lyrics by IPG1

Chorus
I’m on a mission—— so hold tight and feel the vibe
A new direction——- but still Going to keep it live
And if you’re itching —-to turn up the volume fine
Crank it and listen ——-cause I’m about to blow your mind

Verse1
No mistakes —-never hesitate
No glory—— no prize—— no lives at stake
I’m gonna keep the faith no matter what it takes
and it’s peace over war—— so I stay awake

—-🎵Watch every step I take ——plan every move I make
I was built for love—— and not the hate 🎵
I go hard ——-so why hesitate
this is the winning team ——time to elevate
—-Got The mindset ——let’s negotiate
games Tight—-that’s right ——it’s Make or break
follow me into the light ——time to elevate
another day another night —-nah—-it’s never too late
to create —-understand and fascinate
eat it up ——ask for more ——tasty—— scrape your plate
is gravy to me—— so I’mer keep it straight
everything else ——is a piece of cake

Answer the calls—— from the voices inside of me
follow the signs ——-that lead to my destiny
it might take some time ——for all to see
Fluorescent writing on the wall—-like graffiti
infusing the track with—- positive energy
once of paper——— it’s vocal currency
skill level ——Stone Cold —-A—-prodigy ——-
that’s my legacy——- building a dynasty

Chorus

Never walk the straight narrow —-choose the rules that I obey
forgive and forget (ha—-)that might happen someday
don’t follow the crowd —-and needless to say
I try not to —-let my ego ——get in the way
I’m thankful although—-I don’t kneel and pray
And I’m truly blessed —-y’all know I’m set in my ways
but thank you Lord —-for another blessing today
in the meantime ——-please try to meet me halfway
please try to meet me halfway

1.Vers 
Du selber bist die Liebe Bruder setz den Teufel Schach Matt
ein Diener des Lichtes in der finstersten Nacht 
Bruder mache Platz in deinem Inneren für das was 
Gott dir zugedacht hat Bournel bleibt ein Bastard 
der menschliche Abschaum Shut the Fuck up
Die Menschenwelt ist abfuck fuck mich nicht ab 
die Welt der Menschen Bruder die fucked mich nur ab 
ja kriechen und knechten Bruder bitte lass das
sei auf der Hut und bleibe immer weiter wachsam 
liebe deinen nächsten überwache deinen Nachbar 
mach ma FS ich mach dann ´nen Abgang 
Kurt Cobain ins Nirvana mit der Pumpgun
lass die Welt verbrennen in der selbsterkenntnis 
erkenne dich dann selbst hier am Weltenende 
man das Ende der Welt es ist schon Selbstverständlich 
und versteht sich wie von selbst und wir rennen durch die Kälte 
immer noch zu Hause zwischen Weser und Elbe
immer noch der Selbe, ich schöpfe aus der Quelle 
uns trennen die Welten Bournel zieht ins Feld 
ja sowas siehst du selten unterm Sternenzelt
Raus aus dem Gehege, ich steige aus dem Käfig 
gezeichnet vom Leben, mich zeichnet das Leben 
Portraitmalerei auf die weiße Tapete 
Leonardo Da Vinci ich scheiss auf Mercedes
es wird höchste Zeit aus dem Käfig zu steigen 
komm lasse uns gemeinsam die Wege beschreiten 
Ehrfahrung meine Nahrung und ich gehe durch die Scheisse 
ich spucke Lebenszeichen in die Ewigkeit 
die Welt sie geht zu Grunde doch du stehst nur daneben 
die Erben des Elends sie tretten und tretten 
die lebenden Wesen durch´s Käfiggehege 
ja das menschliche Miteinander ist nur ekelerregened 

Chorus:
Scratches 
Ficke das System und wir gehen auf Nahkampf 
komm mir nicht zu nah man ich bin die Gefahr
Scratches 
Auf in die Freiheit Bitte Bitte dalang 
springe in den Schrank es geht auf nach Narnia
scratches

