Hello, friends. 

 Welcome back to our music chamber.
We have a new track for you. ‘Nocturnalis’.
It was improvised freely by David Nelson and I and 
recorded on Jan 21, 2025 in Mamaroneck NY.

  A week later my computer crashed and all this data was lost and eventually recovered (whew!-thanks to the glorious and gifted geeks of BestBuy’s Geek Squad) . There was a lot of nail-biting in February, and I completed the editing in early March. 

 Today’s release is timed to coincide with a commemoration of Bela Bartok’s 144th birthday. Ever since my music teacher Irwin Stahl introduced me to Bartok, this music has been commanding prime real estate in my ear.
The current track is not by Bartok, per se, but his influence is in my blood, having steeped myself in the study and adulation of his entire oeuvre since 1977. If you are not familiar with his works, here are a few timeless gems;

Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste
Concerto for Orchestra
Contrasts for Clarinet, Violin, and Piano
Piano Concerto #3
The Miraculous Mandarin
Dance Suite
Suite for 2 Pianos
 
 These are just tips of the iceberg. Check them out.
I hope you find them worth renting space in your head, too.

 So, here is the opening track, ‘Nocturnalis’ from Duo Treason’s 11th album, “Soon to be Titled”. You may or may not detect Bartok’s influence, it’s subtle. It lurks in the shadows.
David plays a Steinway grand piano, model O, and I play a Silent Yamaha Classical guitar.

Back with Observers rule the Sun. I'll zip it for this one The Song can do the spouting and I'll just observe... haha mostly.. Decided to go with 3 acoustic arrangement, live mic for each on a seperate run and just sang while doing them so it's vox/acoustic x 3

Human time again. I think I'll make a rule for this song.... never play it with exact time. Only what comes out. Ruling that time. Ruling that sun. Love and Light to everyone 🔆

Lyrics

'Seed to simplify
Need to sense sight
Food for prescience
Moods from heavens
Beeds had roses in flames
Deeds from men insane
Creeds of confusion reigned
Cede it to never again

Feed my control
Knead self and soul
Knurl your metal mind
Unfurl your very kind
Know one inner you
Go control no two
This onness can become
When observers rule the sun

So on this Earth, We give birth
We found our worth
So on this Earth, We give birth
We found our worth

Read, to simplify
Sieze your sense of sight
In clues for prescience
Foods from heavens
Seeds have roses with names
Beeds from humans sane
Creed dissillusion saved
Ceded to never again

Feed my control
Knead self and soul
Knurl your metal mind
Unfurl your very kind
Know one inner you
Go control no two
This onness can become
When observers rule the sun

One cannot stare naked eye
In heart, cry explain cry
I'm told our sun enrols
All backbone of our soul
Some change or well be gone
Observers cannot be wrong



Knead: Work together with your hands. Mix

Knurl: Imprint a pattern on metal for a grip etc. So I mean a grip on your mind

Observers rule the Sun

Loved You To Infinity

just one thing

This song is a haunting reflection on feeling lost and disconnected, like walking alone in a desolate landscape where even the familiar is distorted and unrecognizable. The lyrics convey a sense of disorientation and longing, as I search for a way to mend the shattered pieces of my heart and find my place in the world. The song is a poignant exploration of the pain and uncertainty that comes with trying to navigate through darkness and find a glimmer of hope.


LYRICS: 

[Verse]
In the shadows I walk alone
Searching for a place unknown
Echoes like whispers in my head
But these hollow streets they’re dead 

[Verse 2]
Broken mirrors on the wall
I see nothing I recall
Fragmented dreams under my skin
Lost before I could begin 

[Chorus]
Crashing waves of silence cold
A story in ruins left untold
Shattered pieces of my heart
Trying to mend what fell apart 

[Verse 3]
Through the mist and through the night
Seeking stars to guide my flight
On the edge of something real
Show me how I’m meant to feel 

[Bridge]
Darkness whispers sweet deceit
Empty promises we meet
Salvation’s a brittle lie
In the void where shadows cry 

[Chorus]
Crashing waves of silence cold
A story in ruins left untold
Shattered pieces of my heart
Trying to mend what fell apart




Crashing Waves

File Update 3: Added Electric guitar

File Update 2: Added cello and viola sections throughout

File Update 1: Bass / Piano and more solid vocal delivery in... Its just spinning plates


Money really is the route of our evil. In this song I made a nice connection with Earth having never really had anything to do with money. It doesn't give a shit what we do but it will cycle and change to rebalance based on what we do...

Money is really the poison of our spirits. Or at least because it's so attached to materialism then way too many of us wake up and go asleep and in-between.. just work for money...

We've created this amazing. tool called AI which we are being sold as making our lives better.. ok how? There's enough money in the world to feed everyone... we now have this amazing AI to do all that work... So where's the lifestyle shift coming from towards the greater good. It's bullshit because the top 1% of the capitalistic shit heap will benefit from AI and people won't unless we demand that. Meanwhile most get tunnel visioned programming it with LLMs making it easier for that top 1% to manipulate the situation...


Where are people doing whatever they want more with their own lives... Not seeing enough of it yet but I'm hoping we get there... Like poisonous ideas latch on quickly... Positive ones should too when enough people latch onto them and project that. We learn empathy from each other according to emotional intelligence experts so maybe we have to stop projecting how fucked the world is and start amplifying the little bits of light that make it amazing and give us a future ♻️

[intro]

I want some jalapeño honey
Jalapeño honey, jalapeño honey
just give me some more

[verse]
It spreads out so very smooth
It covers every inch
It is what you want to use
When you have the itch

[verse]
Jalapeño honey, easy to find
She lives on down the street
Don't draw down the blinds
Jalapeño honey always on my mind

[chorus]
I want some jalapeño honey
Jalapeño honey, jalapeño honey
Just give me some more

[instrumental]

[verse]
Jalapeño honey been around
I look up to her window
I'm drawn by the sound
Guess what, she's looking down

[verse]
Oh what a sight to see
That's what I want on top
Jalapeño honey is in my dreams
I don't ever want to stop

[instrumental]

[verse]
Jalapeño honey, tastes so good
You can't have it all, that is understood

Jalapeño honey, that's it for me
Jalapeño honey, just won't let me be

[chorus]
I want some jalapeño honey
Jalapeño honey, jalapeño honey
Just give me some more

[instrumental]

I want some jalapeño honey
Jalapeño honey, jalapeño honey
Just give me some more

[instrumental]
