Very proggy, very doggy ! Enjoying the new tracks.

lovely transition into the folkier style, then the driving bass returns, different tone... good one lads (Gordon)

6 Jan 2014 • EDIT: SEE THE VIDEO! http://youtu.be/dWOqTLyLsi4

Disclaimer: It's dark, it's gritty, it's depressive... but it's far too cool not to be shared here. The latest track by Supersonic Tartan Death Machine! It is like the seasonal affective disorder version of a Christmas classic... ;)

"Two Crows"
"To Kråker"

Black wing black wing
Walking on the snow
In all the places humans go
You feed on pain and great despair
Before returning to the night air

I was looking out the window, during a snowstorm, and saw two large crows across the street, fighting over something bloody... right then and there I thought it would be interesting to attempt to write a song called "Two Black Crows in the Snow"... then it became "Two Crows in the Snow"... then it became just "Two Crows".

The song is a discussion between two carrion birds, an almost philosophical discussion of the plight of their kind... and their existence in the grand scheme of things. "I rend therefore I am"...

Apps & Instruments I Used:
GarageBand for iOS, Animoog, Looptical, Highland Bagpipes, Irish Whistle, Vox

Special Guest playing bass on this track was once again Guy Mauseth of Rude Duke! Yes, The Duke of Thunder! Perhaps the hardest working bass player using iOS that I know :) https://soundcloud.com/duke21 I truly feel that his "rhythmic rumble" perfectly contrasts the pipes and the vocals, what more to say. =)

Guy used Jamup/ Bias, Fender Geddy Lee jazz bass, Animoog, and Audiobus.

No cream in my Coffee

Across The Ocean

So many people
Across the world
And yet sometimes
It feels so cold
We seek in each other
A comfort zone
And a place to call
Home
We try, we fail
To hang in there
To find connection
And not let go
We come together
From all around
We are your friends
You are not alone
Across the ocean
Around the world
Our friendship is strong
Across the ocean
Around the world
Our humanity ties us- together
Through time zones 
Continents and ocean
We meet to share our passion
For the love of music
The fun of creating 
And the joy of working together
So many talents
 creativity
We care for each other,
We have fun
Plenty of jokes go around and around
as we celebrate 
Our common goals

Lyrics by Jeff McCarthy

Some things take time
Some things don’t happen overnight
You realize that you 
Have come a long way

And then you look back
Down that long long road
And see things have changed
And you are quite 
Alone

What to do
You can’t turn back
For if you do

You never know
Just where the path will lead you
Where it will split
Where they diverge
Where they may merge

Alternating Routes

This cover song is our tribute to the mighty Genesis (Mike Rutherford, Phil Collins, Tony Banks)which never lost its drive and creativity, even in the 90s.

No Son Of Mine (Genesis cover)

Lyrics by Karen Beeri, music by Guy Beeri Mauseth

big cold bed is all that is left 
a place that used to comfort 
is now as cold as if 
Love Never dwelt here before 

 I look at myself 
don’t like the picture
it has lines of sorrow and anger     
hope that is gone 
I want to air that bed
change the sheets and move on
open my heart for life - to come

Cold Bed

A light that appears in the darkness
The dawning of understanding
The happiness of knowing 
A smile in the mind
Flickering and then gone
The memory of transcendence
A glimmering of the higher mind

Cù Faoil (The Guardian)

We are a team of super friends who create music using iOS devices, but we actually play real instruments, and so devices like iPads and iPhones are just tools in our workflows, ie. not the ONLY tool making the sounds. For us they compliment our fine sounds, and are actually the tools we use to build the structures upon which we hang our music.

After a great deal of discussion and admiring each other's music on SoundCloud, we decided to get together and do something special.

More info to follow, as time goes on, but we are basically
Jeff McCarthy of Supersonic Tartan Death Machine (@supersonictartandeathmachine) ...bagpipes, irish whistles, vocals

Guy Beeri Mauseth of Rude Duke (@duke21) ...bass, synths/mellotron and our man for mastering, tweaking and making everything sound great! He does most of his mixing and mastering work in Auria by Wave Machine Labs. http://auriaapp.com/Products/auria

Martin Neuhold (Germany) @martinneuhold ...synths, guitars, vocals, and a master of creating the most amazing and melodious soundscapes.

We have solo recording projects, we have other group recording projects, and this is our Celtic Progressive Rock recording project. We hope you enjoy our music, there will be more to come!
