Your compositions are very complex, as prog rock is!

The thickness of the sound from the beginning is amazing. I was instantly swept away by the wave of emotion, and after that I just enjoyed surfing through your music.

Very nice collab.  Wonderful changes throughout.  Bravo to all!

Great composition and performance! Beautiful collaboration, wow!

Awesome arrangement on this. I actually like everything about this.

A very beautiful and inspiring musical journey into different countries of emotions!

Some great songs from some Fantastic Artist's/Bands and a few of my own.

AB Playlist 046 Part 1

When Tom made me hear this music, I immediately thought of singing a text I had written a while ago for a previous song. It felt like the obvious encounter of these words with their music. It is a huge pleasure and honor to be part of this project with two fantastic members of the SC community.

Vois la grisaille
Qui voile la ville
Moi je fais bye bye
En remontant par l'écoutille

Je mets les voiles
Je mets les voiles
Mets les voiles
Vers mes désirs qui se dévoilent

Vois-tu la faille
Au-dessus du vide
Assez de regarder la paille
Lassé de moi terre-à-terre aride

Je mets les voiles
Je mets les voiles
Mets les voiles
Peut-être à la prochaine escale

Cherche un amer
Un bras de mer
Capte un signal
Des étoiles, des étoiles

Je mets les voiles
Mets les voiles
Mets les voiles
Vers mes désirs qui se dévoilent

The picture shows a section of „The Crystal Seer“(c. 1530) a painting by Titian (c. 1490 - 1572).

One Glance

in
From a large, old quartz crystal
Grown up in a cavity in the depths
Under a lot of pressure, 
Temperature and mineral supply,
32D3, trigonal and trapezoidal,
Perfectly cut spherical 
Two hands it takes to hold the orb

1
Think of a great dark hall
And in front of a candle this ball
And you look, watch and see
But you cannot find 
A fixed point

The glimpse wanders 
From the surface into the depths
Inside the light is refracting in its rays
And splits further along 
Structural network faults

ref
Peering into the crystal ball 
Glaring into the crystal ball
Risking a look into the crystal ball
And can`t see nothing at all
Nothing at all

So many things that obscure and disguise 
Imagining can be such great surprise

2
Unforeseen the past stands tall
And the line gets small 
Between „i don’t recall“ and
„I can’t remember at all“

But what’s wrong with the future?
Every picture dissolves into fumes
Or is it because it seems to be, 
That the quartz is rather smoky than rosy ?

ref + out
Staring into the crystal ball 
Gazing into the crystal ball
Loose oneself deep in the crystal ball
And can`t see nothing at all
Nothing at all ?

So many things that obscure and disguise 
Imagining can be such great surprise

And for a blink, just a very short while
Really, just the twinkle of an eye, 
Thought that i had looked into your eyes,
Meant that i had seen you somewhere smile

Lyrics:
I live for the fireworks of the night
Supersonic
Stereophonic
I'm taking all my meals in flight
I love the music
I love the nightlife
Gin & Tonic
It's euphonic
That's ironic
It's emotion that I ghostwrite

Chorus
I've got first world problems
And Second Life Blues
Let the algorithm choose
I've got first world problems
I've got Second Life Blues
Let the algorithm choose
With the algorithm
You know you can't lose
Let the algorithm choose

This is a song that Computart came up with and passed on to me. It was just some ambient synth and a very simple beat when I got a hold of it, but it did have a really cool feel. I took it, and added five string fretless bass, electric guitar, piano, and organ. I then asked Tez (Llanpsych) to work his mix magic on it, which he did very expertly, as always. We hope you like it.

Lyrics:-
What matters to you
Doesn't matter to me
What matters to me
Doesn't matter to you

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

From the girl in her room
To the man on the street
From the man in the moon
To Police on the beat

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

From the Farmers who toil
To the City bank boys
From the kettles that boil
To the kids with their toys

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

From the media pundits
To the teachers at school
From alternative trumpets
To the stubborn old mule

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

Agree To Disagree

This is the second in the Departure series of experimental soundscapes that are inspired by a set of 13 poems (or 'cantos') written by Jo Richter a.k.a. Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches @sonic-structures. I was honored thatJo invited me to collaborate with him on this project, it has really helped to push me in some new creative directions.

