Dick sent me this great instrumental long ago, full of details and different sections. I was too busy then, now I've enjoyed working on it at last !!

https://soundcloud.com/oorlab: composition, drums, bass, synths, guitars... everything before 0:20 and most after that.
https://soundcloud.com/ruizzoidman21centurions: lyrics, vocals, lead guitar, pocket sax, and 40 years old school flute.

Letra  / Translated Lyrics:

(Coro:  /  Choir)
De coger café yo vengo  /  From collecting coffee I come
A coger café voy  /  To collect coffee I go

(Solista:  /  Lead:)
Quisiera ver lo que no vi,  /  I’d like to see what I didn’t see,
quisiera ir donde no fui,  /  I’d like to go where I didn’t go,
quisiera hacer lo que nunca hice…  /  I’d like to do what I never did…
… pero veo lo que no se ve,  /  … but I can see what cannot be seen,
voy donde nadie nunca fue,  /  I go where no one ever went,
y hago lo que no hace usted. /  and I do what you don’t do.

De Coger Café (with Oorlab)

This is an old Neil Young song from his album On the Beach. The very talented Chris Maness is on guitars and high vocals, while I'm on bass, synth, banjo, and low vocals. The rhythm is a looper I boosted from BandLab. I've always loved this song and used to sing it to my son in his crib. We hope you enjoy it as well.

Greetings my SC friends. I have a fun one to share with you today. In fact, it might exceed the legal limits for perky and quirky… so don’t go driving under the influence. :D

So here we are, choking down the remainder of January 2023 (try it with the honey mustard. It goes down a lot easier). Here in the US, many of us are trying to make the most of this potentially quieter year, as we count down to what I like to call Apocalyptageddon (otherwise known as the 2024 Presidential Election).

Despite (or perhaps in the face of) the ‘OMGHOLYSHITARGH!!!’ going on everywhere, I’m seeing the most interesting evolutions in this community. And it’s not just me noticing this. I’ve recently read quite a few comments about how much people have grown creatively. I’m seeing huge strides in the musical skills and songs of so many of our SC friends, many in just the past year. And I have a theory for why that is… and I am prepared to demonstrate…

Imagine for a moment that you are a human being with feelings. Someone comes up to you and says “I love who you turned out to be. You have a great mind and a great imagination. Your creations are quite magical. And I really want to spend more time in your space, seeing what you do next.”

If you’re like me, and I know I am (line blatantly stolen from a favorite MST3K), positive reinforcement like that is tremendously motivating. I can’t wait to get back to my creative space to see if I can make something even more awesome the next time. I know to a certain degree, that’s just me feeding my ego. But let’s face it. Ego is the Operating System we have been provided in this lifetime; and it does love to feed (it’s overfeeding that leads to bloating, so just try to keep to healthier serving sizes).

Now imagine again that you are one of those peeps with feels. Someone comes up to you and says “You suck. You’re worthless. You always will be.”

I personally find this slightly less motivating. And if you already have a less than ideal self esteem, that kinda crap sinks in deep and destroys confidence.

I think the point I’m trying to make is, the human experience isn’t meant to be a hermit-like adventure. I’m pretty sure loving ourselves for just being us may be one of the highest achievable goals. But as long as the ego is in the pilot’s seat, we need interaction (both verbal and physical). We need validation. We need to feel like our lives are meaningful. And we get that from each other. But it’s important to remember a subtlety… we also have the privilege of giving that to each other. And giving might actually be more beneficial to the soul than getting, where this gift is concerned.

This is where so many of you come in. You are the kind and loving voices, letting people know they’re doing great. You take the time to remind them, their creative explorations are worth the effort. Many of you motivated me to try harder through positive reinforcement, and even direct guidance. And I happily watch as you continue to do the same for the folks just starting up. You’re a beautiful bunch of people, and I admire you greatly. 

So please, you wonderful souls, keep doing what you’re doing; both being creative and being supportive. We all benefit from the kindness this group generates. We are all inspired to be better people through the actions of those who help us out along the way. You are all a huge positive influence in my life, and I hope I can be the same for you. Let’s make 2023 obnoxiously loving, friendly and funny. Let’s brighten this world again, dancing naked on the dining room table, a rose clamped tightly between our teeth.

I hope you enjoy my latest sonic meandering ‘Choosing Our Own Adventure’. :)

WTF! The Musical

Choosing Our Own Adventure

We are very happy to present today a great singer and songwriter, as well as a sensational musician and producer named Richard Gonfrier. With him we have had a great musical connection that has been transformed into this wonderful pop song called "Just Tell Me More".
From MTM we are very grateful to Richard, his girlfriend Delphine for making the cover, the great work done, how professional he has been and what a wonderful person that despite the distance we have intuited at all times that he is.
We are nobody to say it, but I hope that Richard can allow us to express that ... surely a person very close to him and who has recently left for another wonderful place, will be listening to him with great pride.

“Body Count” is a venom-laced rap exorcism forged from horrorcore imagery, lyric density, and apocalyptic symbolism. This track blends vampiric mythology, cybernetic metaphors, and psychological warfare into a single assault of language. Every bar cuts like a ritual blade, every verse reads like scripture burned into concrete.

From Dracula’s skin and the Lazarus Pen to lexiconic Megatron and cybernetic wordplay, this song operates as both attack and autobiography. It is spiritual warfare disguised as battle rap, philosophy hidden inside violence poetry, and rage sharpened into rhythm. The writing moves between monstrous bravado and existential collapse, merging occult aesthetics with trauma coding and sci-fi chaos.

If you’re drawn to dark lyricism, myth-infused rap, or cerebral brutality layered with emotional decay, “Body Count” is built for your bloodstream. This is not background noise. This is confrontation music. A sermon carved into distortion. A survival hymn written in acid rain.
