Picture of Yesterday's Recording Session

 

Expanded Music Distribution

I have recently purchased a plan with DistroKid and uploaded Taciturn Headphonetics. You can now listen to it on sites/apps like Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music.

Listen to music on another platform? It will likely be there too, if not in the near future—some sites can take a little longer to process things.

Comments on Taciturn Headphonetics Song Titles

1. "Soren's Cinnamon" - This refers to a quotation I came across in Colin Brown's Philosophy and the Christian Faith, where Soren Kierkegaard's work is described as "Just a bit of cinnamon." The footnote for this quotation reads: "Cf. H. Diem Kierkegaard's Dialectic of Experience, Eng. tr. by H. Knight (Oliver & Boyd, 1959), p. 157."

2. "Table Tennis" - Pretty self-explanatory, as the song includes sound effects of people playing ping-pong.🏓

3. "I Only See Hot-Air Balloons in the Morning" - When I worked at The Home Depot and had early-morning shifts (which began at 6:45 a.m.!), I observed hot-air balloons fairly often on the drive to work. "Galaxy" by The Numb Project, released in 2003, uses a loop that sounds very similar if not identical to one of the guitar ones in my song. This was a coincidence. 🎈

4. "Supervenience" - This is a technical term in philosophy of mind. I became acquainted with it through the book Whatever Happened to the Soul? Scientific and Theological Portraits of Human Nature, edited by Warren S. Brown, Nancey Murphy, and H. Newton Malony. 🤯

5. "How It's Made" - Just a reference to the television show. I like to imagine that music like this would be on it, but perhaps I am wrong. 📺

6. "Cosmo's Space Derby" - The name of a ride at Galaxyland, an amusement park in West Edmonton Mall. 🏎️

7. "Submariner" - It's a cool word! The word "submarine" is nice, but "submariner" might be even better. 🤿

8. "The Milve Raceway" - The name of a pre-made park in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. 🏁

9. "History, as Understood from Its Endpoint" - Refers to the eschatological theology of Wolfhart Pannenberg.

10. "Dragon Sunnies" - Inspired by Lord Cinderbottom, a dragon from the video game series Peggle. I had Peggle Nights in mind in particular.

11. "Rainier Dog With the Yellow Hat" - A reference to the children's book The Sailor Dog by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Garth Williams. 🐶

12. "Tony Hawk's Snowskater" - A play on words of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, justified by the icy and sad sounds of the song. 🛹

13. "Railroad Town" - Paying homage to Sutherland, a neighbourhood in Saskatoon, which, as you might imagine, is known for its railroad. 🚆

14. "Fireworks Galaxy" - It's all about space with this one! 🌌
