This song works on so many levels. A day in the life. A year in the life. A literal forest. The environment. The rhymes an the chorus are also just spot on.

Nice feel.... easy to listen to...takes me away...Nikki Dean

Perfect image of a feeling captured in a song. The slows and pauses and restarts are so exactly how my heart and mind go. Especially the "getting through", and so vocally honest.

when you release a project this one must be included. Its therapeutic peaceful and calming. We need such songs as these right now. Posted Just nowJust now Reply

Well I listened twice in a row and still want to hear it again. Partly bc these lyrics are so intriguing! I love the multiple possibilities of interpreting the little hook which I won't even type in here so other people can concentrate through listening too :) As Niki said, this is good therapeutic listening. Wishing I could go hear you in a coffeeshop for two hours!

Getting some Josh Ritter vibes here with the storytelling - and the bit at the end about doing laundry reminds me of a song from @user-453682133 from earlier this year. Really beautifully done here, Kent, I dig it.

This is different and very original. The tempo changes, stops and starts keep you interested throughout. I like the absence of a chorus, marked by brief silence at the end of the opening section, raelly emphaises the line.

Sun goes up,
Sun goes down,
So I'm told
And I am curled into some place
Of absency,
Weighty,
Sciamachy,
And every face peers  back at me.

You know my whys.
You'd have me believe
That I'm a Matisse, upon my knees.
So I thank the skies
For the bit and bow
In shapes of lullabies that open home.
I will sing you home...

You look so good inside.
Who am I in the colours
That i am twirling through?
Til I lay my horse-drawn eyes on you, my love,
My ears are broken.
You look so good inside.
Liquefied
To the gold that trickles out of you.
So the sun would give her core for you, my love.
Her core for you, my love.
Her core for you, my love.

Hi and welcome to the 4th track by "Then She Reaches For The Gun". Huge thanks to all the artists involved. Once again its great to have new artists involved ! Its humbling that so many people want to be part of this madness : ) 

The project’s inspiration is two fold: Firstly its a homage to some of the stuff i grew up listening to like Mr. Bungle and other noisy bastards where anything goes, and often in quick fire succession and secondly it” a chance to work with an never ending stream of talented musicians that i have known for years either in real life Australia or via the Internet. Each track will no doubt change depending on who has sent me what. 

This track is titled This Misunderstanding Suggest Tenderness
 Its a phrase i saw in the comment section on one of Ilaria Boffa’s wonderful Sonopoetry, and from that Ilaria expanded and wrote the poem that opens and closes this work.

This Misunderstanding Suggest Tenderness features 

Ilaria Boffa - Poetry
Primaloop  - Drums/Percussion
Dani Kirby - Piano
Vartch - Voice
Holy ShitShow - Midi Strings
Axel Weiss - Guitar
TexMex Shaman - Talkbox
Chicago Word Brigade - Electronica/Keyboards
Martin Pozdrowicz - Sample Pad
Wüst - Electronica/Keyboards
Me -Midi Woodwinds/Noise/arrangement

If you would like to be part of this ongoing project

The process is simple, I collect a bunch of random recordings from people and then see what i can arrange from it. Nothing subtle here, just huge noisy fun : ) I am open to anyone that thinks they might like to be part of this mess. Drop me a message and i will send you my email. The only criteria is that i wont be using samples from TV/film/other music etc, so just original stuff played on instruments, field recordings, stupid drunk conversations etc. Cheers!

寂寞に無機質が鳴く
人影はただの黒いシミか

真っ白い眼にひとつ映り込んだ
花束を持っている様にみえた

あれは　誰か
誰かに　みえた

無常には人影は無く
白い砂　ひとつ握りしめて

SEIZURES - Revenant Jimbo

When you come to the bend
Road carries on
When you think it's the end
Look to the Son
When you move past the weight
Life carries on
And we know He's never late

Lead me on
Lead me on

Looking past all the pain
Road carries on
When the sun turns to rain Look to the Son
He will take the clouds all away
Life carries on
Ands we know He's never late
Lead me on
Lead me on

Lead Me On

CITY OF GOLD

ACCESSION [Early Mix]

this time I used Ableton to elaborate this musical idea, however the first with this daw, which I find very interesting on a functional level. shame about the workflow, but unlike cubase it is definitely designed for a live environment. as a first experiment not bad, I hope it is the first of a long series.
