Having battled for several pretty intense days finally resurrecting a long dead Fairlight VT-5 for a client in the workshop I ended up having one of those stranger moments fortunately with the recorder running to capture the moment.  During testing I had gotten curious and wondered what would happen if I fed the output of the synth the Fairlight Voicetracker was driving back into the VT-5.. I'd started recording some drones and, to my surprise, the feedback ended up basically causing the VT-5 to self-write this tense half-note laden string overdub sequence in sympathy with it almost like something straight out of some gritty 70s action crime thriller!

Recording & Composition D.A.Wilson, Hideaway Studio 2022.

This song was inspired by "The Cold Heart" (German: Das kalte Herz), a fairy tale written by Wilhelm Hauff. It was published in 1827 in a collection of fairy tales that take place within the narrative of The Spessart Inn.
Although written almost 200 years ago, the described conflicts of mankind are still up-to-date, maybe even more than before. Preferring status und prosperity over humanity is something which has become socially acceptable.

Special thanks for prelistening and precious ideas to my dear friend Gary Reeves!

Lyrics
Peter was in the charcoal business
never in peace with the live he was living
made a deal with the forest spirit
Three wishes and a new life given

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity
 
Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

It did not play out like you were whishing for
glassworks went down and you needed much more
sold your heart to Dutch Mike to keep living
a heart of stone and the fortune you were given

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity

Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

Flourishing business kept you going
but your smile was eternally frozen
when your drivers faded and you had murdered love
nothing left there but an empty heart

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity

Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

Stone Cold Heart

Well the moon’s on the move, and it’s soon going to hit the earth
And the foosball crew from the UN will lose in the end
And the news isn’t true, and the truth isn’t new, it’s the same
And the view’s out of use, so just screw anyone who needs the frame
You’re trying to get it but, you don’t
You’re trying to end it but, you won’t

Hey, lord
Hey, lord

I’m just trying to make it out alive my friend
The naked truth is that you’re out of line my friend
It pays to sue, but the countersuits might win
So don’t get fooled by the kind of suit I’m in
I mean I wanna do some stuff to you that’s kind of screwed up
I mean I’ll fuck you in two thousand ways like Kama Sutra
I mean I’m trying to do my part, and you are what? Who knows
It doesn’t matter if you’re true or not, you know
You’re trying to sit it out, but you won’t
We got the city now and, you don’t
You don’t

Ends Meet

"Seeker's Frustration" is an ambient electronic track inspired by a vivid dream, capturing the frustration of an endless quest and elusive desires. This personal piece reflects inner conflicts and themes from Carl Jung's theories, such as the clash between desires and practicality. Initially hesitant to share, I released it to see how it resonates with others. Explore the surreal depths of this dream

I'm an avant-garde musician. I like to experiment with software, instruments, and everyday objects when creating on a song.

Music is my latest artistic passion; aside from being deeply invested in making music, I create digital art, drawings, paintings, mixed-media pieces, photography, photomanipulations, poetry, and short stories. All of which can be found on my DeviantArt: Leehon.

Thank you for reading and listening.
