Fine Whine (babyeuro Re-Work)

Original Song
by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett

Lyrics

I'm a man of peace,
At war with myself.
I tamed the beast,
On my knees I knelt.

There's some distraction,
There's something wrong.
I don't need the attention,
To carry on.

The streets are burning,
The World's gone mad.
My heart's still yearnin',
For what we once had.

We cry in frustration,
Scream if you need.
Black smoke I'm chokin',
I need to breath.

If we could make a difference,
Would anybody care.
Some people seem to lose their way,
But they're neither here or there.

We've forgotten who we are now,
We run like rabid dogs.
We struggle in misfortune,
And we're missing what we lost.

We're ordinary people,
Living ordinary lives.
What the hell brought us to this?
We've fallen for the same old lies.

Please someone tell me,
If I'm only dreaming?
Wake me from the nightmare,
That we're in.

If peace and love and harmony,
Is something worth fighting for.
Why are we on the verge,
Of another civil war?

Can anyone make some sense of this?
Please help us if you can.
Like millions I am lost,
And I don't understand.

I'm a man of peace,
At war with myself.
But it's still not as bad,
As what we're doing to ourselves.

At War With Myself

Live set with mostly unfinished/work in progress tracks and fragments. Own productions only. Was great to try out a few things. Turned out with quite a nice flow! Feedback appreciated!

Live @ Kiki Sol, 10/05/24 (Live Set)

My latest song,written today! Words and Music plus Vocal by me!

DONT BREAK MY WINGS

Inspired by music from noir films and Twin Peaks(ish) things.  I imagine this piece playing as, you guessed it, the film credits are rolling, after all is concluded.

Roll Credits

Messing about with some things that have been in my head.  The opening uses a jazz progression that I have been fiddling with for a while, with the bass part done on my Fender Jazz.  The middle section is meant to be contrasting and somewhat chaotic.

A ghost story.

Taking my own advice, sharing unfinished work. This is going to be a ghost story of some kind.

It's fairly rough: a single take of each track, entirely unedited parts, mostly unmixed.

Two decisions unlocked the composition for me as I was working:

1) Replacing the bass guitar with double bass. My hands aren’t fully up to it (you can hear them getting tired 😅) but it brought a huge amount of physicality that wasn’t there before.

2) Sitting with one of the changes for a while, eventually finding a line that hung perfectly inside the harmony. Rhodes first, but then doubled it (many times…) with the mellowest trumpet playing I could muster.

Credits:
Composed, recorded, and engineered by Island Wastrel
Acoustic guitar, double bass, trumpet, piano, Rhodes, sampled drum kit - Island Wastrel

MPC 500 & TR8-S Minimal Dub House Rave Jam 125 BPM

tension is the first track I've worked on since releasing Waiting for Spring.  It is built around a bass sequence played from my Pro-1 synth.  It is layered with rhythmic ideas that are happening in contrasting time signatures, which adds to the tension, musically, and creates a feeling of anticipation and instability.  Other synths used were:  Behringer Crave, Korg Monologue, Roland S-1 and Maschine Micro (drums).  This may or may not be a finished version.
