Harmonies and mellotron a joy to hear. :)

ALL vocal sounds were synthesized.  All hardware instruments.  This song was inspired by the synthy soundtracks of '70s-'80s horror/sci-fi films.  Special thanks to my good friend, Allan Abrenica, for performing the guitar solos I composed.  Check him out soundcloud.com/lost-ph & https://soundcloud.com/ageara/tracks.  No one was bitten during the making of this song.

💀 ZOMBIES 💀 (inspired by '70s-'80s Horror/Sci-Fi movies 🎬)

The Story of “Arachnid Spackle” (narrative prose) by Len Rice
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The spider stirs as hazy beams of warm sunlight stream through weathered panes making glitter of the dusty air.

Descending from the safety of the lofty web to explore the vast universe of the decaying Victorian home-

It ventures cautiously into the unknown with speed & stealthy stillness endeavoring to evade detection by enemy & prey.

Soon faced with a perilously wide expanse of bare wooden floor speed is its only option.

Nearing the safety of the opposite wall a fiendish cackle announces discovery by the most feared foe:  the old woman.

A frantic frenzy of sadistic stomping & striking with all at hand befalls the spider as it deftly dodges each blow on its way to the wall.

Halfway up with speed failing to elude the assailant it resorts to stillness as a rolled newspaper finds its target.

With a stifled scream the spider becomes a permanent part of the crumbling plaster wall.

 ~ 

Roused by their mother’s death cry her offspring begin to emerge from scores of spherical silken eggs to seek & avenge her fate.

Nourished by rage they grow overnight to gargantuan proportions instinctively forming bushido battalions at first light.

The sound of marching shifts her slumber from dream to drowsiness until daylight’s horrific horde makes wide her eyes.

In slippers, robe, & disbelief her retreat from revenge is soon blocked by back to wall.

Their steady advance becomes a focused fury of web spinning entombment.

With a suffocated scream the old woman becomes a permanent part of the crumbling plaster wall.

Wasting your time

waiting for the light of day to chase the dark away and push the pain aside
I can't help but turn away from the headlines of the day. hope is taken with the tide

I feel like I'm falling

searching for the words to say to take the hurt away and push the fear aside
I can't help but feel betrayed, our humanity's decayed. trust is taken for a ride

I feel like I'm falling

falling down

restlessness, waiting for the light of day
emptiness, searching for the words to say
helplessness, I can't help but turn away
hopelessness, and I can't help but feel betrayed

I feel like I'm falling, the situation's calling for a change

falling down

Falling Down

I discovered an intriguing string octet piece by Bartosz Kozłowski: https://soundcloud.com/bkozlowski/vicious-circle.  Drawn in by its complexity I began hearing ideas for additional parts. I commented, he replied, then shared the wav & encouraged me to follow my vision! Thanks, Bartek! :-D
