gives my fellow listeners some often elusive rest that they crave. NOTE: "Man and Moon" is most effective when listened to at relatively low volume, in stereo headphones, preferably with noise reduction turned on while 37,000 feet above the ground. However, it still works quite well in the darkness of your bedroom otherwise.

Third is part right, torn to an equality in four Finally I've got all my senses, Every reason to laugh, eh? ("Did'ja eva heah da one...?") Hard to when you're all torn apart, heh heh. So... This is me, This bloody, painful heap Reduced to a pile of pulsing torn flesh... The fireflies are back. ("I'd gaze deep into your eyes,/ For certain truth and loathing;/ But, sorry, my dear,/ My spine is in the way.") I hate feeling bitten in fours. But I always do. But I always do. But I always do.

  • Tomorrow's Man - Toxicocktail
Liner Notes: Ten years is a long time to keep the demons in. The writing on this album began in November 1999, and has become larger and more complex than anything else I've attempted along the way. Since this is as good as any other forum these days to disseminate liner notes, I would like to thank about a skillionty people. I can't think of any order that makes sense, so here's this. Thanks to: Hank Kuczynski, who told me from an early age that I'm both too bald and not bald enough to be a rock star; and who might hit me if I don't put him first; Mike Hairston, who has forever provided me with amazing support and invaluable critical insight about my musical progress; Brett Holinbeck, who has done the same for my mental progress; Rahel Holinbeck, for putting up with Brett and me when we're together; Thanks to the rest of my Madison Major Arcana: Kat Davis, the Emperess; Steve Davis, the Emperor; Sloan Davis, the Star; Nate Marx, the Magician; Ryel Estes, the High Priestess; Lisa Bell, the Sun; Ned Kirby, the Hierophant; and Al Ritchie, the Tall Dude with the Hair; Thanks to Tara McMullen, for founding my poetic memory; and to Marianne Lachance and Louis Simard, who I still miss every day they grace distant France with their vitality; Thanks to Valerie Clark, for being a little bit of every reason I've learned anything in my life; Thanks to Astra Kim, for remaining my destiny; and to Dustin Sklavos, for being my slavedriving muse and most recently acquired best friend. Also, thanks to the rest of the Skeleton Crew gang, including the lovely and wonderful BJ Mortimer and the wonderful and lovely Laura Osburn; And thanks to so many others for so many reasons: Kim Marx (and Mouse) for thunderstorms and bacon; Kevin Nelson, for being my unofficial hero; Chantale Arsenault, the Visionary Goddess, for a glimpse at Pandora's box; Amy Ketchum, for being the angel behind our Nocturnal Requiem (and I pray many more to come); Carmen, Jeff, and Amy, for being creative and precocious (keep on rockin', kids); Apollo Marquez for my first chance to read in Madison in 2000 (so the rest since then is all his fault); Chris Korte for Vielspassvotze; Dean Peters for his slim fit jeans; Jessica (Red) Ingalls for being the first but not last inspiration for the scary middle of this album; Kala Snowflower because she is always; and my family back home for keeping the ocean there waiting for me, hopefully with a side of manicotti and ricotta pie. And most importantly, thanks to my lovely wife, Sarai Lenore, for her ongoing support, unbelievable patience, and amazing enchiladas. If I've left anyone out I apologize. Thank you all.

She Lets Go (exposure mix) featured on the soundtrack to the "Channel Zero" webseries. For more information visit www.skeleton-crew.net. Lyrics: I’m a drama magnet. She’s drama metal. I’m boiling water. She’s a screaming kettle. I’m violet blue. She’s suffocating. I’m screaming her name. She’s masturbating. I’m clutching straws. She’s sucking hard. I hold my chips. She plays her card. I’m burning chrome. She’s synthetic. I’m the desert sun. She’s diuretic. I tumble down. She tops from below. I reach her hand, she lets go. I’m classic writer. She’s internet whore. I’m rarity. She always needs more. I flee the storm. She laughs at thunder. I’m gasping. She holds me under. I tumble down. She tops from below. I reach her hand, she lets go. We’re pole-opposites and I’m pelted She lashes like glass and I never felt What she told me to feel, she left me to reel, a lamprey hungry for the flesh of the shark. I’m a drama magnet. She’s drama metal. I’m boiling water. She’s a screaming kettle. I’m violet blue. She’s suffocating. I scream her name. She’s fascinating. (She’s devastating.)

Liner Notes: Another in my ongrowing arsenal of songs about my favorite thing in the world, cunnilingus. (Note: It's not exactly work safe...but then again, there ain't no cussin' or nuthin', neither.) Lyrics: Go on down, go on back again; Shake her 'round, shake her up and then... Make her come -- once is nice; y'know what's fun? Make her twice. Go on down, bring her back again. We slish and we slide up and down our ride, We lick and we lap just like a kitten-kat And we ring her bell once But her buzzer's still there, why not ring it ring it ring it ring it ring it It's a lateral lunge with your tongue Take the plunge It's a flavor so unique it can only be savored Make her quiver, make her squeak As you drink up her peak Go on down, go on back again; Shake her 'round, shake her up and then... Make her come -- once is nice; y'know what's fun? Make her twice. Go on down, bring her back again. We slish and we slide up and down our ride, We lick and we lap just like a kitten-kat And we ring her bell once But her buzzer's still there, why not ring it ring it ring it ring it ring it Go on down, go on back again; Shake her 'round, shake her up and then... Make her come -- once is nice; y'know what's fun? Make her twice. Go on down, bring her up again.
