 Russians says "There' s no Ukraine, it shouldn't exist"...  I'm Ukrainian and I'm proud of it. My country do exists as well as my music. No one in the world has no right and power to make such statements about any nation. They drew their fascist sign "Z" with blood of Ukrainian children. If you support Russian aggression against Ukraine you've got that bloody sign on your forehead. The God is to judge you...

Falling Slowly

One of my works recorded in my "previous" life before the war. Sometimes we feel tiny and lonely in the Universal. Lately I feel tiny and helpless facing the horrors of the war in my country...

the streets behind us have often seen a come and go
and sometimes we feel incomplete
but the reason we don’t know
till the right one says hello
when you at least expect it

c’est la vie
keep going
c’est la vie

coming close and drifting back
in endless meaningless affairs
but it’s a soul without disguise
who joins you creepin‘ up the backstairs of life
when you at least expect it

c’est la vie
keep going
c’est la vie
we strollin‘ on
c’est la vie

C´est La Vie

Another composition recorded before the war. I hope one day I will return to my home studio. Any support from you is much appreciated on these extremely hard times for our country, our family. 
I could have recorded much new music for the last 9 months... unless russians came to our yard to "save" us with their tanks, missiles, bombs and war planes at 4 a.m. on Feb 24th. And yes, they saved us from our house, from our normal life, from our dreams and plans. They saved my elderly parents from their home and peaceful life in retiring, saved my daughter from happy childhood, from school, from her friends and vacation by the sea. We'll never forget and never forgive it! I'm sure that russia will get what it deserves - each rocket they launch on Ukraine will turn to another 10 years of disaster for their cowardly people.
 Special thanks to Houman (@houmans) for mastering the track! Please check out his wonderful soundtracks.

Broken Dreams - Paploviante

Nakedverse and me have been meaning to do a Motown inspired track for a while now , and here it is , the last in a 5 track EP we have been writing together now for about a year , details to follow . Please go and visit him https://soundcloud.com/nakedverse
Lyrics :-
There's nothing like the sweet revenge of
Time and patience as the karma
Catches up with everything they've done
Can't you see it in the news now
The veils are lifted from your eyes now
If you look away it does no good

Dominoes fall
One by one and
Knock each-other down

Perhaps its in my love of justice
Or my twisted sense of humour
But my smile gets bigger everyday
To know that we can turn the tables
Maybe to rewrite the fables
That they forced on us , here comes that day

Dominoes fall
One by one and
Knock each-other down

Oh Oh woah 
Just like dominoes

There's nothing like the sweet revenge of
Time and patience as the karma
Catches up with everything they've done

Dominoes fall
One by one and
Knock each-other down

Oh Oh woah
Just like dominoes
Goodbye bad times
Just like dominoes

Setting My Mood

N.B. 11/07/2023: at last I think I managed to delete the more disturbing noises!! And keep quite the best of the recording ! Hope you better enjoy the song now 🎈 … and the new cover art 🤩 closer to the chorus ❤️‍🔥

it's been a dilemna to choose wether or not I would publish that track:
1. After hours and hours of work on mastering to remove the huge amount of noises on that old tape recording , it was only half a success...
2. I love this song!... despite its not perfect sound

Hope you’ll validate the option 2 :)

Bruno (future Loony) wrote the song, programmed drums, played the bass and the guitars, and sung.
Composed in July 16th 1989
Recorded in January 1992 on Yamaha 4 tracks

The song has been played live with the Catsbleed between 92 and 94, meeting a bit of success 🎈

WHEN I FIND MYSELF (LoFi Remastered)- Bruno C     -   Art cover: Nataly NGM

So many interpolations or inspirations in this 😎 had a lot of fun doing it ….

Soul Kissed angelic
Always missed, I’m so pathetic 
Memory inducing to the touch
And born to do it 
Don’t rush, got the love, it’s enough 
You help me see the things ….

