the Mind series are dedicated to ambient with a sniff of angst

Mind 8

hypnotic amnesia

P a b l o presented me this ambient drone titled "lost souls" for me to experiment on. In Belgium we're facing our third covid lockdown in one year. Help organizations worldwide are reporting alarming numbers of domestic violence and abuse due to lockdown. Lost Souls immediately became Trapped Souls in my head. I tried to evoke such disturbing situations through sound. It was an emotional rollercoaster. Anyhow, this is the result.

Gruppo Infernal + P a b l o _ Trapped Souls

“Winter Garden” is a piece that Paulo Chagas initiated and I responded to to bookend our album, “Wild Rose, Winter Garden.”

We invite you to hear the layers of sounds that Paulo made using prepared piano, Tibetan bowels, a mark tree (chime tree) and my Mosesa13.

We hope that you enjoy the piece!

Lyrics


Oh I need ya baby
Like the corn need the sun
I need you and you know
It’s true

Without you sunshine
I’d be so glum
It’d be all misery and heartbreak
Without you

And that smile
It lifts me up
It satisfies 
My restless soul

Oh God help me
When you prance and saunter
My poor heart beats so fast
I’m afraid it might falter 

When the good lord in heaven
Sat down to create you
The angles must have gathered around

To gaze in stunned wonder
At the beauty he sundered 
From this medium of flesh and bone

I can’t leave you alone
I’ve got no choice
There ain’t anything else
In this world that would do

I love you woman
And I ain’t no fool
I will not be parted
From this precious jewel

Oh I need ya baby
Like the corn need the sun
I need you and you know
It’s true

Without you sunshine
I’d be so glum
It’d be all misery and heartbreak
About you

And that smile
It lifts me up
It satisfies 
My restless soul

Oh God help me
When you prance and saunter
My poor heart beats so fast
I’m afraid it might stop

A place for sound freaks lashing out from the dark. 

So there's all kinds of stuff on this page, but after months of schizophrenic debates about who was playing with who and who took the lead while doing it, finally, the decision was made: all my alter egos got together and decided to form a band. From 2020 on new tracks are created under the moniker Gruppo Infernal. Only pure MMTJ tracks will still be named as such. 

Gruppo Infernal still relies on my work as Me, my Thumb and Jack, an ongoing quest for a liberating approach to sound creation where the human body acts as an oscillator amplifying the natural 50hz hum. Direct live recording, improvisations and delay loops only using analog filters and effects. No editing, no overdubs. Gruppo Infernal adds digital treatment to this original sound material. 

UnterPitch was an alter ego using samples & synths.
Bleached Coffins was a one-off project using guitars.

earliest work when I was still a pup:
