I get my best song ideas when I’m singing in the shower.  That’s how this started.  English to Japanese translation in the song description.

Silent Nemesis In The Mirror

A second edition, if you will, of David's "Angels". I am very grateful to David for trusting me with his music.  You can hear more of his peaceful guitar music

Common Cause 145 BPM

I experimented a bit with soft FM synths like my older NI FM8 and the Tone2 Nemesis and suddenly there was this 80's-like sound that Liliia Kysil lent her talented voice to.

Lyrics:
I can 't hold on any longer, it's torture 
Without you 

Cause On a golden thrown 
Or deep in muddy grounds
 It always seems to come back around  
To you 

My heart and my soul are dancing in the dark  
You light them up with a single spark 
All I need is you

All my life I've been running around 
Trying to find a lover that wants to be found 
And it's you 

Look into my eyes and tell me why we cannot be 
I remember the day that you fell for me, I'm trapped in our history 

All my life I've been running around 
Trying to find that lover that wants to be found 
And it's you

All my life I've been running around 
Trying to find that lover that wants to be found 
And it's you

Look into my eyes and tell me why we cannot be 
I remember the day that you fell for me,
 I'm trapped in our history 

Cause On a golden thrown
 Or deep in muddy grounds
 It always seems to come back around  
Cause On a golden thrown 
Or deep in muddy grounds
 It always seems to come back around 

 My heart and my soul are dancing in the dark  
You light them up with a single spark 
All I need is you

I can 't hold on any longer, it's torture 
Without you

A 20221128 Tom Laukemper Music Release

"Been Looking For You"

Tom Laukemper &  Liliia Kysil - "Been Looking For You"

Blueprint for track that became 'Sandycove Milk'.

Inspired by wondrous music by Conin, whose track 'Kitty's Wake' reminded of the rich clay of Joyce's 'Finnegan's Wake'. This track, about the opening pages of Joyce's Ulysses, borrows coffee spoons, forever those of T.S. Eliot, in an effort to add sweet milk...drawn from the milk-well of honeyed Sandycove.  The lyric speaker is, notionally, Stephen Daedalus. For practical purposes, the lyric speaker is James Joyce himself. His aim? To hit Haines for a guinea [a pre-decimal unit of currency] before heading to France on a ferry. Whilst Haines still feels guilty (sheepish) about having fired his pistol at an imaginary cat he thought he saw in the fireplace in the Martello tower in Sandycove (now the Joyce Museum....a sacred...magical place, whose attendant Joyce scholars told me about the Haines' imaginary cat episode....it is all true...yet also dovetails eerily with the first chapter of Ulysses).

The reference to Haines having consumed Absinthe is a narrative fiction, invented to offer an explanation for his dangerous behaviour. No peer reviewed evidence capable of demonstrating Absinthe has hallucinogenic properties, exists, to my knowledge.


Lyrics

[chorus]
Gotta learn me some Italian
Gonna get me a guitar
Gotta learn me some Italian
Gonna get me a guitar

Hellenise me now
She come and go
talking bout Michelangelo
there will be time
there will be time

do I dare to eat a quiche?
I shall wear enchanted trousers
and float upon the beach

I’m still dreamin
something happened last night

Haines downed a snot-green bottle of Absinthe
started shooting at his Schrödinger's cat
in the fireplace
looks real sheepish this morning
gonna hit him for a guinea [a pre-decimal unit of currency]
and get outta here
gliding on the Emerald sea
to Paris
with Haines’ guinea in my pocket
when I’m at sea

gonna go uptown now
hitting the top deck of this here Martello
gonna watch the mailboat
glide on an Emerald sea
gonna rest my shiny elbows
on the jagged granite
just leavin the harbour

and here comes stately Buck
bearing a bowl of lather
crossed razor and mirror as well
holding the bowl aloft
and intoning...intonin

Introibo ad altare Dei
sacred chalice
sacred cross
and now I’m lookin at the sea
Thallata...sweet mother
Hellenise me
mailboat clearin the harbour
rage of Caliban inside me
cos of Haines....[firing a gun inside the Martello tower when drunk the night before, at a giant cat he imagined was sitting near the fireplace]
sweet Thallata
buttercups on the quilt
powdered musk and gauds of amber beads
calm now like the sea
there will be time
there will be time

Martello

Millions of Lights 💡 何百万もの光

Scene 1 -

Siri:  It’s Wednesday March 15th, 2023 8:49 PM

I believe they call that the Ides of March
Funny, how history has a way of being a fortuitous glimpse of the present
I wanted to document this moment

Siri: 2023 年 3 月 15 日水曜日 20:49 です

彼らはそれを 3 月の Ides と呼んでいると思います
面白いことに、歴史は偶然に現在を垣間見ることができる方法を持っている
この瞬間を記録したかった

Scene 2 - 

My baby talk a lot of shit about me
But talk is cheap and that’s the word up on the street
Cybernetics stunt my personality
I’m disconnected from this reality 

私の赤ちゃんは私についてたわごとをたくさん話します
しかし、話は安っぽく、それが巷で話題になっている
サイバネティックスは私の人格を狂わせます
私はこの現実から切り離されています

Scene 3 -

A million lights burning bright in the city
It looks so nice at night it’s so pretty
Your guilty face tell it all from the beginning
I play along you don’t need my opinion

100万個の灯りが街を照らす
夜が綺麗でとても綺麗です
あなたの罪悪感が最初からすべてを物語っています
私はあなたに私の意見は必要ありません

Scene 4 - 

We are slaves inside of a simulation
God knows they all worshipping Satan
A maze of conduit constructed by the masons
Bright lights in the city it’s amazing

私たちはシミュレーションの中で奴隷です
神は彼らが皆サタンを崇拝していることを知っています
メイソンによって構築された導管の迷路
街の明るい光は素晴らしいです

Scene 5 -

I’m pinging towers confessing my location
The evil’s of being born into the grid young
At night I can see where all the stars start
Light pollution don’t make it to my backyard

私は自分の居場所を告白する塔にpingを打っています
グリッド・ヤングに生まれる悪
夜にはすべての星がどこから始まるかを見ることができます
光害は裏庭には届かない

Scene 6 - 

This life of mine stored on a flash rom card
Crash the system got the admin pass prompt
Incandescent glowing red wire
Luminescence the world’s a hellfire

フラッシュROMカードに保存された私のこの人生
システムがクラッシュし、管理者パス プロンプトが表示されました
白熱光る赤いワイヤー
Luminescence the world's a hellfire

Scene 7 - 

Their amber waves of light 
Cover everything in site
And I can’t sleep at night 
Watching me with their satellites in flight
Candelabra in my hand at twilight

琥珀色の光の波
サイト内のすべてを網羅
そして夜も眠れない
飛行中の衛星で私を見ている
夕暮れに手にした燭台

Scene 8 -

There’s a million ways to die
Under the blackness of sky 
They want access to my life
They can’t have it, I’m turning off the lights

100万通りの死に方がある
空の闇の下
彼らは私の人生にアクセスしたい
彼らはそれを持つことができません、私はライトを消しています

Foratroca

I was sampling some interesting items, and wanted to create a track with it. Also I actually wanted to keep it minimal, but much like my garden, it kinda overgrew a bit 😸

This has a video now: https://youtu.be/2IdnjzO0sFI

Antheia

Retooling for the future, I’ll be back soon.

All works for this project have been created in Korg Gadget 2 using an iphone and assorted ipads.  Lyrics are an SOS message sent from a future timeline.