2.Vers 
Wut, Hass und Zorn und Kummer sind die Norm 
ich bin leider nicht für dieses Leben hier geboren 
Lebensfreude und Nächstenliebe 
machen diese Hölle zu ´nem wunderschönen Ort 
ja getrieben von Krisen und einem Leben voll Schmerz 
man tief liegt die Liebe in jedem Wesen der Kern 
ja die Seele ist ewig der Kern jedes Wesens 
und ich gebe mich hin gehe die Wege des Herrn 
kein Leben im Gehege man ich crashe das System 
Spaß und Freude kleiner Bruder das tut niemandem weh 
man ich trinke deinen Tränen, Zeit die Fehler einzusehen 
es ist alles Perspektive ich versinke im Gebet 
du selber du bist Rettung Bruder und es ist noch nicht zu spät 
deine Sicht der Dinge Bruder nicht die Realität 
höre auf dein Herz gehe deinen eigenen Weg 
man zu leben heisst durch die Scheisse zu gehen 


Chorus:
Scratches 
Ficke das System und wir gehen auf Nahkampf 
komm mir nicht zu nah man ich bin die Gefahr
Scratches 
Auf in die Freiheit Bitte Bitte dalang 
springe in den Schrank es geht auf nach Narnia
scratches

Isn’t it amazing how a lifetime passes by – you are a father now and once you were a son
And everyone who knew you then still think they know you now – judge you for all you did not what you've done
I’d like to think I’m drifting on a cloud and looking out upon the souls that I have touched along the way
And like to think their looking back and as they smile they say – Hey man you know what you were okay
And when I feel I’m going nowhere – I’m going nowhere fast I look into your eyes once again
And when I feel I’m going nowhere – I’m going nowhere fast I realize that you're my one true friend
Isn’t it amazing how a lifetime passes by – you were a warrior and you still are now – and everyone who knew you then still think they know you now but because of you I made it through somehow
I’d like to think I’m drifting on a cloud and looking out upon the souls that I have touched along the way
And like to think their looking back and as they smile they say – hey man – you know what you were ok
And when I feel I’m going nowhere – I’m going nowhere fast I look into your eyes once again
And when I feel I’m going nowhere going nowhere fast I realize that you're my one true friend
Isn’t it amazing how a lifetime passes by kids have grown they got their own lives to live
I thank the lord they see me now same way they saw me then but to go back twenty years what I wouldn’t give
I like to think I’m drifting on a cloud and looking out upon my kids who understand my forte
And like to think their looking back and as they smile they say you know what – Dad you were okay

Nowhere Fast

About the Title: David and I were discussing the title of our piece and I mentioned that it didn't matter to me.  "I am easy to please. Unless I'm not".  And thus, our title. Thank you, @david-dunhamuser589535203 ! 

About the Artwork: This little beauty is a portrait of me drawn by my son at the age of 7 (many years ago!). Please note the happy mother caring for her children.  This is a detail from his whole family portrait in which small characters float around a huge virago-type mother.  My son was the only person smiling in his rendering of our family.  I suppose he was able to look past his plight and smile.
My self-esteem hasn't quite recovered.

Let Me In (feat. Gustav Bjoerck)

(Free WAV Download available here under '••• More'; and eventually, as part of a future solo album)

Latin, literally ‘not having control of one's mind’.

If there was ever a time in my life when I questioned the sanity of the world, this would be it. So many things are not working; and so many people in power seem to want to keep it that way. How does one maintain hope (and provide others hopeful ideas), when the daily news tells such a different story? At what point do the hopeful messages just feel out of touch, rather than helpful?

Bo Burnham’s comedy special ‘Inside’ (on Netflix, but you can find several skits on YouTube as well) should be recommended viewing for all human beings right now. It’s a brilliantly insightful and snarky view of the world we live in, and a candid peek into his struggles facing that world. Half charming, half alarming… he is unapologetic and razor sharp in how he interprets the modern age. Here’s a line from one of the opening songs that really hit home for me:

"The more I look, the more I see nothing to joke about. Is comedy over? Should I leave you alone? Cause really who's gonna go for joking at a time like this? Should I be joking at a time like this? I wanna help to leave this world better than I found it. And I fear that comedy won't help, and the fear is not unfounded."

