Migraine In Me Brain

This is a song that started with Ian (IPG1 aka Lou) and his amazing vocal stem, of which I really identify with the lyrics. He has a plethora of vocal stems, so if you're interested in making a hip hop song, you did hit him up. He shared this psychiatrist l particular one with Tez (Llanpsych), who put a beat and guitar on it. Tez then sent it to me, and I added the bass and the synth. Then Tez put the solo part in there along with the effects. he mixed and produced it, and an excellent job he always does, too. This is my first foray into making hip hop, though I've listened to plenty. Hopefully there will be more to come.

Purple Microdot (with IPG1 aka Lou, and Llanpsych)

Truly an honor once again to feature Jorg Joerxworx on track.  He always seem to have the missing piece to the puzzle.  Recently sent him a request asking him to do his thing on this track, and man did he deliver. Jorg is a very talented musician who plays a variety of instruments, including the Tenor sax, which I was fortunate enough to have him grace this track with. Thank you Jorg!

Enjoy!

Dreaming Of You

Dreaming Of You (Remastered)

Kirk (Kirk's Trax on SC https://soundcloud.com/kirk-evans-604267716) has created some wonderful compositions which I discovered recently. A few e-mails were exchanged, ideas were explored, and a process was set into motion, all leading to the smooth jazz song that is presented here - Love Is.  

My starting point for inquiring about collaborations is simply the answer to the question, "Does the music make me feel like singing?"  Kirk's music ticked that box and so we began the process of getting to know each other, and learning to trust each other's sense of next steps.  I asked about Smoke Rings (https://soundcloud.com/kirk-evans-604267716/smokerings) as a song I'd like to explore vocals and lyrics with. Kirk sent a pre-mixed lo-res file for me to do what I do: hear how it needs to go for a vocal-friendly structure. So, after a little cut and paste and adding some vocal melody ideas, I sent a mix to Kirk. At this point, you never know what the other musician's reaction is going to be, so you have to be prepared for the plug to be pulled after a, "What did you do to my perfectly good song?" reaction.  I was pleasantly surprised that Kirk wanted to work on his bed tracks and facilitate a smoother final integration of voice and music. So, he edited his original tracks and sent along individual instrument tracks, which I placed into my working file, with additional instrumental flourishes and a vocal from me resulting in the song below. This is just another example of the joy and work involved in a collaboration. The joy is hearing a song through someone else's eyes (or ears). The work is finding a pathway that is agreeable to everyone involved, and going through iteration after iteration so everyone is satisfied and pleased with the result. Kirk was easy to work with, and that always bodes well :)

The lyrics, which usually, for me, come from an open mic, pressing record as the song plays, and trusting that intuition to get the ball rolling. The final form is seldom far off the mark from the original improvisation, and that was the case here. Once the vocal melody was established, the form of the message was relatively easy - 2 verses, each with a focus on a three-syllable rhythm to demonstrate the contrasting qualities of Love (Elusive and Effusive - I love alliteration). 

* note - the art for the song reflects the elusive quality  as a scrabble tile game of chance, while the roses in the background relate to the effusive quality of romantic expressions ;)

Smoke rings, the instrumental, became, Love Is - a lounge lizard,  crooner song. 

Kirk Evans - music
Terry Wigmore - additional synth, strings, lyrics, vocals and production.

 Lyrics:

V1
Oh love, love is so elusive,
So hard to see in a heart,
that's been battered and bruised by the dark

Oh love, love is so elusive,
Like water that flows through your fingers then  it's gone,
All gone, all gone

Instrumental

V2
Oh, love, love is so effusive,
It can bubble and glow
doesn't care who knows,
Playfully smitten, carefree and driven

Oh love, love is so effusive
It begins to take hold and won't ever let go
Of your heart -

Love Is

Another track inspired by "The Wake", a post apocalyptic novel by Paul Kingsnorth.

Buccmaster and his friends visit a village untouched by the Norman invasion. They participate in a village celebration, which Buccmaster looks back on as the very last joyful day. Even so, everyone there fears for the future.

I used my Flamenco guitar again... but economically, my early versions were too Iberian!

Collapsing Stars

Challenge was to make one of my shorter songs with one of my longer lyrics, so I 'had' to craft it into an amalgam of 9/4 and 4/4 signatures. Thus, it may feel crazy on verses but I hope also catchy on refrains.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

Sólo pido no tener deseos (Ya no quiero imaginar)  /  I ask only not to have desires (I don’t want to imagine anymore)

¿Puedes explicarme qué es lo que me pasa?  /  Can you tell me what happens to me?
Señor, llévate de mí esta confusión.  /  Lord, take away this confusion.
Quítame el don de la inteligencia,  /  Take the gift of intelligence from me,
pues si no pensara tanto, sería feliz.  /  because if I didn’t think so much, I would be happy.

Siento que este mundo me es extraño,  /  I feel this world is strange,
estoy a disgusto con mis sentidos.  /  I get displeasure from my senses.
No puedo comprender su funcionamiento,  /  I cannot understand their functioning,
ni siquiera amoldarme a él.  /  nor even get used to it.

Sólo pido no tener deseos,  /  I ask only not to have desires,
ya no quiero imaginarme nada.  /  I don’t want to imagine anything anymore.

Esta situación siempre es pasajera,  /  This situation is always temporary,
pero se repite una y otra vez.  /  but repeats itself again and again.
Este malestar de cuerpo y alma  /  This discomfort of soul and body
me hace desear dejar de ser.  /  makes me wish to stop being.  

Pienso entonces en todos los que me quieren,  /  Then I think of all those who love me,
o al menos en los que a veces lo parecen…  /  or at least about those who sometimes seem to…
¿Por qué es tan difícil la coexistencia  /  Why is coexistence so difficult
en medio de una sociedad inteligente?  /  in an intelligent society?

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…

No deberías dejar pensar a algo imperfecto,  /  You should not allow something imperfect to think,
sino limitarlo a cumplir su función social.  /  but limit it to fulfilling its social role.
Sólo quiero ser un engranaje más, señor,  /  I only want to be one more cog, Lord,
en tu rebaño de almas, sin preguntas.  /  in your flock of souls, without questions.

Esta vida que me has dado, señor,  /  This life you have given me, Lord,
me tortura, de modos insospechados,  /  tortures me, in unsuspected manners,
a buscarle un sentido a mis dudas,  /  to look for a sense to my doubts,
lo cual, tal vez, sea precisamente su fin!  /  which, maybe, is precisely its purpose!

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…
