Sobakka - Jam

This is the second to last track of Fluff's third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. https://open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc

We distract ourselves with meaningless noise, money and a selfish desire for 'me'. We don't realise how the skeletons in our closets, the hate and separation we breed and nurture, slowly erodes togetherness, fairness and community, while at the same time builds up to a big explosion, which probably none of us will get out of alive.

LYRICS:

The day was meaningless 
TV the usual mess
We had our toys and games and
Lots of noise and lots of noise

Do not appreciate 
Don’t give before you take 
What’s in it for me
And where is my money

This is out of control
We are out of control

I deserve
All this is mine
This is meant to be my time
Guilt reflects in our eyes
We didn’t get to say goodbye 

How did it turn so fast
I guess we didn’t last
Filling our closets 
With the ghosts and shadows
From the past

This is out of control
We are out of control

Looming up there all this time 
Pretending to be stars
Those lights now dripping from the sky
Like candle wax held to the fire

Explicit lyrics:
Felt like almost dead, would you carry me home, would you lay me down?
Felt like shit again, would you bring my pills? do you know how it feels?

i don't know where to go...is this the end? i don't know!
From the tip of my head...till my toes, is this hell and heaven's above?

is there a free ride or a lottary prize? to win to lose on an XL size?
crappy or not, time will show...all i know is heaven's above!

I don't wanna buy a lotta food
i don't wanna get rid the booze
i don't wanna buy an SUV
i don't wanna get fatold and get peed

i don't wanna watch the news
i don't wanna get dirty with tools
i don't wanna smell your farts
i don't wanna mess around with you fatfucks!

Summer Tram - with Francesco Cartocci

Sea Mother

PS Perkins: Guitars, bass, lyre, vocals
Ron Thomas: Autoharps, Drums

Production notes:
---------------------------------------------
Very early on we wanted to use autoharps on this song to create a sort of swirling backdrop, reminiscent of the harps in Indian/Bollywood soundtrack songs of the seventies.

Right away there were challenges because the song is in B flat and is not wholly diatonic to begin with, utilizing a chord built on the augmented lydian scale in the choruses. So rather than transpose the song to a more amenable key (since the chromatic bits weren't going to work no matter what key we used) we instead re-tuned the autoharp. Moving through the strings one by one we tuned them either up or down a half step where applicable to bring them into key. Where the augmented chord hit in the choruses, we excluded those notes so that the autoharp was filling the diatonic parts of the chords and omitting the accidentals. It took us several tries to get it right. In the end we arrived at a chord progression that could be strummed on the autoharp and the modified chords could be played with existing dampers.

We also tuned the lyre so that the top half of the strings included the chromatic augmented notes while the lower register of the lyre was tuned using the diatonic, so the lyre could play the melody all the way through both parts of the song.

The inspiration for this song was essentially fourfold:
--------------------------------------------------------
First, H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying necromancer Joseph Curwen (from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward") who masked his true identity in order to thwart suspicion from his fellow townsfolk. He has many secrets lurking in his underground catacombs where he performs acts of necromancy most foul, extracting the "salts" of the dead in order to raise them at will and learn the secrets of ancient eldritch deities.

Second, a poem by Rudyard Kipling titled "En-Dor" which was a warning against the rise of spiritualism and the cost of communion with the dead in the early 20th century.

Third, the biblical Saul who traveled in disguise to visit a witch at the city of Endor in order to summon Samuel from the dead and garner advice on defeating the Philistines, but who only prophesies doom for Saul. Saul dies later the next day in the battle of Gilboa.

Lastly, the story of Odysseus communing with the underworld where he enlists the help of Tiresias to have a chat with the dead and secure for himself a safe journey home.

They all seek communion with the dead for one purpose: to gain knowledge which only those who have crossed over between realms might possess. 

