Mahatma Ghandi: speech at Inter Asian Conference, 02/04/1947

Lyrics:

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Recognising one another
as a friend, as a true brother.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

By sectarian politicians
humankind is being confronted.
Now is the time (2)
Troubles they want us to see,
people live them more easily.
Now is the time (2)
We need pragmatism …

We’re all part of minorities,
the red haired or left handed.
Now is the time (2)
No more talk about left or right,
no more minding if black or white.
Now is the time (2)
We need global thinking …

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Love flows freely in every heart.
Revolution inside each one.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

It's The Time (with Janine Levinson)

Opus Sanctorum Angelorum

The Opus Sanctorum Angelorum, a debated group inside the Roman Catholic Church, defines Ahriman as a "demon in the Rank of Fallen Powers". It says his duty is to obscure human brains from the Truth of God.[21]



Anthroposophy

Rudolf Steiner, who founded the esoteric spiritual movement anthroposophy, used the concept of Ahriman to name one of two extreme forces which pull humanity away from the centering influence of Christ. Steiner associated Ahriman, the lower spirit, with materialism, science, heredity, objectivity, and soul-hardening. He thought that contemporary Christianity was subject to Ahrimanic influence, since it tended towards materialistic interpretations. Steiner predicted that Ahriman, as a supersensible Being, would incarnate into an earthly form, some little time after our present earthly existence, in fact in the third post-Christian millennium.[20]

The Putsch Tune plus two

The Putsch Tune

Wow!

Doing this with https://soundcloud.com/florian-luethi-59518579 really managed to create very uncomfy feelings in the first place..... I am very afar from the point where i would call myself a Keyboardplayer or a "Keyboardist", but that is something i really want to achieve some day. Then there is this Swiss Army Knive of a man, playing in a Band, playing in a Bigband, reinventing old classics, playing the Keys like a young god - how can you keep up with someone like him.

He sent me the first stem back then , i think in April 2021... and said that he want it to be our thing. There was a  toiletpaperroll kind of instructions which came along with it and music sheets which i really cannot read. Thank you, goddamn! AHahahah.  It is also slow, has various changes in timing and there is also a short variation in a part with a bpm change. 

Adding this into my DAW and setting it up was one thing, finding the right key to jam along with it and trying to go JAZZ was a complete different take. Holy SH*T. 

I prelistened alot this two milestone versions out there:
Thelonious Monk Quartet - 'Round Midnight -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yg7aZpIXRI and
Miles Davis Quintet - 'Round Midnight - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIgLt7LAZF0, and while doing so, i felt terrible feeble and developed some slight depression torwards the thing which Mr. Lüthi sent me. I was flatterned, that he thought i can keep up with something like that, but also frightened AF.

So i did listen to his version and i simply was not able to do it. I gladly was able to work on any music, but going 42 BPM, sorry, i fucking started going idle ... so slooooooooooow!!! (Remember : Dawn of Damn is 160 bpm - so this track here is a bout 4 times slower). After many months i finally set everything up and for another few months tried to play something to it - progress about to be aligned with those BPM hahah....

Late but nevertheless, the inspiration finally came and while i tried to line up with this jazzy thing, Florian wanted the FY - Mojo and Crazyness, so he completely changed the whole base for the song and bam bam bam - boomarang!! We both hope that you enjoy this new version of a classic which has been re-issued about 2000 times! We are pretty confident, that this version is quite different... :)

Thank you Florian for the possibility to do this with you and all your patience, your super cool uplifting attitude and positive and constructive critic! Also pretty happy, that he allowed me to collaborate with his unique drawing style. I really tried to adapt and went full drawing mode this time! This was so much fun!

All the best to all of you and a great 2k22 !
Yours,

'Round Midnight

'Round Midnight - Collab with Florian Lüthi

In a Dialogue with Gravity and Matisse's Gardens – Boléro  
Listen in the Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/in-a-dialogue-with-gravity-and
Based on Marice Ravel’s "Boléro" 
Duration: 3:15 
Danse Etoile Ballet (www.danseetoile.org) premiers two contemporary ballets June 3-4.  “In A Dialogue with Gravity” explores the parallel between modern architecture, movement and the need to push and defy gravity.  “Matisse’s Gardens” brings to life the bold color and forms that Henri Matisse first explored in his collages and drawings.
Matisse first visited Morocco in the winter of 1912.  Matisse found Morocco so different and exotic that he ended up making numerous sketches, drawings, and paintings of it, or more precisely, of what he saw in it.  Matisse was quite struck by the people’s physiognomy and colorful garments, the architecture, the daily outdoor scenes, and routines… and it shows in most of his works from this period (1912-1913).  This music for the ballet, using ethnic instruments and percussion, reflects on this time of Matisse's life in Morocco.

Lofty Castle
A lofty castle of my own
Like Crusoe pulls up the ladder to be alone
Steerforth, he is our guiding star
Inns of molten blue; that’s our repertoire
“Fill full your cups”

I hear the squawk of corkscrew sound
Long before it’s needed for the next maroon round
I’ve laughed at my own jokes all night
How town sharpens an appetite

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Vast truths that mortals seldom” found

I heard someone fall down the stairs
False reports the tumbler was in fact truly yours
Perhaps there’s foundation after all
I’m on my back on the passage floor

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“But still we held as time flew by”

Who’s that smoking right by the fireplace? It was me!
Who’s that leaning out of the window? It was me!
Contemplate one self in the mirror? That was me too!

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Drink to me only with your eyes”

Lofty Castle

Good mouth feel, aromatic bouquet. Contains the essence of everything.

