RISE AND FALL

Please use headphones for much better listening experience!
Btw, that´s me in that photo.
I was a rather weird kid, listened to Spike Jones, Benny Goodman, fifties rock´n´ roll and my father´s jazz record collection (O.  Peterson, Bird, C. Brown, W. Montgomery etc.)
 Later I discovered Psychedelia, New wave/Punk, Japanese noise (especially C.C.C.C.), 60-70s rock classics, Debussy&Messiaen, Dub reggae, Prog (Gabriel era Genesis, Van der Graaf Generator....), vintage Beninese stuff (Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Cotonou, Gnonnas Pedro  and so on), UK Freakbeat, out-there Jazz, Bowie/Floyd bootlegs, J. Zorn, early 90s Indie, F. Zappa, antique French Pop (Dutronc, Laforet...), U. Srinivas plus labels like Delerium Records, Shimmy Disc, Japan Overseas (Osaka), RecRec music and God knows what.
Additionally, I should mention that my all time favorite Finnish album is Sperm "Shh! Heinäsirkat". Check it out!
Various literary and "cinematic" influences have molded my music.  The more predictable stuff like Surrealism, Dada, Situationism, Beats (mainly W. Burroughs) of course, but I have also been influenced by the old-school Finnish Radio Drama, Beninese "traditions", the ramblings/books by P .Levenda, Megalithic Structures&Art, the humor of H.S. Thompson, 70s-80s Eastern European Animation, Yakuza films and by the cult movies re-released by Blue Underground, Something Weird Videos, Mondo Macabro, Arrow Films and so forth. Pretty far-out stuff that could destroy your mind permanently?
 And nope, my photo is not from the 50s or from the 60´s (It was taken around 358 BC, hahaha).
Enjoy this more or less bizarre music.
Happy trails to you!

Best possible morning to all of you here in the community. Here’s a nice ‘ray of hope’ message for you, as we breathe in the rich and complex flabbergast of our current situation. This is one of those timely discoveries that might just help nurture the soul a little, as we buckle in for an unimaginable (and oftentimes unbelievable) timeline:

Brian McLaren (former Pastor) - Something is trying to be born 
(as transcribed from his Tic Tok video)

Something is trying to be born.
And something is dying.
Here’s what’s dying:
A world of white supremacy is dying.
A world of dominating angry greedy men without empathy is dying.
A world without concern for planet earth itself, that world is dying.
A world of violence and power, of religious supremacy; 
a world that measures value by wealth not health;
that kind of world is dying.
A world that works on domination and exclusion, 
not collaboration and connection;
that kind of world is dying.
A world of me first not we first,
that kind of world is dying.
And like a dying cornered animal, 
that dying world bears its teeth and its claws;
and it will destroy as much as it can before it’s done.

If you only look at what is dying, you’ll feel despair.
But something else is trying to be born… 
don’t forget about it.
It’s not as loud and angry as what is dying… 
but it’s far more important.
What is being born is beautiful, 
and you know because you feel it.
It’s being born in you.
The pain of these moments, 
they might feel like death pains…
But they’re really labor pains.
The darkness, as my friend Valerie Kaur says, 
Is simultaneously the darkness of the tomb for what is dying,
And it’s the darkness of the womb for what is trying to be born.

Be strong and have good courage, my friends. We are in this together.
Something is dying.
But something is trying to be born.

Justin again. I hope this gem gave you a little peace of mind. It was definitely the message I needed when Cheer ran across it last week (there is always plenty of good, intelligent and hopeful stuff to be found out there). 

I hope you also enjoyed my latest sonic creation, ‘And The Banned Played On’. :)

DL on SC :)

And The Banned Played On

Crimble Crumble

travel diary 4 part

SUN IS LOW
-------------
Wind cries lonely 
across the snow
Sky is frozen,
sun is low
Ice cold dust dry as sand,
whip the ground upon this land

Never day, never night
All that I see... turn to white

Freezing,
time move slow,
back to fence.
I'll go where the white doves go

Winter,
please hide my way.
Cross the plain,
the hills and far away


Wolves that gathered,
have watched each move
Teeth are showing,
tails held low.
Hungry eyes with patience view,
In this domain their reign is true

Infinite march, likely in vain
Tracks cross the plain... turns to a chain

Freezing,
time move slow,
back to fence.
I'll go where the white doves go
where they go
in the night
they take flight
soaring to sky
so high and free
just like me
Always heading for their home
just like me

Sun is low

Here’s another old favorite song of mine, written by Baker Knight in the 50’s and recorded by many folks before and after Elvis’ most famous version, released in 1970. Once again, this is one of my stripped down recordings taken from an i-phone voice memo and transplanted to GarageBand for this final mix I threw together in homage to The King. Interestingly, Baker apparently originally wrote this as a gospel song, about the true King, but I think by now we all just read it as a simple and emotive love song, one of many done so masterfully by Elvis. I hope some folks will enjoy this quick take on it.
🥳This goes out as a special happy birthday wish to my dear friend and partner in all things musical, Nat Daniels. Thanks for all your support and inspiration.🤠

The Wonder of You

The Wonder of You (Elvis cover)

Paulo Chagas lives in Portugal and I in the USA.
We agreed to make this album by sharing music files over the internet.

While we worked on this album, 
making music for a peaceful world was on our mind.

All over the world, 
tensions, conflicts, suppressions and violence
of one group over another have arisen.

As musical artists, we believe that our artistic process 
demonstrates what we wish for the world,
paraphrasing Ghandi’s 
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world”:

Create agreements and honor them

Listen carefully, respond with care

Openly point out problems, openly work to fix them

Create music that acknowledges conflict but also overcomes it

Support the spirit of engaged creativity

Support joyful life


Wilhelm Matthies and Paulo Chagas, April 2025

Honoring agreements

more melancholic piano ballads ... can't do a Cry tune like Roy O..but I give it a go with this tune of mine from a ways back


It’s Ok If You Cry

I heard a sad song                                                          
Floating in the sky from over there                             
The notes they echo in my mind                                 
Up on the rooftop  
In that cold December air   
I saw you play that tune, the hurtin’ kind                                         
And you thought no one was listening                      There’s no one around to hear                                    Feeling so alone, yet you still try                                 Standing tall, in the autumn of your life                     Singing how it’s ok if you cry                                                  

You sing the story
How you let it slip away
The years and all the ghosts you left behind
Fingers numb not bending well
Breath fogging when you sing
The words how they sear into my mind

So I stumble to the music
And fall down into the snow
Feeling so alone, lost in my lie
Trying to stand up, in the autumn of my life
Singing how it’s ok if you cry

It’s ok if you cry
Do it anytime
Don’t matter the season of your years
I need a little space tonight
I’m gonna climb up there with you
Where it’s safe to breathe and shed our tears

I grabbed a ladder 
And I climbed up for the view
Looked around to find you and your song
I was met by other voices,
Souls, whispers in the night
On their own rooftops, trying to sing along

They think there’s no one there to listen
There’s no one around to hear
Feeling so alone, but still, they try
Standing tall, in the autumn of this life
It’s ok if you cry

It’s ok if you cry
Do it anytime
Don’t matter the season of your years
I need a little space tonight
I’m gonna climb up there with you
Where it’s safe to breathe and shed some tears
