the two of you are one of my favorite soundcloud combos.

What a great guitar sound you have. Bravo!

You two are a formidable musical team. In perfect sync for incredibly professional and enjoyable songwriting.

Fictive Sisters is a transatlantic collaboration of Wheelwright and Beckenstein. Our album Immaculate Distraction is available at: https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction

There's a message
It says come back right now
And you looked like you'd seen a ghost
People talking
Then they're moving away
And you're questioning everything

Transatlantic
And the earth was shaking
Lost in transit
Lost in mid translation

Oh and the kingdom to come
Will be a kingdom of reason

Did I tell you
All the things we could see
When they held you up to the light
Drink some vodka and then
Walk out the door
You said this is better for everyone

[Chorus]

We like the meaningful songs
They send a meaningful signal

In the Hare Krishna restaurant in Soho
No one recognised you
Coz you didn't look much like the photo

On the inside
I said everyone's lost
And you said yeah but nobody really cares
Run the numbers
And learn to be smart
Now the world is turned upside down

[Chorus]

Lost In Transit  (with Wheelwright)(Fictive Sisters)

hey    I’m doing okay
doing okay
and that’s okay

I’m     finding a way
to stay
today

up all night with the owl
neither fish nor fowl
human of a fashion
senses in possession

oh, you know how time flies
wind dries the rain

so you go    embrace me
release me again

you    your night is yours
sleeping shore (sure)
open door

dreams offer clues
you might choose
up to you

don’t it make you wonder
at the grief we’re under
pull the covers over
one more dark/deep December

oh, you know how life goes
grass grows anew

so you slow    unfold now

day glows for you
day shows for you
day flows for you

TASCAM DR-05

one more deep december

The backing is a layered series of experiments in creating textures, primarily using the Noire piano. Helen then improvised a vocal performance we might describe as a dreamlike stream of ideas and motifs. After some initial hesitancy wondering what it was we were creating, we decided we rather liked the end result and thought we'd share it to the cloud.

Außer Kontrolle

Du bist der Mann, der Mann der alles kann
Du bist der Mann der alles kann – Man(n)

Du weißt genau was immer du tust
hast alles im Griff, doch manchmal auch nicht

Außer Kontrolle, Außer Kontrolle
Außer Kontrolle bist manchmal auch du

Du bist der Mann, der Mann der alles kann
Du bist der Mann der alles kann – Man(n)

Du weißt genau was immer du tust
hast alles im Griff, doch manchmal auch nicht

Außer Kontrolle, Außer Kontrolle
Außer Kontrolle bist manchmal auch du

Du bist der Mann, der Mann der alles kann
Du bist der Mann der alles kann – Man(n)
Du bist der Mann, der Mann der alles kann
Du bist der Mann der alles kann – Man(n)

Außer Kontrolle, Außer Kontrolle
Außer Kontrolle bist manchmal auch du

Du bist der Mann, der alles kann 
Der Mann, der Mann der alles kann

Du bist der Mann, der Mann der alles kann – Man(n)
Du bist der Mann der alles kann – Man(n)

Außer Kontrolle, Außer Kontrolle
Außer Kontrolle bist manchmal auch du

Du bist der Mann der alles kann – Man(n) (repeat)
Außer Kontrolle, Außer Kontrolle (repeat)

Out of Order (easy mix) - 1990s Vintage

This track is classical music that is mysterious and existential. It comes with dramatic grasp.

Jazz variations made after listening to a rap track by Dtrot the Pilot, a vast talent....first time listening...and I mean really listening... to a rap track....specifically....listening to the musical patterns. After immersion in Dtrot the Pilot's track (Whatcha Feelin) for over an hour...this came out. Thank you Dtrot. You inspired me.

Hope You Speak The Same Of Me (Sweet Memories)w/Amy on Flute

Morry recorded this cover recently...he did all the music and vocs - crazy. I've never heard this covered and I really like Morry's take on it, up tempo, guitars etc. ...hope you enjoy it.

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd cover

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, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.
