New Severance Song Demo
Writing and demoing the next album. It will the poetry of Robert Olen Butler set to music from his work ‘Severance’
“each in the voice of a beheaded historical, mythical, animal or modern figure, make up the collection. Each is exactly 240 words, Butler’s estimate of the number of words that could be spoken by a decapitated head before oxygen runs out.”
Here is a demo of the second completed song. Chicken (Americauna pullet, beheaded in Alabama for Sunday dinner, 1958) recorded on my four-track cassette recorder in the wee hours at my home in Denton, TX.
