Description: The stuff you listened to as a kid never really goes away, it just gets all jumbled up.

that guitar note on the 3 'and' here makes me stick my head out like a chicken..beware the axe!

Pretty cool track, like the drum machine pattern.  Guitar playings stellar.

Very catchy! Great guitar work! Fantastic mix!

Oh. I reposted this one before. Still like it very much.

THE METAPLASTIC NATURE OF HAPPINESS

Earth

Seen Through

I usually don't sit on unreleased tracks... but this one started last Winter as a proposed collaboration that never came together. After giving it another listen recently, it resonated with me as an especially good track to put out during the week of the Summer Solstice! This is my favorite time of year and I'm finding there is something really nostalgic about this one. Once again the minilogue xd is heavily featured.

This song is the opening track from my new album with the Littoral Drift.  Josh Peters https://soundcloud.com/jdylanp was gracious enough to sit in and play on these tracks. His drumming is unique, stylish, and passionate. He brings a lot of flavor to every song on this new album. During recording, I gave him little direction and told him I wanted him to feel total freedom to explore the tune and the vibe. It inspires his playing. We mixed the album together and decided to call the new band The Littoral Drift. The Littoral drift, or longshore sediment transport, is the term used for the longshore transport of sediments (mainly sand), along the upper shoreface due to the action of breaking and longshore currents.

Lyrics:
Born with a nanny and a silver spoon
No complaints no complaints
Broken down wifi can’t get no display
Plain and mundane just plain and mundane

Rolling the dice and feeling the spice
Credited for your glee 
Byzantine pleasure couches of leather
Sprinkled Freud into their sleep
Blameless faceless can’t tell the difference
They all look the same to me
Kaleidoscope of colors forming on the mother
Dark heart formed repressively
Down in the dumps could have been a contender
Blame the mob and learn the lesson
 jingles and  jangles of  holiday pretenders
Blindness to the seedy oppression
It doesn’t affect me so I don’t care

So many out there just fighting for their share. 

Just like animals we rip and we tear
Floating and bobbing hoping it ends
Nothing gets wasted in the nature of things
Recycled promises hang from the wing

Too many trampled just trying to see
Sitting pretty from the perch in their tree
Pulling for the ringer   tribal thought lingers
 avarice raises its middle finger.

Blameless faceless can’t tell the difference
They all look the same to me
Kaleidoscope of colors forming on the mother
Dark heart formed repressively
Down in the dumps could have been a contender
Blame the mob and learn the lesson
 jingles and  jangles of  holiday pretenders
Blindness to the seedy oppression
It doesn’t affect me so I don’t care
So many out there just fighting for their share.

Chorus
I’m on a mission—— so hold tight and feel the vibe 
A new direction——- but still Going to keep it live 
And if you’re itching —-to turn up the volume fine 
Crank it and listen ——-cause I’m about to blow your mind

Verse1
No mistakes —-never hesitate 
No glory—— no prize—— no lives at stake  
I’m gonna keep the faith no matter what it takes 
and it’s peace over war—— so I stay awake

—-🎵Watch every step I take ——plan every move I make 
I was built for love—— and not the hate 🎵
I go hard ——-so why hesitate 
this is the winning team ——time to elevate
—-Got The mindset ——let’s negotiate 
games Tight—-that’s right ——it’s Make or break 
follow me into the light ——time to elevate
another day another night —-nah—-it’s never too late 
to create —-understand and fascinate 
eat it up ——ask for more ——tasty—— scrape your plate 
is gravy to me—— I’mer keep it straight 
everything else ——is a piece of cake

Answer the calls—— from the voices inside of me 
follow the signs ——-that lead to my destiny 
it might take some time ——for all to see 
Fluorescent writing on the wall—-like graffiti 
infusing the track with—- positive energy 
once of paper——— it’s vocal currency 
skill level ——Stone Cold —-A—-prodigy ——-
that’s my legacy——- building a dynasty

Chorus
 
Never walk the straight narrow —-choose the rules that I obey
forgive and forget (ha—-)that might happen someday 
don’t follow the crowd —-and needless to say 
I try not to —-let my ego ——get in the way 
I’m thankful although—-I don’t kneel and pray 
And I’m truly blessed —-y’all know I’m set in my ways 
but thank you Lord —-for another blessing today 
in the meantime ——-please try to meet me halfway 
please try to meet me halfway

Chorus

Clear And Present

I'm getting deeper into sound design with the new synth, the arturia microfreak! ... had fun with this one layering multiple patches on top of one another. I also used the korg minilogue xd and a handful of korg soft synths.

