Founded as a local cover band by Suat Vergili and Sarp Keskiner in 2016 under the synonym “Almost Rock’n Roll”, THE UNDERDOGZ (Izmir) recorded this obscure modal nugget of Nick Drake for a compilation album, curated by In the Void collective (based in Istanbul). Enjoy a rarity from the band that had disbanded in 2018, featuring the one and only female rock drummer based in Izmir.

CANZONA for chamber ensemble

A double-bass-driven psychedelic electroblues song and the fifth single release from the‘transatlantic quarantaine sessions”

Between 1998 and 2020 Boo Boo Davis used to tour in Europe several times each year and a lot of music was written and recorded during these tours.  The current pandemic put that on hold . But with the help of the internet and Chris Brown in St Louis, the guys from ElectroBluesSociety (Netherlands) started to exchange idea's and demo tapes with Boo Boo in East St Louis (USA).

The Psyop Song - Lyrics :-
No Religion
No companion
No dominion
To waiver their control
No condition
No permission
No opinion
No conscience and no soul

They don't drop bombs anymore
They get inside your head
The psyop song is a war
To all the things unsaid

Infiltration
All pervasion
All persuasion
The changing of the rules
All evasion
All temptation
All predation
It's brutal and it's cruel

They're not alone , no not alone
'Cause everyone's been playing that same game
From Hollywood , to the music world
Have signed their name in blood to reach their fame

They don't drop bombs anymore
They get inside your head
The psyop song is a war
To all the things unsaid

No Religion
No companion
No dominion
To waiver their control
No condition
No permission
No opinion
No conscience and no soul

They're not alone , no not alone
'Cause everyone's been playing that same game
From government , to royalty
They're marked at birth to take over the reins

They don't drop bombs anymore
They get inside your head
The psyop song is a war
To all the things unsaid

The Psyop Song

«Menuetto-Pizzicato». Op. 34.

Bruto viento (Demo)

A section (piano melody, bass, piano, mallets piano and field recording backing tracks)
B section (piano melody is routed to a percussion sample bank, randomly triggering percussive sounds, backing tracks continue)
A section (piano melody returns over backing tracks)

For this challenge @disquiet:
Step 1: There’s a now famous quote from the opening of the 2006 film The Prestige. It goes as follows. Give it a read:

“Every magic trick consists of three parts – or acts. The first part is called the Pledge. The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird, or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it – to see if it is, indeed, real. You know: unaltered, normal. But of course … it probably isn’t. The second act is called the Turn. The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now, you’re looking for the secret, but you won’t find it, because of course you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn’t clap yet. Because making something disappear isn’t enough. You have to bring it back. That’s why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call the Prestige.”

Step 2: This arc, moving from Pledge to Turn to Prestige, can be read as a take on the classic ABA structure, in which a theme is introduced, then something else occurs, and then the piece returns to where it began.

Step 3: Compose and record a piece of music that takes the process described in The Prestige as its blueprint.

Arright! Last one off this album. If you haven't snagged already, the full thing is available for free on Bandcamp: https://mayorofdonutville.bandcamp.com/album/perpendicularism

A couple of notes:
This is the track where, when I got done recording, I looked at myself in the mirror and said, "Am I that much of a Monkees fan?" And the answer is yes. I am that much of a Monkees fan. I particularly like Nesmith's writing, but to be honest, the more time goes on, the more I'm totally okay with the whole catalog. Mickey had some pipes, and he wrote at least one banger. Pete had some weird stuff that I can get behind. Davy? Davy? That was the hard sell for me the whole time, but believe it or not, I'm warming to him. If you haven't watched their bizarre Jack Nicholson acid trip movie, Head, I highly recommend it. Yes, you will say "What the heck was that?" when it's over. But you'll have some laughs along the way, and you'll maybe better appreciate how THEY felt about being a fake band. 

Ok. Monkees Rant is complete. 

Next, I need to re-up my apology on being a bad SC friend. I have only been popping on for a few minutes here and there, and when I go to dig in to someone's catalog, I realize how long it's been since I've listened proper. I suck, and I apologize. 

The NEXT PROJECT: Apart from working on some still way overdue collabs (sorry Austin and Micah) I am fully-entrenched in what I consider to be the best thing I have ever worked on. That's the joke, I guess. Whatever I'm working on HAS to be the best thing I've ever worked on, otherwise, why bother? Right? This one, though... It has the heavy guitars. I've been getting a real workout. Like the Wren Hollow project, it's also a selection of very old writings that never got finished, only it lives in a different place from Wren Hollow. It's got the memory interpolation. Really stoked to share. I'm probably gonna drop those tracks on the Mayor profile, and I'm considering dropping a couple early, because I'm just eager to share. Also considered making a whole new profile for it, but I think my memory for accounts is officially at capacity. Recordingwise, I'm at 7/10 complete, 2/10 instrumentally complete, and 1/10 totally not started. You might think it'd be easy to track out older stuff, but I have a fun little thing I do where I record all the instruments in the wrong key TWICE. lol. 

I hope you all are well. Thank you for the support.

Here is a version of my song with the fabulous flute of Georg Boehme woven through. Thank you Georg!

We All Need Love (with Georg Boehme)

Orb by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Spring 2009.

* There are some songs that give the listener goosebumps as soon as they hear and recognise the first couple of notes and realise they are about to hear something truly extraordinary.
* Orb is one of those special songs.
* There are several distinct sections to the song with classic riffs and earworm la-la-la vocals.
* It was performed by the Spacegoats before Alchemeon started playing it.
* Orb would have been the first of two encore songs in a live performance.

ORB
When the walls of the temple
Are cast to the ground
And light shines through the ruins
When the form decays
To leave no trace
That is the time of re-doing

And the sun is shining
Casting rays throughout the universe
And everything goes on as before
The slip of light has pierced
The very heart and soul of you
Take a look now, open up your door

At first you may find it a little curious
Just let go to the feeling
Describe a circle your arms outstretched
Learn to feel this healing

Singing...
Li la li li li li la li
Li li li li la la li la la li li la la

Send the sun’s rays into the earth
And round and round and round revolving
The moon will shine her light upon you
As round the stones we are returning

Return...
Li la li li li li la li
Li li li li la la li la la li li la la

Become a tribe of many lives
Around and round and round and round evolving
The moon will shine her light upon we
As round the stones we are returning

Return...
Li la li li li li la li
Li li li li la la li la la li li la la

Send the seeds into the earth
You know you know you know it’s worth
Send the seeds into the ground
It’s a holy holy holy sound

La la li la la la li li
Hey hey!

Don’t you don’t you don’t you know
We gotta sow sow sow sow
And don’t’ya don’t ya don’t ya know
We’re gonna grow grow grow grow
Grow grow grow grow grow grow grow grow!

La la li la la la li li
Hey hey!

And the sun is shining
Casting rays throughout the universe
And everything goes on like never before
The slip of light has pierced
The very heart and soul of you
Take a look now
Open up your door

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
