Baba

Welcome and well met! The chances that you will be granted eternal life, after listening to this creation, are pretty good!

This is my first ever "useable" eurorack modular patch i ever created and passed my hearing test (lol) for reaching its final state of going public - therefore being uploaded onto the cloud. 

I am down to synths, hell yes i do! I recently found, that there are some organic limitations in working only in a DAW with virtual instruments. I herded quite some synths and will definately use them in future tracks, but working analogue is quite different.

There is no preset to load, no ultimate variations or starting points, depending on the architecture and the signal flow, you have to fiddle and turn some knobs and sliders and really understand the basics and how all of these manipulations come together to create something audible.

Some stuff is pre-patched internally, especialy with semi-modular stuff, and for instance using something like the Behringer Crave or the Arturia Minibrute 2, this stuff can be manipulated and tweaked thanks to a additional patchbay with many ins and outs to plug some cables for some FUN.

I got this eurorack-case quite some time ago and it was just a matter of time that i will order my first module, and another one and yeah that other fancy one too, and gladly i did not turn mad (yet), because there are millions of possibilities and options to create your own really "unique" instrument with so much stuff being able to do with it, that someone really should boggle about it  more than twice, before loading tons of stuff into the shopping basket and put some heat on the credit card... hahaha.

After a nice weekend at the "parentsinlawplace" i ended up after quite some midi-to cv (control voltage) trial and error runs and decided i will just go for some really mindless fun before i hit bed.
What happened then was this 4 minute thing with me patching some stuff into the osiris wavetable oscillator module by modbap and what you hear in this drone-scape-ish osiris travel into the afterlife (and maybe back again?). It is the result of using 2 sliders and 5 knobs and getting a feel of actually going with the "flow" while discovering the sonic beauty of it.

This is the very first modular track i uploaded ever, just slightly tweaked in the DAW (added intro/outro filtersweep and delay and a general chorus to add some stereo mojo).

This is something completely different what most of you might expect here and there will be more. This is a lifetime progress and process, and I'd be happy to have you on this journey.

Truly your sonic servant,

Cmd. SF


PS: Some technical background -  for the freaks and interested people.
I did use two modulation sources which were provided by the self built DIY Dysphonia Synth - one LFO and a S&H (Sample and Hold), which were modulating the Osiris Wavetable. When you take a look onto a Wavetable, there is a X and a Y Axis. On the Osiris you can patch these with some external control-voltage (CV), so i tweaked and modulated a constant change with both the x and the y axis, as well changing the actual wavetable-position on the module itself. Additionally i changed the timbre knob to add some additional change in the tonality and character.

https://youtu.be/dbK4fOKc-rM

I am so happy that burn.it.smith reach out and asked if I wanted to get creative with his original song, “Bubbly Jock,” and invite whoever I wanted to join in. burn.it.smith’s hip hop jazz fusion track instantly inspired and the band was obvious. All the pieces came together real nice for this “old school” jazz hip hop SoundCloud extravaganza. I hope you all enjoy!!!

And big thanks to Russ for the zaney art. Look closely and you will see lots of humorous details.

Lyrics:

burn.it.smith:
Babbling away like a bubbly jock 
Poking the bogey, talking tommyrot 
All my eyes and Betty Martin
 It just never stops
I said Be-Bop-A-Lula 
You know what?
 I had enough

the Couch King:
Beware oh my
Felleeow frumious blimpyish fluemes I
Decry oh why thy
Manxome mimsyish foes who gimble through try
To snicker snack with a pack of galumphying slacks
Who lack burbling whiffling eyes of flame
Don’t they know they should go gyring back with their
Sacks to rath about where they came
With their vorpal swords hanging towards the floors
We restore our honor from the Uffish wars
As we rath outgrabe with displayed furmious frayed jaw displayed let’s go Jabberjockay

burn.it.smith:
It’s a blathering
Gathering
Put your hat in
And start jabbering
Clamouring!
What’s happening
 Lucille?

Janine Levinson:
 I got the Tommyrot on top 
The rot because the Jabbberwock
 Is walking on my head
 I got the Alice Hat on 
And now he’s walking on the hat instead
I said Be-Bop-A-Lula 
You know what? 
I had enough

burn.it.smith: 
Blathering away like a bubbly jock 
Shootin’ the mouth off, talking tommy rot 
Poking the bogey, I’m at a loss 
All my eyes and Betty Martin 
The tongue never stops

Cover art by Jooinn.

This is a totally stolen idea gleaned from another one of those phone conversations with my brother Gary. We talk to each other every few days and normally end up sounding like two old men sitting on a park bench putting the World to rights.

