This song seems to have a calming healing effect on me.

Peace comin' in through the door. You are so welcome!

Calm & Steady series

- short tracks of dance music

All tracks were uploaded between 11/2020 and 03/2021, almost all in 2021 and many within the past month, with the following older exceptions:
. . - Wack-Attack! "Plodt"(#20): 7 years,
. . - Eyes On You (Anjey Sarnawski - Blooming ...Future)(#2): 12 - 23 months,
. . - gnrnrg "Wisconsin (Lost Microdot Version)"(#19): 12 - 23 months,
. . - HoshiMusikDesign (Tungevaag & Raaba)(#8): 10 months,
. . - Mac Woodruff "Myrtle"(#4): 9 months,
. . - Dices (Square Fauna - Otliv)(#3): 7 months.

The other series (short tracks) so far are:
- "Hard-Fast-or-Nasty" (more intense/abrasive)
- "MiddleLane", and "Superdance" (the middle, or ambivalence)
- "Funky-Dub-Trap" (terminology conundrum)
- "Fantaisies" (for professional dancers only)
- "Minimal"
- "Dark"
- "BreakB-Jungle-DnB"

There is little overlap between them, mostly between: *
. . A) MiddleLane, Superdance
and
. . B) all other series

* Increasingly there is some overlap between "Calm & Steady" and "Funky-Dub-Trap", and between a bunch of others (Dark, Minimal, ...). I'm trying to keep it to the minimum, the overlap, tracks finding themselves in more than one playlist

   •   Se mantuvo 4 semanas en el nº 1 en EE.UU. y lideró rankings en múltiples países (Reino Unido, Alemania, Canadá).
   •   Fue el primer sencillo del álbum …But Seriously, que marcó un giro más serio en la carrera de Collins, alejándose del pop ligero hacia temáticas sociales.
   •   El videoclip, dirigido por Jim Yukich, mostraba imágenes urbanas con escenas de personas en situación de calle, reforzando el mensaje social.

🧑‍🎤 Biografía y Significado

Phil Collins (n. 1951, Londres), ya famoso como baterista y cantante de Genesis y como solista en los 80, compuso esta canción inspirado por la creciente crisis de personas sin hogar en Londres y EE.UU. en los años 80.

El tema describe a un hombre que, al ver a una mujer pidiendo ayuda en la calle, elige ignorarla y seguir su camino. El mensaje central es la indiferencia social hacia los más vulnerables:
   •   “Es solo otro día en el paraíso” es una ironía amarga, denunciando cómo se normaliza la desigualdad.
   •   Fue la primera canción de Collins en abordar de forma tan explícita un problema social.

⸻

🌍 Impacto y Legado
   •   Se convirtió en una de las canciones más reconocibles de Phil Collins y un himno de conciencia social en la música pop.
   •   Fue versionada por varios artistas, entre ellos Brandy y Ray J (2001), cuya interpretación también alcanzó gran popularidad.
   •   Hoy sigue siendo considerada una de las canciones más importantes en el repertorio de Collins, y suele abrir debates sobre el papel de la música pop en la crítica social.

Phil Collins logra con una letra simple y repetitiva transmitir una idea demoledora: la indiferencia es tan violenta como la pobreza misma. La canción no busca contar una historia extensa, sino retratar un instante que expone un problema universal.

Epiphyite

Epiphyite (Space Scavengers Rmx) [Superordinate Dub Waves]

Dub Texture

I hear the planet sing as it plummets into a sonorous darkness, a strange uncertainty laced with interferences; white noise, brown noise, red noise, all the noises, in a tangible distortion, like every sound I have ever heard pushed through one hundred distortion pedals at once. 

The stars hum in a low mussitation, distinguishable against the rhoncus rattle of people, places and things in a rising and falling glissando of sleepy and awake. The muffled cacophony of breath against breath, whistling, singing, mirrored in the whispering trees. These eolian instruments invoke a doppler effect as we rotate around each other, my binaural perception altered by every movement, becoming boomy, then tinny, then zing. I never knew I could orchestrate with trees. Then just as I am wrapped entirely in a sonic envelope of frequencies, I locate a rhythm of heartbeats and hoofbeats, the pulsing paradiddle of further resounding aliveness. 

I feel the compression closing in all around me, attenuating, boosting, clamping, I grasp for some dynamic headroom to make sense, to find closure, to resolve, to normalise. But there is nothing but the tintinnabulation of bells, beautiful shimmering chimes, in the distance somewhere over there, as they have always been. 

And in the fury and clamour I realise that when it goes dark the lights come on. This is the essence of ‘Glowball,’ a three track sonic pilgrimage on meditations with a Microkorg in times of global weirdness.

Hypnagogia

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
