It's mind blowing for me to realise that it is almost exactly 20 years since Porcupine Tree made their first ever live appearance, at a small club called the Nag's Head in High Wycombe, UK on the 4th December 1993. To commemorate the anniversary here is a recording from the archives of the first song played at that first ever show, the Van Der Graaf Generator / Dead Can Dance sampling, David Gilmour meets The Orb fusion of Voyage 34 (years before he did actually collaborate with The Orb!), the birth of PT as a band and a performing entity.  It was recorded straight from the mixing desk so the balance is a bit strange, but actually considering how nervous we must have all been, it's not bad at all.

PORCUPINE TREE - Voyage 34 (Nags Head 4/12/1993)

I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a ticket to ride
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet

And get along with it all
Go down where the people say "y'all"
Sing a song with a friend
Change the shape that I'm in,
And get back in the game,
And start playin' again

I'd like to stay but I might have to go to start over again
Might go back down to Texas, might go to somewhere that I've never been
And get up in the mornin' and go out at night
And I won't have to go home
Get used to bein' alone
Change the words to this song
Start singin' again

I'm tired of runnin' 'round lookin' for answers to questions that I already know
I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go
Count the days and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle again
Feed the pigeons some clay
Turn the night into day
Start talkin' again, when I know what to say

I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a ticket to ride
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet
And get along with it all

Go down where the people say "y'all"
Feed the pigeons some clay
Turn the night into day
Start talkin' again
When I know what to say

Today is The Day

When I woke up today 
I had the guts to finally say
Told myself today was going to be the day

Wipe that smirk right off of your sleeve
Put on some ambition and try and believe
Deep down I knew it was up to me

There is no reason why I cant fly 
Just as high as the birds up in the sky
Making Honey out of other peoples Money 
Isn't all there is to me

I figured out its OK just to be me
I figured Out it's OK just to be me

No I don't want to live alone
Alone all by myself
There is too much to share with somebody else
So I give you my trust 
It's worth it
There is no doubt to me

When I come down alive
Through these crescent eyes of which I will carry
Knowing better now 
Direction is no longer blurry

With a smile I will look back at you
Holding back the laughter and the tears
There is no reason why I cant die now
No Failure, No Fortune , No Fears

Through the years, the smoke and the mirrors
There is no place I would rather be
It's because of you I found myself My dear

it's OK, It's All OK

Today's the Day

Miranda Foxx & The Bloodhounds - All I Need

This is my third release (25.11.2016) as a solo artist. It's available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, etc. The song is heavily inspired by Johnny Cash and is about the film 'There Will Be Blood'. Huge thanks to Mark Tyas (for playing bass), Sam Hopper (for perfect beats - as per usual!). Biggest thanks of all to Al Heslop who recorded, mixed, and produced the song at Creative Control Studio, Bracknell.

I present my second arrangement of an original song by James Rivas. 

Don’t hesitate to visit his fine cloud at @j-rivas

James Rivas: Vocals
Dirk Radloff: Orchestra-arrangement

Instrumentation: Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Violoncello, Bass, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Horns (2 voices), Trumpets (2 voices), Trombones (2 voices), Tuba, Timpani, Cymbals, Tam-Tam, Triangel, Harp

Jimmy came up with this song in a stripped down version with Keys and vocals and the song immediately stroke me, when I heard it the first time and I also knew, that I would like to create an orchestra-arrangement for it like I did with „You and I“. „Here comes the rain“ is very dramatic and romantic song and a great example of Jimmy’s songwriting-talent. 
I developed the arrangement in the Sibelius notation software with a lot of reharmonization and independent contrapuntal voices and I extended the song with a long instrumental outro-section. Then I went on with the production in Logic. The topic „rain“ inspired me to use some pizzicato-sections, tremolo and Triangel to paint a musical picture of rain. At the end you can even hear some musical lightnings. All in all the result seems to be a blend of european classical music around 1900 and american broadway-tradition.

Recording notes: I was never totally happy with the brass of my VSL Special edition, so I purchased a few months ago brass-samples from Samplemodeling.

http://www.samplemodeling.com/en/index.php

This song features a combination of both products. The brass is generated with Samplemodeling, while all other sounds are from VSL Special edition. Maybe you ask yourself, why I am not recording the violins myself. Well I tried years ago to achieve a violin-group with multi-tracking and the experiment failed. It’s not possible to recreate an ensemble-sound with just a single instrument. Each player plays slightly different. Each player has another violin, which sounds different. In an usual orchestra you have a group of twelve first and twelve second violins, so you would have to use twentyfour different violins and I am sure it would still not sound like a group. A single violin is very different. In this case the samples are (Thank god) not as convincing as the real player.
This is my third attempt to produce for full orchestra after „Deacon Blues“ and „You and I“ and I am still learning regarding Sample-libraries.

