halF abrupT [disquiet0550]

written and recorded 2014 by andrew salvner (aka pretzels malone)

the track art is the torn up backside of one of my favorite basement chairs.  my cat verbal (who ain't here no more) would go to town on my basement furniture.  we had a deal, and for his part, he did a good job of leaving our upstairs stuff relatively unharmed.  the chair from the pic is honestly not all that comfy, but i miss my buddy...and when i sit there i like to pretend that he's behind me going to town keeping his shit sharp.

the song has nothing to do with my cat.  i wrote it for a friend.

them words:
you gotta be stronger than your heart.  because he swears to you that he cares for you, but he's tearing you apart.

bonus stuff:  (who hoo...bonus!!)

there is another very different version of this song.  the music is much faster and completely backwards.  and the vocals are completely different.  i made a video if you want to watch :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-tibBKFeNQ

the acoustic guitar and bass lines were recorded on 4-track cassette.  i moved the tracks over individually to my laptop using audacity.  i did a ton of editing.  i then added the vocals and beatbox straight to audacity (using the 4-track as a vocal amp).

the first half of my pretzels page is pure 4-track recordings.  recently most of my recordings are much more like this.  some kind of weird in-breed of cassette and free downloaded multi tracker.

that's all.  i hope you feel bonus'd.  :D

Secret Caves LoveSongs edition: Carrie, Simon, Joe, Caligula Jr

the night tide creatures
want your love
come see about 
the most beautiful girl
on the gallows
she’ll stroke your stitches
it’s never enough
so come ride 
the white lightning 
whip her shape shift
through the narrows

night tide creatures
hold my hand
oh! the chemical preachers
man bold double features
on shifting sand
night tide creatures
let me go
all the spidery teachers
with sickly stained features
spray “on with the show”

and you can 
flash that revolver, come on
and you can swear 
your broke heart
to the river
well she was here last night, yes
now she’s gone
the most beautiful girl
on the gallows
the most beautiful girl
on the gallows

night tide creatures
hold my hand
oh! the chemical preachers
man bold double features
on shifting sand
night tide creatures
let me go
all the spidery teachers
with sickly stained features
spray “on with the show”

and you can flash that revolver
come on

the night tide creatures
want your love
the night tide creatures
oh they want your love
oh they want your love

A quickie

A Quickie (disquiet0321)

With all due respect to Dr. Taruffi, Suss Müsik isn’t entirely convinced that meta-awareness leads to greater happiness. Then again, Suss Müsik has never tested this theory on 216 participants using neuronal magnetic resonance. Suss Müsik has enough trouble changing the battery on a smoke alarm, let alone investigating the effect of delayed gratification on the prefrontal cortex. 

What Suss Müsik does know, however, is that music definitely has some impact on the mind’s natural ability to wander. What might be worth discussion is whether hyper-awareness and emotional balance can be achieved by listening to “happy” sounding music. What sonic attributes make us happy?

This is where accounting for personal taste comes into play. For some, major scales and stick-to-your-ribs melodies evoke feelings of happiness, such as listening to Davy Jones sing “Daydream Believer.” Then there is the drum music of Babatunde Olatunji, which compels players to lock into a single pulse rhythm, generating a deeply hypnotic (some would say euphoric) state of bliss.

Anyway ... for this short piece, Suss Müsik attempted to create a sonic environment to serve both goals of distraction and focus. Phrases were written at 154 BPM and played on fake banjo, xylophone, glockenspiel, toy piano and tambourine. Two baritone saxophone parts were played in real time in a single take, hoping to capture variability in pitch contour. Finally, an EWI with a piccolo voice was played through a Red Panda Tensor pedal to randomize the high-end.

The piece is titled Taruffi. The image is magnified grounds of coffee, Suss Müsik’s preferred method of ratiocination.

Taruffi [Disquiet0321]

The time was passing hopelessly slowly at that time.
I had too much free time on my hands, everyday.

My girlfriend said that you couldn't know the heart of others.
We broke up in a short time. But I got old as it is.

Long afternoon of 1984.
I was despairing of my youth.


I didn't know what I wanted to do at all.
But I had the time a lot. I was always bored.

I thought that the "future" would begin someday.
There was a war in Iraq. I was not interested in it

Long afternoon of 1984.
The future was hopeless.


I was living irresponsibly, so I became an unreliable man.
The future has already begun and I have no memories.

The boring long afternoon is still continuing.
I'm still playing a guitar and thinking about the love.

Long afternoon of 1984.
I was despairing of my youth.

Long afternoon of 1984.
The future was hopeless.

Long afternoon of 1984
