- BONSAI! Music incoming!
My first Lens release of 2024
Tons of Verbiage - Zombie Shepherd (Baritone, Drums, Synth)
This is a remix of stems from an upcoming unreleased song with samples from a BBC special on Mark Rothko.
"When I was a younger man art was a lonely thing; no galleries, no collectors, no critics, no money. Yet it was a golden time, for then we had nothing to lose and a vision to gain. Today it is not quite the same. It is a time of tons of verbiage, activity, and consumption. Which condition is better for the world at large I will not venture to discuss. But I do know that many who are driven to this life are desperately searching for those pockets of silence where they can root and grow. We must all hope that they find them."
- `Cat on a typewriter`
`The words make no sense`
`The ink has long dried`
`present in the past tense`
`We're all sold short`
`on the depth of experience`
`rhyming only counts`
`when we speak the same language`
`All of these sounds`
`are child-like in space`
`Searching for meaning in piles of thoughts that were convoluted`
`and searching for meaning`
`A pile of puzzle pieces`
`when no one saw the completed image`
`We all feel separate parts of the horse`
`not realizing it's an elephant`
`We will never know and it will never forget`

- Euterpe
8 - The space, the train, the desolation carries us into an even quieter place where there is only the sounds of the desert. Inspired by an audiovisual called Desert Melody and a piece of prose by Gurleen, I told the story from another angle. “I’m leaving for the desert, the coyotes are hungry.”
- 9 - The final song is a reflection and a resolution calling upon all of the voices of the album to say its piece in closing. Our coyotes, the desert melody, overly processed electric guitars alongside acoustic guitar and synth bass all recalling a memory we’re only just beginning to have. The present is a thin line that barely exists holding two things that don’t exist on either end: the past and the future.
- Helicon Descending has dropped on major streaming platforms but you can still collect sole of the singles on @beatsapp.lens and I'll have more NFT surprises coming soon to collectors.

