Hazy mornings with you
Everything’s gone downhill

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
Cause you care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Just a last time then I’ll disappear
All of our tainted years

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
You care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Beautiful Collision Conover/Labarca/Welin/Gotchi

When Tom approached me with this piano melody, the initial arrangement and the title to which he hoped I’d add lyrics and vocals, I thought it was almost unnecessary as the piece already said everything required. Shortly afterwards, Jussi had added sublime guitar which offered a hopeful balance in the mood. Knowing what Tom was referring to without discussing it openly I wrote these words from a similar position of experience. I contrasted the first verse of a woman at her peak with the second verse of a woman in decline to heighten the emotion. I found that the spoken word approach allowed more emotion to flow from both the music and the words. Tom had the great idea to ask Hidefumi to complete the song with a phenomenal solo. Thank you to everyone who helped make this come together, and a very special thanks to all of you for listening.

She knows just what it feels like now.
I think she’s losing it, I think she’s losing it. 
When she is almost ready, 
She will lose her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Then she’ll lose herself in herself and then she’ll be free,
To be what she wants, what she wants to be.

She knows not who she feels like now.
I know she’s losing it, I know she’s losing it. 
As if she's gone already, 
She has lost her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Already lost herself in herself and now she’s elsewhere,
Knows not what she wants, nor who she used to be.

She's Losing It - Tom Régnier/Jussi Welin/Mark J Bennett/Boon-Suzuki

The Scorpio

comin’ over
to my place tonight
dressed in clover
whets my appetite

i want to know
the afterglow

slide on over
i’ll take it at the light
black bulldozer
tailin’ us tonight

i feel the flow
the undertow

cold turkey
no way
i’ll get there
someday

now it’s over
turnin’ out the light
bruised all over
exiting stage right

i feel the flow
the vertigo
and now you know
the scorpio

Music Is All Around Us

'your addiction' 

Scratch Kelly: beats, production, photography
Scotty: lyrics, vocals, guitars 

I loom in the subconscious of your mind.
I won't reveal myself until it's time.
Assume you're well until I come to find
your weakness. Then your ass is fucking mine.
And once I get my filthy hands on you,
you'll have no idea of the things that you will do
to get me into your blood, and when I'm through,
you'll crave my love and I'll be stuck with you. 

Finding it hard to live without my love?
Finding it hard to cope without my love?
Finding it hard to kick your need for my love?
You're stuck, babe, I'm your addiction. 

Consumed by the evils in your mind.
You're ruined by the fecal memories you find.
Your wounds that you can't forget or leave behind.
Resume with your need for my love until you die. 

Finding it hard to live without my love?
Finding it hard to cope without my love?
Finding it hard to kick your need for my love?
You're stuck, babe, I'm your addiction.

your addiction (with Scratch Kelly)

Enfantines n°5 ( l'image représente une sculpture de Giuseppe Penone, un des maîtres du landart). La sculpture  est taillée dans l'arbre même que l'on voit, qui continue ainsi à pousser en elle, avec la branche par dessus sa tête. On peut la voir au Domaine d'art contemporain de Kerguehennec ( Sud Bretagne, France)

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.
