Spraypaint Blowtorch - "Electric Poem (001)"
Spraypaint Blowtorch is me, Richard F. Yates, using a virtual synth program to make noises. I don't know how to use a synthesizer, for one thing, so this is more of a "wow, this thing makes cool noises," instead of a "check out my awesome new song," sort of thing. I like noises, and computer...

I Wish I'd Brought a Pen
This monologue is from a radio play about a guy who is too thick around the middle and goes for a walk around a lake to take in some exercise, but he runs out of steam and decides to sit for a while on a bench and rest. In this moment, our character muses on the nature of memory, the memory of...

Walkin' Down the Street
This is an improvised poem with percussion. The clanky beat was created by striking an empty pop can with a plastic washable marker. Performing in this poem are Supreme Bunny Warlord and MC Spoiler. It's catchy! The photo-artwork for this episode is of The 24 Hour Church of Elvis in Portland,...

Livingroom Symphony
This piece was performed by the BUNNYHEADSQUAD on Wednesday, June 22, 2011, before a capacity crowd (three cats were watching) at the BUNNYHEADBUNKER. It is a work for found sounds and vocals. The performers were: Supreme Bunny Warlord - floorboards, couch cover, pop can, corn chip, and vocals.…

Comb Solo
In this piece, introduced by BUNNYHEADSQUAD member, MC Spoiler, the Supreme Bunny Warlord performs a haunting composition on an oversized novelty comb.
-
Machete
Contradictions abound in this momentary reflection on the discovery of a dangerous item in an unexpected place! And, to complete this piece, I wrote this little note on a receipt I found on the floor of my car while speeding towards home: "When I got back to my car after work, the machete was…

The Cat Song
This is a little ditty that I constantly sing as I wage my perpetual war against the five cats that are plotting against me in and around my house. The tune is an interpolation of the song "Clowns are Experts" by The Vandals. I felt, as this song is a daily part of our lives here at the...

The Sack-a-holics - "Hacky-Sack"
This is both a performance art piece and an educational moment. The Sack-a-holics kick the old sack around, counting each contact with the sack as it occurs. Once the movement of the sack stops they then comment on how they feel, each individually, about their accomplishment. The entire episode…

Lower Your Expectations
A public service announcement in which the Supreme Bunny Warlord (aka: Richard F. Yates) gives listeners some practical advice to assist with the attainment of happiness and serenity.

Tooth and Nail
Reading with a cold is fun. It makes your voice sound all rough and tough (even when it normally ain't!) and I think it gives this reading a bit of a kick. This poem, "Tooth and Nail," was first published by the fine folks at madswirl.com. After you're done listening to this piece, head on over…

Tatered Cat Attacks Gym Shorts (Clarinet Practice)
More BUNNYHEADSQUAD conversation, this time digitally "enhanced" to make it slightly less boring!!! (Not a significant source of vitamin C or calcium.)
-
Air Paper Fur (Raw)
Two minutes of room noises: the barely audible hum from Reed mowing his lawn across the street, me skooching a cat off my backpack, writing sounds [these words: "At home now. It is quiet. ('It' is the house---although I am not sitting in silence.) (I am recording nothing!)"], and a cat squeeking....

Air Paper Fur (Cooked)
This is a heavily modified version of the above piece. This mix is noisier and very unpleasant!

Walkin' (31 July 2010)
This piece is a conversation held between three members of the art collective known as The BUNNYHEADSQUAD: Richard F. Yates (aka Supreme Bunny Warlord), Mariah Yates (aka Momo), and Elise Yates (aka Pants, Elvis, or, most recently, MC Spoiler). The conversation is mundane and carefree. The sound...

Blindfold Shuffle Roll the Die (and Cheat)
This is a poem I wrote, also in 2009, using a chance method. As quickly as I could, I scribbled words and phrases that came to mind onto note-cards and tossed them into a pile on the floor. When I'd gone through a sufficiently sizable number of cards, I picked up the pile, shuffled them, and...

Smudge. Rough. Random. Crunch.
This is a poem I wrote in 2009 which I decided might be fun if read by a robot. I love the cadence of electronic voice synthesis programs, and I love the pronunciations of "questionable" words. I use a lot of those in my work. "Smudge. Rough. Random. Crunch." ... Rumble. Jump. Excrement. Filling...
