was great working with you again after 20 years @junkyardsam

Great collaboration! I thought I commented before. Anyhow, good times!!!

Whoa!! I came here to check on you and I had forgotten about this song. Our collaborations are always awesome! I hope you're doing well my friend!

"Outcast"

I push the boat out to water
Sometimes we all need a break
No replacement don't want another
Rowing forward never running away
Rowing forward never running away
Never running away

I know the first won't be the last
Looking back at the distance we passed
Time always moves swift and fast
Lonely and cold, an outcast
Lonely and cold and outcast
Outcast

All is said moving on
Always fighting to get life on track
Get life on track
The future's full steam ahead
As we're approaching the final act
Can't escape the feeling attacked
By my mind and it's not over yet
But it's not over yet
Twisted and cracked
Shifting tides tossed in fields of regret
Shifting tides tossed in fields of regret

I know the first won't be the last
Looking back at the distance we passed
Time always moves swift and fast
Lonely and cold, an outcast
Lonely and cold and outcast

I called her name at the grave
Gone not forgotten or lost
Tears and sweat pouring into the page
Write through pain and pay the cost
But the written word's just not the same
It's all translation captured in vain
Crashing down to a dark lake of shame
And now you know I am the one who's to blame
Now you know I am the one who's to blame

I know the first won't be the last
Looking back at the distance we passed
Time always moves swift and fast
Lonely and cold, an outcast
Like a black hole open and vast
We're passing on in the role we are cast
No control of present or past
We do our best to make the good times last
We do our best to make the memories last
Outcast

Outcast

World,

This is the second composition of Dreamscape - Chapter Two: "Machines". All parts of this composition are made by MLC Vanamsterdam, Radu Sover, Jim Dunn, Sada Exposada and Sam Nelson, using Cherry Audio's Voltage Modular only.

The guidelines for part two were: Theme: "Machines", BPM: 135, Scale: C LYDIAN SCALE (C = Root | C D E F# G A B)and Genre: No-limitations.

In the end I used 114 tracks, 75 mixer-channels and 122 wave-samples. 

Thanks to all contributers for making this possible. Again, it's a journey.

I hope in future we will create more chapters for Dreamscape. My goal is to reach an hour.

Check out Voltage modular on the website of www.cherryaudio.com and feel free to stop by the facebook page of the Voltage Modular users: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2689074021316824

---------------------------------------------

Seed sunken branching split
Feed the need that planted it
Fear the greed that supplants that which
Takes what feeds and consumes it

Cut the will no short cut path
To cut the swill out from the craft
Don't cut the ties, 'cause those unsewn
Will suss the wrath and die alone 

Constantly obsessing over the right to bear arms lives the man below
He leaves behind his wife and son and runs out with his gun in hand to go
But it does no good; He's misunderstood and we know
It's all a show
He lights up the sky with his lie
A warning shot is heard but denied
By the night
 
Broken promise sits upon the step
Not taken; Cracks in it
On it sits a door, not shut
But opened by who came before
Those of us who pass unchecked 
Must leave it open for the next

Follow me to Eternity

Dancing on the sand she's left her man (again)
Her little girl is left with him and then
He builds a ship
And promises to fly her away to a place
Where people go at night to escape
She closes her eyes and trusts his word
Without understanding just what she heard. 
She drifts away
Undisturbed in a way; Distracted by the light
She moves toward the warmth it provides

It's daylight
Morning
The sun is so bright

Tricked again but humans win 
The strongest virus lies within
It's called a sin to lust again
But all who came will come again
Drawn together by the light
And held together by whats right
Our ties will weather any storm
Defeating evil; Any form

Follow me to Eternity

She came back and the man went inside
They agreed to put their differences aside
Now the son and the little girl could sleep sound at night
Together they are as strong and righteous as the almight(ty)
Tree summons man into flight but the roots runs deep so the wind is alright
Then the four of them now branch into ten
Then it multiplies and starts all over again
And again

Eternal Swill

"Rebound"

Hey close the door
I like playing around
One two three panic
Four five six sell
One two three panic
Four five six
From something to nothing sell

Sell at the highs and buy at the low
Watch the market how low can it go
Checking numbers betting against the grain
Cashing in just to start again

I can't see a way out
Oh I can't find my way out
This day has no value
But I keep chasing for the highest number
Oh I can't find a way out

One two three risk takes a hold of me
Four five six oh let's disappear
One two three last push rebound
Four five six rush hush adults are playing

Breaking water rushing sound of sea rebound
Margin call got the best of me
Coming back for a second round
Catch a high all to fall back down
Washed out wonder at a wishing well
From the sky oh so far I fell
Icarus melted feather fun
Burned from the sun now I'm almost done

I can't see a way out
Oh I can't find my way out
Today shot up in value
You got me climbing to the top I can't let go now
Oh I don't want to get out
Life has a legacy if I can leave it I'll let it go now
Oh I promise but I won't find a way ever to go out
I can't find my way out

Rebound

"South to Waco"

