Interdimensional Advertising 2

Here is some more fun advertising from across the universe! This billboard is controlled by the ad robot at the top middle, who changes the ads to fit the predilection of the viewer...... like the one for Funny Stupid Shit towards the bottom left, right above a promo for my favorite interdimensional French ghost story collection, 'J'emie Gheostes'..........towards the top right we have 'Thie Thes Pecttios' which is a wonderful bakery confection from a very distant planet, and next to that is everyone's favorite cosmic sitcom, 'The Pals'. Towards the middle we have Inlet Sand, a magazine for serious sand enthusiasts, right next to the Shins new album, which is popular on many planets, not just earth. And, of course, 'Geeans'! Love from me to you, friends.........

Cosmic Rainbows

 Here are some giant cosmic rainbows from all across the galaxy!....... a beautiful, mysterious, and largely unexplained phenomena that gives me hope for the future and faith in creation.....

Into the Penumbra

 The final track for our February album is ready!..... 'Into the Penumbra' is a chilled out groove made for voyaging blithely into the unknown.....with bass, drums, guitar, organ, harp, and glorious purpose!....

All We Have Lost

Here we have the second to last song for February's Secret Path album.......A cosmic ambient song featuring piano, guitar, synth, and the mighty Optigan..... it's a song about love and loss. I was going to call it 'A Clean Break', but the feelings and losses it brings to me did not have particularly clean breaks, so its called 'All We Have Lost'......It's Here Stream, follow, and enjoy!
 

Astral Record Player 5

Another Astral Record Player! (candlelight edition)...... this gem played for us on the back patio of a creepy and beautiful manor house that used to belong to famed occult detective Therese Mangold.... such a lovely view looking down into the forest, and the record contained the song "Candlelight Vigil"; an ultra rare instrumental song from the Velvet Underground......we had some absinthe and spoke of power, and the light of day.......altogether it was a beautiful night!
 

Depouille

Greetings lovely humans!.....song six for February is now presenting along the Secret Path......Six guitars, drums, and some Rhodes piano.....I made this one myself, but everyone liked it so much that Flipping Pancakes did some mixing, and we're including it on The Secret Path! Depouille is French for 'bare', or 'without ornament'.....not altogether sure how it relates to this song, but Spelle insisted that we name the song that, and her instincts are always to be trusted.....Music Here

Magnify the Essence

 Some downtempo radness has bloomed along The Secret Path for us all to enjoy..... a bit of simple trip hop magic with mellotron and synth, drums, bass, and just a small amount of guitar....some beautiful quiet parts, as well as glorious and effervescent overtones swirling around the beat.....open your ventricles and let it all in!

Check it out here   follow us on Bandcamp and have fun on the earth as it hurtles through space.......

Rad Boggzz 2

 Found a few old pics of Rad Boggzz from when he was in an electronic dark ambient doom metal band with Denny (Dennis Waldron) and Chip Mahoy........the band was named 'To Wander Out'...... or TWO.... or 2.......there were heavy elements and darkness, but a lot of it was very ghostly and chill.....none of their stuff is online, but maybe we can dig some up some day!

Optigan Season 4

It's Optigan Season 4 everybody! Here we have the Fantastic Planet Optigan, featuring a model of the Earth on the top in an imaginary swamp environment.......this model is owned by Phylis Leiter, who was nice enough to let me take this photo...... on the top left is a specimen of the ultra rare Burgundy Lotus, which helps channel tranquility, peace, and safety. There's also a miniature bucket of painted Easter eggs, and a bizarre and wonderful panel on the left that modulates and delays the sounds when you slide your fingers on it.......Happy days! 

The Floyd 4

It's time for another edition of our strange and wonderful versions of Pink Floyd's artwork for the 1969 album "Ummagumma".......here we have my good friend Victoria as the centerpiece, with her son Connor to her right, and her sister Maxine in the yellow blazer. I believe we took these photos somewhere near Marseille, and you can see a coin operated volleyball dispenser to the right of Connor, and above that a poster of a French guerrilla soldier, and and advertisement for Langba.......for the picture window in the upper left, we ran into an all girl band named Mt. Aug Teat on their way through France, and they let us take this picture of them at a bus stop (can't remember where the flame in the back came from hahaha)... and of course at the top center is a painting of the Guardian of the Rose Bush from the movie The Secret of Nimh............... 

Bill's Last Words

 As promised, here is the second song for Valentines Day release......Bill's Last Words.....some classic Hauntology ala Boards of Canada! The title is a tribute to my grandfather, Bill Krafter, who inspired me into theater (esp. Shakespeare), music, and performing arts at a very early age...... the instrument to the left of the lamp is a hurdy gurdy my grandfather built using the taxidermied body of his favorite owl, Perkins..... I wasn't there when he died to hear his actual last words, so here I have chosen to represent them with the last words of Hamlet, "the rest is silence".......featuring guitars, drums, synth, and dreamy wonder...... rest in peace, old Bill......here is the music

The Golden Spectrum

 Happy Valentines Day lovers! Here is the first of two new songs that have sprouted along The Secret Path for us today......The Golden Spectrum is inspired by our love for old school hip hop breaks, and 70s library synth records...... find it here ......stream, download, follow us on Bandcamp, and enjoy!...... I love you.

