Floating Fish Studios held Synth Jam 2015 - Snow at FFS II on 02/21/15. The ensemble gathered included Dave Chandler (aka Thee Sub One Genius), M Scott McConnell (aka MC2P4), and Matt Norcross (aka Ttam Troll).

The snow storm could not deter the three core members of Imbued Vagary from creating icy electronic music.  The six sonic explorations ranged from ambient soundscapes to Noise.

This live improv is more akin to ambient soundscapes and is titled, Storm Clouds.

Imbued Vagary - Storm Clouds (Live at FFS II 02/21/15)

No polish, no filters — just fire. Chasing the Ember is a raw rock anthem built on distortion, grit, and sweat. Guitars blaze, drums pound, and the fire won’t fade. This one’s for the stage, the pit, and the chaos. 🔥🎸⚡

Chasing the Ember

The paranoia

Lyrics:
[Verse 1 – rap/spoken]
I turn the ringer down, stitch up the noise
Seven days on low, no chase, no ploys
Fold up the words that kept pulling me through
I’m breathing on my own, not orbiting you

[Pre-Chorus – clean]
No rush, no blame, I’m keeping ground
Soft power rising without a sound

[Chorus – big, clean + light gang shouts]
Week of silence — I’m not your waiting room
If you’re certain, you will know what to do
I won’t orbit what you choose
Peace over circles I can’t use

[Verse 2 – rap/spoken]
I named the fear and watched it fade
It taught my pulse to run, my mouth to race
Now every step is mine to take
Less of the static, more of the space

[Pre-Chorus – clean]
No proof to chase, no tug-of-war
If it’s meant, it won’t need force

[Chorus – big]
Week of silence — I’m not your waiting room
If you’re certain, you will know what to do
I won’t orbit what you choose
Peace over circles I can’t use

[Bridge – halftime breakdown, add short scream ad-libs]
I’m not running — I release
NOT A WAITING ROOM
Turning pressure into peace
LET ME BREATHE

[Final Chorus – biggest]
Week of silence — sky breaks through
If you get clear, I’ll hear from you
Either way, I’ll hold my truth
I won’t orbit what you choose

Sadly, this post marks the end of Floating Fish Studios Holy Grail Week.  I hope you've enjoyed the past week of "classic" audio and video from the FFS Vaults.  Some of the material was funny, some serious, some controversial, and some downright hilarious but I hope you found it all to be entertaining.  While raiding the vaults, I came across more rare material so be on the lookout for a future Holy Grail Week.  Until then...

I'm pleased to share with you Ode to 1 Gold St.  1 Gold St or as it was otherwise known, Der Palast des Goldes, was the house I moved into with MC2P4 and LTJTHC when I first came to the Philadelphia area in Fall 1989.  After the long and turbulent Vizator Summer, I was glad to be able to get back to some fashion of normal life.  

The three of us wasted no time in setting up a studio in the house and the rest, as they say, is history.  When not at school or working (which wasn't very often), I was busy learning how to use all of the equipment we assembled in the studio and spent hours composing music.  Our set up was pretty small but, looking back, that turned out to be an advantage.

As evidenced in this song, taken from the final day of recording at 1 Gold St in the Summer of 1990, MC2P4 and I pulled out every bit of sonic might from the gear we had.  This majestically thematic improvisational jam was our final farewell to 1 Gold St.  Shortly after, we were off to Pottstown PA and the creation of Floating Fish Studios.
