Wild, screaming in the woods where they cut the trees down, crazy boys in the gravel pit throwing rocks at the still backhoe, watching men lay miles of wire and pipeline, abandoned shacks in the woods, landfill, strange ditches, poles that are now monuments, ancient rusty cars with cheesy paint jobs covered in moss, ominous water towers between neighborhoods become objects of worship when confused by lysergicism or other false religions.

I scream because they're building ugly houses that eat the entire yard in the woods. Miles and miles of poorly planned neighborhoods that crash into each other.  Remember the space between them, where you can walk your dog in the day and commit strange acts of social unacceptance upon the moonrise.

I am simply striving to learn broader definitions of the word 'beauty'.

HWLR MNKY is a temporary name for the projects that I compose on the more experimental side of my creative self, as opposed to the other side that writes songs about girls, food or sunny days on guitar or didgeridu.  Sometimes these two sides meet, but the name of the project remains HWLR MNKY.  Sometimes beats, sometimes noise, sometimes both, sometimes neither.

WHOO HOOO!