“I'm afraid that if I blink, I might not be here anymore.”
1 - On this album I wanted to experiment with midi and live drums, synthesis and guitars, volume and tone, so I came right out of the gate with something aggressively weird. Fake drums into a hard kick off that dissolves into noisy filter sweeps echoing the opening riff, until through the fog comes a clear melody that leads us to the end. Even though these songs are under a minute, I wanted each one of them to have a full range of melodic journeys. It’s easy to feel like a short amount of time is not enough to tell a story, forgetting that most things that make us laugh or feel loved last only an instant while the feeling may linger for hours, or days.
A sense of urgency in the timeless weight that has come to erase us.
- Erato
“Absent lips that never miss
Making love but never kiss
Hate with all of your hips, it’s not my fault that your art never hit.
There’s always fond remembrance
Of emptiness
That makes the heart grow fonder.”
3 - This is the first song in which you really feel the minimalism. It’s driven by a synth bass melody with a fun juxtaposition of live drums. I could see the instrumental version of this song in a museum, visually displayed as the muppet animal sitting in an original Herman Miller shell chair playing a VR drum set. Before adding the vocals there was no mid range melodic element so there’s a lot of space in the frequencies. I put songs like 3 and 5 to explore that empty space before we really open up in 7-9. It also allows the listener more time to absorb the impact of the heavily guitar driven songs.
- Kalliope
“You can see it coming and you know it’s true,
One by one we’re all convinced to collude,
Despite the fact that we know there’s a better way,
The will is weak and the heart likes to play it safe,
Don’t give in when they whisper. Coordinate.”
2 - This song took the same concepts of midi and real drums, synthesis and guitars, volume and tone but used them in a very different way than the first song. I started this one on guitar then keys using an electric bass, midi synth so it started with the driving rhythm. I used a few variations of the electric bass synth track to create the filter sweeps. All of the heavier songs used only one guitar to get a raw, less produced garage tone, and let the synthesis have space around the 2 piece rock band. One of the funnest parts of this song for me is that the bass drum is a midi kick that is not lined up with anything and is rather arrhythmic but you don’t notice because the bass, guitar, and cymbals keep the rhythm without the kick. The cymbals are two tracks of real cymbals each recorded as one take with the song so the percussive elements weren’t written or recorded together. It all started from the groove of the melodic rhythm.
Thematically, I feel like this song has one big question: where is the line between collusion and coordination? It seems like it should be obvious, but even villains see themselves as the hero. How much of your personality and social choices are colluding against others to play it safe rather than coordinate for the good of everyone? How does this affect your art? How does this affect your psyche?
- Terpsikhore
4 - This song only has drums and guitar, keeping it fast and heavy rock vibe, 3 quick changes and a clear resolution. The guitar I used on track 4 was an Ibanez Steve Vai Jem to get a very rich and bright tone. The reason I chose the JEM is because I don’t use it often in recording and wanted a tone that was different from my other heavier songs and that certainly gave this more of a rock blues tone than it had on a heavier instrument. This really sets it apart from track 5 where I played an old decrepit, hollow-body Gretsch Synchromatic and track 6 where I used a Jackson Custom dinky with an EMG-81 in it. Tracks 1 and 2, which were both recorded on my Silverburst Gibson Les Paul Custom ‘81. The choice to change guitars for this song led to changing guitars for nearly every song on the album.
- Thaleia
“You been fuckin’ around,
and you’re about to find out
what loneliness is all about.
Gritty sand between my fingers,
Your taste lingers and I know it’s real.
And don’t we always.
We’re just so sure.”
5 - The guitar for this song was written on my Les Paul but when I went to record I wanted a more hollow body tone so I switched to acoustic electric Alvarez-Yairi which is the guitar I play every day. The last note on the song needed to be distorted and loud to crash out which I do by switching from clean channel 1 to distorted lead 1 on a Mesa Quad amp. Anyone who has played acoustic guitar through a tube amp knows that this causes uncontrollable feedback. But I was fucking around and about to find out what I already knew. I have another Alvarez acoustic with no hole, meant for recording but that killed the hollow body sound I wanted. I had one more guitar to try and I had never recorded with it, which became a theme of this album. The guitar I ended up recording on is an old, decrepit, hollow-body Gretsch Synchromatic. The pickups are rusty at the screws, the wood is warped in places, perhaps from moisture. The only thing fresh about it was the strings, otherwise it looks like a pirate ship pretending to be a guitar. The tone was perfect, no ungodly feedback because the sound holes aren’t under the strings like an acoustic. It has f-holes that are positioned on the outer body like a violin, or cello.
- Melpomene
“Mush! Stay in line!
You shouldn’t mind stepping over corpses to stay in time
There is no peace,
or incentives aligned
We knew exacltly what effect we would have on your mind.
So jump in the fire,
and embrace the ego
The farther we go down this path the more it knows what we know.
And how to control
the vitriol you have for human inconvenience.”
6 - The writing of this album is very focused on melody, harmony, ambience, and juxtaposition. I originally didn’t plan to have lyrics so I didn’t write leaving space for it. Maybe these decisions went hand in hand or vice-versa. I ended up changing my mind as I felt like the minimalism needed some more lead melodies that could have been guitar or synth but I chose voice to complete it. All of that is to say I didn’t plan to write any songs that were this heavy for this album. It happened out of a pure drive of the rhythm of this song. The intensity in it needed to be conveyed fully rather than holding it back to fit into the album better. This has happened a lot with my vocals as well. I have tried to focus more on singing and emphatic delivery rather than screaming and other forms of metal vocals. But some of these things need that emphasis and I find it better to lean in than try to pull punches, like the final line of Blood & Honey. Is this the ego dissolution I was looking for or a regression into old patterns? I like to think it’s an exploration into a past self with the healthy distance to harness that energy without being engulfed by it. Don’t let the trappings of art and culture dull your edges, art isn’t made to be civil and some messages need to be delivered as the raw, abrasive truth.
- Polhymnia
There was a desolation in this riff that I wanted to remain untainted but needed to ensure that it wasn’t too vacuous. In the distance we hear the train which is our only rhythm built from a sample and undertone with a Moog analog synth. This ends up being one of the few songs that I multi-track guitars because the fingering of each take becomes a chorus of voices drifting in rhythm almost like time running over each other in a loop. This riff has always been here.
- We're down to the final three tracks of Helicon Descending!!
and there will be airdrops!!
Collectors of songs 1, 2, and 3 will get a song! Kleio, Kalliope, Erato
Collectors of songs 4, 5, and 6 will get a second song! Terpsikhore, Thaleia, Melpomene
Collectors of songs 7, 8, and 9 will get a third song! Polhymnia, Euterpe, Ourania
You must collect all three tracks in succession for the airdrop, this means there are only 13 possible for each track and that narrows as each song mints out!
Thanks for those who have collected so far @0xzfi.lens @gianni.lens @sweetman.lens @watchereth.lens @stani.lens @christina.lens @moonmant.lens @zackenny.lens @supreme_pablo.lens @0x1987.lens @musashi13.lens @dukep.lens
ZOMBIE TIME MUSIC HOUR 🎶 Helicon Descending, NFTs on web 3 Riffs Live Monday on Hypeshot at 8pm EDT
Helicon Descending is a reflection of the fleeting and transient nature of creative inspiration in the absence of divine guidance beyond money and celebrity.
Each song is under a minute long and designed for social media, a commentary on the shift in the art world towards instant gratification and the need for commercial and social media success. Artists struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world where true artistic expression has been redirected towards algorithms guided by the misaligned general intelligence of the market.
The title of the album, Helicon Descending, is a requiem to the muses. While they may have left humanity behind, their inspiration and influence can still be felt, even in the briefest of moments. The songs on this album are a testament to the enduring power of artistic expression and the human spirit, even in a world where inspiration has been replaced by the need for instant gratification and social media success.
Overall, this album represents my own journey in ego dissolution, as an artist in a world that has lost touch with the truest nature of the creative spirit. Through it, I hope to inspire others to reconnect with their truest creativity and to find the inspiration they need to tap into their higher self.
6/9 songs have already dropped and are collectible on Lens.

