Saudade Vem Correndo

Buckethead - Botnus Solo cover

A little improv I did based on Cream's "Tales of Brave Ulysses"

You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.
And the colours of the sea bind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses,
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.
And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise,
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave Ulysses, how his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing.
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.

Psychedelic Rock Improv (Cream)

Decided to record something short today. "Structured improvisation" as per usual.

Passing By

All solos were improvised. Well, actually to be honest, the whole song was just improvised. Things got a little trippy.

East Meets West

New song! Continued experimenting with recording techniques and this is what happened. I also played some harmonica at the end. Yup

Sun Kissed

Satori

My first attempt at making a Pink Floyd-esque space rock tune.

Instrumental Rock

Déjà Vu

*The vocals are intentionally subdued in shoegaze* ;)

Hey everyone!

I've been gone for a while, but I'm back now and I brought a new shoegazing tune with me! 

I hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:

My pocket watch suddenly stopped ticking
Two frozen hands held; kissing.
Twenty-one red rubies
Oh, Golden Beauty

I wound the watch to resuscitate it
Revive it from suffocating
Hoping it would breathe alive, 
to shout out the time

when you arrive

My hopes were shattered glass left unswept
The blinding light reflects itself
We'll hold hands with love in air
And sing Her melody

Golden Beauty

So I plunged myself into the sea
Gripping the waterproof clock tightly
Twenty-one red rubies
My Golden Beauty

Holding Hands

another 10 yr old sample i found of myself

Moon

When I look at you
Oh, I don't know what's real
Once in a while
And you make me laugh

And I'll see you tomorrow
And it won't be long
Once in a while
Then you take me down
Then you walk away

When you say 'I do'
Oh, I don't believe you
I can't forget it
No

When you sleep tomorrow
And it won't be long
Once in a while
When you make me smile
When you turn your long blonde hair

When I look at you
Oh, I don't know what's real
Once in a while
And you make me laugh

And I'll sleep tomorrow
And it won't be long
Once in a while
Then you take me down
When you walk away

I rely heavily on improvisation for all of my recordings. Somewhat experimental.

My music is meant to be listened to in stereo, so if you don't have two speakers, you should pop on some headphones.
