IndieMag about Versuchsanordnung:

"VERSUCHSANORDNUNG (GERMANY)
Haunting. Cinematic. Evocative. Versuchsanordnung is more of a collective rather than a band. Forming in 2006, the group has evaded categorization with their particular brand of atmospheric improvisations. Their name itself means experimental arrangement in German and they definitely live up to their name. They have a list of goals that read like a mission statement, including ‘to create sound impressions full of atmosphere aiming to paint pictures in your head.’ Goal archieved. Whether it is a film score or a freeform song, this group lives in a land where no soundscape is ever played the same way twice. Well worth hunting down."

"Die Band um den Kölner Grafiker & Musiker Christian Barthold geht nicht den geraden Weg. Hier hört man jazziges, Progressiv-Elemente, Post-Rock-Tristesse und immer wieder ganz unerwartete Sounds, die dann, wie in PONYHOF, zu einem Moll-Surf-Instrumental führen, das sehr an die wunderbaren Atomic Swing erinnert. Gemeinsam mit Jörg Düpjohann (dr.), Markus Blatzheim (bs) und dem Pianisten Christoph Uhlhaas ist ein sehr eigenwilliges Album gelungen, das neben der Musik auch für sein Verpackungsdesign die absolute Höchstwertung bekommt."

This was a throwaway from 2016, but thought I'd get it out for you. 
Lyrics and virtual instruments, dreams of seeing Aurora B and voice: Me

Aurora

I desire your touch
For just one gaze of your love
I'm casting my net over you
All the colours of my desire rage in your sky
I want you and why would I
You're untouchable
I can't reach you

The Black Page #2 by Frank Zappa, covered by Rachel Flowers.

Frank Zappa was a unique artist who combined many different elements from many different styles. He loved to take rhythms and melodies to another level.

The Black Page is one of the pieces where Frank used unusual rhythms to take a piece to a new level.

For the drums I used Session Drummer VSL, Garitan Jazz, and Big Band.  Yamaha M06 for the synths and glockenspiel. Nord Electro 4D for the marimba. Nord Piano 2 HA88 for the piano. Fender jazz bass, custom MarbleHead guitar, and flute. I'm also singing the trombone solo at the end.

The Black Page #1 by Frank Zappa, cover by Rachel Flowers

Frank was always hearing the studio musicians in LA talking about the fear of going into sessions some morning and being faced with "the black page."  So he decided to write his "Black Page."

The drums were from Session Drummer plus some percussion. More percussion was from Garitan Jazz and Big Band, along with the horns. The marimba was from the Nord Electro 4D. The xylophone, violin, fretless bass, and synth were all on the Yamaha M06.

The Black Page #1 - Frank Zappa (cover)

I watched a horror thriller 'Veronica' on Netflix. It was in Spanish with subtitles. Having to read the meaning didn't help my racing imagine though.  Well crafted and scary stuff.

Anyway, I watched this film with my wife and son Evan. He referred to the 'demon' in the film as El Creatchar, especially when it did that lurking around thing in the shadows/corridors etc. Jaysus!

Well this  made us all laugh alot,  and funny enough, the next day this song jumped out - a tale of bewitchment, possession, some fantasy sprinkling of  teen angst.

Apart from a large amount of poetic license especially in the play around with the title dictionary definition, its really simple. Don't be messin around in the school attic with that Ouija board people  :) The Reaper has got enough cowbells.

[Verse]
Demonise,
Cold as stone,
A racing heart,
That won't let go.
Eyes forward,
You're all that you 
needed to be

[Verse]
Phased Out,
Ocean wide,
Your aching body is,
Next to mine.
The sky is yours,
The earth is far below.

[Chorus]
And the wire's gotten crazy, (* I'm gone *)
And the lights are getting dim, (* I'm gone *)
Just how long will it take me, (* I'm gone *)
To put on this second ... skin. (* I'm gone *)

[Verse]
Demonise,
Raging fire,
The lines that are drawn,
Won't go higher.
Eyes backward,
There's no one watching you.

[Verse]
Fly Straight,
Razor thin,
You ask the impossible,
That's where I begin.
The sky is yours,
The endless rains below.


[Chorus]
And the wire's gotten crazy, (* I'm gone *)
And the lights are getting dim, (* I'm gone *)
Just how long will it take it, (* I'm gone *)
To put on this second ... skin. (* I'm gone *)

Song Production Notes:
Iteration1 - basic verse and chorus
Iteration2 - full song structure, added space for a guitar solo , Added short organ solo.
... bit later , like 5 or 6 - This one is killing me - added a *VERY ROUGH* guitar solo, redid all the acoustics into one each side ... eh - realised that everything was too loud in the mix and so gain staged a bunch of tracks down to like -18 ... and now the mix is back as a work in progress .... meh. Never got back to the vocals verse 3/4 ... put in 1/2 as placeholders
 Iteration 7 - Put in a better solo. re balanced the vocals, doubled the backing to panned 60% left and right   ... think its getting close
Iteration 8 : Recorded vocals verse 3 and 4 ,  noticed the vocal is brighter but leaving it as is. ( mic setting was exactly the same - must have been a different approach ) .
Iteration 9 : Rebalanced the intro guitar to  sit better. Removed a long trailing cymbal at the end. Added a little bit more reverb on the main guitar solo.

