Episodes

  1. The black mirror was Mother's

    Mother's mirror always has shown such marvelous things.

  2. My love, my love, the death is beyond us now

    The truth is not easy to kill, silence, or mutilate.

  3. it was morning and none could deny

    All enigmas that are sensible mean nothing in the end.

  4. You take the fun out fo the unfun house

    There is no escape, and the unfun is forever.

  5. Valkyries, the well, and the ring

    Beyond the surface, it ever dwells. Beneath the waves, there is everything and nothing. And all.

  6. A lamp that ne'er goes out

    Echoes of the flaming mother in purple skies, take me home. "Come away!" she said, and all I had was a song.

  7. And she said, "THIS is how the gods fuck."

    Things that should be that are not. If you understood, you'd never dig up Joan Crawford from her grave.

  8. The savagery of the third

    In the distance, it can be felt but not known. Such is the righteous riot of the mating of the stars.

  9. He who does not love what he has made is not

    Two of the same exact model guitar and their brother walk into a bar. Amplitude modulation crushing delay sweeps in and demands a dance. Such is the way of the fading cosmos.

  10. We ran together in the night

    You weren't there, but you may have heard the stomping in the woods in the mist.

  11. Their desecration will not be forgotten

    Sometimes everything you've been told is a lie. Only the sound of truth remains.

  12. Six score and three sixty five out of line

    A return of the 'record in a day' birthday EP/album that I haven't done in a couple years. Marred by near catastrophe as the forward strap screw on the main guitar decided to remove itself from the guitar mid-take - I kept the song anyway.

  13. Deadlight

    A return of the 'record in a day' birthday EP/album that I haven't done in a couple years. Marred by near catastrophe as the forward strap screw on the main guitar decided to remove itself from the guitar mid-take - I kept the song anyway.

  14. Fire for effect, motherfucker

    A return of the 'record in a day' birthday EP/album that I haven't done in a couple years. Marred by near catastrophe as the forward strap screw on the main guitar decided to remove itself from the guitar mid-take - I kept the song anyway.

  15. He salutes in farewell and steps into the briny deep

    A return of the 'record in a day' birthday EP/album that I haven't done in a couple years. Marred by near catastrophe as the forward strap screw on the main guitar decided to remove itself from the guitar mid-take - I kept the song anyway.

  16. Something dies every time the echo stops

    It lives, and it dies, and it goes.

  17. Did what had to be done

    When the lacquer's dried and the buffing begins sometime after the last watt dies in the last transmitter at the end of days, I will not be sorry. Did what had to be done.

  18. Spirits in the wire

    Nothing kills the echo of echoes, and they're always in the wire. Hail the doers and the ones who passed first.

  19. Strike order received

    It's all been broken for how long now?

  20. Echoes of the Eternal Equinox

    In the space between space, I can always hear Her sighs.

  21. The warning was forgotten

    The screams of winter's coming frost, no longer able to be held back.

  22. Behold the wickedness I have made

    Sometimes the wickedness only appears when the walls shake and the earth herself screams.

  23. It cannot compute

    No matter what one tries, it always comes back to the indisputable laws of nature Herself.

  24. Angles in the tides

    The winds are never silent as the world burns.

  25. The exploitation of the mobius strip

    That which neither begins nor ends needs regulation

  26. A sacrifice for a sacrifice, a gift for a gift

    From the inside looking out, there is alway the orlog of the blood.

  27. The ice queen rises

    Beyond the warmth of ice, the heart of winter herself.

  28. Reason is a lie; the Weltanschauung is forever

    When the tough get deplatformed (again), the machines laugh and the song recommences.

  29. Who killed whom last night?

    At the site of a murder, where on the smudges of echoes of the scene remain.

  30. Reign of fire

    The system is what the system is, an dthe blast is uncontainable.

  31. The collapse of time

    Orlog is as orlog does.

  32. What choice did I have?

    At the heart of the maelstrom of the well of the worlds, there could have bene no other way.

  33. Thus is the end of the telegraph's reign

    The cracking of the wires does not lie. Thus ends the tyranny of the telegraph, and thus began the hegemony of radio. [Upon receipt of the finished product, neither of us could remember who did what exactly, but ...it was about perfect.]

  34. The maelstrom calls

    I have danced in the ecstasy and bliss of creation's fire, and brought back the sounds thereof.

  35. Her kisses always did have teeth

    The bite and the dance and the embrace of embraces in microtime.

  36. The path to blood is blood

    There is no substitute, there is no alternative.

  37. Choose ye well

    There is only one way forward into orlog.

  38. Der Klang der Bosheit

    Enter the passion and the wickedness, stage left. (Austin Osman Spare, "The Last Bones")

  39. The many deaths of Brixton Towne the Third

    There are so many layers and they're all fallen apart. Such is the unravelling of the Well of Worlds. (Psyche, Arno Breker)

  40. The carnivale of souls has none

    Everything old is dead again.

  41. Apotheosis

    New year, new track. It takes two to tango, and two to ascend to the heights of godhead.

  42. The distance between the damsel and her distress

    Such is the way of the dance of dances, for which no words ever suffice.

  43. The sample and the hum and the hold

    Sometimes one gets a wild hair after almost thirty years, and goes to town. There is ever a method to the silence in the madness.

  44. The voice and the vision beyond

    The voice in the silence never led me astray.

  45. Oh, how we used to dance and dance again

    In memory of a dear departing friend from the market, on the discontinuing of the venerable Boss RE-20 Space Echo, which has for a decade now served to lessen the wear and tear on my actual vintage unit substantially.

  46. Speak in silence and the silence speaks

    There is nothing but this in the blank abyss.

  47. The preparation and the sacrifice are one

    There are things which cannot be said, as the blackness sets in.

  48. There is no distance from death

    I have seen beyond her milky ways. Only death and heritage remain.

  49. Far beyond the seven veils

    Shock and awe, thumping with the helicopter blight.

  50. O, how the madrigal has fallen!

    Control in anti-form; a duet for things beyond words.
