I don't like this song

so I probably won't ever release it anywhere. But something compelled me to share it with you here. SO if it does anything for you, that's more than enough for me.


Love,

Rage

The thing about rage is it’s meant to be left on the stage but when there’s no stage where does it land? It’s simply here in my hand.

TV TOWN IS NERVOUS

I've been letting my stream of consciousness go very recently when i'm making things. I'm really not so good at doing this but lately i've somehow been able to let go. I'm going to be posting even more nonsense than usual, if you're up for it. Basically these are just one to two minute recordings of what the inside of my brain looks like in a moment and they may not make any sense. But i just saw Joker for the first time last night so...

Helen in the Woods—Live in Berlin!

Filmed March 11, 2020, this was the last show I played before the Covid lockdowns. It’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to sweat it out like this again.

This footage comes courtesy of Bryan Bisordi.


Love y’all,

My First (and probably last!) Rap

Anne Hathaway Movie


When I was young I was like the underdog

In a Anne Hathaway movie

You didn’t see me sittin there huh? Just sat your ass on top of me?

I was the master of invisibility

I didn’t know who I was yet

Now I fuckin do

I am sorcerer, wizard, witch

Mia Thermopiles Renaldi, bitch

Yeah, you bet your ass I’m wearing the thigh high Chanel boots, twit

I am a words genius, I am a god among men

You have no ...

margaret's socially distant birthday

I've been having a lot of fun with instrumental work...thinking a lot these days about film/TV and what makes a rich score. I always notice when the score is outstanding, and when it is, I'm just obsessed with it. It inevitably makes me like whatever film or show I'm watching even more. It's making me want to get into scoring. It's hard to get a foothold in that world but... I like hard work :)


they're just experiments! 


love y'all

Question:

As a music fan, what’s the most excited you could be? What does it take? Does a new record or a new song do it? Is it seeing the artist live in concert? Is it a personal interaction? A new music video that’s killer or a collaboration with another artist? I want to know what’s going to *do* it for people in 2021, when nothing seems to matter. Do I have to get on tik tok? (Please say no). Much love 😘 M

TONGUE SLAP YOUR BRAINS OUT demo

this is one of the weirdest songs i've ever made and i love it still...my grandpa used to say, when something tasted really delicious, "it's so good it'll make your tongue slap your brains out!" i don't know why he said that. but he did and i made a song around it. i hope you enjoy this early iteration of it, pre
Three Futures. love you all very much,

Let’s try this again

Not sure why there are technical issues. If you’re not able to see the video for some reason, can you comment with your Instagram handle or email address if you don’t have Instagram? I’ll just send you the unlisted YouTube video. Xx

Up We Go (demo)

You might remember this instrumental from a few months back...I added words! I think it's too *out there* to put on a record (who knows, maybe i'll do it) but I thought at least I could share it with you all. Lots of love everyone. xo


This can’t wait 

Get out your cave 

Stop hiding from the light 

Up we go 

Are you coming or not?

Don’t burn out 

Up we go 

Above everything we’ve ever known

Green Stretch

A (sort of) short story I wrote January 4, 2016, from which the song “Greener Stretch” (on Three Futures) was derived...


I.

The sands hover more like a prediction than a problem. The two strips over my head move in cream and lavender and do not converge but inch in place. The cream backwards and the lavender forwards and then the cream forwards and the lavender backwards. Tectonic plates whose unknowable frictions you have no real faith in to ruin your life but sad...

Working titles

Found in my 2017/2018 notebook—these were the final contenders for album titles before I settled on Silver Tongue. Xx