A universal lockdown
A fraction of the population has to set their lives aside to die
A fraction of the population has to set their lives aside to die
We ask you social distance muzzle up and stay inside
But don't ask why
Stay distracted to what happens close your eyes and mind
But don't question our lies
Focus on the death and pretend you enjoy your financial demise

I don't know where to go all I know is I want out
Stuck inside left inside left in doubt losing time
Losing out lost my mind fuck the plan I'm outside
And I'm never going back to the lies I left it for
No I don't need a mask I don't need a gag
I just want things back to the way they were before
1984 took the life that we worked for
Shut it down and left us poor

I just want to feel the sun again
Taste the rain and see my friends
In hand and stretched across the sky
We said goodbye
All who died will ride again

That's a nice mask I'm so impressed
It looks so right with your Toyota Prius
Confessing virtues signalled from the chest
A worried warrior for social justice
That's ok we can do our own thing you see
That's how it works in this land of the free
Keep to yourself and I'll keep it to me
I'm going out

I just want to feel the sun again
Taste the rain and see my friends
In hand and stretched across the sky
We said goodbye
All who died will ride again

A fraction of the population has to set their lives aside to die
We ask you social distance muzzle up and stay inside
But don't ask why
Stay distracted to what happens close your eyes and mind
But don't question our lies
Focus on the death and pretend you enjoy your financial demise

A new day is rising in the West
Total surveillance and no right to protest
Forced vaccination is how it begins
Sterilization is how it will end
Stay inside? Fuck no now I know just where to go
Got my boys and my wife at my side
And I know that my daughter is ready to go
Load up the van we're heading South to Waco

I just want to feel the sun again
Taste the rain and see my friends
In hand and stretched across the sky
We said goodbye
All who died will ride again
Hand in hand and stretched across the sky
We said goodbye
All who died will ride again
All who died will ride again
All who died will ride again
All who died will ride again

South to Waco

"Something Something"

Undulation anticipation I can't explain
You're in my head and I want you out
So I can hear my baby say my name
One two three four

Another chance is all a peasant can ask
It's all a dance for the man that sips his blood in a flask
Something something about all work and no play
And how Jack should be grateful to break his back for low pay
A silly lie says we all stand a chance
As we kneel to the man begging for an advance
Something something about he's so generous
So take this gift and pay it back with twenty percent interest

Okay but that's ok
We're all fucked in our own way
My slaves they love me
No problems with my money it's okay

Intersexed with the gender unset
You never know it's a binary threat
Something something about a shade of grey
Polarized by strange things that he'd say
A broken string symbolizes a scene
In the dream of a parent victimized by the plan
Something something about indoctrination
The look on Dad's face when Johnny left with a man

Okay but that's ok
We're all fucked in our own way
My slaves they love me
Got problems with my money be okay

The sky is red like the glint in her eyes
A hint of smoke faded grey reflection of burning skies
Something something about an election year
A new direction a new flavor of fear
So cast him out he'll laugh and give a high five
To the new guy on his way in as he passes the knife
Something something about a special new tax
Look away as the knife goes in our backs
You thought it's different this time why would it be
It's been like this through all history
Something something about my tinfoil hat
Get back to work and be grateful for that
It's okay yeah right
We're all slaves in our own way

My slaves they love me
No problem with my money
We're all slaves in our own way
We all work our lives away
But let's pretend we have a say
We're all fucked in our own way

Something Something

"Slumberland"

King Morpheus sends the clown to bed
But not his own he's sent into our hero's head
Little Nemo slumbers sound asleep
An invitation from the Princess who he is to meet
On a horse flying through the sky
Who is this guy
It's Flip the Clown in his top hat
Nemo couldn't keep the horse held back
Tumbles down to the ground and wakes up on his back

The Princess waits for the boy to arrive
In Slumberland where the dreams are alive
Whoa oh oh

She's always only one adventure away
And maybe next Sunday will be the day
And she's knows
He's on her mind and she's on his all the time
He'll never stop until he finds out a way
To meet her

Night after night and foiled again
It might take years to find her in Slumberland
She'll wait for him to arrive
To be together 'til the end of all time

Slumberland

"Small Man in a Box"

I like that attitude it's just what it is
Oh how are the levels
They're good we can turn up the music a little bit
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
Sad Small Man in a Box
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
Sad Small Man in a Box

Oh God I can't take it
Huh who's that? Oh look it's Amazon
Got a shiny new thing
Technology

Stuck inside like an animal
Feeling so small infinitesimal
Come to my zoo but don't step in my bars
And please please wear your mask inside your cars
You might get yourself sick we don't want that
It's a minor inconvenience you spoiled brat
Don't complain just do as you're told
Be a good consumer of these lies we sold
Oh your words are too direct
You have no respect
Do you want grandma to die? Yes

Oh I'm reporting you for that
Sad Small Man in a Box
Oh I'm gonna report you to Reddit right now
Sad Small Man in a Box
You're a Covid idiot

