From the annual Hexfarm get together where we fly/drive into a space for  a few days of improvising and laughing. This is from the 2024 sessions. The intro chaos somehow morphed into a piece Saxophonist Phil wrote many moons ago called Legacy(which itself was a massive vehicle for improv anyway). we sat with it for a few minutes : ) Looking forward to the 2025 get together. 
Hexfarm is   Dane Renshaw: Drums, Phil Bywater: Saxophones, Mat Ward: Bass

Hexfarm - (a Sort Of) Legacy

This is the first collaboration with a good music friend and fellow guitarist, Jonathan Beckenstein. JB provided the first layer of live, improvised guitar work which I then cut, stretched and manipulated, finally adding washes of reverb and some guitar of my own to (hopefully) compliment his. I hope you enjoy it. Please check out JB's brilliant work if you haven't already: @jonathan_beckenstein

The Go-Between

All done with VST instruments. Guitar solos played on keyboard with the amazing Quilcom Sim-Guitar.
A synth which does not use samples !

Electronic chants

Na Górczynie jest czas na wszystko
Jest trawa i święty kwas
Są panny, które patrzą w blokowisko
Jak w lustro mrówczych mas
Spędzam całe dni w bibliotece
Gdzie gaszę pety w mielonym kotlecie

I wszystkim jest dobrze
I bębni wieczny haj
Mam siedemnaście lat
I dla mnie to jest raj

Na Górczynie jest wiśniowe wino
Które pędzi dziadek Nostradamus
Są oddechy ponad przestrzeń
Samolotów i kaftanów
Bezpieczeństwa dla umysłów
Telewizyjny Hortex dla kulturystów

I wszystkim jest dobrze
I lato kurczy skwer
Mam siedemnaście lat
I dla mnie to jest fair

Hej, polityku z sondą w przełyku
Przestań badać mnie kłamstwem
Hej, lekarzu, księże, prawniku
Przestań otaczać raj chamstwem
Niedługo zapuścimy tu drzewa
I krzaki Maryśki dla ubogich
Żeby każdy mógł pogłaskać niebo
Pocałować się z muzyką rozdroży

I wszystkim będzie dobrze
Na wiecznym Górczynie
Mam już dość kontroli
W społecznym czynie
I wszystkim będzie halo
Przyświecać bloku lampy
I każdy będzie pisać
Wiersze i kontrasty

In Górczyn there is time for everything
There is grass and holy acid
There are young ladies who look at the housing estate
As in the mirror of the ant masses
I spend whole days in the library
Where I put out cigarettes in ground meat

And everyone is fine
And the eternal high drums
I am seventeen years old
And for me this is paradise

In Górczyn there is cherry wine
Which grandpa Nostradamus brews
There are breaths beyond space
Of planes and straitjackets
Safety for minds
Television Hortex for bodybuilders

And everyone is fine
And summer shrinks the square
I am seventeen years old
And for me this is fair

Hey, politician with a probe in your esophagus
Stop examining me with lies
Hey, doctor, priest, lawyer
Stop surrounding paradise with rudeness
Soon we will grow trees here
And marijuana bushes for the poor
So that everyone can caress the sky
To kiss with the music of the crossroads

And everyone will be fine
In eternal Górczyn
I've had enough of control
In a social act
And everyone will be fine
Light up the block of lamps
And everyone will write
Poems and contrasts

Chapter 224 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.