Repairing like a medic,
Making out I’m psychedelic, 
Foot on the clutch, it’s too much not 
Not born to run it,
Don’t push, it’s a touch, we’re enough 
You help me see the things that I can’t see 

You’ve been undefeated 
My lines were confiscated 
Hitting the highs, record times, 
We can’t be slated 
It’s a rush, at push it’s on us 
You help me see the things…
Turned my fate upside down
If my dad could see he’d be proud 
Your a riot, I’m so loud, I’m so loud
It’s on us, what a rush, it’s enough 
You help me see the things that I can’t see 

Blindsided by life’s lies
Lucky is as lucky does 
That hasn’t been the case for many of us 
When I was in a hole, you took on the starring role 
Led me away, said I could stay, for a day so I stayed anyway 
You help me see the things that I can’t see

All Things I Cant See

Resung, remixed and remastered from almost four years ago.

This is a clash of psychology with science, and, well, early The Cure meets Bowie's Scary Monsters. It's easy to be close to somebody and still not be seen or heard no matter how loudly you speak. Mixed all this up with some actual invisibility science, so believe it or not, in terms not being seen this song stands on solid physics, until it doesn't....

BEND THE LIGHT

You see me
You look through me
You hear me
Can you hear me?

You’re blinded by your reflection
I’m invisible in the shadow of your glow

I absorb you
I deflect you
I’m a scientific wonder
My surface is cool
My paint is dark
A massive anomaly
A singularity
A Nobel prize in disguise
I’m in disguise

You’ve got the angle
You could be near or far
On any wavelength
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light

I wait for you
You walk by me
I’m a meta material
New spectrum
No infrared
I’m headed to the Blue Hall
A Nobel prize in disguise
I’m gonna be famous
I’m gonna be famous

You’ve got the angle
You could be near or far
On any wavelength
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light

You bend the light
But I’m gonna be famous
You bend the light
And I’m famous

Bend The Light

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS

Les vérités fragiles, celles qui indisposent
Des heures indociles qui vieillissent les roses
Sous des lueurs ingrates dans ce compte à rebours
Les années qui partent aux allers sans retour.

Les folles images sans oraisons verbeuses
Nous tournent la page des idées voyageuses
Devant ces rêves fanés de pensées furtives
Le souvenir d’un passé aux humeurs positives.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Sous couvert d’absolu, larguer le mauvais sang
Vers des terres inconnues au milieu d’océans
S’oublier des hier sans se moquer de tout
Il reste tant à faire pour aller jusqu'au bout.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

En rêvant de son mieux, vers de jolies pensées
Un sourire dans ses yeux ne peut faire qu'avancer
La vie est ainsi faite, elle va, elle vient, elle fuit
Et même quand tout s'arrête, rien n'est jamais fini.

Mais regardons l'avenir, il reste tant de choses
Beaucoup d'éclats de rire qui font les vies en rose
Profitons du bonheur en vivant ce présent
Et sans penser à l'heure qui brisera ce temps.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
En vivant les instants… en vivant simplement.

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS (Chanson Française)

We stayed up very late then took the flight from Kyoto 
The blossom on the wind the artificial sky reminded us of something

Oh did you hear that a storm is coming 
Oh did you hear that we were making plans

That girl said she was you when you were in that noise art band
 But it was hard to tell if she was really real or just another ghost

The shadows on the wall 
The clinical blue light 
The trouble's hidden in my heart

I'm watching from above it's like we're in a TV show
 We're standing on a bridge the mountain in the distance like a Hokusai

Lyrics (besides the original chorus lyrics):

=== Verse 1 ===

As he listened to his father die 
Bullets pissin’ bye 
He could feel the burning 
Where the bullet occupied 
Another Killing in the streets 
Where the bodies lay for weeks 
Father shot in the head 
Soldier thought the boy was dead
Lying still as he bled
What are you doing
Is all the soldier said
Before holes plugged with led
And dusty road is running red 
Mouth wide open on his final resting bed
Instead they never made it 
Tried to pay a visit 
To their family in a basement
Tied white fabric on their bike to convey it
That they traveled in peace 
Where the shootings never cease 
And everyone knows deceased
Survivors all tell stories of soldiers shooting at their feet
When the man stepped forward 
The father didn’t say a word
Curbed the bike and deferred 
Their plans to to be deterred 
All hands in the air 
In their head 
Ill intentions inferred

