Banshee Train
A banshee train
just howled its way west through town;
as if incited by murder;
the bad death of a lover.
Blats and blares and wrath spat
soaked up by the already heavy air;
shrieking in voices, all dominant, dissonant, yet unison;
of power, of pain, of rage, of despair
It gave me a thrill and a fright, my children;
and somewhere it's howling, I hear it
still, carried back in fits and gasps
on the leaf-blow'n Halloween wind.

Christina Osborn: Studio Demos
Here are the 4 tracks from Christina's studio demo set. All songs are original pieces ("All Your Days Are Sad" was written the weekend before the studio session and I posted the original in an earlier journal - "How Sweet It Is" is my favorite.) The tracks are CD quality so, they're each about 5 MB.
Thanks!
- 01 - You're Coming Over Soon
- 02 - All Your Days Are Sad
- 03 - Hard Enough To Sleep
- 04 - How Sweet It Is
Thanks!

The Mourning Pages (#1)
This is the first installment of the Mourning Pages project, a collaborative effort between me and my oldest daughter - I hope to collect discographies from all my children as they grow, and, if Nina is any indicator, I'll have a lot of good music to listen to for the rest of my ecstatically proud life..
The title of the song(s) was a theme we chose as an exercise in writing, recording, and producing an original piece of music at home with a laptop and a microphone.
As the project progresses, Christina and I intend to co-develop pieces during the coming 2 months, and spend the summer performing together.
Christina has finished her studio demo; it will be available (from somewhere) in a week or less - if you are interested, please PM or email me.
Comments, questions, and good vibes are welcome.
We hope you enjoy!
