Phoenix Rising


God on fire 
(c) Demetri Vlass All Rights Reserved
The wind is blowing
And the trees are swaying
I smell the scent of a god on fire
My mind is climbing the seven steps
To take a look at the funeral pyre
To the east fire wind water
To the west the unholy daughter
I walk the line and I won’t stop smiling
To go so far with that god on fire 
My throat is burning it could be more
To think of dying is an open door
The gates are open for all to see
The flame is burning for you and me
Look to the east don’t cry for more
God have mercy what the hell for
The gates are open for all to see
The flame is burning for you and me
Look to the east don’t cry for more
God have mercy what the hell for

The wind is blowing
And the trees are swaying
I smell the scent of a god on fire

Rollercoaster

Pick me up
Pull me over
Got my luck from a four-leaf clover
Had you on my mind
Lost you somehow now I’m moving blind
Had you now your’re gone
Count on me to get everything wrong

Chorus
I’m on a rollercoaster baby
Got my foot on the gas getting ready to crash
I’m on a rollercoaster baby
Had my last drink
Last pill
And thought of your love on my mind

Hold me down
Roll the thunder
Had some love until it pulled me under
Had you in my head
Moved around it till you killed it dead
Had you
Now you’re gone
Count on me to get everything wrong
Yeah Yeah

Chorus


I want you back yeah

Chorus


Rollercoaster (my first)

This track features  Demetri Vlass (headcharge777)on Lead Guitar, Backing Guitars, Vocals, Backing Vocals as well as lyrical composition. Screach simply provided the base Rhythm Guitar & Drum Track, thumped some bass and the collaboration took it's own direction. This track is a personal favorite and we hope you find it inspiring as well! 

Darkness & Light
 
When will it all end
why must it all go
can we all be one
will you give your love
will you give your love

floating on this ball
A magical mystery
when will it all go
will I be around

Darkness and light
follow me
Darkness and light
you will see
Darkness and light
is all there will be
Darkness and light
is you and me
Darkness and light
follow me
Darkness and light
is all there will be

Darkness & Light - FT: headcharge777 on Lead Guitars and Vocals

Skeleton Girl

Laying down in the cemetery
My feet were tired and my head was weary
The stars were shining like Tahitian pearls
That's when I met my Skeleton Girl

I watch her dance in the ossuary
Loveliest bones in the cemetery
Wish I could show her all the world
But it just ain't that easy for a Skeleton Girl 

Skeleton Girl
Skeleton Girl
Ain't got no place in the living world
Poor lonely bones
She just want to live
She tries to crawl up underneath my skin

I took her home to meet my family
I thought that they might react badly
My momma's happy that I ain't lonesome
My daddy told me: 
"Go get them bones, son!"

Enjoy the free download! Here is a collection of field recordings that I accumulated during my time in the Adirondacks last summer.  I focused on obtaining natural water, insect, and bird sounds – and was even fortunate enough to capture a hummingbird call.   Finally, I got around to adding one, pretty raw take of fingerstyle acoustic noodling and here is the final product.  (Tuning is Open C-Major.) 

I have also wrapped up the recording/mixing process for my upcoming post-rock album, "To Bloom, To Wither," and am excited to announce that it will be released later this year. Stay tuned.

I've recently uploaded another album from my 'Steamy Vaults' to my Bandcamp page, available for download or streaming and absolutely FREE!

https://steamabacusproductions.bandcamp.com/album/circulation-of-the-light

This is from 'Circulation of the Light' from 1999 and, although the title track, it is quite different to the other seven tracks that comprise the rest of the album - they feature virtually no guitar and consist of long meditative (and admittedly quite psychedelic) synth and sample drone pieces recorded on some borrowed synths/keyboards and rack fx. The tracks are named after the stages of meditation in a Taoist alchemical text and this solo acoustic guitar track is the endpiece to the album.

[from the sleevenotes]

1. Cessation of outflowing
If thou wouldst complete the diamond body with no outflowing,
Diligently heat the roots of consciousness and life.
Kindle light in the blessed country ever close at hand,
And there hidden, let thy true self always dwell.


2. The six periods of circulation in conformity with the law
If one discerns the beginning of the Buddha's path,
There will be the blessed city of the West.
After the circulation in conformity with the law,
there is a turn upward towards heaven when the breath is drawn in.
When the breath flows out energy is directed towards the earth.
One time-period consists of six intervals (hou).
In two intervals one gathers Moni (Sakyamuni).
The great Tao comes forth from the centre.
Do not seek the primordial seed outside!


3. The two energy-paths of function and control
There appears the way of the in-breathing and out-breathing of the
primordial pass.
Do not forget the white path below the circulation in conformity with the law!
Always let the cave of eternal life be nourished through the fire!
Ah! Test the immortal place of the gleaming pearl!


4. The embryo of the Tao
According to the law, but without exertion, one must diligently fill oneself with light.
Forgetting appearance, look within and help the true spirtual power!
Ten months the embryo is under fire.
After a year the washings and baths become warm.


5. The birth of the fruit
Outside the body there is a body called the Buddha image.
The thought which is powerful, the absence of thoughts, is Bodhi.
The thousand-petalled lotus flower opens, transformed through breath-energy.
Because of the crystallization of the spirit, a hundred-fold splendour shines forth.


6. Concerning the retention of the transformed body
Every separate thought takes shape and becomes visible in colour and form.
The total spiritual power unfolds its traces and transforms itself into emptiness.
Going out into being and going into non-being, one completes the miraculous Tao.
All separate shapes appear as bodies, united with a true source.


7. The face turned to the wall
The shapes formed by the spirit-fire are only empty colours and forms.
The light of human nature (hsing) shines back on the primordial, the true.
The imprint of the heart floats in space; untarnished, the moonlight shines.
The boat of life has reached the shore; bright shines the sunlight.


8. Empty infinity
Without beginning, without end,
Without past, without future.
A halo of light surrounds the world of the law.
We forget one another, quiet and pure, altogether powerful and empty.
The emptiness is irradiated by the light of the heart and of heaven.
The water of the sea is smooth and mirrors the moon in its surface.
The clouds disappear in blue space; the mountains shine clear.
Consciousness reverts to contemplation; the moon-disk rests alone.

Halloween is almost here:

Rose Quartz

I wrote you a love letter

It was all dolled up

Pretty words to 
make you fall in love 

Some parts dangled
With the charm of 
golden bling

Then another part
you could smell 
the lather of my skin

But I didn't stop there

I conjured up cupid

Then wrote your name 
in blood and burnt it

Placed the ashes in a honey jar
with lavender and rose 

Whispered your name 69 times
under a blue red moon

Now
I watch you in my crystal ball
and wait for you to come to me

Rose Quartz (Re-Mastered-- 5-10-17)

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
