Lofty Castle
A lofty castle of my own
Like Crusoe pulls up the ladder to be alone
Steerforth, he is our guiding star
Inns of molten blue; that’s our repertoire
“Fill full your cups”

I hear the squawk of corkscrew sound
Long before it’s needed for the next maroon round
I’ve laughed at my own jokes all night
How town sharpens an appetite

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Vast truths that mortals seldom” found

I heard someone fall down the stairs
False reports the tumbler was in fact truly yours
Perhaps there’s foundation after all
I’m on my back on the passage floor

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“But still we held as time flew by”

Who’s that smoking right by the fireplace? It was me!
Who’s that leaning out of the window? It was me!
Contemplate their self in the mirror? That was me too!

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Drink to me only with your eyes”

The ABSURD LAW

Upon your confusing arrival.
Your nakedness is covered;
Your mind, reprogrammed;
Your body, controlled;
And your childhood, punished.

At one metre eighty.
you no longer hear the clouds.
The mirror doesn't reflect you.
The body represses you.
You no longer know who you are.

It's inhuman gods
who restrict our freedom.
They desire to decree
That Pi is nowadays 31.14

The process must now begin
Against those Gods and their collaborators.
Dispossessed shall they be!
So your body will finally belong to you.

Our time came,
Let's besiege the paradise
in total rebellion
for our humanity.

Wucan is a german rock band from Dresden, who like to describe themselve as Heavy Flute Rock. If one is to dive deeper into the artistic creativity of the group, it becomes obvious, why regular genres won’t fit here. Multifaceted and playful they deliver psychedelic riffs, progressive song structures with folk elements here and there, since their first album. Wucan fears neither the soothing melodies, nor the tougher pace.

Reinventing themselve with every release, the band and it’s singer and multiinstrumentalist Francis tobolsky never looser their distinct features. Ranging from short proto-metal tracks to epic 15 minute tracks like “Wandersmann” of their debut album or „Aging 10 Years in 2 Seconds“ of their 2-LP follow up.

On September 10, 2021 Wucan performed in the well-known Blues Garage in Isernhagen near Hannover. And German radio station Deutschlandfunk recorded the show, the first live album of the band, energetic and pure.

Caballos sobre cuerdas

Questa canzone è dedicata a mio padre Dino Salvatori.
https://dinosalvatori.weebly.com

--------

La realtà somiglia ad un fiume che scorre incessante nel mare dei ricordi. In quell'accumulo invisibile che chiamiamo memoria, spesso andiamo in cerca delle nostre cose più care, nell'inane tentativo di non perderle per sempre. È questo il tema di un dialogo immaginario tra due amici che provano a trovare un senso allo scorrere inesorabile del tutto.


Ricordi 

A un tratto sei partito
Dal porto il tuo veliero 
Andava via leggero
E non ti ho più sentito
Ferito ti ho inseguito 
Ma il tuo volto si allontana
Sempre più sbiadito 

Tu lo sai quanto segno 
Hai lasciato tra noi
Che sei stato un gigante
Un condottiero/guerriero
La tua spada era sempre 
E soltanto pensiero 

Amico mio 
La vita scivola
In un rapido istante
Già andato, finito
Se vai nei ricordi
Lo troverai (lo troverai) 

Allora forse
Ho capito dici che
Se la vita è perduta
In un lampo in un minuto 
Ciò che abbiamo vissuto 
Non scompare all'istante 
Come avevo temuto 

Del tempo compianto
Grumi di istanti di vita
Come per incanto
Si addensano in memorie
Più vive delle storie 
Senza alcun rimpianto 

Amico mio 
La vita scivola
In un rapido istante
Già andato, finito
Se vai nei ricordi 
Lo troverai (lo troverai)
E non saremo mai troppo distanti
Se la memoria di una vita 
È un sole che arde dentro di te 

Se vai nei ricordi
Nei ricordi 
Se vai nei ricordi 
Lo troverai

“The return of the mystics for the awakening of human consciousness”.

“Even times of oppression are worthy of respect, for they are the work, not of men, but of humanity, and therefore of creative nature, which can be harsh, but is never absurd. If the times we live in are harsh, we have the duty to love it even more, to penetrate it with our love, until we have removed the enormous mountains that hide the light beyond them”. (Walter Rathenau)

Search For Truth

I Close The Door.MP3

Long time ago in the Scottish Highlands. A tribe that lives in a rough and harsh surrounding, strengthened over generations by the unfriendly environment. The borders of the tribes territory are not exactly known. In particular, in the North, the saying goes that vast areas of unoccupied lands will belong to those that first dare to claim it. So a small troup of currageous military men sets foot to the Northern Frontier ...