LYRICS
===========================
it's in the air it's in the seed
it's in the want it's in the need
it's in the bottle

it's in the breath it's in the word
it's in the mouse it's in the bird
it's in the bottle

All we sow
All we grow
Everything which ripens in the sun

All who bleed
All with seed
Everything is soil when it comes undone

it's in the soil it's in the root
it's in the stem it's in the fruit
it's in the bottle

it's in the stars it's in the sky
it's in the truth it's in the lie
it's in the bottle

All we sow
All we grow
Everything which ripens in the sun

All who bleed
All with seed
Everything is soil when it comes undone

it's in the will it's in the feral
it's in the still it's in the barrel
it's in the bottle

it's in the heart it's in the mind
it's in the stomach it's in the spine
it's in the bottle

it's in the thorn it's in the rose
it's on your tongue it's in your nose
it's in the bottle

it's in the book it's on the wall
it's in the jump it's in the fall
it's in the bottle

Song by The Devil's Blood

Music, production, artwork: Verulium
Vocals: AK Sanderson

Saturday is a mile away
I still feel  the burning flames
As I walk through death again
Saturday burns my skin with wine
He marks it six with a silver knife
As I feel his breath again

I know he loves me
I know he must
My life for you
Voodoo dust

Drowning only feet from the shore
Sleeping an endless sleep
But violently awake, we wait
We walk the thousand yards he lays for us
We do his work his will is thus
Violently awake, we wait

We know he loves us
We know he must
We die for you
Voodoo dust

Saturday is a mile away
I still feel the burning flames
As I walk through death again
Saturday burns my skin with wine
He marks it six with a silver knife
As I feel his breath again

I know he loves me
I know he must
My life for you
Voodoo dust

Drowning only feet from the shore
Sleeping an endless sleep
But violently awake, we wait
We walk the thousand yards he lays for us
We do his work his will is thus
Violently awake, we wait

We know he loves us
We know he must
We die for you
Voodoo dust

Wow, this is the 5th song posted from the album I started using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic! This song was inspired by the conservative agenda, which at the time was more noticeably gaining momentum, to systematically whittle away and block the rights of those groups that did’t align with their values. The conservative agenda continues to gain strength, and it is up to the people to support each other in maintaining and advancing rights (including those of groups one is not a part of).    

It has been a great pleasure working with Stricknice, Bitzone, and Wou-Wou on these tracks. We are blessed by all the support the SoundCloud community has given to our releases. We can’t wait to share more music with you all. 

I haven't done a more straight up hip hop song in ages!

Lyrics:

Hit the streets likes it’s a brand new day
Pound the pavement for the payment 
Of knowing I slay
Say hey to all my homies around my way
Say hey to all the folks just trying to get paid
What up party people dying to get laid
Let you freak flag fly high up and away
Pray to allah Pray to Jesus 
Get all Polytheistic if it pleases
Go to college and write a thesis 
Couch surf around the globe and sleep on beaches 
Who needs meat when we got peaches
Who needs warfarin when we got leeches
Use yo magic to cure diseases 
Go help somebody with yo expertises 
Take a stand against injusticeses 
And don’t give a damn if no one agrees with

You 
won’t see eye to eye with
You
Isn’t able to fully accept 
You
doesn’t want to believe in
You
Be real to your-self and stay true

Word
You know we still fighting 
To open minds to new perspectives
And hearts to other ways of being  And that’s for real
Yo

Who you got a problem with 
What you try to solve it with
Why you got that solid fist
When now’s the time to 
Listen go out and try something
Different see what chu mighta been 
Missin’ dismissin’ 
Omittin’ what wasn’t Fittin’
Your world view 
Let go of what you knew so
You can become a new you
Discover what’s now true 
To hold onto your values
And speak your truth and stay for real
While holdin’ space for others to feel
What they gonna feel and what they says their truth
But if it falls to pieces and their beliefs lead to more injusticeses 
Then don’t give a damn if no one agrees with

You 
won’t see eye to eye with
You
Isn’t able to fully accept 
You
doesn’t want to believe in
You
Be real to your-self and stay true

Yea
That right
This one goes out to all those leading the fight 
In the struggle on the day to day

From my heart, thank you Yann for beautiful music.

Children living in war are traumatized and many children react by becoming apathetic. 
Some of the children stop talking.
Their fear is frozen.
This song is for the children.

We cannot see
The souls storms swept by sorrow
There's a sadness so deep
That tears won't come
I hold my breath
And hope
 
We are under the same stars

May we be lead down the quiet ways
Of wisdom and peace
We are under the same stars
A beam of daylight
Shines for you

Under The Same Stars. Yann Kifer and Oddrun Eikli

Alice - Trippy / strangely mesmerizing mix (by pogo)

These songs are not for the common music lovers at all. This is mostly hearable for musicians looking for inspiration or curious people.

If you were to paint a picture, but your head was crouded with ideas and memories, you might make something that could sound like these tracks; most of these are how I "paint" my life and ideas with sounds and music. And life is messy, haha.

Weeping Angels

The crystalline matrix weaves wondrous webs of awakening. 
Visionary psychotropic stalactites of otherworldly splendor. 
Voluminous geometric lattices cascading from other dimensions. 
Copious canopies of galactic granular grey matter. 
Unveiling - unfolding - unfurling - swirling - distorting - contorting - revealing - all-seeing.

cold shivers have bitten the flowers in the garden's mind
and the fever trees try to lighten the hall of the blind
the blind faith in progress decided on how the world runs
and sooner or later the killing of eden is done
 
it's no time for butterflies
when the whore of babylon is on the way to the sky
no time for butterflies
anymore

the trees are sending s.o.s. from the roots into the crown
and the creation's crown explains it was all the time the same, an up and down
but this time maybe it's a little bit different
when the sea breathes plastic we're close to the start of the bitter end

it's no time for butterflies
when the whore of babylon is on the way to the sky
no time for butterflies
anymore