After GrevusAnjl recommended it, I'm also experimenting a ton with AI-generated artwork using the WOMBO dream app which I used to produce the cover art on this track.

As always, thanks for listening!

Paging Señor Cordoba

Sunday July 31 2022 I was given the chance to be on air for an hour set on Vía De Acceso (@viadeacceso) at Lumbung Radio (https://lumbungradio.stationofcommons.org). I sincerely thank my friends Çois Agver (@ois-agver) and Jorge Lara (@enternetboy) for offering me this great opportunity of a full hour show.
I really didn't expect that, so I tried to make the set more exciting by sending them a few unreleased tracks, dating from 1999 to 2005, I had found after an accurate search on my hard disks. I had never considered releasing any of them before, and I personally think they mostly have a documentary value, as they represent memories of my own learning process in making music on a computer. They actually might be thought of as unfinished works, each one somehow resulting incomplete under a different perspective. Still I thought it was a nice chance to introduce a bit of Teth Sin's musical roots to friends, fans and listeners.
A noticeable exception is represented by this ambient piece I had called "Semiramis" at the time, which I actually consider as complete. A few minutes before writing these lines I found out that it dates back to 2002, not 2004 as I thought in the first place. No wonder I have not much to say about the concept, since I can hardly remember when I did it. But it certainly had to be a kind of a meditation on Semiramis' tragic destiny, no matter which of the numerous traditions about her legend we decide to accept as "true". Her figure is mysterious and ephemeral to such a point that she didn't even deserve a plain condemnation by mankind. It somehow sounded tragic to my ears, so I tried to create a sonic sculpture of such an uncomfortable condition.
During the broadcast I heard Çois stating that the track should be officially released. I'm currently working on a few titles after a period of decreased activity, due to some major issues I've been going through lately, but none of them is ready... So I happily accepted Çois' tip, releasing this good old tune today... In wait of something new coming [hopefully] soon!
Hope you'll all enjoy, and even if you don't... Just listen to Vía De Acceso (@viadeacceso) at https://lumbungradio.stationofcommons.org (or to their archive hosted here on SoundCloud at taRka's page @myrhyum) !!!

Step Up!

JEEVAN BHAAVANA (Life Spirit) is composed by Ray Ryeridge 2022.
Another one of my songs inspired by voice samples from India.
Allthough i must admit i have no idea what they are singing about,judging from the sheer beauty of their voices its certainly something benign in nature.
I hope the listener is not annoyed by by repeated use of bells in so many of my songs.Im just simply enchanted by them and i cant help myself once im under the spell of beauty.

Once I wrote a longer description here: a love song in 7/4 ¿or 14/8?

Silvia II (Lo que siento por ti) /  Silvia II (What I feel for you)

Es de difícil clasificación  /  It is difficult to be classified
dentro de las variedades del amor  /  among all varieties of love
lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  what I feel for you, what I feel …

Sólo sé que no puedo vivir sin ti,  /  I only know I can’t live without you,
no puedo ver sentido a mi vida si no estás aquí.  /  I can’t find sense to my life if you are not here.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

Cuando todo va bien  /  When everything goes fine
lo que me une a ti es tu forma de ser,  /  what joins me to you is your way of being,
es muy fácil ver  /  it is very easy to see
todos tus encantos de mujer.  /  all your woman's charms.

Una idea que no puedo soportar  /  An idea that I cannot bear
es verte en brazos de otro, en otro lugar.  /  is seeing you in other one’s arms, in another place.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

No puedo imaginar  /  I cannot imagine
tu voz susurrando a otro compás.  /  your voice whispering to another compass.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

Cuando algo va mal,  /  When something goes wrong,
puedo contemplar tus defectos con claridad.  /  I can behold  your faults with clarity.
Cuando algo va mal,  /  When something goes wrong,
sólo quiero escapar a otro lugar.  /  only I want to escape to another place.

Grab it !!

Silvia II (Lo que siento por ti)

Park Beat

Somewhere between Electronica, IDM, Punk, Trip-hop, with a Score feeling.

It's a mockery of the Newspeak, and its attempt to prevent us from reasoning on concepts a little bit too dark for the tastes of the bureaucrats who feed it.
Beware brave people! Criticism is a poison that your mind can hardly bear !!

Matziz is the electronic part of my music production works.
on the boundaries of film scores, i compose for hip-hop, rock and jazz music.
Here his an attempt to translate pictures into music, to carve the sound matter, play with textures and to extract an emotional essence from all of that.
I'm also working with #DIRTINTHEWINDa collective of art filmmakers based in Toulouse.

(Don't follow me here, best on my main page ;)

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.
