You stay asleep 
At the wheel
Of your soul
Building your false
Dichotomy 
Of hope
And hatred

When you dig deep
To find your pysche
Left in the light of dawn
You better find 
A new way

Falling backwards
Into a deep a hole
A statement in 
Chaos
Rage dripping 
From your veins
A storm from your
Bullshit
Zen persona

Duplicity
Duplicity

When you dig deep
To find your pysche
Left in the light of dawn
You better find 
A new way

Don’t worship me
Byzantine 
No reason
For this duplicity 
A murdered self
Byzantine 
No reason
For this duplicity 

Fall to me

No reason
For this duplicity 
A murdered self
Byzantine 
No reason
For this duplicity

Complete rewrite of an old track - this is still in draft, hoping posting will give me the mojo to finish it.

Draft - 1000 SUNS

Mostly an ambisonics experiment.. also just got mojo'd to write a sea shanty style song.

Never

Yeah it's been
the hardest season
There's no reason
There' no reason
For the madness
we feel


Jus wanna thaw out my heart
Jus wanna a fresh start

You couldn't see
the damage beneath
because there's no reason
there's no reason
for the madness 
we feel

Jus wanna thaw out my heart
Jus wanna a fresh start

Jus wanna thaw out my heart
Jus wanna a fresh start

Lyrics

A dark instability
defiles
an existential design
cracks in the theatre
of the divine
bleeding shadows
of themselves

Rust in the cycle
Fire on the precipice
Rust in the cycle
Fire on the precipice

It's the gift of
divine sight
bridging us
through the 
consequential
parts of the fallen
their shadows
guide us through
to the light
cut from the theatre
of the divine

Rust in the cycle
Fire on the precipice
Rust in the cycle
Fire on the precipice
Rust in the cycle
Fire on the precipice
Rust in the cycle
Fire on the precipice

Rust in the cycle

Rust In The Cycle

Stranger

Lyrics
A feeling is washing over me
signs of life
in the peripherary 
the shadows take a hold over me
until it's all i can see
it's all i can see

I'm falling out
There's no silence 
even when it's quiet
there is no silence
when it's quiet
there is no reprieve
it's just me
lost inside
the machine

got nothing to do with you
its just my mind
is not at ease
the patterns in the myriad
of delusion
are calling me to you
calling you into my universe

I'm falling out
There's no silence 
even when it's quiet
there is no silence
when it's quiet
there is no reprieve
it's just me
lost inside
the machine

I'm falling out
there is no silence
there is no silence
I'm falling out
there is no silence
even when it's quiet
there is no silence

I'm falling out
There's no silence 
even when it's quiet
there is no silence
I'm falling out
There's no silence 
even when it's quiet
there is no silence

No Silence

Lyrics
Oh they say
that death is on 
my breath

Oh they say
it's from one life
through the next

Sometimes
a maze is not a maze

Sometimes
Lost is being found

oh Sometimes
Home is where you are

and Sometimes
Lost is being found 

Oh they say 
That rest is
coming next

And I say
It's the purest
form of death


Sometimes
a maze is not a maze

Sometimes
Lost is being found

oh Sometimes
Home is where we are

and Sometimes
Lost is being found 

Oh the
the answers lie
They lie within me
Oh Lost is sometimes found

Oh the
the answers lie
They lie within me
Oh Lost is sometimes found

Sometimes
a maze is not a maze
Sometimes
a maze is not a maze
Sometimes
a maze is not a maze
Sometimes
Lost is being found

Oh the
the answers lie
They lie within me
Oh Lost is sometimes found

Oh the
the answers lie
They lie within me
Oh Lost is sometimes found

Sometimes Found

Real Thing

Victory

Lyrics
I’ve waited for a dream 
But nothing is real
I’ve waded through what I’ve seen
And there is nothing for me to feel


Yeah everything that we perceive
Lives in our mind for our shadow to receive 
Nothing is real

Nothing Is Real

A cacophony of sounds influenced by a dream that was hard to discern from reality. Full of weird sounds, orchestral instruments and strange little vst's and kontakt libraries I've picked up over the years. The chorus makes me laugh as it is the beautiful vocal harmony singing these super tacky emo teenager angsty type lyrics.

Lyrics



Once upon a midnights echo
In my fortress of solitude
A symphony
Just for me
The perfect place
To let go
a knocking rhythm 
Came at my door
Familiar faces I'd seen before
To a grand manor 
I was led
A gathering of woven threads

***
Swimming in illusions
Grand and bright
A lavish feast
In the pale moonlight
A journey in a sleepy haze
endlessly traversing 
the shadowy maze
intruders in the shadows
conscience in the gallows
creatures creating
reality bending waves


Reality tends to blend
When you're fucked up in the head
Will this shit ever end

Chop me
Change me
Re-arrange me

Reality tends to blend
When you're fucked up in the head
Will this shit ever end

rEaLiTy

Lyrics 
Hear The Echos
Through the vast expanse
and the whispers of a shooting star
Unseen ties a magnetic pull
from the gravity of a silent heart

If I wasn't
In a moment of truth
I would reach out to you
Just give me one moment of truth
So I can reach out to you

I can't
Reach out to you
No I can't
Reach out to you 
No I can't (Why can't You)
Reach out to you
I can't (Why can't You)
Reach out to you

Oh I can't reach out to you
No I can't reach out to you

In the void
I hear you call to me
From somewhere
So far away
My vision is skewed
and I don't know what to do
Because you're not real
Or so they say

If I wasn't
In a moment of truth
I would reach out to you
Just give me one moment of truth
So I can reach out to you

I can't
Reach out to you
No I can't
Reach out to you 
No I can't (Why can't You)
Reach out to you
I can't (Why can't You)
Reach out to you
No I can't (Why can't You)
Reach out to you
I can't (Why can't You)
Reach out to you
No I can't (Why can't You)
Reach out to you
I can't (Why can't You)
Reach out to you

Can't Reach Out

Just a little punk song with my daughter.