We're here!!! : ------> Done for now.

LYRICS:
Today is the day you have to come and see this light
The light you left behind before thousand nights
You never knew that brightness followed
you, but did I

When your pain is almost gone
Finally that day has come

We are in bliss
Together forever
This light shines inside
Together we are braver

Dark house collapsed and you know there was no one inside
Id wait for you for a milion years to show you light

When your pain is finally gone
All the things had to be done

We are in bliss
Together forever
This light shines inside
And together we're braver

We are in bliss
Together forever
This light shines inside
Together we are braver

Stay close to me
Now is your time
And iam not gonna let you down
I realize what you've been through
And I know you deserve the truth
So now open your eyes cause

We are in bliss
Together forever
This light shines inside
Together we are braver

A Free Trip to the Moon

Voiceover - Please relax and enjoy your remarkable privilege, a free trip to the moon
Voiceover - Please relax, please relax, please relax, please relax
I’m sitting beneath a tree
I close my eyes and try to see
My thoughts rustle like the wind through the leaves
Memories of memories float through the air
Like ripples in a lake from a rock thrown there
I relax my body 
And I relax my mind
And try to drift away
Try to drift away
From this daily grind
Voiceover - Please relax, please relax, please relax, please relax
A free trip to the moon
I’d like to go there in June
When the weather is nice
And it’s not too crowded
I want to go to the moon
I think I’ll go pretty soon
While the weather is nice
And it’s not that crowded
I relax my body 
And I relax my mind
And try to drift away
Try to drift away
From this daily grind
Voiceover - Please relax, please relax, please relax, please relax
I want to go to the moon
I’d like to go there in June
When the weather is nice
And it’s not too crowded
Voiceover - A free trip to the moon

Mine ancient scars shall not be glorified,
Nor my titanic tears, the seas, be dried.'"

“The past is a black hole, cut into the present day like a wound, and if you come too close, you can get sucked in. You have to keep moving.”

“Memories beget memories. Fever being a disease of remembering, the fevered are trapped indefinitely in their memories. But what is the difference between the fevered and us?"

Severance

I was watching a movie called ‘ The Darkest Hour’. About two Americans  flying to Moscow to sell their social networking/party locating software. Upon arrival they go to a nightclub and meet two girls, an American, and her Australian friend. The lights go out in the club and everyone heads outside. There, they witness a policeman investigating  being  disintegrated by this ball of lightning. The invisible entities begin hunting and killing people, sending them into a panic. They begin this cat and mouse chase across the city, trying to survive and get to a safe place.
I was totally inspired and produced this track. Enjoy. Love to all. Copyright protected ©

a sketch..
words iz
have you ever seen an evil hedgehog
crunching away on a slug
thinking up dastardly doings
looking evilly sideways at crumbs
have you ever stopped there to wonder
what goes on beneath spindles and lice
i tell you its all very spikey
i can tell you its not very nice

have you ever even considered
the malevolent fish in your pond
you can bet they are viscous pernicious
they are evil incarnate beyond
just waiting to grow legs and weapons
waiting to swell ounce by ounce
they never do other that evilest wishes
they lay in wait silent to pounce
outside your house

look at the evilest sparrow
eyeing you up from a tree
thinking up plots by the barrow load
devising new ways to kill thee
just you wait till theyve got themselves organised
just you wait till they sort out their crew
wait till there peckers are in your eyes
flapping and twatting at you

stop thinking youre cool
cos youre a fool
mother nature is cruel.

I deeply recognize the disparity in ways natural and human disasters affect different groups of people and the need for greater equality of care. I also recognize that I live with many privileges that others do not have. And with these recognitions, I still believe there is space for us all to have a gratitude practice while passionately endeavoring for positive change.  

I am grateful for all the accumulated creativity and work of our ancestors that lead to the eventual creation of the internet and SoundCloud which has enabled us to remain artistically connected during this period of increased physical isolation. 

May everyone’s seeds be fruitful and multiply.

Lyrics:

We thank this seed with its potency
To bring forth fruits so copiously
With opened hearts and festivity  
4 20 days of ceremony 
 
You listen
Oh, you listen
We’re thankful that 
You listen

You listen
Yea, you listen
In the morning dew
You glisten

We honor you with crimsoned desire
Following Nanahuatl who jumped in the fire
May your sacrifices continue to inspire
And bring forth gratitude until we expire 

The days are long and the weather is hot
We call on the rains to weather our crops
Bless the labor of men and divined thought 
Honored to sacrifice for all that we got 

We thank this seed with it’s potency
To bring forth fruits so copiously
With opened hearts and festivity  
4 20 days of ceremony 
 
We be handing out the alms for the love of Xipe Totec
Got the gods in the house garlands all around their necks
Sitting on sheaves, leaves of tzapote 
Honoring renewal of life and all that is holy 
Flayed in the way maize loses layers 
With hope of vegetation we given up the prayers
Flayed in the way maize loses layers 
With hope of vegetation we given up the prayers
