Time Of Stings

Music to listen to while wandering through an airport; they seem to have a unique atmosphere, perhaps contributed  to by the equalization of all people into 'travelers'. Unique also in cases where you may frequent a specific hub over a period of time, perhaps a lounge inside it, maybe even those who work there, that space can become a familiar and comfortable atmosphere within a city you may never step foot in.

Flight NL623

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

This is something I found in my old laptop. 
I made this track like 10 years ago, with GarageBand, without any kind of knowledge in producing electronic music. 
So, don't be mean with this one;)

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 )

This Radiohead cover is a collaboration of the first order with my dear friend Chris Maness (@user-419254289-15129531). He's playing guitar and singing in this one, as well as having mixed the whole thing, and added the beat. I'm in here playing piano, organ, bass, and synth. This one took us about a month to get in the can, but I think it was worth it. I'm very excited to be working with Chris, as he's a top notch player, arranger, singer, and producer. We'll have more covers and originals coming soon, so keep your ears open!

Karma Police (with cgmaness--Radiohead cover)

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

The fantastic percussions of Sonic Kitchen are a complete theme on itsown. I only tried to do my best with synths and programming.

DANCE OF THE KING FISHER (WITH SONIC KITCHEN)

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

Dark Times - Music & Lyrics by REKHA - IYERN [Fe]

Livin' in
Just living in dark times
B-L-U-E
We're livin' in dark times
Dark times, times, times, times, times, times...

Oh We're livin' in dark times
We are
Livin' so dark
In the blue
An ocean of madness

What have we done
What have we done
What have we done
Huh-Hun...Huh-Hun...Huh-Hun...
Huh-Hun...Huh-Hun...Huh-Hun-Ho...

Livin' in dark times, Oh
Livin' in dark times, times, times
We are, we are so blue

Oh-Ho, Won't somebody help
Help me 
I'm going mad
From livin' in dark times
Oh don't you understand

Oh Won't somebody help me
Help, I'm going mad
From livin' in dark times, times, times, times, times

Wo-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh...
Livin' in dark times
Ah...Ah, Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh
Livin' in, livin' in
Livin' in dark times

Don't you understand that
I'm going mad
From the sadness of our time

Just livin' in dark times

start to make it out
shyly turning luck
hold my breath and bite my tongue
don't look that way too much

it wouldn't be the first time
the ground you're on has fallen away

I'm losing count of all the days I've wasted
oh all I want's to feel like something's taking

thread pulled out
honest mistake
blue pieces scattered in your wake

you lost track of where you are
look up, it's all gone wrong

lying awake
tell me how much more I need to wait

forget about the last time 
the hold you know will fall away

I'm losing count of all the days I've wasted
oh all at once I feel like something's taking

This track has been recorded and produced by Teth Sin (@teth-sin) for the Open Call to COVER A SONG BY A 70'S OR 60'S BAND organized by the electronic/experimental netlabel CIAN ORBE (https://humanfobia.jimdofree.com/cian-orbe-netlabel/), and it's been included in the compilation "V/A - 60's/70's Bands Tribute"  (https://archive.org/details/va-60s70s-bands-tribute) - November 28, 2020. This version released on SoundCloud features an alternate mix and mastering of the track included in the compilation.
Big thanks to Sábila Orbe (@sabila-orbe - @humanfobia - @filmy-ghost) for including this cover despite having been quite a rushed job.  I hope John Lennon won’t roll over in his grave… But I’m afraid his soul has endured much worse than this, during these last 40 years. May he rest in peace.
