Music & Audio

Ashley Altadonna - A Minor Requiem

A song I wrote during lockdown during the darkest and loneliest days of the pandemic. This track was featured on WUWM’s Lake Effect’s Milwaukee Music Roundup. Additional vocals and musical assistance by joshua and emily hensley of the rutabega.

The Glacial Speed - Black Maria

A song about America’s first film studio. Thomas Edison’s Black Maria was set on a rotating platform with a retractable roof that allowed filming with natural light. Many of Edison’s early kinetoscope films were shot there.

The Glacial Speed - Yearbook Portrait Photographer

A simple story about artistic ambition and missing the importance that one’s work may hold for others.

Vacancy Chain - Loblolly

A song about the expectations, realities, and regrets of adulthood.

Situations - Alison (Elvis Costello Cover)

Part of a monthly covers contest, I did this Elvis Costello song in the style of Bob Dylan.

Situations - Isn’t It A Pity (George Harrison Cover)

Another cover, this time a fairly straightforward version of the George Harrison classic.

Tool Shed Podcast

This was the initial trial run of a podcast that never came to be, (though I still think would have been fun). Tool Shed Sexual Health & Wellness Educators, Ashley Altadonna, Lyndzi Miller, Lucky Tomaszek, and Chris Wilde discuss the variety of personal massagers, care and cleaning, and what to consider when choosing a vibrator.

I recorded, edited and produced the episode.

Tool Shed Trailer Theme

A short backing track I wrote/recorded for a Tool Shed trailer made for the 30th anniversary of the Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival. My first time playing the ukelele.