From the album
"Say Goodbye to Ground Control" 
now available on Bandcamp
Mixed, Mastered, co produced by Russ Sinfield https://soundcloud.com/russell-sinfield
Blackwhole art by Angelo Atencio

Lyrics:

"how did we come to this place
and sacrifice our time and space
for all these riches that aren't real
distracting us from how we feel?

like a black hole that pulls you in,
we're told we failed when we begin.
who would discourage us to shine
instead of making us divine?

but we'll succeed collectively 
to make our own reality
free to live inside our hearts - 
that kind of freedom is always ours.

so give the TV back it's soul,
say goodbye to ground control,
take that chance and step outside,
and don't forget, enjoy the ride."

Lissy is a Composer and Session Singer working with various companies worldwide. Her latest achievement is being on Bethesda’s Wolfenstein: The New Order where she covers Chris Isaak’s song, ‘I Believe’ for the ending soundtrack of the game. This is one of those tracks that just fell into place and features my first recording with a Ukulele bass - bet you thought it was a double bass! I kept this really simple with a Jazz kit and neck pickup on my fender telecaster through a fender amp, add a little tube compression and reverb and what you hear is the result. Thank you to David and Sanna for their continued appreciation and support of my work.

Low Down:

Pack your conscience into artificial skin
Run the program for your life
On high desert mesas the Mescaline kicked in
Peeled the blinders from our eyes
Riding West on titanium knees
Fresh water abound

The greed it came
The conscience went
With choices on the side
We're all victims here of consequence
and low down dirty lies
Stuck in the eye of the hurricane
We're all twisted up inside
We're just walking in circles for the rest of our lives
There's no chance for us to survive

Low Down

Produced and mixed by Russell Sinfield @russell-sinfield- thank you Russell!
A few weeks ago I was thinking about if Jimi Hendrix were around looking at the political system and what he might have to say about it. He was a brilliant lyricist and found a cool way of telling storys about people and the inner mind of those people. I look at him living in a very divisive time and leading a very non-divisive existence. So with much respect do I put this track out, to Jimi and his fans, Jimi straight up taught me how to look at guitar, and think with songs.  So  much love to Jimi and to his family. I did the painting of Jimi last week as I messed around with  guitar work. I hope y'all can dig on it. 
Cheers

Look at all these jokers
Just trying to play that  game
They got Stuntmen , props and posters 
The politics of hate
Forget the children
Of the war on povery
They got can drives, 
Christmas cards and hustlers
The propaganda of today
each and every day

	Before you say it ain’t on me
	when you turn away
	we walk away 
	on chaging  

	What do you think 
	that hates gonna bring you
	when everybody knows 
 	it takes love 
	to make us safe
	Dont get your self all 
	caught up 
	and confused 
	the more things change 
	the more 
	they stay 
	the same

Look at all these children
just trying to make their way
they got airstrikes, morterfire
and carbombs 
the politics of hate
Forget Alepo
They say its gone
They say its gone
 today
They got  hospitals,
humans and bandaids
getting darker everyday
each and everyday 

	Before you say it ain’t on me
	when you turn away
	we walk away 
	on chaging  

	What do you think 
	that hates gonna bring you
	when everybody knows 
 	it takes love 
	to make us safe
	Dont get your self all 
	caught up 
	and confused 
	the more things change 
	the more 
	they stay 
	the same

Look at all these people
just trying to have their say
They got voter fraud, supression, 
and harassment
The politics of change
Forget tomorrow
We got to deal with this today
We got shooters, hackers
and con-men
Taking our voices away
each and everyday 
	
	Before you say it ain’t on me
	when you turn away
	we walk away 
	on chaging  

	What do you think 
	that hates gonna bring you
	when everybody knows 
 	it takes love 
	to make us safe
	Dont get your self all 
	caught up 
	and confused 
	the more things change 
	the more 
	they stay 
	the same

While to the West
to the West as to the East
Men sink into the dust

See,
See our gardens, our forests
Bearded rocks and stone waves

See,
See our gardens, our forests
Streams of pus and sad rivers

See,
See our gardens, our forests
Shell crash and war market

While to the West
to the West as to the East
The birds go away with the light
The birds go away with the light ....
