a collection of soothing ambiances I stumbled across in my search for eternal wisdom.

Walk Through a Pandemic #3

Growing tired of the liars and the cheats, the deceits of the elites….
Self-unaware at the Vanity Fair -the highest possible priority to saying words
Sow what you reap, bullshit is cheap, selling out to the dragging feet, of the elite
Slipping away, save it for a rainy doomsday, making hay, on the way
Sinking deep in the shadow of the valley of time, bluff on the causes of crime

Conscience

عملت على هذه المقطوعة خلال حرب غزة في أيار من العام ٢٠٢١

لم يتسنى لي ان انشرها حينها. ولا اعتبر هذه فرصة ايضاً . ولا اريد ان اميزها كذلك... تضارب. تماماً كحال بشريتنا.  لعلها حتمية.

هذه تعبير عن حزن روحي تجاه الحرب. فتأتي الاصوات باردة ومشتتة. ضائعة في فضاء لا تجد نفسها فيه. 

في حين ان الحرب تأتي لتسيطر. الأصوات هنا تأتي عكس ذلك، ربما لتكتشف لماذا يحصل كل هذا؟

سلاماً للأرواح التي فَقدت نفسها في الحروب لعلها تجد نفسها في إثير آخر.

Eyes on the prize and the latest lies …. he said
Lead us on to the bridge of highs…. he said
Milk and honey, follow the money … …he said
Giving up the ghost of the Sunday roast… … he said

Fool Britannia, selling off the waves
Fool Britannia, selling off the waves

Offering the lamb for the latest scam…he said
And it came to pass, following the ass…he said
Disciples scream as he’s selling the dream…he said
Playing the clown as the people drown…he said

Fool Britannia, selling off the waves
Fool Britannia, selling off the waves

On your side with the mockery of pride… he said
Believe in me and the land of the free… he said
Onward Faustian soldiers march… he said
In the theatre absurd, he doesn’t mean a word he said

Fool Britannia, selling off the waves
Fool Britannia, selling off the waves

C (me): guitars, voice, stuff
M (@allopenelectrics): selling the sax...

Selling The Dream (by C÷M )

Taking five, waiting for the time to arrive, searching for the will to survive, on the drive of your lives
Taking four, chilling for another cold war, dreaming of the broken dance floor, falling through another trap door, hoping for more
Taking three, dominoes are falling over me, imprisoned in the land of the free, submerged in a fake reality
Taking two, power trippers calling after you, looking for another breakthrough, rejoicing at the callous menu, it’s true
Taking one, mad dogs running for the sun, fat cats have only just begun, creaming cream, having fun

Counting Down

Music to accompany a series of images taken of the same view over a period of about a year. Includes many sunrises. The video is available from:

A walk through time (position 6)

Built around a recording of an alarm forming the audio background to a hospital visit. Musings on dementia.

Turbulent word streams, erratic coherence
Urgent meanings frustratingly mislaid
Inner sense to outer muddle [innocence]
Interface to inner struggle [in your face]
Fragmented paranoia, translucent target, floating beyond the grasp of balanced conscience
Unviolated nuance beyond interpretation
Disjointed intelligence, resentful agitation

Agitation

Samoa Compilation

Boffins Are Baffled

It's been a while since I posted my latest track, which in fact dated back to 20 years ago. I've been struggling with several issues, and sadly I haven't had many chances to record any new stuff, these latest months or years. This time I won't say things are going to get better in future, because I'm not so sure they will; still I really hope so.
This piece is about spiritual dawning.

A combination of bemused rantings into the disinterested void & ambient doodling. Visit https://craigwinstanley.online I would like to create dark impenetrable experimental music, but I'm too fond of melody...
