Lockdown Lasting

Calmed by the ocean storm 
Cool breeze when I get warm
That covers me and takes my sorrow away

Healed by the night time sky
Love seems to pass me by
Every time I look into your eyes

Take my Love and go - Take my love, take my love and go

Lost in the desert dust
My love is only lust
I never learned what love was really about
Learned to put myself first
No water only thirst and love is just another mirage in the sand.

Take My Love and Go

Boss Fight

Into the Woods

TX RX

I want to reiterate Josh's comments in the write up below... this project was the first time I'd met John and after some emails and watching some of his videos on YouTube I'm super impressed with his guitar skills.  He has mastered the LZ catalog from what I can tell. His playing has the vibe and attitude of Jimmy Page and that's not an easy thing to do.   Hope you enjoy his playing as much as I have!

Cast of Characters:

John_Anthony-- @john-anthony-871225464 --guitar, mandolin

The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel – vocals

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3 , @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and high harmony in the end vocals, mastering

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman  –Stephen– production and mix

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1  –-four string fretless bass, melody and third harmony on the end vocals

This song actually began more than a year ago, when Ken and Josh were just sniffing each other out. They'd been working on Zeppelin's Night Flight, for those of you who remember that long ago, and Josh was having trouble with latency in his recording. Out of frustration, he recorded a really rough version of this, to which Ken put really amazingly perfect drums. Shortly after, he got his recording issues settled and they continued on with Night Flight, shelving this half baked creature for more than a year. But it wasn't forgotten. 

  (Josh) In the meantime, I'd been following John Anthony on both YouTube (https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=-ooQcUUQaemrk-NH) and on the Cloud. If you were ever curious about how Jimmy Page's fingers looked in the studio, do yourself a favor and check him out on there, too. Anyway, since he can play literally every Zep song note for note, I figured I'd ask him if he would replace my pitiful by comparison guitar part with his own. He not only did that in numerous sections, as Page would've, but played the mandolin for it, too. Now, we had a song that was almost ready, but of course we needed someone to fill Plant's part. So, of course we asked The Mysterious Decibel if he'd do the honors, which he came through with in grand fashion. 
  
Now that the song was done, we needed it to be mixed, too. So, we tapped our resident mixing expert, Stephen to do that for us. It was a surprisingly difficult mix to get everyone to agree on. And there were philosophical questions that arose during the mixing process, too. We're very lucky, though, that Stephen is not only an expert producer, but a great teammate as well, with the patience of your favorite high school teacher. 

Anyway, our hope is that we did the almighty Led Zeppelin honor with this one. We hope you all enjoy our reverent tribute to one of our collective favorites as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Hey Hey What Can I Do- (Eclectic Collective) w/ John Anthony

artist: Savage
Year 1983
Artist: Roberto Zanetti, Italian singer and music producer from Massa, Tuscany. As a singer, he is known under the stage name Savage.

Lyrics:
When you find the light to an upset shade away
If you never, never let me go with every melody
And you often were at leaving just my life
If you're really not to tug an end
Bye to my fantasy, me too
When you need to get another chance today
For a time there is the past, a path with you unbeen
Do you rather like to feel what is my life
If you're really going to listen, baby
At my fantasy, and me
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Just a random access memories of dreams
As you're hangin' upon me, do you love melody?
Thief of golden toys to an upset time away
As you have been at last we have the melody, we too
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight
Don't let me go
Don't cry tonight

Dont Cry Tonight

Just You And Me

Just You and me

( για τους επόμενους )
Without foreplay
Fuck the judges
We will go against it!
While the clear ones are spinning,
Their blue ones are twisted and shoved under the court ...
Eternal as groot,
But we still need soil...
Have you ever known here what a riot is, and what it will be...
Octopus after octopus; a cycle of destruction;
"Open your bags, show your hands;
That's the greenie zip,
If we had Islam, we would be armless."

