Very well thought out soundscape, great realization of the theme described. Great stony sounds, with ravens flying by. So many details and textures. Outstanding production. 🎶💛👍

Another great crazy track my dear Bruce, like always ;)

Particularly nice. Excellent percussive sounds and panning effects

the sound design is extraordinary  - you created a rhythm with rock samples - this is awesome - the brass theme + synths are brillantly written and executed!

Love it, but somehow I could not help but think of Dylan as I listened.

いーやーさーさぁ / yi Ya Sa Sa

Seagull magically touches with symphonic splendor Peter's erudite songwriting, singing, and playing, but still remains deeply personal as Father Time is personified.
Lyrics:
Did you commence, at once, or have you always ever been
And will your pounding heartbeat ever cease?
Are you a sense, or force, or something other in between?
Simply ticking down to each and every last release?
Is your pulse rate constant in this exponential universe?
Or does my biology speed the tempo of your rhyme?
Why are the lifespans of your subjects so potentially diverse?
Do you hear me cry your name, Old Father Time?

Is your mission merely measure, or are you yourself the cause
Of evolution and decay of matter's elementary doom?
Are you the seemly pressure on the future's pending pause
Ethereally benign or other natural force subsume?
Can you shift like rays in prisms, temporal rainbows to behold
Are you the cause of age or do you simply count it's lines
Is your rounded face imprisoned in a cell numbered twelvefold
Do you hear me cry your name, Old Father Time?

At terminal expansion of our present universe
For its destined re-contraction to begin
Will your hands slow to a halt then slip into reverse
Or count us down in forward time back to our origin?
Will the ultimate compaction trigger seasonal adjust
Predicate upon your base the final great rewind?
Then will you recommence or revert back to gently ticking dust?
Do you hear me cry your name, Old Father Time?

Old Father Time (Peter, Seagull, Dan-t)

Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the rocks sound library used to compose this piece.

Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, or emotions to non-human entities or objects. It is considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology. Anthropomorphism is a common way humans perceive and interact with the world around them.

The Earth is made of rock, from the tallest mountains to the floor of the deepest ocean. Thousands of different types of rocks and minerals have been found on Earth. Most rocks at the Earth's surface are formed from only eight elements (oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium), but these elements are combined in a number of ways to make rocks that are very different.  Rocks are continually changing. Wind and water wear them down and carry bits of rock away; the tiny particles accumulate in a lake or ocean and harden into rock again. The oldest rock that has ever been found is more than 3.9 billion years old.

Humanity has made use of rocks since the earliest humans. This early period, called the Stone Age, saw the development of many stone tools. Stone was then used as a major component in the construction of buildings and early infrastructure. 

Rocks are commonly divided into three major classes according to the processes that resulted in their formation. These classes are (1) igneous rocks, which have solidified from molten material called magma; (2) sedimentary rocks, those consisting of fragments derived from preexisting rocks or of materials precipitated from solutions; and (3) metamorphic rocks, which have been derived from either igneous or sedimentary rocks under conditions that caused changes in mineralogical composition, texture, and internal structure.

7th Heavenly day天国みたいな日を見上げて  

I’m trapped in the ice of rule

The ice is like a trackway
Rain is melting the ice of me away
Rain is embracing me

The ice is becoming sparkle water
The ice is becoming sparkle water
The ice is becoming sparkle water
The ice is becoming sparkle water

Look up above the 7th Heavenly day
Look up above the 7th Heavenly day

Old rules are on the ground
It’s so faraway
Old rules are on the ground
It’s so faraway

Look up above the 7th Heavenly day
Look up above the 7th Heavenly day

Rain is melting the ice of me away
Rain is melting the ice of me away
Rain is melting the ice of me away

私は囚われている
ルールの氷に
古い街道の様な氷だ
雨は私の氷を溶かしてくれる
雨が私を優しく包んでいる
氷はキラキラした水になっている
７番目よりもっと上の天国な日を見上げて見てよ
古いルールが地面に落ちている
とても遠くに

7th Heavenly Day (Feat. Khan)

Little excerpt from a gig a few weeks back. There was an old piano lurking at the side of stage so Dani wondered over and gave it a good bash mid set - i made some pretty average bass noises in the background : )  pardon the audio quality -  its a straight raw capture from my trusty zoom . Vibe is good though