Buy a nice skin so you can dress to impress
In your shitty online game you play with all your fake friends
Level up peasant this is pay-to-win
Buy your way to the top next season do it again
Go ahead it's great
Spend all your money on fake real estate
Yeah? Huh oh
Get your trust fund let it go to your head
You're so important 'cause of what your dad did
Buy house and rent it to a slave
And let them work and pay until their grave
Brag all about all the books you never read
Watch CNN and parrot what they said
Say what you want as long as it's the same
An echo chamber circle jerk for fame

So stay alone eyes glued to the screens
No need for exercise we have vaccines
What did you say are you an antivaxxer what
Sad Small Man in a Box
Oh my God I don't think we can be friends anymore
I'm gonna post this to Twitter
Sad Small Man in a Box
Oh no he didn't get banned and nobody liked my tweet
Sad Small Man in a Box
Oh no Fauci didn't respond to my email
He hurt my feelings
Sad Small Man in a Box
I don't wanna live anymore

Watch the news live in fear
Wear your mask lose a year
Take your pills stay alone
Have no kids just love your phone
Stay online have no dreams
Dull your mind just buy things
Hate yourself go in debt
Have no wealth just work 'til death
That's it I'm gonna report you again

World,

This is the first composition of Dreamscape - Chapter One: "Origins". All parts of this composition are made by MLC Vanamsterdam, Radu Sover, Pablo Garcia-Hernandez, Sada Exposada and Sam Nelson.

It all started the 27th of november 2020 on the Facebook page of the Voltage Modular User Group with this message: "I was wondering: does anyone feel like participating in a project solely based on voltage modular? What I would like to achieve is: "One hour of music - not individual tracks: an experience - made by various musicians all over the world in different styles/genres using only their unique patches designed in Voltage Modular".

The guidlines for contributions were: BPM: 128, Scale: C-HARMONIC MINOR SCALE (C = Root | C D D# F G G# B)and Genre: No-limitations.

We didn't make the hour unfortunately, but 14 minutes. People already said this piece feels like a journey - I have had a lot of fun making this and i would like to thank every one who worked on this project and made this possible.

I hope in future we will create more chapters for Dreamscape.

Dreamscape - Chapter One: "Origins"

"1985"

You wanna start a fire? Let's go back
Way back when technology was our god
We had modems they were 300 baud
It wasn't fast just the best they could get
We surfed the net before it existed yet BBS
Mans best friend the Commodore 64
Mechanical pencil and Trapper Keeper
MTV and radio disc jockeys
And on our tapes Misfits and Dead Kennedys

1985 it was great
Repo Man on a VCR tape not Beta
Up all night reading Mad Magazine
Hanging out with Max Headroom G.I. Joe and A-Team and She-Ra
I used the Crystal Castle as a makeup kit

Running wild just a kid on the street
Catching crawfish with a string at the creek
Burning quarters at the mall arcades
Meeting girls on rented roller skates backwards
And better yet I rocked the 6581
Decades before you kids with your Ableton Live
Catch the wave and sunburns at water parks
Staying out all night way after dark

1985 it was great
Repo Man on a VCR tape
Up all night reading Mad Magazine
Hanging out with Max Headroom G.I. Joe and A-Team
Stepping now into my time machine
Jess at my side and all my kids are with me
We're going back to the land of the free
Back in time back to 1989

1985

"Great State of Hate"

Do what they say, do what they say
If you do what they say, they'll throw you away
Do what they say, do what they say
If you do what they say, they'll throw you away
Do what they say, do what they say
If you do what they say, they'll throw you away
Do what they say, do what they say
If you do what they say, they'll throw you away
Do what they say, they'll throw you away
Do what they say, they'll throw you away

Tweet tweet tweet all your lies and deceit
Report your adversaries like a Nazi
You think your nanny nanny state is so great
You, your, you're Cancel Culture
You're Two Minutes of Hate
Quick to criticize and quicker to hate
Type your hate on a phone made by a slave
You're so much better 'cause you stopped eating meat
But you forgot the cow that died to leather your feet

Come from the left but now they're just like the right
They call for change only their fight has no bite
Fake protests replaced by fake promises
No hope or change just excuses and lies
They get their news from corporate TV
Which made the virus their whole identity
They're quick to report their own friends just to win
Censorship is just a means to an end right

Pretend to love the life you actually hate
You're so much better on your Facebook update
Just need to buy the most expensive car
To show the world how important you are
So much debt let's take on some more
We wouldn't want someone to think you are poor
Spend and buy obey consume and then die
Spend and pretend who cares what for or what why

Come from the left but now they're just like the right
They call for change only their fight has no bite
Fake protests replaced by fake promises
No hope or change just excuses and lies
They get their news from corporate TV
Which made the virus their whole identity
They're quick to report their own friends just to win
Censorship is just a means to an end right
Cowards

Give up in fear all that they ask
Just take the jab and wear your fucking mask
Lockdown year two nothing you can do
To stop control over you and things you want to do
You chose the wrong side and made it all worse
You criticized dissent and censored our words
You're Master's good slave you'll work 'til your gray
Forget the life you gave they'll just throw you away
They'll just throw you away
They'll just throw you away
They'll just throw you away if you do what they say
They'll throw you away
