Musings on the death of conscience

Composed and performed with the Kueng bass recorder in F, and spontaneously recorded with an iphone in the medieval nunnery of Vreta, Sweden, on 2 March 2022. The performance space was a small round side chamber built before 1139. I am playing with the unique acoustics of the room [no amplification on site, no processing]. I was on my way to Finland, to the Saari residency, traveling on ground via Sweden.

'Sonic Bayou', written and produced by Editor Cole. I wrote this recently with the idea of it being on an EP for spa music, but when It was complete, It worked really well with the rest of the tracks I had written for 'Landing Party', which is an electronic album I'm releasing this spring. It's mostly ambient, dark ambient, atmospheric, sometimes hypnotic, and cinematic in parts. I've yet to finish mixing this, but as ever, best to listen with headphones, or through good monitors.

The essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and commodities into capital. The live green earth is transformed into dead gold bricks, with luxury items for the few and toxic slag heaps for the many. The glittering mansion overlooks a vast sprawl of shanty towns, wherein a desperate, demoralized humanity is kept in line with drugs, television, and armed force.

Dissidents Of Reality - We Have A Soundbite

What are words worth?

Time and tide and Slime and slide and Crime and cried and
Dream and died and Scream inside and Gleam and glide and
Mime and mired and Prime and pride and Rhyme and ride and
Vine and vired and Wine and wired and Shrine and shade 
Fear and fade and Line and lied and Spine and spied and
Time and tide

Much admired and Acts inspired and
Lost inside and Totally wired and
Petrified 
Events conspired and
Odds defied
Paternal pride 
Reluctant bride 
Secrets confide and Warm inside
False override
Gentrified
Personified
Occupied and
Time and tide

Withering looks
Dithering minds

Won’t somebody think of the children?

Reverse Sexuality

Shabboo Harper - Reverse Sexuality (Snippet) [Speedsound REC.]

It’s hard to put faith in the wisdom of choice
When reality sinks in a cesspool of noise
…from overgrown boys

Old Aunty balances truth with lies
And fantasy island is never corrupted with facts
…by the usual hacks

They wallow in excesses of self-esteem
They swagger and they bluster, born to rule
…the archetypal fool

Convinced yourself that they’re better than you
But scratch away the surface and you see what’s true
They’re imposters too

First collaborative material with GrevusAnjl. The result of a detailed perspective from our sides of what could be generic described as Sci-Fi - if it was about only fiction looking at the current global vision with many types of scenarios going on, for the individual (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) or the collective (the cultural, social, political...). By that we can embrace the whole energy spectrum then, specially electromagnetic- the quantum and very specific quantity (amorphism). Well, this path is not linear, but we hope you enjoy the trip!

-------------------

Resultado de um primeiro material em parceria com GrevusAnjl e com nossa perspectiva detalhada sobre o que seria genericamente descrito como ficção científica - se isso não se aplicasse às nossas vidas práticas, olhando para a atual visão global com tantos cenários acontecendo, seja no âmbito individual (físico, mental, emocional, espiritual) ou coletivo (cultural, social, político etc). Por isso podemos abranger todo o espectro de energia, especialmente eletromagnético - o quantum e quantidades bem específicas (matéria amorfa). Bom, o caminho não é linear, mas esperamos que você aproveite a viagem!

What is hidden
Is hidden underneath...
On profound waters...
... Submerged...
It's deep and dense
Underneath the skin.
Until you rediscover yourself.
You and your body -
Which lived many time ago;
And it's here today
On another reality.
We're living the 3rd dimension adventure.

Memory remain the same
The memory remain
Take me down;
Tear me down but the memory remain.
Unravel...

(Another chance
to remake another realities)
Pictures and frames;
(Different experiences)
It remains the same.
(The own body)
Pictures and scenarios
of change.

What is hidden
Is hidden underneath...

Undiscover;
Rediscover through a new perception;
A new point of view...

What is hidden
Is hidden underneath...