It’s soft, but not creepy soft.
Sit back, relax, and let the universe do the work.
This is Cosmic Spaghetti, a feminist think piece disguised as an absurdist comedy. Intentionally tacky to reflect a society where copious consumption, exploitation are celebrated, where everything is replaceable.

Zim Teemo presents Rosie & Joe - episode 101 - The Other Side
An introduction into the twisted story-telling of Joe. She is mischievous with a curiosity for the world but frequently misinterprets or embellishes reality. Rosie is a cautious German Shepherd so she’s not very easily fooled, but Joe is persistent if not convincing.
This is our pilot episode written by @zombieshepherd.lens which helped to get us the funding to do the rest of the series. Things get much weirder from here so keep your eyes out for more episodes of Rosie & Joe.
Thanks for #LMCC all of your support helps us in pre-production for our upcoming series.

**A BRIEF HISTORY OF COLOUR WHEELS & COLOUR BLOCKING**
The *colour wheel* is a staple of the visual arts and design, invented by Sir Issac Newton while studying light prisms during the Scientific Revolution. It shows the harmonious relationship between different colours and mirrors the rainbow spectrum (ROYGBIV - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). There are two colour wheels (RYB for physical & RGB for digital).
The concept of *colour blocking*, mixing contrasting colours together, is an artistic style invented
in the 1910’s by Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. Colour blocking gained it’s place on the world stage during the pop art movement of the 1950’s and Mod Fashion, the 1960's fashion movement popularised by British youth. Both processes help create stimulating visuals and are used by both traditional and digital designers as well as graphic designers. These principles can be seen in the #LensAI www.0xlensai.com reactive logo designed by @ri-ch.lens

Excited to announce the highly-requested feature - **video views** 👀 is now live on #Lenstube! This is a basic but important metric for creators to understand how their videos are performing.
For now, you can find the video view count on the video page itself. View count registers start views with deduping logic that prevents users from attempting to inflate view counts. In the future, we'll support additional viewership and engagement metrics so you can better understand popularity and performance.
What other metrics do you want to see for Lenstube?

