The text and audio versionAI creates abundance, not taste.
This room is the home of my visual art and songwriting: classic poems I’ve set to music, and songs of my own.
Poetry is language at its most powerful. Song lyrics are poems that learned to sing, and music sends them straight into the body.
Look around the room; everything in it plays, reads, or downloads.
Music, poetry, art. And dogs.
Take the songs. Make something.

63 TALES · 20 POETS
These are poems I turned into songs, arranged in five movements. Each one plays as a short animation of the poem read aloud, then the song it became.
They follow a life: waking up to things, falling in love, seeing the world as it is, learning what it costs, and letting go.
Stop whenever you like; your place is saved for when you come back.
Keep the Room on your computer. It opens in its own window, straight into the music.

Tell me about your dog. Or about something that happened that should be a song.
I read everything. If it's hate mail, please make it entertaining.
This comes to me, not the internet.

O rose thou art sick. The invisible worm, That flies in the night In the howling storm: Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy: And his dark secret love Does thy life destroy.
