on the edge it seems to feel new - but it is more like timeless - stoneage here, see?

Si plaisant et intéressant à écouter...

gorgeous sax! excellent poetry, great question: On the Edge of new?

Very intriguing piece with a unique style

brilliant collective improvisation ... seems homo sapiens can decide, some at least :-)

Magnifique alchimie musicale, belle symbiose avec le texte, bravo pour cette œuvre collective !!

A poem that raises this question: has Homo Sapiens really evolved? and what does this astonishing improvisational music raise? Excellent !!! ❤️🕊️ 🙏

BORDERLINE - 2702

The Singer Pilot and his Water-plane Adventure

Originally recorded in 2011 for a promo compilation CD (those were still in use, albeit declining)

Uploaded on request.

Art - vocals
Ed - guitars
Tom (me) - bass
Winric - drums

We were at the height of our career with regular gigs (well, every other month or so, but they were tons of fun) - the track art is AI generated but really bears semblance to our singer at the time!

The singer and I later played together in Playground, later Mistaken Saints, later Laybow, until he moved to start a family in some backward place called Almere (whoever the F ever wants to live there is beyond anyone's guess)

Oh, I do get to take credit for writing the MUSIC to the song and most of the UMF songs all in all. Of course the creativity of the other members cannot be understated, either. We were a band, a true one.

It ended in 2012 after a falling out between Ed and Winric over the future of the band.

Dirt

Legacy track. Took me a while to find this one, I was looking specifically for it to give it some modern treatment.

I also tried to transcribe the lyrics, but I couldn't figure all of them out, so for now I will not post the lyrics. Maybe later.

Really That Divine

Swallow / Introduction

My submission for the December 2022 Sim Selection monthly challenge of Benn Jordan's discord community.

Theme: A Crack In Time
Keywords: guarded, helpless
Optional Challenge: Time is of the essence. Time is an illusion. Time is money. Time flies.

My compositional idea was to represent multiple time references, all moving forward at their own rate. Inspiration from a Stravinsky score, as well as other modern composers.

Poem :          On the Edge of New?

Homo Sapiens Sapiens , The wise man
creating a mono-culture , he thinks he can , he can do all he can
his freedom to do great as well as stupid acts
learned to enjoy his expression in play and sex
not always in charge using his consciousness ,
sometimes confussion and his own interest
but nevertheless he created our global reality
and as far as we can see
the question ; does this make us free
is more than ever a reality
Homo Sapiens Sapiens needs to consider and reconsider
how to live in a freemaking society
free from inside out
conscious towards egality and simplicity 

On the Edge of New?

On the Edge of New ? /Guy-Frank Pellerin & Erlidje Finünrak &Henry Koek

Beside improvising and meeting the moment ,I bring my poetry in a sferic  of sound , interaction of fibration , using a variety of instruments .
