Consider that this song is ten iterations of a pattern, representing the hands of the laborer as well as ten-based systems of measurement.

Lyrics
--------------------------
I cut the tree and I hammer the nail
I fetch the water and I carry the pail
Harvest the wheat, and I bundle the bale

Fasten the saddle, the bridle and bit
I shoe the horses and I shovel their shit
I dig forever in the bottomless pit

I'm turning wrenches and I'm fueling the jet
My brow is furrowed and it's blistered with sweat
I'm on a boat with a hook and a net

I'm in the engine room, I'm driving the train
I'm climbing poles in the wind and the rain
I load containers from a towering crane

Repair the derricks for the men who get paid
I'm tugging triples up a slippery grade
I built the factory where the factories are made

I'm in the kitchen now preparing your meal
With hogs to slaughter and potatoes to peel
I hone the blade and I sharpen the steel

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Rock and Roll Kills

It Won't Take Forever

First song I am posting in 2024!

This is what I wrote in 2013 when I first thought about posting Nothing But (The Sound) but decided to take it down from the cloud short after. 

"Nothing But (The Sound)" is Plastic Inevitable's first song since 2011! Plastic Inevitable is Marty Procaccio, AKA Blankets, working the sound and Sneekie San Salvador tweaking the sound. The recording for this song began in 2011 in the bedroom recording studio of Marty in Santa Clara California using GarageBand and a whole bunch of pedals. The song was completed in 2013 with vocals recorded in Sneekie San Salvador's mobile Toyota recording unit.

Now it is 11 years later...

I am amazed that I found the vocal stems. I had to look though an old hard drive to find them. I did not feel like digging through more old hard drives for the original track stems. Big thanks to Russell for taking the time to mix the vocals and master the track. I told Russell, when I mixed the original instrumental I was listening to a lot of shitgaze bands at the time. 

May you find many gems when you dig into your past.

Lyrics: 

Chorus:
Sitting in my car
Windows rolled down
Feet out the window
Nothing but the sound
Of my favorite song

Capture me a distraction
And season it with your bliss
To steal my dissatisfaction 
And feed my mind but a moment
Of happiness 

Chorus

Capture me a distraction
And season it with your bliss
To steal my dissatisfaction 
And feed my mind but a moment

Chorus  

In this moment
There is an infinite 
Amount of things
Happening
In this moment
I have loved you
Infinitely 
Again and again
In this moment 
I am yours
Forever with me
My forever friend
In this moment 
I sing with you
Every song 
That was ever made

Nothing But (The Sound)

Blankets and the Couch King with Russ Sinfield - Nothing But (The Sound)

At the time of the birth of jazz, the role of the guitar was primarily as a rhythm instrument. I enjoyed this recording while remembering the lives of the great guitar players of the time, wondering what it would be like if we translated that atmosphere into a modern style. I am extremely grateful to Vocalatti and Mark Dorricot for agreeing to release this collaboration.

This time, I focused on playing the rhythm guitar, which is modest but has a strong presence.This recording does not include my solo guitar parts.

I am honored to be able to release this collaboration here. Please enjoy Vocalatti's wonderful vocals and Mark Dorricott's excellent performance.

===============================================
The chord you are sensing while listening to this recording is probably Dm7/G/. That's certainly how I play my rhythm guitar this time. However, I believe that this wonderful work was clearly written for those seeking an introduction to the blues.So, while listening to this recording, let's play the chord progression shown here = D7/G7/ along with the song. A three-finger arpeggio would also work. I think that alone will make you feel a little strange. That's exactly the entrance to the blues. The more perfect this basic recording is, the more we want to play it on the D7/G7/. I would like each of you to listen to this recording thoroughly and experience the joy of playing the D7/G7/ together.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the many people who have supported this track. And as I previously mentioned here, I recorded a guitar accompaniment for this song using the "D7 and G7" chords listed below. The track will be made private and only the link will be introduced below. Please click and play. I would be happy if it was useful for those of you who are practicing guitar.

The D7 and G7 positions I recommend are in the link below.
 I would like you to listen to this track and get an idea of the sound of the "D7 and G7" chords added to the original sound source. Also, learn how to trace the scale when using the "D7 and G7" chords.
First of all, "D7" = "D", so in the Western musical scale, Bm/D pentatonic comes to mind as a scale that can be used there. .
And one more thing: using "D7" directly leads to the use of the blues scale. When the chord is "D7", it is natural to try playing Dm/F pentatonic.
Please play it and check the above.

Vocalatti--- Candlelights - Mark Dorricott ft.JUNZO on electric guitar

in a garden
she is gazing
at an apple

she is naked
doesn’t realize
and she wonders

in the sun
asking:

“Listen honey,
would you like some
just between us?”

perilous
picnic

she don’t worry 
she can take the heat
Mother Courage
ends up in the street

east of eden
she is toiling
for her children

fearless love
wisdom
mama’s love
wisdom

fearless love
wisdom
mama’s love
wisdom

"Luminance" - A Glimpse of Radiant Transformation

"Luminance" stands out as a beacon of light within the album "The Change."  Captures the essence of ascending to a higher state of consciousness, where you not only radiate positivity but also attract it from the universe.