Composition-wise: The piece explores the change of atmosphere when the same motive is played with different accompaniments. The same theme can be found for instance @ 0:00 ff,  0:23 ff and 1:05 ff. The accompaniment increases in intensity and rhythm for these three instances, ranging from a meditative intro over a – to my ears – tribal dance or chant towards a first  climax of the piece which might make a good soundtrack for a battle in the Scottish Highlands. The track then settles down to the second theme @ 1:33 which again is repeated with much more agitated accompaniment @ 1:55 ff. 

While the track is in general in 4/4, it raises the tension by sometimes breaking the metrum into more unconventional rhythmic structures. This holds in particular for @ 0:46 ff where the metrum changes to a succession of ¾, 4/4, ¾, 6/4, 6/4, 4/4, ¾, 4/4, ¾, ¾, ¾ and then reverts to the original 4/4. Also @ 2:09  there is in insert of a ¾ bar and at the very end @ 2:30, there is a 2/4 break just before the final chord. 

I did some Youtube Shorts in Case with more details on some composition tweaks that I used in this track:
Varying the Accompaniment: https://youtube.com/shorts/7HAWSz2Mg14?feature=share
Breaking the metric structure: https://youtube.com/shorts/tUvaq8D6nUo?feature=share
Ligature Bows: https://youtube.com/shorts/-WBf6Du040g?feature=share
Keeping the attention until the end: https://youtube.com/shorts/qnJl5BQ4yxU?feature=share


The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase by adding  reverb, a Stereo enhancer and fiddling a bit with the EQ. 
The picture was created with Stable Diffusion.

Frida's Wings – The Skeletons
November 2023
Duration: 2:40
Listen to the Playlist: soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/art-expressed-in-music-i
Painting: Frida Kahlo, Four Inhabitants of Mexico (cropped).  Frida pictures herself at 4, with a Judas, a pre-Columbian symbol from Nayarit, and a skeleton.
Music for Danse Etoile Ballet (www.danseetoile.org) who will be performing Frida's Wings, a ballet based on the life and works of Frida Kahlo, June 2024 in Colorado.
This piece will also be included in the upcoming “Art Expressed in Music” series.
Thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for creating the “rattling bones” sound library
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self portraits and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico.  Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. She is also known for painting about her experience of chronic pain. In most of her self-portraits, she depicts her face as mask-like, but surrounded by visual cues which allow the viewer to decipher deeper meanings. Aztec mythology features heavily in Kahlo's paintings in symbols including skeletons and skulls.  In the painting, Dream of The Bed, painted in the year of 1940, Frida expressed her feeling and interception of death, which depicts a skeleton on the canopy of her bed (as she had in her real life). Her husband, Diego Rivera called the Juda, Frida's lover, but Frida said it's just an amusing reminder of people's mortality. Frida Kahlo spent much of her life in pain.  As As a teenager she suffered a horrific bus accident which left her unable to have children and meant she needed more than 30 operations on her spine. Eventually her withered leg had to be amputated and she died at 47. She said in her diary: “Feet, why do I need you, if I have wings to fly”

Art Expressed in Music - Frida's Wings - The Skeletons

Will you travel in my imaginary world :)) ?

I'd like to be a kite 
that floats and dives with the wind 
cut the thread that holds me

to lose myself in the universe 
and observe from time to time 
from afar the madness of the earth 

it seems that to be happy 
it's better to stay in line 
but I can't wait 

to soar like a seagull
to be able to cross the rainbow 
aim at the moon and the sun 
and talk to the stars as I fly 

board a ship 
as an ordinary sailor 
or even a stowaway 
on a voyage that would have no end 
no end...

like a bottle in the sea
I drift with the currents 
I go where time pushes me

i don't know where my prayers go 
at the end of the solar system 
I'm going to separate my two hands 

and stop imagining 
that a better world sweet and serene 
is just around the corner 
is tomorrow ... so

I'll soar like a seagull
cross the rainbow 
aim at the moon and the sun 
and talk to the stars as I fly 

board a ship 
as an ordinary sailor 
or even a stowaway 
on a voyage that would have no end 
no end...

Un Voyage (Translated)

I Thought I Knew        

The world is upside down                   
The secrets that I never knew
On my bedroom ceiling
 
The world is inside out 
Seams are on the outside
It’s a real confusing feeling
        
A mushroom is a mushroom    
That is something everybody knows
But what if when you woke up very early in the morning 
Your mushroom was a toadstool     
Your bluebird was a pointed rock?
A dog bite was a diamond 
And your cancer was a smile?
 
