I like the contrast between the simple chorus and denser verses - all pack one hell of a whallop! Well done here, Kent.

This is the first time I realized that it is "Mourning Dove" rather than "Morning Dove." This song is completely awesome. The recurring broken glass metaphor carries well throughout the song... Especially the line, "I mean it’s a mess but at least it’s clear." The increase in pacing as the song progresses works really well, too.

Morning doves made for mourning -so beautiful. Love your signature guitar style - this one is jam packed with powerful imagery on brokenness. Powerful. 

Broken hearts, broken glass such powerful imagery and that line about the kitchen floor is so powerful. Very emotive.

Wow! Those words is sooo powerful and too the point. Great guitar riff too. Sounds like it has great commercial possibilities...

the "sober up" and "new year coming" lines reminded me of the way a new year's eve can feel in a really cold climate after a party (hard to describe that without experiencing it but this song does it very well)... lots of hoping for connection and comfort in the cold winter when we're single and a sense that a new year's party will be real excitement compared to the bleak gray days of winter above 40 degree latitude or below negative 40 latitude. Neat to have a song register so many memories like this.  Nicely done Kent.

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!

This Misunderstanding Suggests Tenderness

Let’s try to sober up
It’s gonna be a long night going like this
And even the mourning doves
Know better than to fly back where they came from

‘Cause we’ll fall in love
And I’ll break your heart

Let’s try to sober up
Tomorrow’s coming like brand new year
And even the broken glass on the kitchen floor
I mean it’s a mess but at least it’s clear

‘Cause we’ll fall in love
And I’ll break your heart

Make us wish
We never made a start
And we’ll go back
To unpacking
All the reasons
It might have happened

We’ll fall in love
It’ll fall apart
Broken glass
And broken hearts
A sober second
Thought of warning
That mourning doves
Were made for mourning

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.
