CSM aka Calling Sister Midnight Melody Romancito

Don't Be Scared! 
Jazz Frighten's People - A collaboration with Christine Autumn.
All that She Surveys - Inspired by backing tracks to already beautiful remixes, I thought to take oldDog’s and magmavander’s lush tracks, already so nicely blended in CiggiBurns’ “Quantity Surveying” (dogmix). I riffed on the word “survey” and remembered an old phrase usually used around goddesses or women who felt they were all that. I figured us ladies would go to a lounge where the drinks were a little stronger and the conversation a little more erudite.
Jazz Improv -- When the players don't play more than they have to and I don't overdo things.
Somebody's Watching You - One of my first remixes with a loop called "Deep Dish" and N-Track Studio back in 2004.

Art music is in a class by itself. Not really adhering to regular genre sorting, art music is how I entered this form of communication. 

If we thought the 2016 election was a bad thing, we really had a little taste of how things were going to roll out with the results of the 2004 election. Hanging chads and all. This composition was an actual dream I had the night of the election. The audio samples that make up this composition are me singing the old Staples Singers tune "I Had a Dream," the Taos Gospel Choir rehearsing the same tune, played in fast forward mode, and played backward, and a sample oracle toy from Walmart.

Back in 2010 I attended a show of noisy sculptures by Christina Sporrong and Christian Ristow and sampled the sound the sculpture “Nine Beating Hearts” made. I added Pitx’s “Fun Key (ft. Kirkoid)” and this is a remix of a slightly different take on the same piece. “Power Transmission - The Art of Ristow and Sporrong” Encore Gallery, Taos Community Auditorium. ("Cool" was how they responded :\ when I sent them a link), 

I used to belong to a writers' online community called everything2.com. One of the users there had a project where he asked contributors to put together music for a little story he wrote that was described as sort of a reverse-Pinocchio story – a real boy that wishes to become a robot. This third song in the CSM trio is called "OnOffRobot"

In this episode, we have time for a bonus track, one we played earlier in the season, but it seems like an appropriate time to play it again. This is an audio "Rendition" of what social media sounds like sometimes.

Here are three tunes by CSM (me!) which cover a wide swath of sound. From one of my first electronic compositions to one of my most recent, and starting off with an acoustic tune. All original. All me. And now, you 😀

Listen to CSM, Calling Sister Midnight, talk about the production of a couple of her most recent tracks, including one from the ccmixter dot org community and another one that has more in common with the Firesign Theatre than music.