I’m sure a lot of what we say has been said many times before (what hasn’t?) but one day, out of the blue, Gal says to me “ Sometimes I find things too difficult to deal with. I would love the opportunity to step off the world for just one second and clear my head a bit...” At the time I just accepted it as the type of thing we say to each other but two days after the phone call the idea of stepping off the world to escape the pressures of daily life returned when I was playing my guitar. The words “I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off” fitted with what I was playing and the start of a new opus was born.

Once a song seems complete, I generally record a quick demo and send it off to Gal to see if it has any potential. If he thinks it has, between us we try to put a better demo together to send to Hans.  If he thinks it’s any good, he’ll work on an arrangement and more often than not sends back something back that sounds way better than what we’d imagined.  

We might chip in a few ideas here and there (as Gal did with a totally new drum arrangement on this) but Hans is definitely the one that gives it most of it’s final shape and sound.  I love every step of the songwriting process.  It provides a kind of therapy and the creative process gives every day purpose and interest.  You could say it’s my way of stepping off the world for a short moment.
(Terry Reeves)

I’m stepping off the world
To give myself a chance
For a moment of reflection
Avoid the need to dance 
One thousand miles per hour
Never firmly on the ground 
Gravity with no connection 
Spinning fast head going round 

Stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
Stepping off the world 

No New Year's Revolution 
Rotating much too fast 
Survival of the fittest
Fittest days are in the past
Step off every Monday
Not back until Tuesday week
One moment makes a difference
Like a lifetime so to speak

Stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
Stepping off the world

Don’t want to give a reason
Good feelings are oppressed 
Try different constellation 
Laying down has more interest
Stepping off a single second 
With no single past regret
Not a care for single thinking 
Avoid joining one single thread

Stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off the world
Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world...

STEPPING OFF THE WORLD - CRIPPLE CLUB & HANS ALBERS

she took a potion
said it was guaranteed to put her heart in motion
make her love like a better person
this is a horror story of a dancer
that fell onstage and the spotlight left her
she's in an apartment
on the seventh floor
reading comic books
from the boy next door
she smokes cigarettes on the balcony
spitting smoke upwards to the moon
the streetlights block out the stars
she took a pill
said it would keep her from getting very ill
but her stomach churns and her heart just burns
her fire is an ember, hot burning coals
she'd walk the high wire for you
she'd walk the high wire for you
but she just knows
she'll only grow old
she'll only grow old
she'll only grow old
she'll only grow old
she'll only grow old
and her feet are so cold
be sweet or be bittersweet
be sweet or be bittersweet 
just don't be bitter
just don't be bitter

Green Lassie Blues 2022

This is a horror story of a dancer

SHE BLOWS HER OWN WIND
SHE CARVES HER OWN FATE
SHE’S A SELF-MADE CRAFTSWOMAN OF HER LIFE

SHE FLIES HER OWN WINGS
AND FEEDS HER OWN PLATE
SOMETIMES HER WORDS CUT LIKE A KNIFE 

SHE HAS BEEN AROUND
AND YET REMAINS BOUND
ANYWHERE NEW CAN BE FOUND

NEW YORK NEW YORK
KRISTINA WHY NOT
THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER YOU ROCK

A JUMP ON THE SIDE
A WALK IN THE WILD
WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL BE YOUR NEXT RIDE
IT’S ALL WIDE OPEN

SHE FLOWS WITH THE WIND
AND SWIMS IN THE COLD
SHE KNOWS HOW TO TAKE BY THE HAND

AND ALL THAT SHE GIVES
IS ALL THAT SHE’S GOT
A HEART OF GOLD AND OPEN ARMS
IT’S ALL WIDE OPEN

HER BODY’S GOT SOUL A YOGI I’M TOLD
THIS WAY SHE MIGHT NEVER GROW OLD

IT TAKES QUITE A STAR TO BE WHAT TOU ARE
FROM NICE TO LOU REED AT THE BAR
IT’S ALL WIDE OPEN
I MEAN WIDE WIDE OPEN


HERE SHE COMES THERE SHE GOES
WHAT WILL BE THE NEXT MOVE NOBODY KNOWS

The Wizard Of Oz - We're Off To See The Wizard - Three Variations

Introduction in English:

Sometimes I dream that I meet my great musical idols. When I was intensively occupied for a while with one of my passions, the French chanson, it happened that in one of my dreams Jacques Brel sat opposite me in my small Berlin living room and gave me the assignment to write, in my way and with my possibilities, something like a sequel to his great chanson "Ne me quitte pas".  Whereas here he had described the fear of losing a loved one, now I was to describe in my song what it was like to have lost this loved one forever. 
And on the basis of this nocturnal dream collaboration, my French chanson "Je t’ai perdu" was born. 
The cover is again by the Polish artist Renata Golab.

