Ringtone for Daniel Trudeau

from ROOM/y aka concept album with rearranged Rumi poems as lyrics; video i had a lot of fun making is here: http://youtu.be/N2rvvKnOywg

how very close is your soul with mine i know for sure everything you think goes through my mind i am with you now and doomsday not like a host caring for you at a feast alone with you i am happy all the times the time i offer my life (offering my life to you) i used to be hair (is a profitable venture) or i used to be bones (a profitable venture) "keyboard solo" a handful of earth cries aloud and just the moment when you are all

i used to be hair or i used to be bones (i'm makin ya stay) i used to be hair (as this will be yours) or i used to

how very close ###

this is from a 2011 project called ROOM/y, which was a Rumi concept album. all the lyrics are words from Rumi's poem "In the Arc of Your Mallet" translated by Coleman Barks. i was very bad at recording at the time and recorded vocals on like a karaoke mic i got from my mom. I was also listening to a lot of Todd Rundgren and wanted to write melodic pop songs.

don't go anywhere without me
let nothing happen in the sky apart from me
or on the ground, in this world or that world
without my being in its happening
vision, see nothing that i don't see
language, say nothing.
the way the night knows itself with the moon
be that with me
be the rose nearest to the thorn that i am
i wanna feel myself in you when you taste food
~in the arc of your mallet (when you work)

in the arc of your mallet

whoever wanted to be a still thing 
in the bathtub bleeding out
i lie
tomorrow you'll help me
and if it dies
will you still be around to be

only if you wanna be my baby, yeah

*** I SAMPLED "MATTERS GRAY" BY ENON ON HERE FROM BELIEVO WHICH WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS STRANGELY ENOUGH WHEN I WAS 14

Ringtoner (For your Phone)

canteen of pearls
I'm not the same guy that I was
what an eyesore
that ocean floor, scavenged once more

motion sensor girl
couldn't you see me moving through the dark
to the next room
there goes the spark, your worst remark

canteen of pearls
tried to wear them all out at one time
what are necks for
oceans apart, your broken heart

this is a john stuart mill (john schmersal) song from _forget everything_ (1999)
i'm trying to learn guitar again and have fun with the pedals i've only been using for synth stuff
~4-n-i-w

if you want the original track, email me at gorge.mand@gmail.com and i'll send it to you.

ur not young anymore and it's not a ball

avi + alina

sorry i made this private for soooo long it's public now tho as of 2017

dp unit systems - "ur not young"

gorge mand aka gorgeous man project. all very old songs recorded very badly using a karaoke mic, laptop mic, or ear bud mic. recording more soon and not retiring name yet. usually recorded in my long beach studio apartment or avi’s place. almost all using dx7s or pocket piano or borrowed guitar fucking around w pedals and just built-in garage band stuff.  some of the best stuff here was made w a magic union between rumi words rearranged into song interpretations. 

- alina 2021