Lyrics:
-------------------------------------
A mask may reveal what it’s meant to conceal
From those who are standing beside us
Armor of pride, so we learn to abide
By the monsters which hide deep inside us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us
Oh, how they scratch and they bite us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us

Only to know what the professor knows

Eating black bread, wearing clothes of the dead
The soil soaked in honey around us
For fear if we failed, leave the ogre unveiled
And it’s back in the grave where they found us
Back in the grave where they found us
Freed from the ties which had bound us
Back in the grave where they found us

Only to know what the professor knows

In the catacomb vaults, we extracted the salts
From cadavers to lengthen our youth
Chanting the names at the edge of the flames
And a mirror to show us the truth
A mirror which speaks only truth
See how it seeks not to soothe
A mirror which speaks only truth

Only to know what the professor knows

In the underworld maze, in the night of no days
Concocting the plan we’re devising
Much to endure on the road to En-Dor
And to snatch from Elohim arising
To snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising

Solitude Quartet is an expressive and multi-layered composition, premiered by the Silesian String Quartet and vocalist Iga Kozacka. Commissioned by NOSPR, this piece is a reflection of the pandemic period and the suspended state of existence it brought, immersing listeners in three distinct emotional realms – frozen moments of introspection and longing.

The work opens with the solo string section in Inferno (Piekło), a movement characterized by rhythmic repetition that evokes the torment of days blending into one another. The piece then transitions to Cleansing (Oczyszczenie), where the music shifts, incorporating a voice that echoes themes of purification and resilience. In this section, the music alternates between English and Polish to enhance the aural texture, matching the nuances of language to the musical narrative.

The final movement, Absolution (Rozgrzeszenie), culminates in an emotionally charged journey, blending acoustic and electroacoustic elements to illustrate a catharsis that is both personal and collective. The movement captures the perseverance and the longing for resolution, concluding with a powerful portrayal of release and acceptance.

Originally planned for a 2021 premiere but delayed due to the pandemic, Solitude Quartet is dedication to the Silesian String Quartet. Premiered at NOSPR, Katowice, Poland  during by Silesian String Quartet and Iga Kozacka.

"When Weapons Fall Silent", commissioned by the Harmonie i Halasy Foundation, draws inspiration from President Zelenskyy's reflections on the silence following conflict. The work explores the charged atmosphere of paused hostilities through minimal, repetitive patterns that gradually build tension.
Percussion drives the narrative, with distant rhythmic motifs echoing like memories of conflict while creating an unsettling ambient landscape. These patterns interweave with sustained orchestral textures, building layers of intensity that mirror the complex emotions of fragile peace.
The persistent rhythmic elements and growing orchestral density create an atmosphere of mounting pressure, reflecting the precarious nature of cease-fires and the weight of uncertainty. The work invites contemplation of the charged silence in the wake of violence, and the collective breath held by those who dare to hope for lasting peace.

Thousand years have passed and my memories come back, it was the time of knight of the fortresses and minstrels" from the future we change the past Artificial Intelligences kills the creative souls of humanity  " HERE NO AI " "MUSIQUE COSMOLOGIQUE". Experimental improvisation laboratory since 2007 "Cosmosonic Music"  Art finds its strength in repression and constraints"  SOUND CREATION.  Original electronic keyboard, continuous creative activity  "Uzeste  New Aquitaine FRANCE"...  Nous vaincrons ensemble le doute, tous nos fantômes de mort et de peur n'y pourront rien, nous sommes chevaliers de la Terre et chevauchons les mondes imbriqués l'un dans l'autre.
D'un univers sans fin à un monde solide, d'une cage de feu à un nuage heureux, le passage étroit jouxte la lumière de la nuit obscure. Force de renoncement à tout, espace intime et infime de la vie.
La musique est lumière dans les ténèbres, tout est vibration, la fin est mot ou le nom d'une porte, même les murs de la plus dure des pierres sont des voiles légers pour l'âme sur l'étincelle de vie. "original sound paintings " .We shall overcome together the doubt, all our ghosts of death and fear will do nothing there, we are knights of the Earth and are astride the imbricated worlds one in the other.
Of an endless universe to a solid world, a cage of fire in a happy cloud, the narrow passage adjoins the light of the dark night. Strength of renunciation of everything, intimate and tiny space of the life.
The music is light in the darkness, everything is vibration, the end is word or the name of a door, even the walls of the hardest some stones are veil light for the soul on the spark of life..  
"Thanks to the Earth and the Nature for all their benefactions " see you soon, I wait for you, I am your consciousness, I am the happy being, the one who grows and forms in the wet clay of infinite times, in the wind of the storms where the grace of the thick spell of the blue waves carries the brightness. "  " remerciements à la Terre et la Nature pour tout leurs bienfaits "A bientôt, je vous attends, je suis votre conscience, je suis l’être heureux, celui qui pousse et germe dans la glaise humide des temps infinis, dans le vent des tempêtes où la grâce de l’épais sortilège des vagues bleues porte la clarté."