Lyrics in English:

I have lost you

I have lost you 
lost forever

Just wanted to hold you
Keep you warm and safe

Just wanted to protect you
Protect you from abysses

Protect you from demons
Protect you from the falling

Yes I know 
You will never understand

I know
You'll see it differently

You feel dominated
Dominated by me
Controlled by me
Imprisoned by me

You feel enslaved 
For all eternity

I have lost you
Lost forever

Just wanted to love you  
Love you unconditionally, unconditionally

Strengthen you for life
Strengthen you for becoming yourself

To raise you gently 
Lift you up against the Hades

Over, gone
I have not reached you

Nothing that remains
The oath of revelation

Reap your hatred 
Reproach and hatred
Your scorn and mockery
Scorn and derision

I have lost you
For all eternity

Französischer Originaltext:

Je t'ai perdu,

Je t'ai perdu,
Perdu pour toujours

Je voulais juste te tenir
Garder au chaud en toute sécurité

Je voulais juste te protéger
Protéger des abîmes

Te préserver des demons
Préserver de la chute, de la chute

Oui, Je sais
Tu ne comprendras jamais

Je suis conscient
Tu verras les choses autrement

Tu te sens dominé
Dominé par moi
Supprimé par moi
Enfermé par moi

Tu te sens asservi
Pour l'éternité

Je t'ai perdu,

Je t'ai perdu,
Perdu pour toujours
Je voulais juste t’aimer
T’aimer sans condition

Te renforcer pour la vie 
Renforcer pour devenir soi 
Te redresser doucement
Te dresser contre l'Hadès

Fini, passé
Je ne t’ai pas attaint
Rien qui ne reste
La déclaration de reddition

Je récolte ta haine
Tes reproches et ta haine
Ta moquerie et tes railleries
Ta malice et ta derision

Je t’ai perdu 
Pour l'éternité

Je t'ai perdu

Je t'ai perdu (I have lost you)

Finally got my act together with another Tarot track - The Hermit. I actually wrote the music about a month ago, but only added the vocal the other day. It's a 'game of two halves', by the way :)

There is a story attached to this too. I flipped this one around, so the Hermit is actually a woman, who, lamenting a lost love, shuts herself into a tower to live a sad life alone. 

Free download if you wish :)
All the Tarot tracks will be free to download once the album is finished.

Lyrics:
If I got a dime
Every time
I was selfish
Then I would be a rich girl

If I got a dime
Every time
I was unfair
Then I would be a rich girl

I´m sorry 4x

If I got a dime
Every time
I was impatient
Then I would be a rich girl

If I got a dime 
Every time
I was bossy
Then I would be a rich girl

I´m sorry 4x
 
So if I hurt you
Believe me, it´s true
I wasn´t wise enough then
At least, now I know better.

If I Got A Dime

Give Love

This simple lo-fi rock track has been dormant on my hard drive for a long time. Now I've revived it. While searching for rock a vocal for it, I came across the website looperman.com and discovered the rock voice of 2nick8. His acapella singing on 'Superstar' went very well with my song. It's only Rock and Roll...

Lyrics

Hey Dave/Dan - Do wanna make some music  
Making music can be so much fun
Just hit a chord and away we go

Pound out a beat and it gets a little better  
Add some bass and we start a little groove
Add a second chord and the song begins to move
 
Then play a note for the melody  
You may even want it to be in key  
Or maybe take a chance and do something a little different  
 
Chorus
 
Bridge
Can you feel the music?
Can you feel the music?
Can you feel the music?
In your soul
 
Oh did I hit that note quite right  
Lets try and make it a little more bright  
Or maybe make it a little more free

Making Music (Cooper/Lockhart Collaboration)

Saludos to my longtime collaborator Negritage of Argentina https://soundcloud.com/negritage, he is a magnificent laid back Dub master .. I met Negritage on SoundCloud 10 years ago, because of our musical compatibility , we have been continuously doing  "DUB" collaborations "on and off, " .. Maybe a dozen or more DUB songs between us..  ... 
Now I have taken on the new role of "remixing"  the dub riddims  to make them  suitable to add "my style" type instrumentation,  effects , tempo ,  vocal overdubs  etc on his foundation  riddims  ,that change up has led to numerous SC hits  .. "Wilysan" is the band leader of the band called Negritage , he  is the  person I communicate with   ... Dios te bendiga

Another Baby Bite The Dust By Jam York &  Negritage --Original post production y Remix by Jam York

Song about love as a shelter against inclemency of life (translated lyrics below).

By means of some weather sounds, I oppose precise dark parts to more colored ones, with serious work till 3:25 when I had fun jamming, so you can skip to 4:20 & enjoy great outro !!

Clarinet was borrowed from my sister for summer practice. Reed & keywork managing is difficult for a beginner, & home cohabitance was set on serious risk, but with painful effort I got something presentable, or so I hope, as not willing to repeat soon...

Pic: edited eyefish photo taken by my other sister during one of my hard summer rehearsals.