Oh yeah, I knew it all            
But suddenly I’m learning 
After sixty years of knowing

I never knew that much          
It’s a real peculiar feeling
And I don’t know where it’s  going      
    
A matchbox is a matchbox
That is something everybody knows 
But what if then you stayed up very late into the evening and 
Your matchbox was a carpet flying you right through the ceiling?
A trail of fire behind you as you wish the world goodbye?

I thought I knew 
I thought I knew

What if they were untrue                   
The stories I’ve been telling that had sounded so appealing?
 And every word was false
A blanket made of fiction
It’s a real confusing feeling

A mushroom is a mushroom
That is something everybody knows
But what if when you woke up very early in the morning 
Your mushroom was tomorrow    
Your fingers were a pigeon
Your secrets were a fairy tale and everyone was gone?

What if a different song was playing all along?

I thought I knew

I need a band to play guitar
I need some friends to share cool times
Rock'n'Roll, littles crimes
Rock'n'Roll with nice rhymes

One day, for a jam we met
One jam but it was so wet
Highway to stars
By the way, we have passed Mars

-Bridge-
   Right away, we hit it off	
   Right away, we felt it cool
   Right away, we hit it off	
   Right away, we played like fools
   Right away, we hit it off	
   Right away, agreed the rules

-Chorus- 
I pull the trigger
You flick on the switch
Let all start now
     We're gliding under
     The spell of that witch	
     Let us wow
	I pull the trigger
	You flick on the switch
	Let all start now
	     We'll reach the skies
	     Rock'n'Roll never dies		

I need my band and some hot gigs
I need my friends, these funny knights
Rock'n'Roll, sleepless nights
Rock'n'Roll, feel all right				

Each time, at the shows we sweat		
Each show always turns so great
Highway to hell
By the way, salute each bell

TAFFETA | 163

Inspired by The Love Boat. Not the show itself but more the imagined back stage with Lauren Tewes doing prodigious amounts of coke, old 50's movie stars and the giant egos of the people involved in a hit TV show. That mixed with an out of control bass line, some Muzak, jazz and the weird bits of the 70's floating around in my mind.

Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel --MD—lyrics and primary vocals

Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet --Steve--vocals

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– sitar

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion

Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–guitar solo and fills, production, mix

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- Electric Piano, four string fretless bass guitar

  This is a song that Josh wrote on the piano during JJ's hiatus back in August. He got Ken to play the drums, very competently, as always. After Josh had a solid beat, he added the bass. Then he asked Stephen to play some sitar, and add his magic to the brew. Then, we asked MD to come up with some vocals, which he did in his very original, unique style. Finally, after MD had added his vocals, Tez put on the finishing touches with his flaming guitar. Tez also mixed and produced this one for us, expertly. 
  Josh didn't know what to do with this one because Steve gave it a shot, but we couldn't get the idea to gel together. We thought it would be relegated to the shelf, until Miller agreed to give it a whirl. If you're not a lyric reader, I suggest you start with his songs, mainly on his page, but here, as well. However, we did keep Steve's intro vocals, which you hear at the very beginning. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did making it. 
Lyrics:
Get High!

Just listen to the sound of it all
Here's your wake up call
Jolting the receptors as
They parade the dance hall

Here's a treat for you
A little green nug to get you through

Smoke it
Numb this
All hit
no miss
Smoke it
Numb this
All hit
No miss

So You can sit there on planet earth
While I'll be head first in Saturn's girth
Still Trying to get to the point of rebirth

So sing me a song
A song that sails away
To the shores of the green
Where there's nothing in between

I'll Flick the lighter
When everything is black
Things might get brighter
Or I'll just observe the plaque

Maybe I'll cut me some slack
And melt on the couch with the big Mac
Or maybe even the Mighty Taco pack
With my Feet to the sky, I'm laying back!

Smoke it
Numb this
All hit
No miss

Smoke it
Numb this
All hit
No miss

Smoke it
numb this!

All hit 
No miss!

