It is more difficult to change what's going around us than to make changes within ourselves. Let's start with the easier of the two?

Unfuck the World

Unfuck The World

TOF

Are you ardent?
In the MADNESS of war
Guarding his life with your DEATH
His SONG on your breath
Your LOVE for Him filling your heart
Are you still wild?
Can you take command?
O will you join the attack?
Fire true from horseback?
Let us ride all ye Redhats
& fill afternoon with our arrows
High & aloft
Fighting forever for Ekkor our God
Are you ardent?
Let us hear a tale of SONG from Hemlock now!

HEM

Centuries ago
On the shores of the world
Travelers tossed by a fault
Neath an ocean of salt
Washed up without bearings nor hope
And the Holy Forest throng
The uncanny birdsong
Called to them more than the reach
They abandoned the beach
Wandered into the trees
Where they joined in the chorus forever
Drifting in time
Castaways wed to the Wood
Speech & destinies all but forsaken
For music & rhyme
Artistic extremes and dreams leporine
Are you ardent?
Let us hear a tale of DEATH from Fury now!

FUR

I recall my first
Far from my worst
A man from the bigotted hordes
A Captain of sorts
At the Battle of Dáktylir
Fire had snapped my bow
So I rode him down
Drove him into a red oak
As he slashed at my throat
I crushed him back into the
Trunk with Ontario’s shoulder
Till his breastbone exploded
& a hundred branchfuls of snow
Shook down like confectioners’ sugar
His blood on my face
His dying eyes marking who’d furnished his fate
Are you ardent?
Let us hear a tale of MADNESS from Christoffel now!

TOF

Ah, quei giorni utopici giù in Toscana!
La poesia!
La musica senza finale!
Gallegiando sul maestrale!
E tanti amici demenziale!
Feci caprioli su Cheope in la piazza,
Tutt’applaudirono!
E por un solo momento,
Io sapevo cosa significa
Essere veramente singolare,
La bella del ballo, 
La Eterodossa!
Una sopra, n’una tra, billione
Cast’e doverosa ragazze scout in le gonne marrone.
Sei appassionata?
Let us hear a tale of LOVE from Hobby now!

HOB

O ye think me proud
But I know a tale
Round which your others will pale
All that SONG on your breath
All your MADNESS & DEATH
Very well, I will tell of a love so pure
Yet so insecure
Nothing could come of it but
Rivers of blood
A testament cut
In the breast of the mountain forever
A carving away
A breathlessly penitent hush
In the Song of the Forest forever
A pining away
A beautiful, terrible rush
To the depths of Creation forever
A falling away
A hopelessness manifest just
In the drape of an arm round a shoulder
& a heart that would break
But that it meant never seeing that face again...
Are ye ardent?

Are You Ardent?

Here are the Liner Notes for this CD.

In the depths of musical exploration, where genre boundaries dissolve and creativity reigns supreme, emerges Shekinah Fire – a dynamic collaboration between improvisational pianist Gary Courtland-Miles and guitarist Tim Elliot. With their debut album, "Beyond Belief," they invite listeners on an exhilarating journey through a fusion of classical, jazz, and orchestral improvisational music.

Over the course of the past year, Courtland-Miles and Elliot have forged a partnership grounded in mutual trust, an unspoken agreement in spirit, and a fearless willingness to 'fall off musical cliffs together.' The result? Over 40 unique and passionately crafted compositions that defy categorization and transcend conventional reference points.

At the heart of Shekinah Fire's music lies a palpable sense of wonder, freshness, and authenticity. Each track unfolds with an undeniable sense of spontaneity, guided by the duo's intuitive connection and shared musical vision. Whether navigating intricate melodies or delving into soul-stirring improvisations, Courtland-Miles and Elliot infuse every note with heart and soul.

Recorded at "The Living Room" in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, "Beyond Belief" captures the raw energy and excitement of Shekinah Fire's live performances. Using only one stereo microphone, the album preserves the intimate atmosphere of the room, inviting listeners to immerse themselves fully in the magic of the moment.