This so accurately summarizes how I feel right now. Is what I’m doing helping? Or does (you pick the hot topic driving you nuts at the moment) seem so out of control, that I seem out of touch with reality… trumpeting loving and hopeful messages in the face of the chaos? 

In the end, I feel there are only two paths available to us at any given time; activity and inactivity. I don’t know that the specific activity matters as much as the drive and purpose behind that activity. I suspect the point is simply to do anything positive that tells the universe where your heart and intent are focused. The alternative… inactivity probably looks a lot like freezing in your tracks, getting lost in fear (or anger, which I consider a sub-category of fear)… and refusing to (or feeling like you can’t) move forward. It’s pretty easy to imagine how that energy won’t be helping anyone… especially you.

So maybe it’s as simple as just doing something that seems meaningful to you. Maybe that means protesting. Or donating to causes that align with your values. It might be conserving water, limiting waste, and recycling. Perhaps it’s providing your services and skills to someone in need; or simply smiling at someone as you pass them on the street. And it can also take the form of artistic and creative expression; a valuable offering for people in need of evocative images, sounds and ideas. All of these things hold power. And all are important in my mind. So rather than questioning whether we’re doing the right things, or enough of the right things… maybe we just need to follow our hearts (not our minds), and see where that leads us. Our hearts already seem to know us better than we know ourselves anyway. Let’s try trusting that little fellow, and see where it takes us.

I hope you enjoy my latest sonic adventure, ‘Non Compos Mentis’. :)

MEDITATION 19 : ON THE WAY TO

Vox and Final Mix by Eleyan Di Palma (Queen of Beatz )

Gonna Fly

NOTES
Conceptually the song works on two levels. 

The literal meaning involves two descriptions, one of escaping a bad place by boat only to be returned by bad weather, and then on returning, witnessing the imprisonment of friends. These descriptions signify the difficulty of escape.

The second level is metaphorical. The existentialist philosopher Albert Camus famously explained the absurdity of life’s existence by comparing it with the situation depicted in the Greek tragedy, The myth of Sisyphus. Sisyphus is condemned to the meaningless task – like that of repetitive work – of pushing a boulder up a hill only for it to roll down to the bottom, and for the process to start over again, ad infinitum. Sisyphus always ends up back where he was before. Camus speculates that even though, like all of human life, the predicament is crazy and horrifying, Sisyphus defies his situation and presses on. “One must imagine Sisyphus happy” says Camus.

I like Camus’s approach to absurdity: to confront it with sanguine, upbeat, defiance.

LYRICS
Suddenly life changes
Suddenly we’re gone
Lining up with strangers
To travel far away
We are uncertain (all of our lives)
Of what in hell we might find
Oh!
Suddenly life's dangers
Suddenly are here
Say goodbye to all of our friends
We sail.
We sail.
~
The wind, it blows
It was howling
The moon so full
It was rising, pointing
Towards a place of hope
~
There’s only so much we can take
Then suddenly the storm clouds break
Riding the waves to shore
Seems we’ve been here before
Back where we were before
~
Suddenly life changes
Suddenly we’re home
Lining up with neighbors
To do it all again
We’re very certain
Of what in hell we will find
Oh!
Suddenly life’s dangers
Suddenly so clear
Say hello to all of our friends
In jail
In jail
~
The walls
So high
They were
Scraping scraping
The sky
So grey
It was 
Falling, warning
‘gainst a taste of hope
There’s only so much we can take
Before we crash these walls and break
Out of the blue once more
Seems we’ve been here before
Back where we were before.

This track is built on top of a sequence that I produced with the microfreak sequencer which I was quite happy with. The drum track was created in Korg Gadget and many of the added synth lines are from the minilogue.

Music unconsciously reflects a state of mind.

A few weeks after the accident he couldn't find the time to create new music. That's why I decided to reissue this title, which coincided with a negative episode in my life, revitalizing some sounds and eliminating others, to obtain a dark result and adding synthesizers at the end that would express something like a cry of liberation.

I hope you liked the result.

Thanks for the comments and support.

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
