This is my first track working with my new hardware synth, the Arturia Microfreak! It's my second major synth purchase, and it has lots of interesting routing capabilities(a bit of a semi-modular design based around a digital matrix system). I know I'm barely scratching the surface with it on this track, which also features the trusty minilogue xd and lots of vst instruments such as the Animoog Z and the Arp Odyssey.

Ocean Currents

This is my first collaboration with Clive / @winkandwoo 
We decided to make a song after he commented on the artwork for another one of my tracks (Metaplasticity) where he said it looked like a 'chewing gum sea'. I suggested it was a great song name so went for it. I am super happy with the results, hope you'll enjoy it too!

Lyrics :-
What is reality?
With these marshmallow clouds
Lollypops are all around
The trees are candy canes
There is sherbet on the ground
We swim so far
In the chewing gum sea
We swim so far

WAR
(version 1.3 = Mix de 3 titres dans leurs versions originales)

*

A l'Ukraine. 

A nos deux guerres mondiales dont toutes les leçons n'ont pas encore été tirées. Des dictateurs au dessus de nos têtes comme autant d'épées de Damoklès promptes à se planter dans la vie pour la dominer sinon la détruire...

Pourtant une issue se dessine au loin (track 3 de la série), loin...

* * *

Aux milliards de vies qui eurent a souffrir des intolérences et des avidités de ceux qui les gouvernent. Aux hordes de sacrifiés pour la chair à canon. A nos consciences inaptes à partager les différences quand on les combat ou les cloisonne. A notre incapacité à pardonner : l'inextinguible rancune, l'inéluctable vengence, les combats qui en découlent. Aux murs qui séparent ce qui devrait s'unir. A la destruction quand plus rien de neuf ne veut se construire. A la mort quand l'ancien étouffe le nouveau qui voulait naître. Aux ruptures qu'un seul a consenties. Aux divorces qui déchirent des coeurs. Aux amitiés brisées. Aux familles fracturées. A l'amour pulvérisé.

Wreck en Ré inachevé

Rien d'extravagant. Juste joué en 2018 sur une guitare 5 cordes (6 dont il en manque 1), debout dans la cuisine par un jour de pluie avant de sortir... puis retouché un tantinet sur Audacity en 2023, c'est à dire hier. A la recherche du son imparfait qui nous plaît.

Et comme on aime l'aventure on le rejouera si possible en mieux à la 6 cordes tantôt pour faire la version qu'on espère finale ou proche de la finalité. D'où la version II-III ici.

Mini-Wreck en Ré inachevé II-III (Impro 2018 feat 2023)

The Smoking Trout collaborative's Quest for the Holy Dumpling, episode 7 finds our traveling band of protagonists hitting on some good luck after we left them 'out of food and out of gas' at the end of the last installment of our work-in-progress concept album.

On this one, I came up with a beat and synth score as step 1. Then Jeff added some fantastic vocals and Stephen brought in a killer guitar groove. We always have tons of fun making these, hope you will enjoy listening as well!

Lyrics:

Sally ls a hero, found a hundred dollar bill and a sack of Skittles
ln between the Cushions of the couch-
Sid and MaryAnn are at the local bloodbank
peddling pints of plasma
for fifty bucks a pop-
Maurice and Nostradamus are at the western Union
picking up three hundred dollars
from their grandma ln Tacoma

Gus ls working on the Bus
ln the episcopalian Parklng lot
and even got two hundred dollars from the congregation-
Stu he's got a Visa card which he never uses
Ubered over to the lucky Ladles where he's playing black jack
hoping for a Major Parlay--Hoping for a major Parlay-----

Larry and Roberta, while beggin for some buckshees
and playln muslc on the corner at the farmers market
met a Sufi sitting on the sidewalk
serenely spouting scripture from the 
Transcendental Dharma of the Holy Dumpling

Along with baking soda, salt, wheat and water
A heavy leavening of responsibility ls required ln the making--
and some mushrooms only growing ln Oaxaca
lf you wanna make that dumpling, she sald
you're gonna have to go
To Mexico

A Major Parlay (Smoking Trout's HOLY DUMPLING #7) w/ Stonerjazz & TexMex Shaman

Lugubrious

Stephen (@texmex-shaman) and I have been working together on these 'Texas Tea' collabs for almost a year now, building up an eclectic and fun catalogue of tunes: https://on.soundcloud.com/LqsSP

There is something about the way our styles meld together that works so well, everything just flows! For this one I was jamming out a melodies on a blues scale, and Stephen added some killer experimental guitar weirdness that elevates it to whole other level.