Through a blend of electric and acoustic pianos and guitars, Courtland-Miles and Elliot weave a sonic tapestry that is as captivating as it is transcendent. Each composition is a testament to the duo's boundless creativity and unwavering commitment to artistic exploration.

So, dear listener, heed the call to adventure. Let go of preconceived notions and surrender to the spellbinding allure of Shekinah Fire's "Beyond Belief." For in the realm of music that is 'beyond belief,' there are no limits – only endless possibilities waiting to be discovered.

Here's the 'abridged version' of Beyond Belief. Part One, so to speak.

As with most of our improvised music, it starts where Belief gives way to the Experience of Being in the moment and engaging in Deep Listening.

We trust you'll enJoy this latest of the 'musical conversations' Tim Elliot and I delight in whenever we have the chance.

Chillout dance vibe on this one, I just love all the synths, arpeggiators and loops that Logic has on offer! Thank you for taking your time to listen as always!

Our Hiding Place

Samples voices : « Memories » (Within Temptation).

MEMORIES.wav

In the enchanting scene of a moonlit night, a young girl immerses herself in the pages of a mystical book, weaving her vivid imagination into a whimsical tale that conjures up playful, skeletal apparitions.

Set to a lighthearted triple-time signature, the piano guides the melody, lending a delightful charm to the composition. Complementing this whimsical journey, the glockenspiel and synthesizer mallet harmoniously dance together, evoking the amusing and endearing image of comical skeletons.

Too Shy (kajagoogoo Cover) instrumental

Lyrics written whilst staring out at the pouring rain in the middle of November.

You could be my sun

This is a re-imagining of the track we first released two years ago, we were not happy with a lot of it, mix not right, vocal not really what Kev wanted in places and the whole thing was a bit muddy sounding, so I've changed a lot of the instrumentation, laid down better guitars and bass, plus with more modern plugins and 2 more years experience in production techniques this is now a totally different sounding beast.

Strange love, is rare, 
Embrace it if you dare,
Strange loves, can fade,
With a pocket full of tears,
Wept through all those years,
And a suitcase, full of dreams,
Empty now, or so  it seems,

I stopped the rain fall,  I stood to face all,
I rise again, I rise again

Strangers and neighbours, updated  status,
Taking their chance, Like your never gonna get again

I stopped the rain fall,  I stood to face all,
I rise again, I rise again

If  you ever find a way to feel, You can really work and make it real,
Should I ever make a move for you, you can love me if you feel it too

I stopped the rain fall,  I stood to face all,
I rise again, I rise again    X 2

So love breaks
you Hide away,
Rise up,  shout out   (Rising)
Shine on, move on     (Rising)
Break free, with me,   (Rising)
Stand and face up, leave it this way...

The Tempus Collective - "Rise" 2022 Remix

The Tempus Collective are : 
Kevin Fleming - writing, vocals & keys
Stewart Grieve (Solo Greebo) - writing, keys and production

The Tempus Collective are a duo hailing from Glasgow/Scotland, consisting of Kevin Fleming (vocals and keys) and Stewart Grieve (Keys, programming and production). The boys first met at school and have been playing together since 1983. They got their first 4-track a few years later and have continued to be bedroom music makers ever since, except for a 10 year recess to attend to family life.

Over the years there have been various musicians who have joined the ranks but it remains a two piece outfit for the moment with guest  musicians joining the band for selected projects as they are required.

Influenced by the likes of The Blue Nile, David Sylvian,Thomas Feiner and similar melancholic artists, the Tempus sound is usually a subdued affair that could never be considered mainstream.

"We spend a lot of time on production, we always have, it's about making the best of what you have at the time, both in ability  and equipment and as the years have gone on, both have improved vastly. We always felt that one good sounding song was worth 10 poor ones !  That's what we strive for, That's where we always channeled our energies and it still is to this day."

Using Soundcloud as their main platform to showcase their music the boys have accumulated a decent following and gained a lot of confidence from the warm reception they have received from fellow musicians and music lovers alike....