Gentle  shimmering pads create a sense of spaciousness, like sunlight filtering through leaves.
A slow, steady pulsed melody emerges, grounding the luminating soundscape.
Uplifting and serene, with a hint of radiant energy.

Inviting and expansive, encouraging the listener to share in the positive vibes.

Hopeful and optimistic, conveying the power of personal transformation.

"Luminance" serves as a sonic sanctuary on my album's journey. It's a place of reflection, growth, and ultimately, the joy of emanating and attracting positivity.



7. The Change - Luminance- Valentino

M'Z est un projet redevenu solo en un éclair...

Je vais essayer de le faire jouer au maximum et dans la rue également !!

Ici c'est le morceau ASTRAL ZÜZ extrait de l'EP "Cool is watching you" performé à la Barraque (09)

Astral ZUZ

Tes doigts sont devenus baguettes et cette boulimie t'inonde, 
À ces attraits de la braguette, c'est tout l'esprit qui y succombe. 
Ces charmes tactiles t'obsèdent, tu as mis l'amoureux en tombe. 
Ces sceaux de désirs, tu y cèdes, le mage noir annihile l'onde. 

Tu consommeras le sexe, l'amour est la fable du faible. 
Utile de le mettre à l'index, de ces souris, préfère l'aigle. 
Tu renieras ton amour-propre, pour un autre, bien diminué,
Féminin recevra l'opprobre, seule la tour sera sanctifiée ! 

On ne vante plus que les desserts, dans l'univers consumériste, 
Le sucre a séduit nos artères, le nous devint antagoniste. 
La pub plantait jadis des graines, dans un terreau théologiste 
Et aujourd'hui, l'amour en peine, renie ces fables terroristes. 

C'est Propagande qui désire, que tu désires plus que tu aimes, 
Qu'importe si l'autre respire, l'empire convoque violence et haine. 
On enfouira toutes tes fautes, pourvu qu'aux temples, tu implores, 
Le doux pardon de tes apôtres, oublie ton vide, ouvre tes pores ! 

- La beauté exige patience, comment peux-tu, sans trop rêver, 
Prétendre incarner une science, sans endurance pour t'y guider ? 
L'hormone liée à l'assurance, édifient nos fables modernes, 
Et ces communes acceptances, dresseront nos passions en bernes. 

Tu commandes à emporter, des nourritures, qui pour ta flore, 
Ne feront, que plus abîmer, tes intestins, qu'elles déshonorent. 
Il existe bien des magies, qui font vibrer les cœurs encore, 
Mais seul, cet index étourdi, ne saurait retirer leurs mors. 

Il est bien sûr préférable, d'aimer plus que de consommer. 
J'invite Passions à ma table, mieux que désir, enfant gâté. 
Si je vibre, c'est avec l'autre, on y découvre l'espace et le temps. 
Prétendument libres spationautes, élongeant la valeur Instant. 

Tes doigts ne seront plus baguettes, pourvu que les passions t'inondent, 
Et vers ces gravités secrètes, c'est tout l'esprit qui naît au monde. 
Ces charmes tactiles te débectent, tu as sorti l'amoureux des tombes, 
Ces sceaux de désirs, tu les jettes, la vraie magie chérie mieux l'onde.
----------------------------------------
En attendant de mettre à mal le fascisme ambiant,
Amicalement,
M'Z

Cool is watching you

A New Dawn (in a Strange Land)

Always enjoy the opportunity to collaborate with Jeff and Jo.  They are wizards with words and sorcerers with sound. Was happy to contribute a bit to this one.


lyrics copyright jo richter:

still wearing his headphones
in the mall's thermal flow
uranium bones
intercourse afterglow

she walks down the aisle
as light as a rainbow
sunlight on the Nile
et in arcadia ego

a bodice, a comb, eris' pear
black, red, white as snow
forces align, forces shear
a million mirrors in a row

she walks down the aisle
as light as a rainbow
sunlight on the Nile
et in arcadia ego

et in arcadia ego - featuring Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches and Stonerjazz

un traitement lofi pour ce nouveau morceau, entre ambient et trip hop

Latest Updates: 
Headphones are recommended on my work to allow the full effect. 
Over 1800 Tracks now on my channel, making music on here since 2015.
Have been remastering some of my 'unloved' tracks from the past here on SC - music which has not received as many plays as I would have expected. Maybe 2nd time around your might like it.
The 2025 remastered tracks are being readied for my best of 2025 album in 2026, available January 2026.
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.
All my albums in full quality are available on Bandcamp, please check out the link below.
Have recently taken a short holiday to recharge my batteries and top up my creative juices. Thank you to all my followers for your continued support and encouragement, means the world to me.
Over 10K minutes uploaded, over 1500 tracks - am sure there is something in there for everybody to enjoy. I love making music. Hope it matters to you.
Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic. 
Thank you for all your kind comments and support throughout 2024 I do appreciate it. Stay safe and love each other.
All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set. (Now available on Bandcamp). 2020 consists of a 3 volume set (now available on Bandcamp).
If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