To view a different side
From old realities
(To be lived 
All over again)

(Still under editing)

Oh High, High Park
So beautiful the time
Use to be when we
We were joyously 
Hangin' out

Those were the days baby
When we enjoyed 
Every bit of our lives
Hey, Eh, Eh, Eh, Eh
Eh eh eh
Oh, Yey Ee Yey Eh
Hangin' out with good friends
Makin' sweet love in the afternoon
Drinkin' wine, gettin' high

Oh lookin' so fine
We were lookin' so fine
Oh in our beautiful clothes
In our beautiful mode
With our hair in the wind
Feelin' free, free, free

High, High, High Park
So many fond, fond memories
Ah Oh
Oh Yeah
Ah oh 
Eh Eh Ye Ee
Oh Ho Wo Oo 
Oh Ho
Hey Eh Eh
Eh Eh Eh

Doobie Doo
Doobie, Doobie, Doo-Yeah
Ah Ah Yeah

High, High, High Park
Where we use to hang out
Hangin' out in the sunshine
When all was so beautiful 
So fine, for us

This a collaboration with the great TexMex Shaman. It has awesome guitars, 808 bass and spooky lyrics. Perfect for a Halloween 2020 release. I mixed and produced this one, even got to play some Les Paul, and TexMex Shaman added the unmistakable lead guitar. His solo/breakdown in the middle still gives me goose bumps! Enjoy!

On the musical side, this is basically the summary of a funky nightmare.
Teth Sin's lyrics represent an attempt of applying
electronic poetry to digitally crafted music: its starting point
consisted in extrapolating a few random sentences from an English
translation of the novel "Morel's Invention" by the Argentinian novelist
Adolfo Bioy Casares, subsequently randomizing the words order with an
old, discontinued software for Mac OS9. The resulting untidy text has
been eventually reorganized in sentences and verses, partially
influenced by a rational effort. This ostensible delirium possibly
conceals some hazy remarks on contemporary lifetime and/or today's
so-called "music industry". Of course, multiple interpretations are
allowed and encouraged.

As Teth's process of producing lyrics 'cuts through it all' you might say, 
Myrh highlights that strategy, singing "I'm just gonna walk right through"
coupled with attitudinal lines of "well, well now, ooooo well now!" :D

LYRICS:

walk right through
hey
walk right through
i’m just gonna walk right through
oh well
hey

In this hole of suffering our crushed flowers (to the left)
sound like sleeping deserts made out of steel. (to the right)
Your round, intense phonograph (- let me just walk - of me)
cannot believe in my constant insomnia. (oh well)

We control the resounding island from our blatant spot,
until the ground will open its greedy mouth.

Why does time speak louder than my nerves? (oh well)
An intruder sun kneels on the mud of repetition. (oh)
Pain parties continue as my monologue flows, (oh)
sparkling inside your amazing asylum.

A hard travel we had in our dead dream,
listening to your infernal gong.

Partly insane peers, polluted with lethargy,
chose to be heard in their childish garden.
Recalling a chance of immortality, I slowly noticed
an improper capacity of perceiving the last trembling sunrise. (easy, easy!)

well well well
oh! hey!
mm hmm, well now!
well, well

Is my unjustified air replying already? (well well now)
My second sky is constantly scared.

Strange trampled waters repeat their swaying escape (oh, to the left)
and speak of things happening in my mutilated nightmare. (to the right)
An invisible madness kept vocalizing (oh oh oh well)
and made our distress larger than reality.

iamma just walk right through
well well now!
walk right through
now!
i’m just gonna walk right through
well well now!
ooo well!

Teth Sin f. Myrh | Larger Than Reality

For the 31st Solar Kama Sutra song I decided to challenge myself a bit and do something in 7/4 time.  I tried remembering a band I heard do that and thought, "Isn't Pink Floyd's "Money" in 7/4 time?"  I remembered hearing it and thinking it was...

