MAYAN YOURS Where are the duds? Where are the wannabes? Where are the bombs waiting for history? Send in the clowns Artillery rounds for free Selling the psalms Selling the rosary Infinity breaks and bake yellow cakes for me Another collapse Another sobriety Mayan yours Ours Mayan yours Mayan yours Ours Mayan yours I have crossed a million stars I have crossed a million stars Waiting on the wonder Waiting on the wonder have crossed a million stars Waiting on the wonder Waiting on the wonder Mayan yours Ours Mayan yours Mayan yours Ours Mayan yours Where are the duds?

I Dry Gin 02:28
I DRY GIN In the morning I dry gin In the mornings you won't let me in And in the mornings I dry out And forget what we were all about And no one's winning for now Like every one is swimming to drown And in the middle of the night When the bottle don't put up a fight And in the middle of the room That's spinning like a well worn tomb And sober's winning for now But no one's singing along Like everyone else drifting alone And in the morning I dry gin When I beg the morning to begin © 2014 Mikel Rouse All rights reserved Published by Club Soda Music (ASCAP)

about

This is the latest 'single' installment from a soon to be announced 13 hour installation entitled 'One Boy's Day'. While music will be edited and refined during this 2-3 year process, I thought it might be interesting to take advantage of new digital distribution methods and offer a glimpse into the creation process.

'Mayan Yours' uses hand claps recorded at the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza, Mexico. The handclaps record precise 7 beat delays embedded into the original architecture of the building structures. This acoustic phenomenon was only recently discovered by NASA scientists years after the ruins were rebuilt.

The B Side 'I Dry Gin' celebrates the pleasures and perils of drink and is dedicated to Andrew Rose Gregory.

More singles will become available through 2013-15. This single is available in 96kHz/24 Bit resolution.
