Sonofa  Merica

This song is called "Sonofa  Merica".  it's about  the fairly common lament of the struggle of making a living and the government asking for more.   

Lyrics;
Ain't got much money
Don't hear anybody calling me rich
But the IRS called me
A son of America

Had my nose to the grindstone
For most of my life
Put the roof over my kids
And me and my wife
But I feel that I pursue happiness
At the point of a knife

I'm just man of few means
I have my wishes and dreams
Never did I see my coffers
filling up to the seams

Big Uncle sam
Sees the piggy bank on my shelf
And he gets pretty mad
If I keep too much for myself
Must think it's a pot of gold
It's just an old busted piggy bank and nothing else

But, I'm just man of few means
With limited dreams
Never saw my coffers
fill up to the seams

It's like I better pay Washington
Or they'll show up on my lawn
And walk right through my door
And take even more. And take even more. And take even more. And take even more.

I pay my fair share
I try to do the right thing
And my home is my castle
But hey I'm just pauper king
And I love being free
But if this keeps up I'll be free
of having anything !

Ain't got much money
Don't hear anybody calling me rich
But the IRS called me
A son of America

track 6 originally from Flooding

she tears me up

Lyrics:


There is a place 
Where echoes go to sleep,
Where even light
Forgets how to return.

Your shadow lingers in the rainfall,
Soft and endless,
Like the aftertaste of a dream.
Every drop carries 


I walk through the wind’s memory -
Your laughter,
A faint vibration in the fog.


There are petals on the ground
That still remember 
The warmth of your breath.

Time opens—
A wound made of stars,
Bleeding slow light
Into the horizon.
I reach for you,
But touch only distance -

Hei!

It's difficult to categorize my music into just one genre. It draws influence from trip hop, breakbeat, instrumental and abstract hip hop, heavy rock, techno, minimal, sound art, contemporary, glitch, and more!

I admire many artists, and you might detect their influence in my work. Among the best are Daft Punk and Massive Attack, followed by 90s Ninja Tune artists like Amon Tobin, DJ Vadim, The Herbaliser, and Kid Koala. I've had the pleasure of seeing many of them live at the legendary Ilosaari Rock festivals. I also appreciate French hip hop, particularly Le Peuple de l'herbe. Other inspirations include The Prodigy, Portishead, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Gorillaz, Moby, Mono, Thievery Corporation, Future Sound of London, and more. My taste spans from acid jazz and funk to lo-fi and even punk or hard metal, depending on my mood.

I've been making music since the early 2000s, starting with MadTracker software (I am fine with the program name). A few years ago, I transitioned to music production with Ableton Live 10, and I'm currently using version 12. Some of my tracks are experimental, stemming from explorations over the past 20 years, while others are entirely new compositions. This experimentation is perhaps influenced by my background in research—I'm eager to explore new territories, including music.

Nature is my second passion. I tend to a micro-farm in the summer, raising sheep and chickens and restoring it to its traditional biohabitat. In the winter, I evade to the city and brood there, craving for the countryside's spring, summer, and autumn... or dreaming being in hot and sunny place by a sea or river...

I'm open to collaborations, akin to scientific endeavors where novel and exciting outcomes emerge from teamwork. Feel free to reach out!

Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to my SoundCloud friends, website visitors, and music listeners. This community is truly remarkable!

Tarmo aka Funking Duck