=== Verse 2 ===

The child emerged out from the smoke  
As she surged for air
She could hear the father choke 
As fear got him off his chair
Soldiers tossed grenades 
While the people sent up prayers 
The father and child ran up the stairs
Aware death could be waiting there
She heard shots fires 
Then a pair of thuds 
Rolling down like tires 
Now all there was left was blood 
Where all they had was left
After theft of their homes
Came theft of their lives 
Two days past before the father died
While his child died immediately by his side
Still she returned to where she last reside 
To watch Mothers burry sons 
And children burry fathers
Where no one’s left that survived
Everyone still comes 
In spite of threat of the danger 
To gather where their family once together  
Now dismembered and severed 
Mourners pay their respects and remember 
Their lives before
In their heads
They all were a soldier

Bonjour,j'ai chopé cet air et ce thème sur les rochers des falaises de Pénestin,en Bretagne,bien sûr!!!. En rentrant,je me suis enfermé dans mon studio,j'ai écris et jouer un peu de musique!!!!. Je vous en livre le résultat en espérant vous embarquer avec moi sur ce vieux chalutier et son "Fameux Capitaine".......... Bien à vous,Mr. Madeleine.

Le vieux Capitaine.

This is a song I came up with, playing my five string fretless bass along with essentially a click track. I then invited everyone to share their talents on it, too. Ken (K2 and the Three, and K2 and the Four) came up with exactly the drums I was hoping for, strong and accentuating what I'm doing on the bass. JJ's (J.J. Terrell) keys gave it the character of a lighter, funkier jam and completely awakened a new sound within the song by adding a great, catchy riff that flows throughout. Tez (Llanpsych) added some magnificent guitar leads, as I've come welcomingly to expect from him. You can really hear his fiery guitar throughout the whole verse and first section, and at the end, too. Steve (Steve's Planet) added the vocals and wrote the original lyrics, too. His strong, creative singing really helped jump this into the category of a song, rather than a jam. He also showed us that he's willing to follow us anywhere creatively, and very boldly, too. Stephen (TexMex Shaman) added the wild, thrilling guitar solo in the crescendo section, as well as the guitar riffs at the end. He also brought the whole thing together by expertly and meticulously producing and mixing it. Ken and Tez both added some mastering to the final mix, too. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did putting it together.

Recorded some of this with one of my grandfathers SEARS microphone that I inherited 25 years ago along with a lot of Stan Getz and Benny Goodman/Buddy Rich records.  R.I.P. gramps and coincidentally that SEARS burned down long after he retired, and I had nothing to do with it! Well o.k. even though I was arrested for shop lifting a Loudness cassette(asian METAL) at 13 by two CIA level security guards posing to be a couple pushing a stroller, i swear i harbor no bitterness!. I remember being handcuffed and led out of the mall screaming I was innocent and didn't even like loudness!, Must of seemed funny to them as i was rocking a Loudness shirt...Sorry Gramps and all you 10 people that hear this can blame SEARS if the drums sound like shit on this one.

When I first heard this song on Kyle's (Ultrasonic Pest Repellant-- @ultrasonic_pest_repellent ) page, I immediately was drawn to it. I love the sitar, and he had just released a batch of unfinished sitar ideas. So, he let me play with this one. To his guitar, bass, sitar, and drums, I added an organ and a lap slide part. I really had a lot of fun with this one, as it was a real challenge to get right. If you're not familiar with Kyle's music, do yourself a favor and check it out! We hope you like our collaboration. 
Lyrics:
Cars crashing, windows smashing
God’s laughing to the sound of hurricanes and thunder
Blood splatters, nothing matters,
Need some answers to the questions we are asking
Within


