MOON AND ARIES are back – with their new single "KNOTS"!
FULL VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjUReKoR1YQ
About the song: 
Having too many KNOTS can lead to a short rope. And if you want to climb a mountain, wouldn`t it be better if the rope was endless, always there to assist you with every reach? KNOTS - the new song by MOON AND ARIES. From the very first seconds, this song takes you into a confronting and liberating universe. Step by step, untying knot by knot, know you are worth what is on the other side of the mountain. This cinematic, electronic, chill, calm pop gem will throw you a rope to save you. KNOTS – release day: JUNE 22nd, 2023 on all streaming devices!

Admire the Chaos 
A song for a strong independent woman who doesn’t suffer fools gladly and makes you admire her chaos.



V1 
I love the way you don’t suffer fools, gladly, and you tell them what you think
It must be your superpower and tonight you look so  pretty in ink 
And I love the shock on their faces 
It’s like you tied together their laces 


Chorus 
I will Sit back admire the chaos 
And watch it unfold 
I Sit back admire the chaos
And watch the room explode 

V2 
I love the way you are and stand your ground at the bar
And reduce grown men to become smaller than they are 
There’s always something scary about a woman’s scorn
But your not scary just chaos i adore


Chorus 
I will Sit back admire the chaos 
And watch it unfold 
I Sit back admire the chaos
And watch the room explode

Lyrics:

Vibrational
Sensational
With a slimy slip of Dorito finger
Buttons are nothing underneath where the crust curdles and lingers
I guess that's why Lara fell in a hole and died
I guess that's why Sackboy lost the step in his stride

My controls they are withering
and the snakes, they are slithering
If I don't get outta this pit, the repetitive urge won't benefit
Everything I've done to get to every, get to every drop of it
Comes crashing through the TV with the birth of a self honorary misfit

Don't you push my buttons
Cuz they may stick like Syrup
Don't you push
Don't you push
Because you may never see your part of me again

We think we figured out this game
and changed it's whole fucking name
Time will brittle some parts of the chain
and the function distorts away from the brain

Sticky Buttons

This is a song that has been one of my favorites for the last 25 years or so. It's a cover of a cover that Jerry Garcia (guitar, of course), Merle Saunders (keys), John Kahn (bass), and Bill Vitt (drums) recorded live at the Keystone in Berkley, CA, in 1973. It's actually a cover they did (I just found out a few years ago) of a song called Finders Keepers by the Chairmen of the Board, which is definitely worth checking out, too. This version is a more laid back, but it keeps the funk alive. 
  The guys who made this quarter century dream of mine come true are JJ Terrell, who plays the funky clavichord and dynamic organ throughout, Ken (K2 and the Three, and K2 and the Four)who's playing the tight, funky drums and great percussion, and Tez (Llanpsych), who's playing the ripping guitar lead at the end. Tez also mixed and produced this, expertly, as always. I'm on guitar, bass, and the synth lead at the beginning. Can't verbalize how much fun this was for me, and I hope all of us. We hope you enjoy it, too.

Even evil Masters of the Abyss get their groove on now and then – and what better time than Halloween! Poor Raewyn doesn’t really feel like joining in, but she doesn’t have much choice!

No particular storyline (and not really part of the Elvenland saga), just a bit of Halloween techno fun from John and myself 😊

Elvenland - Halloween 🎃 (feat. John Buckle)

"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.