Do not solder this abyss
By big actions,
Hunger cannot be appeased with cereals,
Minds cannot be awakened by corpses,
Now you are on telescopes
under magnifying glasses;
Running under bullets, intrigues of murder - the picture of the century ...
for years in the womb until it bursts.
Bullion Stacks
Bodies in the furnace
Construction sites and traffic jams 
Strings and bits are long
Slim as a
ghettoboy "What's wrong with you"

Steadfast as Zarathustra,
Alex and Abubakar Salim are fused together;
I am from the very origins,
Peoples kneading is thick,
The servants of the narrow are empty in their souls...
Tied to the main flaw of the world
And as luck would have it, it was impossible to choose;
They won't break me or us anyway 
Clans of squalid old freaks,
Bloodthirsty men and women, grandfathers and babies...
ass owners do not share with everyone, only with the guys who warm themselves in their bed.
Anti-Semites and gays
According to the work in the media
About family values,
Turn around bitches! This Sin is also being molded on you.

If there was a god, he would have been resurrected long ago
And bombs wouldn't fly to Odessa...
I've been fucking the system for years,
I'm a veteran here.
Ibuprofen Pallets;
I'm going to the beats again for something...
"..What if the tickets go missing?.."
And we are wrapped in a pool,
Flying from the waterfall
And there are no shoots nearby,
And there's nowhere to drop the anchor,
I am the fifth Avenger since the beginning,
Paranoia guards: "there is a raid everywhere ...",
And So there is little Air,
With me, only maself is next to me..,
There are corpse rows in my head,
They begged for mercy;
Today you are red everywhere, you are not welcome everywhere...
and I would like to serenade my muses in Naples...

The vipers still have their pockets full
Evening, 9 pm, windows are closed, but I'm catching space signals,
Stories arise from the void...
I run when I have the authority,
I'm healing my head with lines,
Who calls where on a sunny day? ..,
I think I'll spend it with my daughters.
A Bedouin in the desert, there are not even two of us..;
I'm building sand castles, everything is new in the morning ...
A couple of exploits count,
I can see right through the Goldfields...
don't forget it's dangerous to be close,
You won't notice and they'll squeeze you.
A relative of Kingston;
Layers of snow ice and mud in me;
The remaining risk is substantial,
Everyone was warned in advance,
".Was it not enough for six in the morning and a handful of faggots
with amazed witnesses?.."
If it weren't for the beats and if it weren't for you..;
Killed so much in yourself..;
And from now on everything is different,
Better get the clip ready,
I wanted to build my own emirate,
I was kind of glad,
But things quickly went downhill,
Jumpcut and again that totalitarian apparatus;
I'm not a collaborator, but there are gods.,
To whom the mic would have passed;
And we will lay a melody of paradise in your ears,
It's not for the labels and it's not for the money.,
The notes are eternal,
Live carelessly,
Don't be the same,
Have a core,
Mon ami,
Take care of the locals,
Feed the poor,
Fight the demons,
Either alone or with those,
Don't run from the shadows,
Tear down the walls!
-
We're from the vagina to the grave 
We fly with the wind of balida...

It wasn't as lucky as Ishmael.
With these waves I have
Obsession, like pe***il's.
Cold as Antarctica in summer;

Rockets, planets, the cult of hunger - what are we talking
about When wars are still going on,
When do people warm instant noodles..?

FRAWSTAKWA X RiZLiX - Lemme Show You

Getting creative during lockdown, this is very basic software so hoping to explore it further with live instruments or better software. Inspired by film, celtic and ethereal music for this one- hope you enjoy!!

Lockdown Lullaby

Another lockdown inspired track in my favourite key- i hope you like the unusual sound it creates and can get a sense of narrative when you listen to it. Also just using musescore like my previous track.

Lockdown Light

This was the first track that I created in Lockdown using a Sibellius free trial but i found the instruments weren't as I hoped. My friend then put it into Logic for me and it sounded much better!

Lockdown Lethargy

Another remix of an earlier track to provide a more complex and electronic sound.

Lockdown Labyrinth

Back to basic musescore software with this brand new dramatic song it builds as the song goes along- I hope you enjoy it!

One of my own photos dramatic sky in typical Scottish weather!

Lockdown Limitations

I'm a very busy self employed piano teacher and music workshop facilitator for people with learning disabilities. I have been lucky enough to do this since moving  up to beautiful Scotland in late 2016 which is now my home. I love my job but work long hours and have found composing to be a great way to relax and it's something I have wanted to do properly for such a long time!

I've now  been making music since the start of lockdown, it gave me the time I needed to properly pursue it as a hobby, I now try and do it when I can on days off but wish I could devote more time to it again! My music is mostly ambient/chillout with inspirations of world music, folk, dance and prog thrown in! I also love film music too...hope you enjoy listening.
