One of my Apple loop mixes/compositions. I'm really happy with this one...captured my thoughts exactly.

==================
帰り道 / the way home
==================
そして今日もまた日が暮れる
なだらかな 上り坂の向こう
どこかで見たことのある風景
独りの　帰り道

似たような ため息をつき
似たような 人々を見送り
通し番号のような日々に
章立てを　必要とする

順序よく 居なくなって
順序よく 現れ流離う
ひとたび リズムが狂えば
底のない悲しみに抱かれ

「ご自由に お入りなさい
招待は しませんけれど」
そんな　侮辱に耐えて
ちっぽけな　譲れないもの

そして今日もまた日が暮れる
なだらかな 上り坂の向こう
どこかで見たことのある風景
独りの　帰り道

似たような 足音をたて
似たような カードをかざし
逆算で成立する日々に
秒読みを必要とする

順序よく ドアを叩き
順序よく 逃れ身を隠す
ひとたび リズムが狂えば
たえ間ない憂鬱とあそび

「大切なもの お出しなさい
持っていても しかたないでしょう」
そんな　屈辱をこえて
ずっとずっとずっとずっと先へ

そして今日もまた日が暮れる
なだらかな上り坂の向こう
どこかで見たことのある風景
独りの　帰り道

concave & convex

帰り道 / on the way home

a Domicile
--------------

A Domicile,  au lieu de la place, où l’on se perd
Carrefour des villes,  un film de Vim,  mon écran sur place
Etoile à cinq branches,  je vis-au cœur
Les uns se croisent et parfois se toisent,  c’est toi , t’es toi !

On ne peut pas partir d’ici
Posté collé là,  A domicile
On ne veut pas quitter ce toit

Chacun sa case,  un damier grand,  je joue taquin
Tu vises ma place,  un souffle de vent,  serait-il temps ?
Plus beau  plus haut ou bien tu me mens
Faut-il y aller ou bien rester, cette fois, sept fois

On ne peut pas partir d’ici
Posté collé là,  A domicile
On ne veut pas quitter ce toit
Posté collé là,  A domicile
Je ne vais pas ciller cette fois

Hope you are well....
Isolated... caged.... but feeling closer to nature then ever,  watching the birds fly free and listening to their song.

I Can't Stand The Waste (Remaster)

As we find our new paths and move forward in this changing world we should also reflect on being grateful for what we have. "Slow down and take it in".

Take It In

Psych dub jam - with a rare outing for the Shergold Custom Masquerader guitar!
Percussion tracks all mixed from Laurentwirz's A Tension Trance ( Looperman)
HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED :)

Drumming Dub

Recorded a while back with an Epiphone SG, DIY Dwarf Destroyer clone pedal and a second fuzz I wired up incorrectly giving interesting analog synth like results as the knobs were turned.
