A very excellent complex arrangement.  Lots of emotion and tension in this one.  I have missed hearing from the duo.  It feels like the last installment was a while back!  Bravo

This piece felt more full and complete. It had a structure that I enjoyed, too.

From the album "Cairn" (2024)
Featuring Pete Toigo on bass.

Ship on the Horizon

Inka binka ball of 
Ink is in the water 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Cause here on the island 
It’s cold and it’s violent 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

The children they say it 
In their rhyme games they play it 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Mother nature’s got the ocean 
Put on your boots you’ve got the notion 
To splash in the rain 
I know you want to
Jump in every puddle of water

Tsunami is brewing 
It could be our ruin 
Don’t let it sink that ship on the horizon 
Look up in the sky now 
Children learn to fly now 
You can up and fly right off this island 
Inka binka ball of ink is in the water 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Mother nature’s got the ocean 
Put on your boots you’ve got the notion 
To splash in the rain 
I know you want to
Jump in every puddle of water

Inka binka ball of ink is in the water 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

LYRICS:

Hello Brother
How’s muh boy these days
Over there in them East hills
A thousand miles away
Still like your job
Steer-wrestlin money
For that Rhinestone city
In middle Tennessee
When ya bringin that sweet lil Southern girl out to Colorado
Not much has changed since movin out West
Aint my first rodeo

I STILL GOT MOUNTAINS
BACK-ROADS AND TRAILS
I PUT MY FEET IN THE CREEK AND THROW A LINE
HOP ON AN OLD PIONEER RAIL
AND I GOT PEACE LIKE THE RIVER
RUNNIN THROUGH THIS COWBOY TOWN
CAMPER SITTIN IN THE BACK YARD
TO GO TRUCKIN AROUND

Hello Sis
So good to see you smile
Been travelin these East hills
Mile after beautiful mile
Nashville’s great
Great job, great girl I love
But every chance we gotta get away
From the push and shove
Head over to Gatlinburg or to Fall Creek Falls
Drive Blue Ridge Parkway
Young as we are we’ll never see it all

CUZ I GOT MOUNTAINS
BACK-ROADS AND TRAILS
I PUT MY FEET IN THE CREEK AND THROW A LINE
HOP ON AN OLD PIONEER RAIL
AND I GOT PEACE LIKE THE RIVER
RUNNIN THROUGH THIS COWBOY TOWN
CAMPER SITTIN IN THE BACK YARD
TO GO TRUCKIN AROUND

From the Smokies to the Rockies
Blue to Purple majesty
Your valley or mine, hitch on up
It all feels like home to me

WE GOT MOUNTAINS
BACK-ROADS AND TRAILS
WE CAN PUT OUR FEET IN THE CREEK AND THROW A LINE
HOP ON AN OLD PIONEER RAIL
WE GOT PEACE LIKE THE RIVER
RUNNIN THROUGH OUR COWBOY TOWNS
CAMPER SITTIN IN THE BACK YARD
TO GO TRUCKIN AROUND

I'LL SEE YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN
JUST KEEP ON TRUCKIN AROUND

WE GOT MOUNTAINS

File Updated: Added What I be (Michael Franti) section and It's a Fine Day (Opus 3) section. Emphasised the Carly Simon and NIN samples too better. One clear vocal line starting to emerge now


An important note:
This could obviously be considered suggestive.
I am strongly against the intense sexualisation we see in society. However I find it annoying that you need to tip toe around that when coming at it from from an honest non suggestive point of view like I am. Limiting art for the wrong reasons is not evolution and limits the thinking of younger people...

Taking that power back! My only intention in this song is to project and maybe even protect the funk! So I stand by it and I don't mean to offend anyone. Cancel culture only gets fixed when we have proper conversations about hard topics and suggestiveness can be both positively and negatively poignant for us I suppose...

If after reading this your still offended... Have another listen... Your life needs more funk imo... 

I have two daughters and one son. 9, 4 & 6.. Rising above the bullshit vein sexualisation of humanity will be their ticket and I'll help them flap those wings with songs like this. What does it achieve..? Enjoying words and ideas for what they are in the real world...  I'm hoping I'm transcending sexualisation with my intention and they'll be taught that when the time is right. What other adults make of this is none of my business...

If you read the words there is my non sexual intention in every single idea...

This is a very important thing society needs to learn for me. More widespread critical thinking. This train of thought reminds me of the Columbine shooting where so many young souls lost their lives needlessly. Most powerful circles blamed Marylyn Manson and other perceived brands of fear. Lyrically, when you read him, this couldn't be further from the truth .. Power circles with bias motives will always blame whoever they can creating cancel culture. We don't have to eat at their table though


Songs to consider for this:
-Cant touch this - MC Hammer
-Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice
-Michael Franti ~ What I be
-Its a fine Day ~ Olive
-Blackbird ~ Song without Words (pitch shifted)
-Ocean between the Waves - The War on Drugs


Mashup of my collaboration with Oj22, Summer Ball / No, You Don't by NIN & You're so Vain by Carly Simon. Kudos to Super Acid Sunshine for that idea! This was in his mind for our project, The Sith and thats why i thought of it today ~ Will fix the prominence of the other two ideas just need to let it simmer for a bit and will bring them to the foreground nicely...
need to record the 'you're so vain' bit better and then should find one lead vocal to knit it all throughout... Very happy with this result so far



Adjust below funk me's to mention all the artists that end up in it and give them a relevant rhyme and shout out

Provocative because sexualistion is a problem for humanity! But for Carl and the family... It's deep thought 

Funk me

Mysterious Minds

Hello, friends. 

