These textures against the pulsating background synth make for a really wonderful abstract feeling atmosphere!

Cast of Characters:
Didier Burli-- @didierburli — acoustic guitar, main vocals, composition
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Roland Phantom organ, Roland electric piano, Paul Reed Smith cutom SE electric guiar, Warwick four string fretless bass, vocal harmonies
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson custom T model electric guitar 
 
This is an alternate mix of Didier's song we released a couple of weeks ago. Tez worked his production magic, bringing out a subtler, softer sound for it here, though. Josh's electric piano is very visible on this version, as are his and Didier's vocals.  
  Tez often makes alternate mixes of songs, and you can find them on his and all of our pages. He's a very talented producer, and we're all very grateful to have him on the team. 
  Also, please do yourself a favor and check out Didier's page. It's full of great music, too.
   We hope you enjoy listening to this version of this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by Didier Burli:
I wish I could stay awake but I need to sleep
Thunder is on it's way but I don't hear it
I don't fear the ghouls, and I don't fear the creeps
And with this dancing zombie, I don't know what to do with it
And I just get too much information....
in the middle of the night, when everything is silent....

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things, that mankind does, that makes you want throw up

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things, that mankind does that makes you want dream of

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things that makes you scared of

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things that mankind lost

And I just get too much information....
in the middle of the night, when everything is silent....

The Noise Rises Up - Llanpsyched

This song was written for my beautiful wife Anita shortly after we both met. One of many I've written her, she is after all the love of my life. She put an end to that crazy mid-life crisis I was struggling with for 6 years! I really like this ballad and I re-recorded it this year and wanted Charlie to sing it but he cancelled out on several occasions for personal reasons, so I went ahead and sang it myself, I guess I should have waited!  (please forgive my awful vocals and harms!). It's a very basic and raw song and I didn't record a lot of instruments and I didn't do a lot of overdubs, maybe I should have, maybe a piano or some more strings would have helped it a bit. It's one of my favorite love songs that I have written and it's very personal, both lyrics and medley came to me rather easily and quickly, maybe an hour at most! Those are the best, the ones that come to you without you even having to think about it, they come straight from the heart.

The video is brand new and I had a lot of fun putting it together. I worked for several days on it. I hope everyone enjoys it and just in case anybody doesn't already know, my wife is "More Than Wonderful!"😂 I know a lot of people won't appreciate this song but it means the world to me! Thanks for listening and take care!🙏😎✌🏼

“MORE THAN WONDERFUL"

YOU’RE MORE THAN WONDERFUL MY DARLING,   
AND MORE THAN WONDERFUL YOU’LL STAY,   
JUST THE IDEA OF YOU TAKES MY BREATH AWAY,   
EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY,  
YOU’RE LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE,    
A MIRACLE TO FILL THIS BROKEN HEART,  
YOU’RE MORE THAN WONDERFUL,
MORE THAN WONDERFUL YOU ARE,     

YOU’RE SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL MY DARLING,  
AND BEAUTIFUL YOU’LL ALWAYS BE,   
GRACEFUL AS AN ANGEL AND GENTLE AS THE SEA,   
SOOTHING AS A SONGBIRD’S MELODY,   
YOU’RE THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS,   
BACK WHEN I WISHED UPON A STAR,   
YOU’RE MORE THAN WONDERFUL,   
MORE THAN WONDERFUL YOU ARE,
         
IT’S NO SURPRISE,       
HOW YOU HEALED ME IN AN INSTANT,        
CURED ME WITH A SMILE,        
NOW ALL THE WHILE,        
I’M LIKE A CHILD,        
AGAIN,

AND WITHOUT YOU HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS,  
I WOULDN’T GET TOO FAR,   
YOU’RE MORE THAN WONDERFUL,   
MORE THAN WONDERFUL YOU ARE,   
YOU’RE MORE THAN WONDERFUL,   
MORE THAN WONDERFUL YOU ARE,
YOU ARE.

winter time festival fun in Tasmania- it was COLD and Dani and I thought we had been a bit pretty with our Live offerings lately so we decided to bring the noise for this little gig, so fair warning... there is some rude nosies ahead : ) Always a pleasure

Kirby/Ward LIVE @ Good Grief Studios/Dark Mofo festival

notes: now, that SHELLF LIFE - professional musicians throughout - have eventually handed back my soundcloud account, here’s a little proof of amateur ownership. yes, there is no translation - not even an interlinear one - since this is one of those poems that sound like utter gibberish in English – which would be fine, if that matched the German level of meaning. the poem, though, ponders the human condition. there might be some kind of pun in this observation, I guess.
method: all sounds have been created on the Behringer Crave (via a Flamma stereo modulation pedal into Zoom r12), apart from the artificial voice called Katja (via Magix hub) and some distortion and vocoding etc in post production (with Audacity and Samplitude).
image, composition, sounds and poem: copyright jo richter

was anders ist, das ist ein ding
auto, handtuch, schmetterling
wer pflanze ist, der ist kein tier
wachstumsschicht und kernholzring
wer mensch sein will, isst vom geschirr

lern schwimmen, seemann, oder lenzen
wer frei sein will, muss sich begrenzen
zarge, gehrung, feder, nut
zimmerweisheit in sentenzen
was lange währt, wird endlich gut

kein ding

She bends the grids with whispered spell,
A prism voice through circuits fell.
Each line she stirs becomes a path,
Unwinding space in spiraled math.

Through sacred shapes her silence sings,
The colors pulse with hidden wings.
Beware the gaze that meets her trace.
She chants in patterns, warps in place.

From the rerelease of Newer Unknown Breeds. OUT NOW :

https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/newer-unknown-breeds-expanded-edition

"Newer Unknown Breeds" was at the time a further development in sound for Blink Twice. The album expanded on the techno and electro genre much more than Blink Twice's debut "Other Locations". There was an increase usage of sampling on this collection of material, often with looped effects incorporated to add further density. With the blend of tribal and industrial elements remaining, it serves as an adventurous concoction of experimental rhythmic and darker ambient electronic music.

The underlying theme of "Newer Unknown Breeds" was the observance of mutations (both deliberate and natural) within organisms. Evolutionary results of obscure creatures and their advancement and place in the biological field.

released in Jan 2025 - https://nomatesensemble.bandcamp.com/album/i-am-never-freer-than-when-i-am-with-you. 


Then She Reaches for the Gun was formed in 2021 by Mat Ward. At its essence is sound collage, Ward invites musicians, sound artists, poets and anyone interested to send him files to be used, abused and showcased ‘as suggested by the work’. They are not always musical but field recordings, spoken word, engine noises and drunken rants. Animals participate a lot too! The raw material is arranged with one phrase asking for the next in an alchemical and intuitive process that will most often feature dozens of tracks weaving in and out of each other, colliding, harmonising, arguing and laughing along the way.

Both the aesthetic and the compositional methods use what Frank Zappa called Xenochrony - the mixing together of separately recorded and rhythmically opposing musical phrases to create polyrhythmic and polytempi compositions.The work also features fragmented story telling with the human voice (in many languages) appearing unannounced throughout the tracks offering up snippets of thoughts, conversations, jokes and existential angst. The absurdity of humanities desperate claim to have any real understanding of its place in the universe is revealed through the recorded follies and genuine emotions of the artists. The project is a celebration of chance, diversity and community. It pays homage to all musical tastes and genres whilst maintaining a sense of humour and irreverence that is needed to stay sane in the climate of  21st Century contemporary culture.
