cool & trippy, and I do like the candy, plus y'all got the hyp-est name around :)

We need more candy stores for grown-ups. This is wonderfully surreal. :)

Haha. Just visited the hypnopompetus project. That is a hilariously inventive bio. Is hypno a multi-artist ongoing side project? If this is any example, it's fun stuff. :)

Such a cool strange vibe, love the slow bluesy elements!

Lyrics:
I've made my way around
And I guess I'm here now
Thwarted by my ego
But nothing can make me let go 
Of what I grasp
Is this the last 
Of what I have left to hold onto
And in the past 
I would have laughed
Knowing I had more to go onto 

I know I've said it before but now I feel like there's nothing left to lose
And with everything I've endured I still feel like I have something to prove
And though I'm feeling quite drained I know exactly what I have to do
Don't got an option anymore and there is no excuse
No excuse

I Guess I'm Here Now

The Angels Are All That's Owed (BANJO INSTRUMENTAL)

Having a bit of fun on my take on traditional blues.
Playing guitar, bass and harmonica. Hammond sound and drums played/created with midi keyboard through Studio One daw.

My friends they all say, I’ve got to pay my dues.
I’ll never be no guitar man , till I’ve played the blues
They say rock is fine and it can get you by
But you gotta dig deep inside for those words that make you cry
And then and only then, can you call your self a real blues man.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got me a pen and paper to write down what I’d say
Picked up my guitar and thought I’d play in the key of A
But I just drew a blank, and the words just wouldn’t come.
Maybe the mood just wasn’t right, so had me a shot of rum.
That was a big mistake,  now I can’t even play my guitar.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

I’m thinking maybe, I may of had it easy.
Nothing too troublesome, and nothing to drive me crazy
Life has been pretty good, really can’t complain.
So many have had it bad and can tell you all about the about pain.
Take a look around you and you’ll see you’ve had it pretty good.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got my rhythm down but I have no words to sing
Seems you got to pay the price, for the blues to be your thing
Lose your girl, lose you job and maybe even lose your mind.
Words will start to flow, when you’re down and out you’ll find
And then and only then, you start to sing the blues.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Jaded, Faded
Altogether Blue
You’ve been searching for me
and I’ve been looking for you
Venus and Mars babe
it’s all in the stars
We’re panning for gold
Mining the seams
Gathering the nuggets before 
we get old....

Lyrics:-
We've always been together
Connected from the start
They've kept us in a prison
To keep us all apart

Hope and justice
In a world that's fake
Release perceptions
And we all escape
Look inside yourself 
And feel the shake
Come together
We can all awake

Don't matter where you begin
To expand your consciousness
OOH you'll feel the change
Its dimensional
Higher , Higher

We've always been together
Connected from the start
They've kept us in a prison
To keep us all apart

Hope and justice
In a world that's fake
Release perceptions
And we all escape
Look inside yourself 
And feel the shake
Come together
We can all awake

Transcendental meditation or cumulative life adversities may both lead
to ego death. For example, at the vantage point of crisis when no 
reprieve seems in sight sometimes we feel lost inside an inner universe 
and our senses intermingle, giving us a chance to reach out to an unexpected
reality. Just like the (fake?) lost cosmonaut whose voice can be heard
at the end of this track (sampled from youtu.be/E2EtIKnxB2o), we
then feel that our identity and individuality are about to explode, and
we merge into cosmic energy, be it a temporary or permanent experience. 
The sound of the inner voice informs the body, mind, soul, spirit, both 
the objective and subjective points of perception and we remember that 
inside ourselves there is a microcosm of resource as vast as the cosmos. 
That is to … see (a) sound. A nugget of pure wisdom & guidance.

See A Sound | Teth Sin f. Myrh

The first song Frank and I ever learned and performed together. Done as a gift to my buddy Dave. I can't remember if it was his birthday, or a New Year's present. Late Christmas? Who knows. But this was back before we had a SoundCloud, or a Facebook page, or anything even remotely resembling a DAW. Just us, in a room, with a chirping smoke detector. Hope you enjoy the very first HinTTrack.

The old music chamber

A laboratory with an open bar and floating altar. Come on in! 

Here are various solo and collaborative projects - songs, soundscapes, live looped solo guitar improvisations. 

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.