Notes From the Bedroom Wall 4

 Heigh ho friends! This is notes from a bedroom wall in my dreams.....this room has no roof, as you can see the buildings in the top left.....this room was in a building very close to the Grand Bazaar in Kashmir.......in the mirror you can clearly see The Doorway of Dreams, that helps you to move from dream to dream with focused intention. On the shelf next to the mirror is a VHS copy of an anime (or Japanimation) movie about exotic flowers from the early 80s called Hanna......and to the left of that is a little 50s jukebox robot that plays skiffle and early rock and roll records!

The next shelf down, from the left, has a baby jacaranda tree, next to a tablet displaying computations for an algorithm that predicts the future.....in the middle you can see my Astral Clock, where if you put your left hand into the field of stars, it will tell you the exact moment you were born, and the exact moment you will die......very interesting, but some stones are better left unturned. On the right of this shelf is a picture of The Scarlet Organ, an amazing musical instrument that I had in my little night club in Vancouver called "Holy Hideaway".......the club and everything in it burned in a tragic fire in the mid 90s...... c'est la vie....

And at the very bottom is a list of nearby dream worlds, as well as a dream navigation system......Cheers!

The Dragon Begins

 Happy New Year and welcome to the Year of the Dragon!..... peace, love, and best of luck to everyone....this dragon photo was taken by Garish Beverages somewhere in northern France.......I have a really good feeling about this year.

Interdimensional Advertising

Here is a page of Interdimensional Advertising from the back pages of Time and Space magazine!.... some old favorites here, like an ad for the intergalactically renown space viking restaurant, Motter Mes, and also a quick spot for the famous house of watch making, Yoins Mit Of. If you like figs, you should definitely try Fiigs! Looks like these batches come with a cosmic bouquet and light show......of course who could forget The Pexiins, everyones favorite antique camera loving tv family, and also an inspirational promo poster for the One Cpira movement.....we could go through all of them, but I'm sure you'll read through them yourself when you have time.......
 

The Long Goodbye

 Here we have another song that has snuck up on us along The Secret Path......it's a simple rock song about life with guitars, bass, drums and vocals....there is singing on this track, and we're really happy about how it turned out! It's Here follow us on Bandcamp, stream, download, and enjoy! Support music and the arts.....love LK

We are magic

we are a broken heart

we are trying to express the thing that sets us apart

When we were younger we touched infinity

but we couldn't hold on too long

'cause it was killing you, killing me

It's time to live before it's time to die

I love you all

this is the long goodbye

It is an ancient song that your blood and bones remember

it is a wordless truth to which we all should surrender

We can be limitless; we can be anything

there's no force upon this earth that can stop the love that we bring

It's time to live before it's time to die

I love you all

this is the long goodbye

Frankincense

 Another new song reveals itself along The Secret Path!..... a simple, shuffling dub song that reminds me of a peaceful version of Frankenstein's monster setting the sacred space in a temple by walking around with an incense brazier.......featuring drums and guitars, keys and choirs......the first song out for the February album!

Get it here , follow us on Bandcamp, stream and enjoy!.....

Spelle Krafter

 Here are a couple of images of my lovely sister, Spelle Krafter, in the studio, to introduce her properly, and round out all the introductions of The Secret Path 5 members........she plays harp and guitar for us...and guzheng......and basically anything with strings! New music for February coming soon.....

Tarot and Astrology (T and A) 4

Here we have another installment of Tarot and Astrology......this one is the card for Judgement! In the main image you can see the Yin Yang Zombies of New Zealand lore and legend, with one of them holding The Crown of Dark Energy.........at the top left is a poster for Daarcc Creek, which is a cosmic horror, Lovecraftian version of Dawson's Creek! It's scary and strange, and James Van Der Beek makes a cameo appearance hahaha!......in the left middle, next to the Yang Zombie, is a depiction of The Samurai of Time, accepting a glowing green gemstone as tribute from one of its followers......the bottom center is a small painting called "Into the House of the Spider", and to the right of that is the four symbols for the dark ambient version of Led Zeppelin, called "Bed Zeppelin".........Ahoy!
 

Farewell to Rabbit

 Saying farewell to The Year of the Rabbit soon, and Entering The Year of the Dragon.........are you ready?

Forgotten Faces 4

 Another edition of concept art for the fabled album 'Forgotten Faces' featuring The Memory Sphinx......this one is more cartoonish and cosmic......very very cool!
