Toast To Our Learnings

Let there be light

dac insomniac + r.s.stropharia - darkspeaker II - live impro-set (15.12.2019)

Really great to finally release this track which evolved into a complicated prog rock beast as we wanted to create a Tool vibe… we hope we achieved it. Lyrics are based on my own battles with inner demons linked with Jungian psychology exploring the id or shadow. Please check out my friend From Sands other fantastic work here @from-sands he is incredibly talented!
Lyrics
I must descend, for me to ascend 
regress to redress, the balance of my broken mind 
the shadow is suspending me from all that I intend to be
diving deep into the well to save the ghosts who dwell, 
I must descend, to bring me back to life
to bring me back to life
I must descend, for me to ascend
now the shadow is suspending me from 
all that I intend to be
sink back down to images of agony 
terror is my mirror 
of fear
suppressing time inside my mind
layers of repression 
testing the possession of the demons I keep inside
intent on override
shadow, my shadow lies over me (rep)
I despise the incubus deep inside, poisoning my soul, crawling inside me
deep down the well

A LIVE PERFORMANCE !!!

It is with great pleasure that I make a joint release of this performance of Monday's Song by the very talented Liz Dicker @liz-dicker.

Monday's Song is one of the songs in the "Days of the Week" song series that I have released over the last few years.  Sadly, all those releases are of virtual performances.  This is my first live performance release.  

I feel that I have come along way improving my virtual piano performances over the last many years.  I have even very occasionally lulled an unsuspecting listener into thinking it was me playing (if only).  However, there is nothing like a live performance as most clearly demonstrated by this wonderful rendition of the work by Liz.
 
Liz's playing brings the piece to life!  She delivers subtleties and nuances that I could not even imagine.  So I would like to thank Liz again, this time publicly, for this generous gift and for all the delightful compositions and performances of her own that she has posted on soundcloud.  Please go take a listen https://soundcloud.com/liz-dicker.

As always, thank you for listening and hope you enjoy.

Be safe and stay or get healthy!

I enjoyed hearing this melody on soundcloud and thought to try it out on my accordion.  I had the great good fortune to interest my soundcloud friends Zach and Jore in the tune as well.   Jore added our tracks together to come up with this wonderful version.