 Welcome back to our music chamber.
We have a new track for you. ‘Nocturnalis’.
It was improvised freely by David Nelson and I and 
recorded on Jan 21, 2025 in Mamaroneck NY.

  A week later my computer crashed and all this data was lost and eventually recovered (whew!-thanks to the glorious and gifted geeks of BestBuy’s Geek Squad) . There was a lot of nail-biting in February, and I completed the editing in early March. 

 Today’s release is timed to coincide with a commemoration of Bela Bartok’s 144th birthday. Ever since my music teacher Irwin Stahl introduced me to Bartok, this music has been commanding prime real estate in my ear.
The current track is not by Bartok, per se, but his influence is in my blood, having steeped myself in the study and adulation of his entire oeuvre since 1977. If you are not familiar with his works, here are a few timeless gems;

Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste
Concerto for Orchestra
Contrasts for Clarinet, Violin, and Piano
Piano Concerto #3
The Miraculous Mandarin
Dance Suite
Suite for 2 Pianos
 
 These are just tips of the iceberg. Check them out.
I hope you find them worth renting space in your head, too.

 So, here is the opening track, ‘Nocturnalis’ from Duo Treason’s 11th album, “Soon to be Titled”. You may or may not detect Bartok’s influence, it’s subtle. It lurks in the shadows.
David plays a Steinway grand piano, model O, and I play a Silent Yamaha Classical guitar.

DT11.1 Nocturnalis

Back with Observers rule the Sun. I'll zip it for this one The Song can do the spouting and I'll just observe... haha mostly.. Decided to go with 3 acoustic arrangement, live mic for each on a seperate run and just sang while doing them so it's vox/acoustic x 3

Human time again. I think I'll make a rule for this song.... never play it with exact time. Only what comes out. Ruling that time. Ruling that sun. Love and Light to everyone 🔆

Lyrics

'Seed to simplify
Need to sense sight
Food for prescience
Moods from heavens
Beeds had roses in flames
Deeds from men insane
Creeds of confusion reigned
Cede it to never again

Feed my control
Knead self and soul
Knurl your metal mind
Unfurl your very kind
Know one inner you
Go control no two
This onness can become
When observers rule the sun

So on this Earth, We give birth
We found our worth
So on this Earth, We give birth
We found our worth

Read, to simplify
Sieze your sense of sight
In clues for prescience
Foods from heavens
Seeds have roses with names
Beeds from humans sane
Creed dissillusion saved
Ceded to never again

Feed my control
Knead self and soul
Knurl your metal mind
Unfurl your very kind
Know one inner you
Go control no two
This onness can become
When observers rule the sun

One cannot stare naked eye
In heart, cry explain cry
I'm told our sun enrols
All backbone of our soul
Some change or well be gone
Observers cannot be wrong



Knead: Work together with your hands. Mix

Knurl: Imprint a pattern on metal for a grip etc. So I mean a grip on your mind

Observers rule the Sun

TITLE:  PLAYED FOR A FOOL
_______________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
He rolled into town with a sly, crooked grin,
A charm so smooth, it could cover his sins.
He whispered sweet nothings under the moon,
But every word he spoke was a loaded tune.
(Verse 2)
She gave him her heart, like a trusting child,
Believed in his stories, his ways so wild.
He promised her sunsets, forever, and more,
But left her crying on that old porch floor.
(Chorus)
Oh, he played her for a fool, like a pawn in his game,
Left her in the shadows, drowning in shame.
He took all her love, then broke every rule,
Oh, he’s just a man who played her for a fool.
(Verse 3)
She stitched up her heart, though the scars run deep,
Learned that some promises are too hard to keep.
Now she stands taller, won’t fall for the lies,
The man’s just a shadow she left behind.
(Bridge)
But in the quiet of night, when the wind starts to hum,
She remembers the tune of the man she succumbed.
Her tears have dried, but the lesson’s still clear,
She’ll never again let a liar draw near.
(Chorus)
Oh, he played her for a fool, like a pawn in his game,
Left her in the shadows, drowning in shame.
He took all her love, then broke every rule,
Oh, he’s just a man who played her for a fool.
(Chorus)
Oh, he played her for a fool, like a pawn in his game,
Left her in the shadows, drowning in shame.
He took all her love, then broke every rule,
Oh, he’s just a man who played her for a fool.