...  Turns out it is!  So for that reason I thought of Pink Floyd, and tried to do a Pink Floydish sound.    It's also a nod to Radiohead's "Pyramid Song".  I tried to capture the same feeling that song gives me, but with Solar Kama Sutra this time. 
(by the way, Solar Kama Sutra has always been just one person.  It's just the name for what I call the music)

Since Radiohead already used "Pyramid" which is well-known since ancient Egypt to be the coolest shape, I had to go with something else.  "Sphere Song" and "Cube Song" ?...  Well...  Those song titles just aren't gonna work....   Maybe "Dodecahedron Song"?....  Hmm... That actually sounds pretty catchy...  Feel free to use it!  

 My vocals are used more heavily on this track than it seems.  Throughout the track I tried to make my vocals sound like guitars and other instruments

  And definitely hats off to Pink Floyd for making a hit song in a 7/4 time signature.   How many times has that been done before?!

And of course, hats off to Stonehenge.  The ultimate inspiration for this track

lastly, much respect & love for all of you who have dropped by once again

- John

Stonehenge Song

Voltaïc

I dedicated the song "Monique" to two women: 
First of all to my grand aunt Monique, who was murdered as a Jew by the Nazis in Auschwitz. I know her only from photos and the anecdotes of my mother. Through her tragic life story, her unique face with the big, jet-black eyes, I still feel connected to her today. 
In this song I imagined meeting her shortly before her gassing in Auschwitz. How I accompanied her to the gas chambers, how we got to know each other a little before the inevitable happened.  
      
Secondly, this song is dedicated to another Monique. Her stage name was "Barbara" and she was a charismatic French chanson singer. What would I have given to be at one of her concerts. But when she had her big time, especially in the 1960s, I was still much too young. So all I have left are their Youtube videos, of which I would like to put a link here: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPPZMyMNQCM

Her face and her eyes, her charisma and expression remind me so much of my grand aunt.  Like her, she was a Jewish woman of French descent. And with songs like "Göttingen" she contributed significantly to an understanding between the Jews and the land of the perpetrators- Germany.  

Lyrics in English:

Monique

I visited you in Auschwitz, 
Cursed this freezing cold murder place

See you coming with the gas chamber train 
Only one photo at my place with your face

Your deep black eyes look at me
Already as a child they magically fascinated me

I go to you, take you in my arms 
In the coldness of killing we both get warm

We go together, you tell me about you 
Of your life, your joys, your pain

And you listen to me 
Get to know me briefly

The butchers, they wave
The shadows, they sink down

We both still have some time left 
The cruel suffering is already approaching

You show me the brooch in the photo 
You show me how you move your hands to play the piano

The time fold now pulls you away from me
There to the shameful brick building
I can only look after you
You disappear in there 

Gassed and burned
But unforgettably burned into my soul


Deutscher Originaltext:

Monique

Hab` Dich in Auschwitz besucht 
Diesen eiskalten Mord-Ort verflucht

Seh` Dich da kommen, mit dem Gaskammer-Zug 
Nur ein Foto bei mir mit Deinem Gesicht

Deine tiefschwarzen Augen schaun` mich an
Schon als Kind zogen sie mich magisch in den Bann

Ich geh` zu Dir hin, nehm` Dich in den Arm 
In der Kälte des Mordens wird uns beiden warm

Wir gehen zusammen, Du erzählst mir von Dir 
Von Deinem Leben, Deinen Freuden, Deinem Schmerz

Und Du hörst mir zu. Lernst mich kurz kennen

Die Schlächter, sie winken
Die Schatten, sie senken sich ab

Noch haben wir beide etwas Zeit 
Heran rückt schon das grausame Leid

Du zeigst mir die Brosche, die auf dem Foto trägst 
Du zeigst mir wie Du Deine Hände zum Klavierspiel bewegst

Die Zeitfalte zieht Dich nun fort von mir
Dorthin zu dem Schand-Backsteinbau
Ich kann Dir nur nachsehen
Du verschwindest dort drin 

Vergast und verbrannt
Doch unvergeßlich in meine Seele eingebrannt

Monique