Dance To The Beat (ft Rainbow Girl)

recorded my daughters singing lesson.. then felt creative. This is the weirdness that resulted.

Rocking Around The Christmas Tree ft Rainbow Girl

So I translated a poem of mine into Latin and creativity happened. This supposed to sound 3d as I mixed with ambisonics

Words

Nigra mater vacui serva me,
Devora me tum exspue me,
Si haec obscura mundus non capit me,
Tum devora me et exspue me.
Nigra mater vacui excita me,
Cum materia tua implodeat et effringas,
Nigra mater singularitatis,
Tenebrae sunt unica mea fuga.

mater vacui

Mostly made mangling samples of silly situations from various videos utilising ufo phenomenon for clout

Serenly Surfing The Stars Strapped Into A Surgical Surface

So with this track I mixed it slightly differently to my normal approach. Instead of bussing by instrument type, I bussed by frequency (eg I would send bass to predominantly the low end, but would have some going to low mids/mids/high mids as well - to taste). Something I have been thinking about trying for some time. I'm not in love with the mix at all, but there a certainly qualities that I really like, for one the clarity of instruments seems a lot better. I've heard that this approach can help reduce phase issues - perhaps this is the result. I also found mixing in this approach I didn't need as much eq'ing on individual instruments.

That said there is something about this mix that I don't like. The song isn't good enough for me to spend any more time than I have already, so I guess I will keep playing around. I also hate the bass tone, but I'm not going to go back and re-record it, as per above.

Would really appreciate some critical ears and their thoughts on the mix.

Thanks

A Death in the Gardens of Sand

Lyrics

Time Is lost
Memories gone
In death
There's no cost
When you’re 
Born again
Just to feel
The same way

This life
Repeats
Dead spin
Through the eons
Thespians
Of the dark nights
Tragedy

On and on and on on
We strive 
for the divine
But it we fail
So it’s on and on
We strive for the divine 
But we fail

Thespians

Lyrics

metaphorically 
an illusion
with a shell on
the outside
biologically 
an infusion
of a face and a style

Are you a ghost in the machine
or Are you the shell of the dream
Are you the host of the unseen (host of the unseen)
Or are you living life virtually

What came first
in your conclusion
when you took a look
inside

so what if it's all
a delusion?
are we of both body
and mind

So did you feel that from me
or are you stuck in a silent scream
are you the host of the machine (host of the machine)
or are you living life in simplicity

I can't live on the outside
When I'm born on the inside
And I can't live on the inside
If I'm born on the outside

Are you a ghost in the machine
or are you the shell of the dream

Oh the realms of possiblity
are weighing down on my
The realms of possibility
are weighing down on me

Are you a ghost in the machine
or Are you the shell of the dream
Are you the host of the unseen (host of the unseen)
Or are you living life virtually

I can't live on the outside
When I'm born on the inside
And I can't live on the inside
If I'm born on the outside

1+1=3

ii- Death awaits- 
(L’Appel du vide)

Would you bring it all down? 
Are you paranoid?
For A brief sense of freedom, 
to escape to the void

Hold yourself back 
but can you resist
The call of the dark 
mother kali’s kiss

In one dark moment 

Can you hear it calling your name
Can you hear it calling your name

One dark moment
fighting depravity
But this noise Intrusion 
Is gripping me 

Forbidden feelings 
what if god is in me
then the devil must be 
my externality

In one dark moment 

I can hear it calling my name
I can hear it calling my name
Drawing me closer
Pulling me down

It’s the rush we can’t resist

L'Appel Du Vide

I was born to create music... I think. I've always had music in my head, ever since I can remember. 
I have played in bands since the late 90's as a bass guitarist (though I haven't played a live show since 2015). In the early 2000s I discovered the possibilities of creating music by yourself and it has gripped me ever since.

I've had no formal training in music, sound engineering or anything, just time, patience and practice. I'd say I've written well over a thousand songs in my life. Most of them thrown away, but some make it here and other platforms.

My aim with music is to just write whatever i want to write. If that means experimenting with genres and not doing what's popular, then so be it. I know that this is technically a popularity contest, but whatever. If a handful of people like my tunes, then I'm pretty happy. I've never had any intent to make money from this endeavour - but hey if somehow, somewhere it happens... then I aint gonna say no.

My music charts my philosophical views, my perceptions on how other people see life, words and phrases I've heard while meditating and crazy stuff my brain tells me when my mental health is suffering. In some instances, I try to be relatable but mostly I worry if you relate to my words.

I hope you enjoy my music - and if you do let me know via comment or message. I'm always up for a chat.
