This Is My Time (manu305)

Endless fun working with @TexMex-Shaman on these "Texas Tea" songs and wow this is possibly one of my favorites of the 14(!) songs we've done to date. Check out the full playlist here: https://soundcloud.com/texmex-shaman/sets/texas-tea-sea

We're considering doing a wider release of our favorite tracks on Spotify etc. soon, maybe BandCamp as well. Stay tuned and I hope you enjoy this epic high-energy genre fusion!

The Texas Tea Industrial Bluegrass Experience

dans le recueil "à la lumière d'hiver", Philippe Jacottet, cet immense poète, a écrit un poème en 8 versets sur la parole, essence même du poétique. J'ai tenté ici d'en mettre deux en musique.
PAROLES
PARLER (6 ET 7)
6
J’aurai voulu parler sans images, simplement
pousser la porte…
                                        J’ai trop de crainte
 pour cela, d’inquiétude, parfois de pitié
On ne vit pas longtemps comme les oiseaux
dans l’évidence du ciel,
                                                  et retombé à terre,
On ne voit plus en eux précisément que des images
ou des rêves.
7
Parler donc est difficile, si c’est chercher…chercher quoi ?
Une fidélité aux seuls moments, aux seules choses
qui descendent en nous assez bas, qui se dérobent,
si c’est tresser un vague abri pour une proie insaisissable.

Si c’est porter un masque plus vrai que son visage
pour pouvoir célébrer une fête longtemps perdue
 avec les autres, qui sont morts, lointains ou endormis
encore, et qu’à peine soulèvent de leur couche 
cette rumeur, ces premiers pas trébuchants, ces feux timides
-nos paroles : 
bruissement du tambour pour peu que l’effleure le doigt
inconnu.

Philippe Jacottet

TALK (6 and 7)
6
I would have liked to speak without images, simply
push the door...
                                        I'm too afraid
 for this, of anxiety, sometimes of pity
We don't live long like birds
in the evidence of heaven,
                                                  and fell to the ground,
We see in them precisely only images
or dreams.
7
To speak, then, is difficult, if it is to seek... Looking for what?
A fidelity to the moments alone, to the only things
who descend into us low enough, who evade,
if it is to weave a vague shelter for an elusive prey.

If it is wearing a mask that is more real than your face
to be able to celebrate a long-lost holiday
 with the others, who are dead, far away or asleep
and which scarcely rise from their bed 
this rumor, these first stumbling steps, these timid fires
-Our words: 
rustling of the drum as soon as the unknown finger
 touches it

Philippe Jacottet

bruissement de paroles

For this the Moog Spectravox had my attention, I was having problems in my studio and something wasn't quite right with this unit. Fearing I had a faulty machine I removed from the rack and tested from my desk. The problem was discovered to be the cable from the synth to the mixer. A much less expensive fix. It can be heard very clear at the end of this piece.

liner notes: this song took some maze-walking to arrive at its destination. our album of collaborations on bandcamp ( https://stonerjazz.bandcamp.com/album/up-up-out ) spawned a sonic thank-you card from Jeff. the lyrics came together fast and dirty from both Jeff and I.  soon, we had enough material for several parts. references to literature and history spanned all around us like a rainbow bubblegum bubble inflated by the selfish lungs of a baby dictator. at some point, even a common friend joined our efforts which then led to side-projects being spawned. all of this turned into a creative tornado driven by such an energy that I could not stand it anymore and withdrew to the sidelines .... and just a few days later, Jeff shared this beauty with all new music to our common lyrics. jeff, my friend, you're a ****** genius! Generously, Jeff indulged me in accepting the suggestion for a cover image I produced - based on a Budapest statue I photographed in 2011. no, the world is not spinning as fast as our creative processes -  but you need a darn good stomach for sure .... and hope still sits somewhere in the dark looking out, wide-eyed. jo

A Makeshift Life--co-written by Jo Richter and Jeff Gardiner

we do not need a future
we do not need a past
the eagle glides where people fall
Oceana Oceana Oceana , Eurasia

a makeshift life
instructions not included
do you want to sing along
with a wordless song
that goes like this--
blah blah blah
blah blah blah

carved from duty
eugenic beauty
Hugo Boss is your tailor
ordained and named in the mainframe

look at the broken plans you fixed
or all those cigarettes you smoked
think about the dogs you might have known
or those Righteous fights you fought
or friends who've come and gone
does it matter or does it not-

it’s another helpless history day
and that genie in the laptop has had his say
just check the box is still okay
just check Pandora’s box is still okay

So This Is Spring

So this is Spring
You can feel it within
Love keeps on giving
Birds whistle and sing
In the first day of Spring

Faces that smile
New Wave and new style
Look at the colors
Listen to the sound
Daffodills and Bluebells
Are covering the ground

So this is Spring
You can feel it within
Love keeps on giving
Birds whistle and sing
In the first day of Spring

So This Is Spring. Torbjørn Vagle and Oddrun Eikli