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell --composition, piano, and strings
Ross Smithe-- @ross-smithe --lyrics, vocals, mix, mastering, and production
Josh Clary-- @josh-clary-1 --bass and mandolin
This is a song written on the piano by JJ, who wanted to share the creative process with two of his esteemed colleagues. He asked Ross to come up with some vocals and lyrics, which Ross did in a profoundly deep way. His experience with both life and singing is really evident in this. Then JJ asked me to add my multi-instrumental skills to the mix. So, I added bass and mandolin, with the great direction of JJ and Ross. Then JJ added some synth strings to the mix, too. Finally, Ross mixed, produced, and mastered it. 
  This is the first time, hopefully of many, that this trio has worked together. JJ and I, of course, are in the Eclectic Collective together, but this was our first time working with Ross. We were both really impressed with his work, and found him a real pleasure with whom to create. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did recording it. Happy Thanksgiving!
Lyrics:Here, here in this moment, I'm free, I'm free 
And here, here in this moment, I see, I see

Here, here in this moment, I live, I live And here, here is a moment, to give, oh to give 
To give what I can't keep, to gain what I can't lose 
To lay it down, and find a better way Oh, lay it down 
Give it away 

Here in this moment in time (here in this moment in time) 
Cherish this gift of life (cherish this gift of life) 
This beautiful moment in time (this beautiful moment in time) 
Cherish this gift of life (cherish this gift of life) 
Cherish this gift of life 

And always be caring, loving, and sharing 
It is the way, it is the way 
To give up all you are, to gain what you will be 
To lay it down, and find a better way Oh, lay it down 
Give it away

This is the lead track from the set of songs that I began with Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the turmoil and chaos brought upon by the pandemic. This is also the first part of four tracks within the album directly based on Wou-Wou’s comic, The Shrike. It has been incredible working with Bitzone and Stricknice throughout the project as well. It is always cool when the everyone in the stag heard works well togehter and brings distinct yet complimentary ideas to the mix. Big thanks also to Weighty Tree for introducing his groovy style of neopsychedelica to the rut! 

May everyone be victorious at their turn during the rut.

Lyrics

Intro
Several weeks after the events of The Great Scurry, all had returned back to normal in the autumnal forest. Nature has a way of quickly shaking off the traumas of the past and returning to its most basic of desires. You see, all of life yearns to mate and procreate, and while most that experience defeat from the stronger or rejection from those seeking the fitter, muster the determination to get back up again, some take their spurning to heart, as if they were more deserving than nature intended, where it festers and begins to grow a new grotesque life of its own.     

Verse
Word 
Yo
As antlers crashed with the desperation of lust 
And the scent of musk in the air
I couldn’t help but take notice there
Was a sweet smell of autumn 
Carried in the gust 
Of wind  
It is a beautiful time of the year
When the does come into estrus 
And there is only one thing on my mind
I must get some of that behind 
I find
Times like these to be harbingers 
That linger
I could count times like these on my fingers
If I didn’t have hooves 
And wasn’t crashing to the ground 
With the sound of defeated dreams 
Of games of hard to get
And multiple days of getting wet 
I let the overwhelming excitement of rut
Get the best of me 
And now am crest fallen to see
The Doe that I thought was mine
Walk away with the buck that brought me down to the twines
Uh

The Shrike Pt. 1

The Weighty Tree, Stricknice, Bitzone, Wou-Wou & the Couch King - The Shrike Pt. 1

Similar to R I.P.  A bit of fun with a Dylanesque type blues.

I tried to create a real big space. Not easy! Thank you for listening :)

Now it´s time
Remember and release
Now it´s time
The pain will come and ease

Now it´s time
To get back on the ground
Now it´s time
Declutter what I found

I can´t believe it´s over, a new beginning
...

Now it´s time
To become innocent
Now it´s time
To live luminiscent

Now it´s time
To overcome the pain
Now it´s time
To let it all go down the drain

I can´t believe it´s over - a new beginning
...

Lyrics:
The blind man lay down his walking cane
And rested by a stream
He thought he heard a minstrel sing
Or was it just a dream
A voice so calm and gentle
Full of love and full of grace
The air so sweet as if there was
Some magic in this place

The blind man sat contentedly
To hear the minstrel play
His words painted a picture
Of the dawning of the day
The rising of the morning sun
The light now giving shade
Such things he saw, such images
How could they ever fade

The minstrel played his song
And let the blind man be
At peace with at all the wonders
That his minds eye could now see
The oceans and the mountains
An eagle flying high
The colours of a rainbow 
Across the evening sky

He gathered up his walking cane
And softly bid farewell
My thanks to you kind minstrel
For the stories that you tell
Out there now ahead of him
A new path somehow lay 
As the minstrel’s voice began again
To sing and light his way

If all the stars could tell their tale 
What stories there would be
Of all that makes this universe 
Including you and me
What lies unseen beneath,
Beyond beginning with no end
For all we think we know 
What do we really “know” my friend

The Blind Man

"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.
