Episode 022: To Obtain Duck Sauce - An Essay

Let's dive back into the absurd again, with another piece pertaining to ducks. This time, it's an essay, "To Obtain Duck Sauce," which oddly enough isn't my only food/animal hybrid piece, but it is the work I read for you this work. So, leave the world behind for a few minutes and enjoy something out of left field.

Episode 021: Blue.

Miles Davis plays right into my soul. His work was the inspiration for the theme music for this podcast. This week's poem, "Blue." is something of an ode to his work, probably even composed or at least dreamt up while listening to "Kind of Blue." If you haven't listened to any  of his work, fire up your music service of choice and dig out his music. Especially if you like my musical homage that greets you and takes you through this podcast each week.

Episode 020: Cymbal and Drum - Metronaut

These two poems go together quite well, I think, so for this week I offer you another Twofer: "Cymbal and Drum" and "Metronaut," both inspired by my time spent commuting in and out of Washington, D.C. on the Metro System. Though these take a slightly different tack than did "Ecologies of Scale," heard in a previous episode but inspired by that same commute. I also experimented a little with some audio editing underneath "Metronaut," curious to hear if you think it worked, maybe I'll get fancy again in the future.

Episode 019: Opera Bio and Sonic Vintage of the Fourth Formant

Here's a couple of items -- yes you get a 2fer this week! -- that will hopefully be very funny to a select segment of the population, and hopefully enjoyable for the rest of you out there who choose to spend 5 minutes a week with me in your ear. "Opera Bio" began as a joke when a friend and performer in one of the opera production I created the program for had yet to turn in his cast bio. The result is what I jokingly threatened to insert in its place. Trolling at its finest. The person in question is a great guy. You know who you are! "Sonic Vintage of the Fourth Formant" is what happens when an explanation classical singing collides with my damaged imagination.
