Collaborations

01 Harmonica

Nova Scotia’s Nap Eyes is the greatest band you’ve never heard, and Whine of the Mystic is their first full-length album, a brilliant small-batch brew of crooked, literate guitar pop refracted through the gray Halifax rain. Recorded live to tape with no overdubs, it’s equal parts shambling and sophisticated, with one eye on the dirt and one trained on the starry firmament, inhabiting a skewed world where odes to NASA and the Earth’s magnetic field coexist easily with songs about insomnia and drinking too much.

Waiting In The Wings

Looking out of the bedroom window
He sees frozen shades of gray
Then he starts dreaming about the way things once were
As he watches a peculiar bird fly away

Then suddenly it becomes so clear to him
Feels like summer in his mind

We seek and we find
It’s there half the time
Right before our eyes
With an open mind
We seek and we find

A little integration
Takk, Tack

All right, so right

He takes another gander out the window
And everything's
All right

a little integration

Music and Lyrics by Michael Weber (Christofferson Weber)

Acoustic Guitar & Vocals by Michael Weber
Congo Drums by Jeff Foster
Electric Guitar, Bass, Morroca, Backing Vocals by Michael Walker (Screach) 
Mixed and Mastered on a $99 Fostex 8 Track by The Screach Himself using mostly luck and imagination... 

We live in a very small world people. So small that I can hear the music coming from bedrooms and basements all over the world. It's familiar and friendly to me. I feel like we have all met before. I wonder if we met in previous lives...I hope so! 

I had the sincere pleasure of really feeling the Sound Cloud Gift come full circle. Michael Weber (Christofferson Weber) reached out to me via sound cloud to let me know he was going to be coming through Montana where I live and wanted to meet. Furthermore he was doing shows in Montana while he was here and asked me to play with him at a small art museum in Anaconda, MT not too far from my home - So, I did. We had a marvelous time at a marvelous venue. We played into the morning hours around a camp fire after and made great new friends. We ate and drank and enjoyed the alpine lakes of Montana together the next day. Our families met, our children met, we formed lasting friendships! What a SC Gift! It doesn't get any more rewarding! Money Cant buy Love! We just have to accept it and foster it and pour it on each other! 

This song is a Michael Weber original! Michael plays it and sings it with the relaxed confident feel I love so much. Jeff Foster lays down the Bongo tracks that keeps the song popping. It was a pleasure for me to put down some guitar licks, backing vocals, a little Moroccan Percussion and some Bass then mixing it on the Fostex to gain a live feel. I had to record Michael's base tracks into my cheap recorder by placing a mic near a cheap stereo I played the CD through off of SC - then build around that track. So, I apologize for the tint of sounds  - it cant be as warm as it could be but it does somewhat lend to the live feel - You don't have to have loads of really expensive equipment to record a decent song - just go for it and use the tools you have in your cave! 

We hope you enjoy!

Find Our Way Home

Hey there little sleeping beauty
Know that you’ve been torn
When everything that
You’ve grown up with
Has grown so worn

A thousand hearts
Out on the open water
Have sailed upon these seas
When you’re feeling
The weight of the world, love
Just let go please

‘Cause it’s gonna get better
If we try
And you don’t need to worry
Your sweet eyes
Yeah it’s gonna get better
If we try
To find our way home

So where do we go from here
Well that we can’t know
There’s one thing
We can be sure of
That we control

We take care of one another
In all that we do
And one day
We’ll wake to find that
Our dreams do come true

''Southamerican Poem'' (Spanish Version)
Escrito por: Dick Vestdijk y Régulo Tortolero

La magia de la selva nos envuelve con su estallido de verde y canto
Canto de aves multicolores que se alejan al caer el sol

Orion se asoma ya en el horizonte
Mientras me llega tu recuerdo distante

Bailamos sin decirnos nada
Fundidos uno al otro en nuestras pupilas
Sintiendo el palpitar de la luz de nuestras almas
Con destellos de caleidoscópio

La música brotaba de los arcoiris
La luna, las estrellas y los planetas
Iluminaban nuestra danza secreta
Iluminaron este, nuestro eterno reencuentro

Churun Merú, Aponwao y Kukenan
Guían el viaje de una noble y olvidada casta primigenia de las tierras del sur
que va cruzando la estela del río en canoas de cristal
Adentrandose en la selva al encuentro de un shaman

''Southamerican Poem'' (English Version)
Written by: Dick Vestdijk and Régulo Tortolero

The magic of the jungle surrounds us with its burst of green and singing
Singing of multicolored birds that go away at sunset

Orion is already looming on the horizon
While I get your distant memory

We dance without saying anything
Melted to each other in our pupils
Feeling the pulse of the light of our souls
With kaleidoscope flashes

The music flowed from the rainbows
The moon, stars and planets
Illuminated our secret dance
Lit this, our eternal reunion

Churun Meru, Aponwao and Kukenan
Guiding the journey of a noble and forgotten primitive caste of the southern lands
going across the river stele in cristal canoes
Penetrating in the jungle to a shaman's meeting.