- I was about to post a full episode of Rosie & Joe but I have to render them all again in a different format 😆 @zombieshepherd.lens
But would you look at that cat gang?
They were in the last R&J clip we posted and made it into two episodes.
Great character design by @gurleenzimteemo.lens
Pay attention for new animations coming from us including Seasoning, Lone Rofl & Sus, extra unplanned content, and some classics from the goodies drawer.
If you'd like to be in the inner circle for Lone Rofl & Sus then you want to be holding one of our FAKE Gotchi cards. We'll be experimenting with crowd sourced decisions in a "choose your adventure" type format on Lens. Fake holders will be brought into pre-production choices as well!
- Fat Fleshy Fingers animated intro
"FAT FLESHY FINGERS is having its WORLD PREMIERE at this year's Film Maudit 2.0! You can watch it LIVE and ONLINE -- for FREE! I am VERY EXCITED! You can tell by all these CAPITAL LETTERS and EXCLAMATION POINTS!
FAT FLESHY FINGERS is an anthology feature made up of all new stories told by alumni of the BizarroLand Film Festival (formerly Sick n Wrong). All the creators are people I love dearly, and I am very proud that this thing is finally making its appearance to the public."
~ Stephen Stull of BizzaroLand FF
@gurleenzimteemo.lens and @zombieshepherd.lens created the animated intro and all of the interstitial animations in the film.
You can think of us as the animated mortar to the bricks of film. The process was very interactive and communicative between teams. This is not just a block of short films lumped together loosely but a shared lore traveling through the world via different perspectives.
We love the work of the other filmmakers and have shared the screen with them quite a few times in festivals but never on the same project. We have also been in Film Maudit 2.0 with Cosmic Spaghetti and Little Creep so we are super excited to be making it there again with our first feature film collaboration.
Fat Fleshy Fingers is FREE to watch and so is the rest of the Film Maudit 2.0 Film Festival.
Please ENJOY and let us know in the comments what you think about it; good, bad and ugly.
If you'd like to further support @ZimTeemo.lens you can collect the intro scene!
There may be further perks as Fat Fleshy Fingers is making its way through the festival route and into the world.
- Rosie & Joe: Cat Gang
Living in New Orleans has taught me you never have to buy a pet, given time, and chance, they will find you.
So, when we had the opportunity to develop an animated series it's no surprise that we drew inspiration from our roster of animals cohabitating with us.
Before there was Rosie & Joe the animated mini series there was Rosie Comic. She was also the co-star of another comic, Privacy. Rosie was an obsession of mine and she found herself in various iterations of my creative pursuits.
Joe, the bug eyed and somewhat sadistic cat is based off Joe "Pamplemouse Laqoix". Her origin story is far more humble, Anthony and I found her in the parking lot of a Walmart. We brought her home and Rosie saw her, wagged her tail, gave her a small lick and that was it, they were best friends.
Rosie passed away in December 2021 and she's missed but Rosie & Joe is a reminder of the impact she had on our lives.

- Life in a Petri Dish
Life lately....coming up for air from a tedious animation job. It seems the last few months have been creatively tough because of an animated commission that seems never ending. I've easily been putting in 8+ hours daily and now I need to temporarily shift focus on some truly creative projects.
I'm working on a few one of one garments and I'll be sharing the full design process here. It's so satisfying making physical objects when the majority of the time I'm working digitally.
stay tuned!!
