Help Us Break Free

Gray Ivory

xian3 introduced me to Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) a French writer, poet, draughtsman, actor, dramaturge and theatre theorist.
On completion of his track he shared some of the stems so I could create this.
Let's call this an answer-song.
The wonderful flugelhorn is by joerxworx. Check him and xian3 out here.
@xian3 @joerxworx

So a big thank you to xian3. Always a  pleasure!

The following text is the last entry in his final notebook:

so, the same figure
returns every
morning (he is an other)
in order to accomplish his
revolting, criminal
and murderous, sinister
mission which is to
maintain
the state of bewitchment cast upon
me (2)

and continue to
make of me
this eternally
bewitched man
etc etc (2)

"A Sinister Assassin" was published recently. It provides translations of Antonin Artaud's last writings (September 1947 - March 1948) from which these lyrics are taken.

... stoi tam co noc,
stoi i moknie, 
choć wbijam w ciemność wzrok mój
stojąc w ciemnym oknie 

niepokojący blask,
wśród kropel deszczu lśni
nie mogę nadal zasnąć 
bo nie wiem, czy to ty ... 

​czy człowiek w deszczu to ty ?
czy człowiek w deszczu to ja ? 
po co pytam jak wiem ? 
i czemu znika za dnia ...

Whispers

Man in the rain

a track by Marco Lucchi reworked by progettosonoro

progettosonoro & Marco Lucchi -  ὁ γ​ὰ​ρ κ​α​ι​ρ​ὸ​ς ἐ​γ​γ​ύ​ς

method: recording semitone sequences, layering, morphing with pedals while recording,  layering, panning tiny critters, layering, etc. headphones recommended
narration: shallow waters. seaweed. the powers it forces. the powers that force it. since it is hard to hear through the water's surface,the written-out poem can be found below. seaweed has oh some many overlapping voices ..... like the multivocal waves themselves

poem / copyright jo richter:

what hides within me
remains well-hidden
until it awakes
stirs and elopes

from far without me
adaptive swaying
in flow with the current
tentacle tides

deceptively timid
quite unassuming
tumbler of shadows
living on light

protruding from vastness
ancient sea giants
sediment trances
supporting frail roots

seaweed sensibilities

We Have Ways Of Making You Dance - with Entheogenic Psychonaut (Josh Clary) feat. Danke Noetic

This one is kind of an experimental deal.  The main riff has 12 guitars, each with something different about it.  Each of the 12 lines was played on a different guitar.  Some are tuned in octaves to the others, some from a mic'd amp, some from sims etc.. 
I wasn't going for a tight doubled guitar sound like you normally want, I wanted the sound of a dozen guitars sounding like a big loud thing.  
The beat for this comes from one of my friend's son, Zack, who is new to all of this and is just learning his DAW at age 19 and this was written on top of his beat so thanks Zack!
Also big thanks to Stonerjazz for the title and to Rekha for the amazing background vocal in this!