Southamerican Poem (Alternate Take)

Nitin Sawhney - When I'm Gone (featuring Stealth)

FALLING (out of love )

A Richard Thompson song from Fairport Convention´s third album..  the words seem so true for the current refugee situation in Europe... helpless and slow and you don´t have anywhere to go....The picture is the father of the little 3 year old boy who drowned recently.. a tragedy that must never be repeated!

Genesis Hall ( for the refugees of this world)

a little ditty that practically wrote itself on a guitar progression that's probably from something else... not sure what it means? oh well, meanings! if I find one I doubt it will conform to fit

thanks for listening!

"Sluice Box Tavern" is the first song released from the forthcoming new EP by CONTACT FIELD ORCHESTRA "Mapping The Futures Gone By" [HNR55] on HIT+RUN.

"Mapping The Futures Gone By" furthers CONTACT FIELD ORCHESTRA's exploration of dubby broken percussion and haunting found sounds.   Sirens and lasers accent plaintive woodwind arrangements set against mbiras and bluesy guitars.  Fitting in a time and place that's uniquely it's own, MTFGB is a travelogue to a lucid dream, a mining expedition or a trip to space--somehow nostalgic and familiar, yet somehow not at all.

This 6-track EP is the fourth release from CONTACT FIELD ORCHESTRA with HIT+RUN ("Volume 1", "Volume 2", plus the cassette-only H+R Mixtape from 2012).  CFO has also appeared on Giles Peterson's seminal compilation series "Brownswood Bubblers Vol. 10", and contributed to Ninja Tune's popular "Solid Steel" mix series.  

CONTACT FIELD ORCHESTRA is produced by Southern California musician & artist Damon Aaron.  In 2008 he came across a box of 7" tapes at an estate sale in Altadena that turned out to be field recordings of a turn-of-the century orchestra of ex-miners; recorded almost entirely with hand-made instruments and contact microphones.  This became the source material for this collection of celebrated releases with HIT+RUN.   

"Mapping The Futures Gone By" is available in two very distinct limited-edition green/bronze & green/black heavy-splattered 10" vinyl, each housed in a one-of-a-kind hand silkscreened jackets printed by Hit+Run in downtown Los Angeles. Limited pressing of only 400 copies! 

**RELEASE DATE: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2015**

This is a Michael Weber (Christofferson Weber) Tune written and performed by Cam-O-The Chameleon himself. Screach added a few slices of guitar and backing vocal to a already perfect tune and splashed in just a few drops of Harmonica & Percussion towards the end...

We both hope you enjoy!

Sundae Club's subtle remix of the modern classic "One Mississippi" by Hey Negrita.

All our powerful computer technology was used to time the track exactly to a grid so we could employ our remix techniques, but the original was so accurately played it hardly mattered. This version is slightly quicker than the original and features a few rather nice synth noises, otherwise, the original, taken from the live acoustic album "Burn the Whole Place Down" was just so damned fine we thought we'd leave the spirit of it untouched.

Spotters may notice a bit of Radioactivity-era Kraftwerk and a subtle Nick Drake influence in there.

Yes. Really!

========== Lyrics ==========

Out in the field, at night
I find myself twirling out of space
It’s like a dream, it seems...

There comes times where I don’t really care
About what goes on around 

All I hear is my boom box going hard
Out over here, nobody seems to notice us
At times I may have my own reasons
But never will I turn you my back 

We’re alright, we go our ways
We stumble down just to build up 
Taking hold of us again

Out in the field, we dance endlessly 
Out over here where you can see the city
We don’t dwell into tomorrow’s worries
We live for now and glorious memories 

We don’t mind, we don’t mind nothing 

We are at our rhythm 
We don’t care about your competition 
Nothing sane in soulless repetition 

We’re alright, we go our ways
We stumble down just to build up 
Taking hold of us again

Life without Love

Seether - The Gift (Guitar Cover)

All tracks  are recorded in a spontaneous manner typically in a single take. Most lyrics are also spontaneous improvisations derived from the feelings of the moment. We let the guitar and drums interact and the music just happens. Most if not all of the music is inspired from this interaction.

The recording equipment up until January 2019 consisted of a dated Fostex 8 track and a few microphones...We simply lay down a guitar and drum track and let it unfold the way you are hearing it by bouncing tracks. We just have to make music to live. Music of any kind, music that speaks for itself... 

In January 2019 recording equipment was upgraded to Logic X and a UA Apollo MKll Quad Core Recording interface...We entered a new building and still trying to find the light switch so bare with us as we keep lighting matches...
