DUAL RELEASE: "When It's Time to Go" + "world_puzzle" Now Streaming (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.)
Both tracks recorded with/produced by MZM.
“When It’s Time to Go” is a cover of a track by Buddy Fo & His Group, recorded immediately prior to COVID.
I’d initially discovered this song via Youtube, through unknown clicks-on-clicks-on-clicks, several years ago now.
I can recall being shocked at the lowness of the view-count. Haven’t wanted to know if some crate-digger account’s blown it up since.
The lyrics have been slightly modified from the original.
“world_puzzle” was composed at some risk in the early and uncertain days of COVID through a combination of dance, movement, and musical improvisation.
Mike Z. (MZM) had a collection of sounds he’d cooked up to use, I had a variety of dragging/shoving/piercing movements to convey, chords were found and shifted about, tonal chanting went on for about three hours’ time.
This track was played during an Adult Swim-adjacent live-streamed burlesque strip show that raised thousands dollars (among other things) for charity.
I’d (w/ permission) video-captured the affair, but failed to record the audio. The lusty performance is but a memory, but I can tell you that one commentator described it as sounding “LIKE A GOTH CUMMING
,” and another commentator responded “LOL
.”
