College me was so deeply unconcerned with things like "manageable chord progressions" and "spaces to breathe" (lol who needs those). This one's a doozy to play/sing but it's still fun! :)

A sneak peek at one of the new songs I'm working on called "No Man's Land."

Not even a guitar to be seen??? Absurd.

ITS SPOOKY SEASON MY BELOATHEDS!!!

"Tanner's Cottage" is one of my favorite narrative pieces I have ever written. I was listening to "Legend of the Wooley Swamp" by the Charlie Daniels band and losing my MIND over how distinct and clever the lyrics are. It is such a skill to use the *perfect* amount of detail to paint a picture for the listener, while also letting their imagination do the heavy lifting for *le spookies.*

This was my own attempt at writing a spooky ballad and mimicking that impact in lyric choices--because there is nothing scarier (to me) than a Human Gone Wrong...

Ummmmm yes hello my fellow tumblrinas long time no post!

My name is Argiope, and while I have been Lurking on this infernal hellsite for almost a decade now (ish???? time is fake), it is finally time for me to make a blog of my Very Own!!

I write music. A lot of it. (Lyric bunnies have taken my synapses as their personal nesting down so now I make you all suffer with me etc. etc.). I most enjoy writing music that tells a story, or uses an interesting turn of phrase to strike at an old idea. And I have finally, at long last, released my VERY FIRST (baby) album on Spotify and iTunes and all of the places!!!!!!!

The album is called "Invocation," and it examines grief and the process of unmaking and knitting oneself back together through the lens of various classical figures from Greek/Roman mythology. If you're interested in the ramblings of a classical philologist with a profound love of words, music, and making Vergil roll in his slutty, slutty grave, you can check out the album here!
