More for Your Muse: Mother Falcon

Mother Falcon is a large ensemble chamber-rock band from Austin, Texas. They’re known for their collaborative songwriting and it’s clear in their music that each member of the band loves what they’re playing as they’ve all added ingredients to the pie, so to speak. The instruments used are strings, horns, guitars, and percussion, which are led […]

Write To: “haunted dreams” by magthree

I say dangerous because these are not pleasant, hum-along tracks but rather bouts of intense percussion, strings, and electronic pounding that should be used cautiously in your car, […]

I have a particular love for rain; I love that it gives me an excuse to stay inside and how it puts me in a creative mood, possibly because the tapping on my window reinforces my feeling that, though I should stay inside I should still be productive, or perhaps it’s because of old movies where writers […]
