Walt Ehresman/Snipe Hunt
Seditious tunes from the Austin band Snipe Hunt, and from its founder Walter Ehresman, reminding you that the emperor has no clothes. It ain't pretty, but ya gotta look.
WALTER EHRESMAN: Monkey Paw Situation
A winding journey from left-field Americana roots to Brit hard rock ballad circa 1973; from electronica/exotica hybrid to singer/songwriter piano piece; from high-energy electronic dance freak-outs to spoken-word avant-garde; from delicacy to piledriver.
CD price: $12.97 / MP3 price: $9.99
WALTER EHRESMAN: The A.D.G. Project
Dark ambient soundscapes using highly-processed electric bouzouki, sitar, theremin and oud. Exotic trance for going to the Deep Places. A snorkel won't help you.

WALTER EHRESMAN: March, Scream or Cry
Music for freaky Burning Man parades, protest songs that scream into the night, songs of love and death, and a reggae song about the importance of Dude Elimination. Oh, and a dirty penguin song.
