First track from my new Anonymous project Autjoy.
GOLD has a experimental beat arrangement. 

A mix of spoken word and singing vocals delivers my exploration of what it means to be neurodivergent. 

GOLD will appear on my new Album out on 5/5/2023 on Bandcamp.


GOLD   https://autjoy.bandcamp.com/album/gold


I feel like I am trespassing on solid ground 
Too long have I just been floating around gathering beats subconsciously tuning in the reverberations and details and the patterns of your 
Words
The pulsating light from the fluorescent tubes abuses my senses along with the background hum
I walk about numb with psychic blinkers on trying to ignore the glare from the
Sun
I get multiple interpretations of expressions and instructions so I try to follow your flow 
I want to know so I carry out my own private investigation of your 
Soul

I exist and feel the twist
Push and pull 
I get the gist
Analyse the hows and whys 
I just don’t think like you

Can’t do the things the way you do
Got my quirks and reasons too
Analyse the lows and highs 
And all that’s in-between

Emotions strike I ride the rush 
It’s almost like I feel too much 
Analyse the truth and lies 
Arrive at my own  view 

I need clarification to make sure I know what it is you’re talking about 
I could’ve zoned out I’m not being rude but the first thing you said was really interesting but I think you’ve moved
On
Its ok I always frown don’t worry about it it’s where I hold my attention
Anyway you keep changing the subject and it’s a bit Intense 
I don’t think my thoughts are matching my
Face 
You got emotional in what seems like a negative way 
It’s like a black hole I need to escape from I’m shutting down on some kind of overload 
I can’t process your information and the energy 
Hurts

I exist and feel the twist
Push and pull 
I get the gist
Analyse the hows and whys 
I just don’t think like you

Can’t do the things the way you do
Got my quirks and reasons too
Analyse the lows and highs 
And all that’s in-between

Emotions strike I ride the rush 
It’s almost like I feel too much 
Analyse the truth and lies 
Arrive at my own view

Piano - Andy
Strings (vst)- Helen

Helen thought the repeating piano phrase reminded her of an old fashioned treadle weaving loom. So the track is a sort of homage to those who laboured at these devices to create fabric and clothing for the masses. The painting is "Weaver" by Vincent Van Gogh.

Cancer

She was a siren to be sure
Saw it coming
And wanted to be first in line
A farer through the doubtful warnings
Oh you make it so
You make it so
You make it

Every conversation a work of art
Won’t hang on a wall
So back to the start
You like to feel the pull
But don’t fire it up
Fire it up
Don’t fire it up
Fire it up

He had to find his way in circles
The scintillation
Called to him so pure and clear
And then no ending
Only faring
O you say where
You say where
You say

Every conversation a work of art
Won’t hang on a wall
So back to the start
You like to feel the pull
But don’t fire it up
Fire it up
Don’t fire it up
Fire it up

Every conversation a work of art
He said what’s the point of all the talking now
Siren, scintillation
And all these circles
She’s going to
Fire it up
She’s going to
Fire it up

Every Conversation in June

Every Conversation

Buy me if you love me

This is a perfect song for collaboration that JJ came up with on the keys and bass, based on a really cool drum track that Ken (K2 and the Three, K2 and the Four) gave him. They are both wildly creative, and left the perfect amount of collaborator space, as they do on every song. Then I got a hold of it and added the main guitar, lap slide, mandolin, and some synth. Then we sent it over to Stephen (TexMex Shaman), who added that really cool guitar solo at the end of the first part, and some more guitar to the end. Also, and very importantly, Stephen produced and mixed this for us. Talk about monumental task! It was like we gave him a basket of cats, and he made a cohesive thought out of it. I'm amazed. I can't overstate how much I enjoy making music with these three sorcerers. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did making this.

Very happy to present my first collaboration with @storm_0101101 !!

Always fun to make a new SoundCloud connection, and I hope there will be more to come from the two of us. This was a really fun blend of styles, and Storm,,'s production chops are awesome -- he gets full credit for the final mix here, produced after I sent him some beat and melody stems.

'Night Vision' is an Ambient/Fusion mixture really. Inspired by the memory of walking through the streets of Central London through the night. For a time I was playing in a West End night club. Between sessions I would go out for a wander around the Soho streets to clear my head.

Dawsy - Leave You Alone「Nightcore」

"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.
