The dream team! JB's highly inventive music and Janine's heavenly lyrics make for a potent listen. Outta the park folks.

Excellent vocal and fantastic guitar! What a groove! 🔥

Great duet , well done friends with a song that would appeal to Henry David Thoreau.

your guitars make me shiver and shake like james man the layers make for a truly stimulating listen.

Fantastic songwriting with a wonderful vocal performance and that guitar tone and your playing is awesome

I've been wondering for a while when you guys would release another one of your adorable collabs... it was worth the wait. Great! This fabulous duo always works!

this just popped into my feed after I finished listening to something else, and I couldn't resist listening to it again. It really is a top notch creation my man. thanks for making this!

Gerard-Paploviante

The song is about perseverance through repetitive tasks by escaping deep into the mind's imagination. Back to the grind, I guess. Here is a video accompaniment with some old school animation.

Lyrics
When you were searchin like an Urchin you were movin
On the sea floor
 With the tides you collide while dodging all the mine
Fields close to shore
Missing all the green hoping genes give the means from the fiends
For many more
Times like these you hope for the shoulder 
Of many of us
Pushin up the boulder for days and in ways but it sways
As it must     
But crashing back down to the ground
Like  Sisyphus

Never had the change on the range by the quarter that was drawn
 in early dawn

And you sit curled in your room with  clouded doom
Metamorphosis

Grinding the Stone

Merry belated Christmas to all.
Due to a little indulgence this year this track is a little late being released 
I hope you enjoy.
Music,composition,arangement,mix and production ... Pablo.

Once again @enigmacurry turns around something amazing based on a short little beat I sent his way. Initially he made a 7.5 minute version that sounded completely different (which I'll post at another point), then he requested the stems, went back to the drawing board and produced this epic 9.5-minute beast of a remix. It really sparked my imagination - hope it works for you too!

Just a song I dig!! Couldn’t ever do it justice, but I tried! Happy 2025 to all!!!🙏🙏🙏… and yes, aware that the first line says @ did, on original😎

Nature has conspired to bring a basketful of obstacles 
Pesky interfering things, not the things she ought to bring 
They pile up in my way like spiky beaver dams 
They just accumulate like unbrushed tresses,

Well surprise surprise, they can be wonderful

An infantry of shoulds and bags of promises 
Have all transmogrified and curl like willow branches 
That crown around my head and vine around my feet 
And where the fire burned, they slurp the ashes

But surprise surprise, they're kinda beautiful
 it’s all so beautiful


Surprise surprise, it’s pretty beautiful
Nature is a wild thing with no philosophy 
And where the atoms turn is helter skelter 
So on the sides of trees forever lichen grows 
And mossy destiny is in their shelter

Surprise surprise, it’s all so beautiful

This is a remix of my original You Are Me.
HEART HOUSE AND THE NEW KINDNESS asked me kindly when I made this song, if he could remix this. And finally, after a long time I did something about it. And I think it turned out great!
Thank you so much for your patience, Ben. You did a great job  :)

Lyrics:

Where did you go
You just disappeared
All over and everywhere
I searched for you

But when I was all alone
I found in my search for you
That you are me
And I am you..

You was only a painting
I had made for myself
Some colors on a canvas
That I thought I needed to be whole..

I will make a new painting
With another brush
And different colors
On a canvas that's brand new...

I'm so glad i could see
That you are me
And I am you

I only need me to feel free...
I'm finally free..

You Are Me ( Remixed and co produced By HEART HOUSE AND THE NEW KINDNESS)

This is maybe the first track I've ever released to SC featuring me playing guitar! Picking it back up a bit after a long break... I'm continuing to explore Ableton Live and it's inspiring me to think outside of my normal creative patterns.

“Apricity Serenade”  by Luke 

The word Apricity ..means  “the warmth of the sun in winter” first used in 1623
It’s been a long cold winter up here in Canada 🇨🇦 
one day the Sun came out inspiring me to write this piece

“Apricity Serenade” by Luke

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.