This second track in the series, features field recordings from Zuunzug. He offers them up for download on this page: @zuunzug-field-recording under the Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0) ... The ones I used are Save Beograd, Novi Sad, and Waves Over Seashells.  I think they add a lot of great atmospheric texture!

The poetry is copyright Jo Richter. I have only extracted a small sample of the original poem, so please read the full text below if you are interested in the original context for the spoken word, also read by Jo Richter.

And you can follow along with this project here. This playlist so far includes one other song (2 different versions) from me and Stonerjazz, based on Canto VI, but we intend to add more in the coming months:

Here is the full text of Departure - Canto II, the inspiration for this track:
(Copyright Jo Richter)

To allow for rest, you need to make sure
that you do not fall asleep right in
harm‘s way. You need to put your trust
in crude projections of the path and thrust
of entities and processes that do not cease
activity when your awareness takes its leave.
There are no guardian spirits to protect
you when consciousness bows out.

When – as a growing child who learns to use
his wits to regulate the forces that en-
compass him – he had to learn to abdicate
his mental skills, his reason and his
social prowess, just to give in to sleep,
he felt the force of dread that did
not hesitate to bring forth monsters from
the cracks that rooms and psyches offer.

Out foraging for all the goods that people,
parks and pastures proffer, he‘d often felt
assailed by sudden drowsiness that swept him
from the inside out into the open street
and very nearly drowned him in the gutter.
The force that urged him cannily to sidestep
reason, did not protect him from approaching cars,
as though it were an arbitrary arbiter of life.

It had been then, in dire need of shelter,
that he had stepped into the cool, comforting
splendour of the spire that reached into
what lays beyond. To master words, he
had been warned, will never do,
if you aspire to tame the threat of
letting go. I‘m here, he‘d said, to enter
a frame of mind, a larger self, a sphere of

actuality that never passes out, even in the
deepest state of slumber, trance or trauma,
even when the archetypes invade
my daily reasoning with brutal presence, as
they do. To master words, his muse replied
with her bemused DaVinci-grin, is quite
amusing, once you find the time to ponder
and to muse about the situation you are in.

Lyrics: See the stars shining bright all the way through the night as we go out into space

Looking at our road from here drove up and down through the years always held a steady course

Roads we rode both far and long been on On and On Through the footprints of our days

On and on the miles we go and how far we never know ahh they felt so right

Here we come back from space all to join the human race As We join all together now

We'll stay together through the years just keep breaking all the fears yeah honey got it made

Letra  / Translated lyrics (inspired by Aldous Huxley's novel 'Island')

EL PÁJARO MINAH  /  THE MINAH BIRD

Me desperté  /  I woke up
de un sueño equivocado,  /  from a wrong dream,
tumbado entre palmeras,  /  lying among palm trees,
no estoy perdido ni encontrado.  /  I’m neither lost nor found.

Me siento bien,  /  I feel alright,
el sol me ha iluminado,  /  the sun has illuminated me,
la vida se estremece  /  life is shaking
y el egoísmo se ha agotado.  /  and selfishness is exhausted.

Pero cómo no lo pude ver?  /  But how couldn’t I see it?
No tenemos que ir ni que volver.  /  We don’t either have to go or come back.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que vivimos muy cerca del Edén.  /  that we live very near of Eden.

Es esto real?  /  Is this real?
Atrás quedan las ruinas de la ciudad.  /  Behind are left the ruins of the city.
No pierdas tu tiempo,  /  Don’t waste your time,
no sufras más.  /  don’t suffer anymore.

Cuando el ave abra sus alas  /  When the bird opens its wings
y el día se convierta en oscuridad,  /  and the day becomes darkness,
escucha su cantar,  /  listen to its singing,
deja de pensar y vive.  /  stop thinking and live.

Pero cómo no lo pude ver?  /  But how couldn’t I see it?
No tenemos que ir ni que volver.  /  We don’t either have to go or come back.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que vivimos muy cerca del Edén.  /  that we live very near of Eden.

