ARID PLACE WITH NO WAY OUT
(music and lyrics by The Ox Prison)

Arid place with no way out,
Desert all around.
Common sense has left this town,
Got buried in the ground.

Firetrucks go rolling by,
Sirens wailing loud.
Buildings burn and bullets fly,
Rivers all dry out.

Devil plundered golden rules,
Sold them off as junk.
Lies replaced the highest truth,
Sobriety got drunk.
Politicians drill the holes
Right into your brain;
Take your money and your soul
Until you go insane.

Firetrucks go rolling by,
Sirens wailing loud.
Buildings burn and bullets fly,
Rivers all dry out.

No escape from prison cell.
Fear will keep you down.
Nonexistent walls of hell
And debt in which you drown.
Wall Street people marching on.
Main Street standing still.
State is Deep but bold enough
To dwell upon The Hill.

Arid Place With No Way Out

As I'd mentioned in the other version of this track, I sent some stems over to @enigmacurry and he produced to amazing mixes. I really wanted to release both of them even though this one is ridiculously long, I found Ryan's creative iterations and evolutions of the source material to be super fascinating on here.

Fractal Traffic A (epic extended mix) - w/ Enigma Curry

Whispers of Creation

This tune began with just the upright bass (played on keyboard) & flute part (played with real flute), that were inspired by an old song that Mark liked a lot by an English Jazz trio called The Herbaliser.  Once he had it in progress, he asked me & Chris to see if we could contribute.

I added the trippy high pitch reverse guitar effect, and the bluesy lead guitar in the middle section (thus the title, Blue In The Middle). And Chris added some delightful atmospheric guitar and effects, as well as the Portishead influenced drum track. Mark was then inspired to add the background echo guitar sound in the middle section, and a bit of percussion and minor sound effects. 

Then Mark laid a really fine mix on it and I did the final mastering.  I'm glad Mark brought me in on this one, I really enjoy the ambience of it.

A Different Kind of Light

a little snippet from the other night. Somewhat contrasting the extreme noise of our last SC post : ) Still making use of this wonderful space and Grand Piano, no doubt we will get asked to leave at some stage, but until then happy days : )

Kirby/Ward  Organ Room Jam # 27

This is music I wrote more than ten years ago that I decided to remix as best I could. I was just learning how to lay down more than just a piano track and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I always had engineers that did that for me before there were online sites like Soundcloud and others.  I have 2" recording studios tapes from 40+ years ago that has original music that I want to get remixed and there is no one near where I live. If anyone can help me out, let me know. I live in PA.

This is one for my funeral.


lyrics:

Even when the rain comes down
Even with the skies torn open
I will still be here tomorrow

Even when things falling down
Or when every heart is broken
I will still remain tomorrow

I'll be there for your best side
Hurtling up the open wide
Nothing here was meant to mourn for

Though your life was blown away
And the right words you couldn't say
You did never pass unnoticed

Though the skies keep falling down
and reality lies underground
there is so much yet to learn for now
its the thunder, its the same
too much trouble, too much pain
at least all this is taken all away
