Very unique track, creative composition and a compelling story. Well done Janine (and Russ)! Durge

What a lovely journey through poetry and sound!!!

This song speaks my language. Fantastic journey!

It's why I still click on SoundCloud sometimes. A beauty Janine.

I recently renovated this one. An instrumental, with moments where you can tap along, and slower reflective moments. It signifies the ebb and flow of a workday. So I named it Working Day!

Working Day

Impulses across a synapse, stars across a galaxy, love from me to you

Songs from a satellite 
Circling the green and blue
And floating down all over you
Stars from a galaxy a forehead wide              
Rocketing from ear to ear
And shooting out of both our eyes

Kids are gonna study us baby for a thousand years to come

The glow of a distant star 
Shining on a distant life
And writing all about us
The quill of a distant pen
An etching of a single life
Took a millennia to write

Kids are gonna study us baby for a thousand years to come

The big swirl of dust and the capillaries
The wedding bells and the flower petals
As the bathwater drains to a tidal eddy
From the tips of the branches counting back to infinity 
The big swirl of dust, and the
Songs from a satellite orbiting the green and blue

Come in? 
Roy G. Biv, paging Roy G. Biv to the galaxy
Roy G. Biv, is there a Roy G. Biv here?
Roy?

Blue on a frequency beyond the light, invisible to human eyes
Is lapping all around us
And we, tethered to the perigee, effectively are bound to be
In love with the world

And the world is so in love with us baby!
The kids are gonna study us baby!
They’re gonna study us

Quiétude:

Quiétude qui es-tu ?
Quiétude de qui es-tu épris ?
Quiétude qui étudies-tu ?
Quiétude que dis tu ?
Quiétude qui te tue dis ?.. le mépris ?

--------
Quietness 
Quietness who are you?
Quietness Who are you in love with?
Quietness  Whom do you study?
Quietness what is it that you say?
Quietness Who is it that kills you ?... contempt ?

Quiétude

(Free WAV Download available here under '••• More'; and eventually, as part of a future solo album)

Latin, literally ‘not having control of one's mind’.

If there was ever a time in my life when I questioned the sanity of the world, this would be it. So many things are not working; and so many people in power seem to want to keep it that way. How does one maintain hope (and provide others hopeful ideas), when the daily news tells such a different story? At what point do the hopeful messages just feel out of touch, rather than helpful?

Bo Burnham’s comedy special ‘Inside’ (on Netflix, but you can find several skits on YouTube as well) should be recommended viewing for all human beings right now. It’s a brilliantly insightful and snarky view of the world we live in, and a candid peek into his struggles facing that world. Half charming, half alarming… he is unapologetic and razor sharp in how he interprets the modern age. Here’s a line from one of the opening songs that really hit home for me:

"The more I look, the more I see nothing to joke about. Is comedy over? Should I leave you alone? Cause really who's gonna go for joking at a time like this? Should I be joking at a time like this? I wanna help to leave this world better than I found it. And I fear that comedy won't help, and the fear is not unfounded."

This so accurately summarizes how I feel right now. Is what I’m doing helping? Or does (you pick the hot topic driving you nuts at the moment) seem so out of control, that I seem out of touch with reality… trumpeting loving and hopeful messages in the face of the chaos? 

In the end, I feel there are only two paths available to us at any given time; activity and inactivity. I don’t know that the specific activity matters as much as the drive and purpose behind that activity. I suspect the point is simply to do anything positive that tells the universe where your heart and intent are focused. The alternative… inactivity probably looks a lot like freezing in your tracks, getting lost in fear (or anger, which I consider a sub-category of fear)… and refusing to (or feeling like you can’t) move forward. It’s pretty easy to imagine how that energy won’t be helping anyone… especially you.

So maybe it’s as simple as just doing something that seems meaningful to you. Maybe that means protesting. Or donating to causes that align with your values. It might be conserving water, limiting waste, and recycling. Perhaps it’s providing your services and skills to someone in need; or simply smiling at someone as you pass them on the street. And it can also take the form of artistic and creative expression; a valuable offering for people in need of evocative images, sounds and ideas. All of these things hold power. And all are important in my mind. So rather than questioning whether we’re doing the right things, or enough of the right things… maybe we just need to follow our hearts (not our minds), and see where that leads us. Our hearts already seem to know us better than we know ourselves anyway. Let’s try trusting that little fellow, and see where it takes us.

I hope you enjoy my latest sonic adventure, ‘Non Compos Mentis’. :)

WTF! The Musical

Non Compos Mentis

Uprising in Blue

Wild avian goings-on at the spooky house on the corner.....