El ritual del Mosha,  /  The ritual of Mosha,
luz del amor al alba,  /  light of love at dawn,
la plenitud del alma,  /  the fullness of the soul,
el privilegio de la vida  /  the privilege of life
como canta el Pájaro Minah  /  as the Minah Bird sings.

Una procesión de focos avanza,  /  A procession of lights goes onward,
rugir de tanques, ruido de armas.  /  tanks roar, noise of guns.
Un grito llama a la venganza  /  A shout claims for revenge
cuando un soldado dispara al Pájaro Minah.  /  when a soldier shoots the Minah Bird.

Tanques y tropas arrasan la ciudad.  /  Tanks and troops raze the city.
La estupidez humana es el arma más letal.  /  Human stupidity is the most lethal weapon.
Cien años de historia  /  A hundred years of history
en una noche ven su final.  /  in one night watch their end.

Cuando el ave cae al suelo  /  When the bird falls to the ground
y su sangre se convierte en hielo,  /  and its blood turns to ice,
y se apaga su cantar…  /  and its singing fades…
Jamás aprenderás si no quieres escuchar.  /  You’ll never learn if you don’t want to listen.

Pero cómo no lo pueden ver?  /  But how can’t they see it?
Hemos sido bendecidos al nacer.  /  We have been blessed at birth.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que la vida es sueño.  /  that life is dream.

Y no quiero despertar   /  And I don’t want to wake up
de este sueño equivocado.  /  from this wrong dream.
Me siento bien…  /  I feel alright …
Me siento bien…  /  I feel alright …

I am always trying to be more neutral and nonjudgemental in my experiences of myself and others. 

Just so you all know, I am healthy, happy, and doing well. Life is good for me. I am very blessed. 

Sending nonjudgemental listening and witnessing out into the world. 

Big thanks to DeeP for passionately inviting me to join in on another project and choosing the perfect beat for me to channel the shadow muses. Huge thanks to Russ for laying down the cool experimental guitar work and taking a break from mixing and mastering duties.

Lyrics:

She was found alone dead in her bed
27 years and already dead
He went and took one straight to the head
And it took 3 days before any knew he was dead
She was introverted 
Lived reclusive
Took the path of seclusion to her conclusion
After leaving prison  
An impoverished condition was the state he lived in
Without any of his friends and fans in the ending

In the ending
In the ending
In the ending 

Without anyone around in the ending 
Without anyone to love in the ending
Without anyone who cares in the ending
Without anyone with prayers in the ending

I’m thinkin’ a popping the pills again, again
I’m fixin’ ta shoot up my veins again, again
I’m drinkin’ away my will again, again
I’m sinkin’ into a hole again, 
Wastin’ my life on a dream that always pending
Hating everything that I waste all my time making 
Who am I kidding I’m nothing I’m just pretending 
Everyday digging my self a little bit closer to the ending
 
There were moments when the pain went away
When the weight of life didn’t seem to weigh
Fleeting moment suggesting to stay  
While the rest of life was pushing towards dismay  
Feeling hopeless
With misguided purpose
Constant pursuing with nothing ever accruing 
Is just worthless 
What’s the meaning of being around others when
Others are really only attending to mending their own feelings in the ending    

I don’t care, I don’t really care, I don’t give a fuck, I don’t give a damn, 
I don’t give a shit

--------------------lyrics

Never enough to know
that fireworks don't always explode
40 days have passed us by
Left smoldering glowing skies

no one knows your early story...

Blessed be the creaking stair
warning you of all that you fear
Heavy breath and humid air  
that swallows angels' dusty prayers

No one knows your early story…
heard it through the open window
whispers in the form of curses

Floating on the Ely Sky
Beneath our backs dark water flows
Million stars and northern lights
witness your secret undertow 

No one knows your early story…
heard it through the broken window
whispers in the form of curses

…already gone 

Will you promise me just this:
steal the dollars hidden under

First you walk and then you run
turn to dust your father figure

Steal away on the midnight bus
connect the dots across the water

Save yourself and only you
One last eye to the Ely Sky…
