Wicked
2006-12-02 16:44:01
Download as MP3 This is Wicked . I just wrote this today.I wrote it using Reason, which I use with a MIDI keyboard (mine is a Radium Midiman 61 key keyboard.) Reason allows for multitracking into a whole virtual rack of synthesizers, drum machines, samplers and effects. The song currently has 6 parts.This is a piece extracted from about a 20 minute session of myself freestyling, jamming, improvising on each of those parts. I create a larger piece, and then edit something shorter out of it.It's a gothic instrumental piece.Copyright (c) 2005 by David TarletonAll rights reserved.You are welcome to download, share and enjoy it.

___________________ The Man Who Chewed Too Much by David Tarleton ___________________ Chapter 1 Once upon a time there was a man who could never swallow his food whole. He always had to chew each piece one hundred and thirty-four times before he would swallow it. Even soup, even milk. He was a very strange bird. So one day, as a trick, his friends connived to serve him some octopus. And not

Oxytocin
2006-08-06 19:09:01
A science fiction short story by David Tarleton Wearing a pink shawl, Grandma Mavis approaches the bus stop bench. She walks with the aid of an Autowalker, a kind of exoskeleton on her legs. ?Ooooh, my aching self,? says the old lady as she pushes the buttons that sit her down on the bench. Ker-thunk. Ker-thunk. The bus is running late. A nondescript man approaches, and sits down on the bench next to her. He pulls out a little spritzer, and sprays the old lady in the face. ?Ooooh!? she yelps with some effort. ?I?m sorry, ma?am,? says the man, leaning in to her. ?It was just an accident. My hand slipped.? ?You sprayed me!? ?Look at me. Listen to me. I?m your son, did you forget?? ?Oh? Sam. It is you. But you died.? ?No, Mom. Listen to me. I really need you to give me all your money. I?m in trouble and I won?t be able to get out of it unless you give me your wallet, Mom.? ?Of course. Sam. I was so worried.? With shaking hand, she hands him her purse. ...

She
2006-08-06 19:09:01
She waits in darkened alleyways She sees with the inner eye She preys on those who waken her And for those who just pass by. Her mind is as sharp as ever, Her eye has a certain gleam. Her wit is keen from the inner eye And all is not what it seems. She is powerful beyond your imagination. Leave a tip out by the trashcan. __________________________ Model: Irene Muzzy Picture and words

Bright lights frightenThe Hermit. Cheer repulsesThe Leper. Yet All of them process into the Odditorium: The crippled and the lame,The queer and the meek, The short and the fat,The ugly and the weak, The skinny and the intellectual,The freckled and the geek, Too poor or too weird,Some kinda sideshow freak. Just vainglorious soldiersMutants in the gene pool Mightas wellbe somethingout ofH.P. Lovecraft. The Harlequin jumps onstage,A cardboard megaphone in hand: "Rise! Arise from slumber! Freaks everywhere unite! Don?tchangeyouressential natureto try to fit inwith what others tryto shapeyouinto being. You already are someone.Listen to your heart,and follow your instinctson the pathyou will takein this life. LetYourHeartLead. And try notto let it lead youintotoo muchplastic surgery.