Sitting at my seat, carpet at my feet
Patterns arranged so that the cycle is complete
Patterns made the blood has already has been stained
What’s happened once will happen again it’s been engrained


People clapping, limbs are snapping
Sinners lapping up the blood of the everlasting
Wind swirling, pages turning
Flesh burning as the sound of guns are blasting
Within

Within (with Ultrasonic Pest Repellant)

Light Breeze

a very short piece...

rims of light
upon the surface haze
reeling into it too
in the delicate
distant rays
on a pale afternoon

in the haze of 
a distant light
reeling into it too
in the delicate 
distant rays
on a pale afternoon

There are five houses.
The Englishman lives in the red house.
The Spaniard owns the dog.
Coffee is drunk in the green house.
The Ukrainian drinks tea.
The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
Milk is drunk in the middle house.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house"

Now, who drinks water?
Who owns the zebra?

RAISE THE FUNK (Vocals Urban Shokker) - Hans-Michael Albers / Paploviante (Prod. Lillithe)

This song is part of a bigger project. I really like making sets like “The Couch King Sofa Barn” and “The Horror Host” but they take a long time to make and I don’t think SoundCloud loves the long song format. A number of us are almost finished with another song in this project. I am excited to hear how the whole thing turns out. Massive thanks to everyone presently involved and all my future collaborators in these crazy visions. I hope everyone is having fun on the cloud. I feel like this can be a very fun time for the SoundCloud community as we have all matured and know ourselves in relation to music better. 

This song got started when another rapper first asked me to collaborate with him. He sent me a beat, but I tend to want to focus on original music from our community so I asked Joerxworx if he wanted to work on a beat with only horns in a New Orleans marching funeral band style. Joerxworx agreed and provided me with massive horns to work with! The other rapper was no longer interested by now in working with me so I asked Jon Lock if he wanted to join in and fortunately he agreed, cause I love his funky soulful vocal stylings! Russell did an amazing job mixing and mastering my sloppy drums and the rest of the track to perfection. I was also very fortunate that Wou-Wou & the Wormling was willing to collaborate on art work for this track, fully completing the spirit of community collaboration!

Everyone in our SoundCloud community rocks, don’t you think?!?!

Lyrics:

More slay
Wack MCs are getting slashed 
It ain’t easy being wack these days 
Ya get gnashed 
Lyrically grinded up 
Like left overs you get trashed 
I’m Hannibal lector on the mic 
While your rhymes are just ruff and ashy I be like
It puts lotion on its rhymes or else it gets the hose again
Then you get skinned with the precision of my pen 
Call me wolf and you play the hen 
When your all cooped up and shut in by major trends
I’m feral 
Escaped into the underground   
Where all ill MCs and beat makers find their proving ground
I don’t want to rap 
Without any scars
I don’t want to rap if can’t chop through the bars before 
Going out like ronin for the culture that’s been stolen 
Bandit pillaging MCs take heed 
To the master lyricism swordsmen  
 
Oh
I’ll make your heart go faint
Think your resistant until you aint
Close your eyes, move your feet
Here comes the rapture
I am your man
Close your mouth and drop your plan
There’s no need to fake it
Big daddy’s gonna make ya
Dance, twist and shout
Pull up those pants and take you out 
poetry and word play
Take you to the dance floor
Place my hand on the small of your back
I give you a joke and take a smack 
Sit your ass down and eat your snack
Marvel at the verbal fancy footwork 

We came to train to take back the reign from the wack  
We came to hone our skills on a ill horn track
We came to bring the reals and show the people what they lack
All wack MCs you best watch your backs
We bring the rhymes 
And we bring the beats 
And we bring good times
Cause we bring the heat
And we bring the noise 
Yea we bring the noise 
Lets all make some noise 
Lets all make some noise 
Come on 
Make, make some noise 
Let’s all
Make, make some noise 
Everybody
Make some noise
Make some noise

"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.
