The limestone caves at Waitomo in New Zealand are a series of long passage tunnels eroded by water across aeons. The ‘Voice of The Spirit’ Cave is driven by the infrasonic pulsing of a distant subterranean river system which produces the deep vibrating voice at the cave entrance and creates nodes of vibrations within the large cave called the Cathedral. The Waitomo Caves, with it's mysterious stalactites and stalagmites, are renowned for their glowworms that light up the cave ceilings.  Glow worms are fascinating creatures, they only live up to 2 weeks after coming out their cocoons and are eventually devoured by their young.

The Cave

Song composed during an artist residency with the Fredericton Arts Alliance, 2021. Guitar music performed and composed by Bryan McDaniel. A song about the resiliency of the human spirit.

Glacial Melt

V1: Down by the Labrador
Icebergs, 10,000-year-old glacial giants
Snow white to deep aquamarine
Floating down the current to the warm gulf stream

Icebergs are edges of glaciers
Broken off and slipped into the ocean
90% below the surface of the sea
As deep and as hidden as a secret me

V2: Down by the Labrador
Icebergs, frozen giants, compressed snow and water
Crevasses a deep blue
and volcanic eruptions encased in ice cold.

Ocean currents hold me, waves forever blow me
As long as I am deep blue
Try to stop explosions, wind forever blowing
Ocean currents growing too.

V3: Far from the Labrador
Icebergs run aground and begin to start melting
Growlers by the shore
The water that is melting innocent and pure

I feel the force of currents,
my inner momentum
Ice bergs are unstable
but that’s not my story

Melting ice is stronger
Melting ice no longer
I become the ocean
By a warm gulf stream.

Glacial Melt

Nostalgia

In 2020, I presented W.E. (Bill) Bartolotto with a trilogy of incomplete songs asking if he would be interested in helping me finish them.   Bill was quite enthusiastic and so we began the process of collaboration which I am sure most Soundclouders are familiar with.   2 years later we have managed to come up with this track..
	The concept is based on Jack Vance's 1963 novel “The Eyes of the Overworld” and is, more or less, a discussion, partly of the nature of reality, and partly, of the reality of human nature.
	While the concept and music is mine, the lyrics are the combined effort of the two of us.

Full credit belongs to:
   	W. E. Bartolotta:  	vocals
	Ken Minty:  		vocals and all instruments except percussion
	Mike Konopka:	percussion, sound engineer, arrangement, mix and master

Lyrics:

Part 1:   Smolod Town
	where shall the overworld be found
	where shall all our dreams and promises touch ground
	even in our most wistful hour
	it is not wise to underestimate the power
	of gods that strive to be alive

	in Smolod town where marsh and tundra mix
	the huts are birds’ nests made of mud and sticks
	yet the folk walk proud, heads high, voices loud
	in Smolod town

	the village is the abode of squalid gnomes
	as unlovely, graceless as their homes
	yet fixed upon their eyes violet cusps disguise
	their poverty

	the vile stench of filth is everywhere
	it permeates the dark and clammy air
	yet the gnomes know not these spoils
	they conduct themselves as royals
	in Smolod town

 	
Part 2:   The Prince
	when the old one dies
		I shall wear the eyes of the overworld
	I’ll become a king
		I’ll have everything in the overworld
	on lotus fruit I’ll dine
		and drink the nectar wine of the overworld
	I’ll live just as I please in luxury and ease
		staring through the eyes of the overworld

	the lenses do not blind
		they project the mind to the overworld
	though my life’s been poor
		my senses know the lure of the overworld
	exquisitely divine, 
		all pleasures shall be mine in the overworld
	the quintessential scheme of paradise I’ll dream
		staring through the eyes of the overworld

	I’ve worked the barren soil,
		for fourty years I’ve toiled in the normal world
	thus I’ve earned the right
		to taste all the delights of the overworld
	I want to die like this:
		by surfeit of bliss in the overworld
	a prince ‘mongst princely peers to spend my final years
		staring through the eyes of the overworld


Part 3:   Wistful Hours
	where shall the overworld be found
	where do all our dreams and promises touch ground
	even in our most wistful hour
	it isn't wise to underestimate the power
	of gods that strive to be alive

	do you believe
	do you ponder and seek
	do you work endlessly
	to see through the overworld’s eyes

Eyes of the Overworld

Eyes Of The Overworld

Feverently denying taught religion, even though it brings you comfort. Extolling Darwinian evolution, whilst feeling comforted by phones, Fitbits and myriads of bio technologies.

