Cephalopods And Their Allies

About Me

At one point in time, I made entirely programmed music. Next, I tried writing songs that I could play by myself if I were to ever play a solo show. Then I got pretty good at recording so I wrote songs with multiple layers. Once I got that down, I started making songs that had programmed parts as well as real instruments. Time went by, and I got pretty comfortable with my way of going about making music. It was time to start having some real fun. Not too long ago, I made it my mission to write the saddest song possible. That has been an ongoing process, as I keep writing terribly sad-sounding songs. Next, I set out to write songs that would challenge my mind and my hands, and that became my third EP. More recently, really goofy and happy songs have been finding their way into my mind. All in all, no matter what kinds of songs I write and record, I embrace them all under this name.
I love this music. I love writing it, I love recording it, I love listening to it, I love thinking about it. But most of all, I love showing it to people. Thank you for listening to it, and thank you ten times more if you listen to it again. I would love to know what you think of it, so please feel free to leave a comment on this page with your thoughts. Heck, I'm showing you mine!
Be in touch, and thank you again- for reading, listening, and writing.
Sincerely,
Dylan

"Stories And Other Stories" Words and Other Words

"Tracks 1, 2, 3, & 4" Notes and Whatnot

I've come to realize that since the print is very small on the insert for "Tracks 1, 2, 3, & 4," it is almost impossible to read on lower-quality prints of it (sorry if you have one like that, but...

It kills me to think about this song.Love and time don't get along.Hearts and clocks don't beat the same.Time moves forward, love wants to stay behind and wait.If love won't kill you, time will kill y...

Eventually East Becomes West

This is one of my favorite songs- mostly because of the ending. It's about lying, archery, and running in uncomfortable shoes.Go far enough and eventually you'll meet on the other side.If I wanted to ...

A New Bass, Or Rather, A New Experiment.

When I saw Geddy Lee using a fretless bass at the Rush concert last Friday, I decided it was time for me to stop beating around the bush and just get one. After all, I have to be Geddy Lee! Haha,...
