The song is about perseverance through repetitive tasks by escaping deep into the mind's imagination. Back to the grind, I guess. Here is a video accompaniment with some old school animation.

Lyrics
When you were searchin like an Urchin you were movin
On the sea floor
 With the tides you collide while dodging all the mine
Fields close to shore
Missing all the green hoping genes give the means from the fiends
For many more
Times like these you hope for the shoulder 
Of many of us
Pushin up the boulder for days and in ways but it sways
As it must     
But crashing back down to the ground
Like  Sisyphus

Never had the change on the range by the quarter that was drawn
 in early dawn

And you sit curled in your room with  clouded doom
Metamorphosis

Grinding the Stone

My new single ABCZ 500 out on major platforms now!

Until now, my music was almost completely ununderstood except for the SoundCloud community (I am very grateful to you). Why is that? I haven't even been able to face that question. However, this time, with the beginning of 2025, I will also change! I decided. I have to break out of my shell. I have to incorporate trends. That being said, since I did all the work, the music ended up being strange and typical of me. It's a strange piece of music, but I think you'll enjoy it. Go ahead and press the play button.

Lyrics :
I want your lover to give you away
Your eyes blue eyes talk me too much
So long so long time ago
I had desire to forget them
(Go?)

Tell me the number
I hate your lies
When it is rainy
It's time to leave
So much confusion 
Steps to hell
Nobody knows my secret job

A B C D
A B C Ah

Sit down 
Stand up
Fading hearts
There is no choice
Already in
I saw
You found
No mistakes
'Cause you love to rock 'n' roll
(Go?)

Troubles
Silence
There's no truth
When you look back in trash in the cage
I say
You have no possibilities
No
No
No overcome

A B C D
A B C Z
Woo Hoo!!
(Go?)

ABCZ 500

Another genre fused track from classical, hip hop and rock guitar.

WRITING ON THE WALL ft various Artists

The other day we spend time together after quite a long time no see. When you have fun with friends, doesn't it feel like sheeps romping arround? Animals sometimes seem to be quite akin.

Time is a sheep

I heard this one on Carl's profile a few weeks ago now and loved the message and how he was able to express it in song like only he can.  Carl graciously invited me to jump in if I wanted, so I put in some lead guitar trying to match the intensity of his original work.  Turned out great.  Carl is a fantastic artist in so many ways and I was happy to be able to work with him on this.

original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Yeah... Meet a musical bear 🐻

Sounds vain,
Bigging up my own brain.
Blame the world,
This status quo
The fake and fucked up reality show
I can't watch artificial grow
Without musical smells to make it go
Life is art and art is life
Fake the steak for a weak minded right
Go live your FUD
Go live in pain
I'll sing real truth!
Soul gain!
From indie to metal to rock to rhythm and blues and jazz...
Human algorithm

Yeah.. I'm liking this musical bear 🐻 😆

Make a style
Be a new way
Create a world that says new day
Create a world that honours history
Where artists spirits expand our mystery
These spirits are sad with your fovia fake
Art 'aint random when a human make!
So regurgitate your souless take
It all sounds the same this AI bake
So grab an instrument and express real heart beat
(Guitars / Samplers / Keyboards / Saxophones... all music that is expressed whether that's banging rocks or playing a harp)

FUCK AI MUSIC
Ask your soul to prove it
Chuck the lazy loser... you!
You lost!
Now hear those waves where life is not a cost...

Waaah

TITLE: HAPPY HELL-O-WINK
_____________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse1)
Creepin' through the static, shadows flicker on the screen
Pumpkins carved grinnin', but the vibe's obscene
Bats in the attic, moon dipped in kerosene
Black cats crossin', spell out what it means

(Verse 2)
Sticky fingers reachin' for the Reese's gold
But the wrapper's heavy, secrets left untold
Sweet or sinister, the story unfolds
Underneath the mask, the devil’s ice cold

(Chorus)
Happy Hell-O-Wink, blink, you might miss the plot
Tricks or treats, or a scheme that they forgot
Underneath the wrap, candy or a curse
It’s a party in the dark, for better or for worse

(Verse 3)
Hooded figures laughin', echo down the lane
Fog thick as syrup, clogs the candy cane
Lanterns flicker red, illuminate the pain
Skeletons in closets, dancin' in the rain

(Verse 4)
Double-dare the daredevil, twist the door’s knob
Fangs in the nougat, watch the goblins rob
Is it caramel dreams or a venomous blob?
Masked by a Snickers, but it’s doin' the job

(Chorus)
Happy Hell-O-Wink, blink, you might miss the plot
Tricks or treats, or a scheme that they forgot
Underneath the wrap, candy or a curse
It’s a party in the dark, for better or for worse

Sweet Lures & Creepy Cruel Tricksters

Happy Hell-O-Wink

"Shipley’s claustrophobic prose sweats and mutters in an 
ecstatic delirium of isolation, the embodied mind locked 
inside its own system, a synthetic cosmos where perception 
and language mutate into a self-writing, self-destructive 
protocol. Siratori’s “void topology” maps that fever as a 
biospiritual, machinic womb where philosophy, eros, and 
parasitology fuse into recursion. Together, their texts pursue 
compulsive analysis from opposing coordinates, one visceral 
and the other structural, until confession and theory form a 
Möbius strip of nausea and reﬂection, a self-metabolising 
hybrid organism. Inside this sealed inﬁnity, thought 
corrodes into revelation, cognition disperses through a 
techno-mediated wormhole sustained by excess, and the void 
asserts itself as boundless possibility. Dear Void is both 
eruption and contagion, a luminous collapse where thought 
and ﬂesh exchange places, a poetics of decay in which the 
posthuman body persistently rewrites itself against the 
horror of existence and the horizon of sense.” 
- Zoetica Ebb, 
Gary J. Shipley / Kenji Siratori.

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.

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.

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.