Consciously avoiding the group photograph's, then pondering where you are when you see the resulting masterpiece. Ever wondering which action makes you more human.

comprehending inhumane, but struggling to grasp human.

Sometimes the human touch isn't enough.

My children seek blankets or cuddly toys to comfort them. When I seek comfort/familiarity or reassurance, music offers me warmth, either listening to, or recording. 

Thank you for sharing your music, or listening to mine.

I'm very lucky. ☮️

Wild Christopher & Unguided Express
“Join The Good Fight”

Women and children first.
It’s the wail of the siren’s call.
Hide in the secret.
passageways 
Built inside these walls

CHORUS 1 & 2
Stand up strong against these foreign invaders
Don’t know if these barriers hold
Believe and speak of better days
This will feed our souls
How long have we waited
How dark is the night
Give us the power for persuading 
The world to join the good fight

Violence unabated
What are the children to learn 
History repeating
Watch the world as it burns

Red rain from the sky
Run when you must
Red rain on the sidewalk 
Turning our homes into dust

CHORUS 3
Standing strong
 We will make it 
These barriers will hold
 We believe in happier days
 Believe it deep in our souls
How long we waited
 But there is light in the night
 Given our power for persuading
 The world has joined the good fight

And just now It’s almost over
 It’s the relief 
That’s in sight
 And once it’s really over
 Will we learn this time.

Don't Get Me Started  (Mackay)

Once settled in Artica Point, almost frozen, I watch the world happening fast, and I tell you about by singing five verses with different vocal styles, a main instrumental theme in progress all along, and some bits of the other songs in the album to keep it conceptual ;)

Letra  /  Translated Lyrics:

DESDE AQUÍ (HISTORIA CONTEMPORÁNEA)  /  FROM HERE (CONTEMPORARY HISTORY)

Ahora que estoy aquí congelado,  /  Now I’m frozen here,
observo el mundo por internet y radio.  /  I watch the world on internet and radio.
Todo sucede ahí abajo tan rápido,  /  Everything happens so fast down there,
que se aprecian claramente los cambios,  /  that changes are clearly appreciated,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Con mis constantes vitales al mínimo,  /  With my vital signs down to a minimum,
como viviendo una película,  /  like living in a movie,
soy capaz de comprender el mecanismo  /  I am able to understand the mechanism
de la evolución de nuestra civilización,  /  of the evolution of our civilization,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

El frío que congela mi cuerpo  /  The cold that freezes my body
… … no me permite llorar,  /  … … doesn’t allow me to cry,
pero mi corazón sigue caliente muy adentro, en algún lugar,  /  but my heart is still warm deep inside, somewhere,
y puedo al menos entristecerme por lo que veo al mirar  /  and I can at least feel sad about what I see when I look
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Ahora que lo comprendo todo  /  Now when I understand everything,
entiendo que todos somos iguales,  /  I realize we’re all the same,
que sentimos lo mismo aunque ninguno lo sabe.  /  and we feel the same although no one knows it.
Desde aquí me identifico con cada hombre,  /  From here I feel identified with every man,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Desde aquí me alegro de no estar ahí abajo.  /  From here I’m glad not being down there.
Esperaré a ver qué pasa dentro de cien años.  /  I’ll wait and see what happens a hundred years from now.
Mi cuerpo apenas será un poco más viejo,  /  My body will hardly be a little older,
pero sí cumpliré siglo y medio de sabiduría y tristeza,  /  but I will get a century and a half of wisdom and sadness,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.
