The rare keyboard improvisation. Recorded in Ponta do Sol, Cabo Verde, West Africa. Starts sort of chaotic but resolves into something more peaceful and clear.

This song was seeded by wonderful UK artist Walker and a chat we had on a previous track. Thanks a mill buddy 🫡


Tuning 432Hz A
Frequency Focus 963Hz
(Sine wave B6 & Tuning Fork)
Tempo 963bpm
Timing 32/1

The 963bpm is an attempt to get the rhythm resonant with the tuning and frequency in focus... Hertz=Wave cycles per second so should align them given BPM is aligned to a minute making them divisable or at some level, in harmony with one another.

The lyrics were built after absorbing these two videos, I avoided the speculative ones for now:

Also big thanks to Valerio and Mary from Beating Edge for their valuable input. They are experts in brain stuff when they are not showing us how it's done with music! 🎵 🧠

The Pineal Gland

Circadian rhythms
Put me to sleep
As I close these eyes
Dream diurnal relief
Reset the reason drenched in this brain
New light will come soon
More chance of sane
First we must wire head PC with sub stitch
Asleep time for rewire taht mind cannot glitch
Carve those fine memories into this grey matter
Create more unknown while I've stoppe dthe chatter

Some say third eye
Activation of God
Good symmetry bind
Truth, give us a nod

Immense melatonin
Good chemist head sand
Your team has this god like lone pineal gland
It doesn't take sides
There's no left and right
;Takes symmetrical rhythm
Center dark
Center light
Drug dealer of head
It distributes best
Discernment of nature
When to wake or rest
The morning is near
Head pharmacy pause
Here comes the Sun
Day ' effect new cause

Some say third eye
Activation of God
Good symmetry bind
Truth, give us a nod

Light paints the retina
Fill optic nerve
Through axons to clock of biological verve
Like super charismatic neucleus send
To superior cervical ganglion tend
Noradrenaline levels scened trigger for conscious
Rhythmic regulation for body of honest
Direct connection
SCG chemist hand
To centered head
Fine Pineal Gland

Some say third eye
Activation of God
Good symmetry bind
Truth, give us a nod

As I mentioned in another recent song post, @dough-factory and I have collaborated on a bunch of music in years past. This is the second recent song from us, eventually to be included on an upcoming album. 

Ryan came up with the original drums and bass seed of this song, sent it to me and I laid down some guitar and synth. He then arranged the pieces and added a killer vocal track. He also gets credit for the production work on this one. Thanks for listening, friends!

when the waves of silence break
on the dharma nomad's sitting mind
the daylight sleeper's nagual wakes
for a body of the idle kind

that speaks in riddles, muted rhymes
and labrythene paths of jesting Joyce
where assonance stands guard and chimes
in onomatopoeic trysts

for rivers run and waters foam
and dogs are dogs of many heads
no dwellings last where prospects roam
and liquid hope permits no rest

and the knowledge of the miserly
cannot withstand the yearly flooding force
and can and will and is not allowed to atrophy
as long as eight blurred legs still make a horse

ah burning barnacles to make light
of tonal drylands and bold vertebrates
bridges? yes, bridges burn for ashes' flight
and sparks and bioluminosity and microtonal clefs

for those who walk the open scalar fields
have guns that glow and minds to blow
for those who raft down rapid vector creeks
having dreams to grow and seeds to sow -

Vector Creek

Part 4 of the final track of Then She Reaches For The Gun's 2nd Album
released in Jan 2025 - nomatesensemble.bandcamp.com/album/i-am…m-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.