Flock Horror

A song that touches on the realm of mental health and how we need to help break down the defence of such a powerful illness. It’s not a box to tick or a problem to solve its far more complicated than that. 
If theirs someone we love or just someone we know or even a complete stranger just shine a little light into there corner. This will let them now they are not alone and we are here to talk and help. 
The song as been recorded with live instruments remotely and me and Sarge  we would like to thank the musicians who got involved.
Sarge as produced, played several instrumentals and liaised with the other musicians to make this happen. Enjoy

Hey friends! The crew that brought you 'Land of Zed' is back to launch a new collaborative concept album adventure! After wrapping our last project, Uziel, Stonerjazz and I dubbed ourselves 'The Smoking Trout'. The 3 of us are just the founding members of this group. Like last time we plan to bring in lots of guest appearances.

This first track is an instrumental. There will be more world building and myth making on subsequent episodes... The Quest for the Holy Dumpling follows a traveling band of characters, some new and some that have already made appearances in other songs. For example Sally and Roberta are the 2 clarinet players that make a cameo in the final Zed song, Amanita Musaria. This track is their cosmic call to action to open the new album. Thanks for checking it out!

Uziel @user-455619833 contributed much of the instrumentation on the second half, including the 'clarinet' lead, the guitar sounding elements, and the percussion that kicks in during the final leg of the song... and also gets lots of credit for developing the mix.

Stonerjazz @user-911083679 contributed the trippy mellotron lead and other experimental melodic elements that you hear during the first half of the track.

I contributed the drums and synth elements that persist across both halves of the song, and finalized the mix.

Sally & Roberta's Cosmic Call (Smoking Trout: QUEST for the HOLY DUMPLING #1) w/ Uziel, Stonerjazz

Here’s my newest song! Full of piano, strings, clarinet, bass, drums, synth and vocals. Thank you to my lovely Sander for this gorgeous master. @wane-of-summer for his awesome tracks. 😊🎶❤️❤️❤️🎧🎵🎼

Join Ashputtel in her magical journey of sorting tasks with a modern twist! In "Ashputtel's Sorting Task," inspired by the timeless fairy tale, we blend classic storytelling with a clever algorithmic solution. With music by Liam Bear Brown and lyrics by Nik Bear Brown, this enchanting track takes you through Ashputtel's challenges and triumphs. Listen as she calls upon woodland friends and uses her ingenuity to conquer even the toughest chores. Perfect for fans of fairy tales, clever problem-solving, and beautiful melodies.

Ashputtel's Sorting Task

[Verse]
In a land of soot and sorrow,
Lived a girl, dreams of tomorrow.
Ashputtel, her name so sweet,
Worked so hard, she'd never cheat.

One day came a daunting chore,
A pile of lentils on the floor.
Mixed with ashes, dark and gray,
Sort them all, she heard them say.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ashputtel, don't you fret,
There's a way to sort them yet.
With patience, work, and magic too,
You'll find the path to make it through.

[Verse]
She called upon her woodland friends,
Birds and creatures, help she sends.
But to make the sorting quick and right,
She thought of something sharp and bright.

Merge sort, she recalled with glee,
An algorithm smart as can be.
Divide and conquer, that's the key,
To separate them easily.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ashputtel, don't you fret,
There's a way to sort them yet.
With patience, work, and magic too,
You'll find the path to make it through.

[Verse]
She split the pile into two,
Sorted each, the way she knew.
Merged them back, so neat and clean,
No more ashes could be seen.

Her stepmother saw, with eyes so wide,
Ashputtel’s work, she couldn’t deride.
For in the hearth, a lesson learned,
With cleverness, success is earned.

[Verse]
She called upon her woodland friends,
Birds and creatures, help she sends.
But to make the sorting quick and right,
She thought of something sharp and bright.

Merge sort, she recalled with glee,
An algorithm smart as can be.
Divide and conquer, that's the key,
To separate them easily.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ashputtel, don't you fret,
There's a way to sort them yet.
With patience, work, and magic too,
You'll find the path to make it through.

[Verse]
She split the pile into two,
Sorted each, the way she knew.
Merged them back, so neat and clean,
No more ashes could be seen.

Her stepmother saw, with eyes so wide,
Ashputtel’s work, she couldn’t deride.
For in the hearth, a lesson learned,
With cleverness, success is earned.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ashputtel, don't you fret,
There's a way to sort them yet.
With patience, work, and magic too,
You'll find the path to make it through.

[Verse]
Now Ashputtel, with head held high,
Faced her tasks, and reached the sky.
With each new challenge, she would see,
A way to solve it cleverly.

So if you find a daunting chore,
Remember Ashputtel and her lore.
With a bit of thought and heart,
You can conquer any part.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ashputtel, don't you fret,
There's a way to sort them yet.
With patience, work, and magic too,
You'll find the path to make it through.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ashputtel, don't you fret,
There's a way to sort them yet.
With patience, work, and magic too,
You'll find the path to make it through.
