Man what an atmosphere to wake you up in the morning haha. Amazing one..I love how the drums and that crazy distortion almost made a sludgy feel..stuck to the earth. Beautiful..excellent track with some great artwork!

Good one, Bill. And as for the wisdom, aren't we all? But borrowed or not, we still must arrive there on our own.  Sounds like these can help.

Haha

All sounds come from the initial spoken phrase 'Why don't you stop' .. and roughly follow the shape of it's waveform for overall structure. The sounds at any particular point in the piece are generated by the associated lexeme in the vocal phrase using an Akai s950 hardware sampler and its built in editing routines.

Performed 'live' straight into the mixing desk via the separate outputs. Sequenced by Logic. Mastered onto cassette.

Why Don't You Stop

Why Dont You Stop

In music, the term “arabesque” refers to a highly ornamental melody whose free unfolding expresses a slowing of time within the composition. Unlike the straight line, which is the most direct path from A to B, the curving movement of the arabesque creates an effect of circular phrases that conjure perpetual melodies. Debussy referred to "arabesque" as a piece of music with exquisite detail and clear repetitions of ideas and artistic balance. This term is used for various kinds of melodic, contrapuntal, or harmonic ornamentation. Several composers including Claude Debussy and Robert Schumann have used this term as a title for compositions. The term "arabesque" is taken from the Arabic art and architecture which was very ornate. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

painting: Sunday Afternoon by Georges Seurat (1886)
The lady in the foreground is walking a monkey?

Lyrics with James Booker

not my monkey

when days burn short
and nights grow long
when hope and dreams
refuse to sing yer song
(return)

good old days
are happening now
cause we're too close
to see what's right and wrong

not my monkey
not my circus
can't step in the 
same river twice

the past and future
on the tip of yer tongue
good old days
are happening now

sky blue
cotton candy summer day
like a Sunday Afternoon 
down the promenade

yeah, she walked past
like perfume in the wind
color, sound and shadow
masterpiece

did angels make the record skip?

not my monkey
