Mixed for Lillithe

My sincerest gratitude to Nick R. Davies for his amazing skills as a writer and novelist.

We left late in the night with all the other kids from the street.  It felt exciting and strange. Strange because Mama was scared and Tato wasn't with us. Mama said he needed to stay to make us safe like all the other fathers. She kept holding me into her and rubbing my back. The bus was cold and noisy, some of the children crying, some singing and shouting. We left Brovary in the pitch dark and once the bus quietened a little I looked out of the window for cars and lights,  but there were few. I counted bridges. I remember five but I was sleepy and couldn't be sure. Our journey seemed to last forever. Each time we stopped I would ask Mama whether we were close,  but I don't think she knew. She was checking her phone a lot, but I think Tato must have been busy. I talked to my doll when Mama wouldn't talk to me anymore.

We arrived in Lublin in the early morning.  It was snowing and there was a big crowd of people.  They gave us food and blankets. I couldn't understand what they were saying. I had a hot chocolate and cake before we were taken to a hotel.

When I heard Mama on the phone and then crying, I was frightened. She went to cry on her own in the bathroom and I was sad I couldn't help. I left the hotel and walked for miles. I found a bridge. There were only four more to find before I could get back to Tato. I started calling for him. Over and over and over..with each step into the dark cold night.

When Mama and her friends found me, I was still calling for Tato.  I told Mama there were only four more bridges. No dear, she said, crying and shaking..there were many more you didn't see..there are too many bridges to see Tato. Too many bridges now and for a long time.

=====================================


Music is a means of communication. I don't know if I have conveyed all the sensations that this photo has produced in me: pain, anger, sadness, anguish, and endless sensations full of desolation.

In these complicated days I remember all the good Ukrainian musicians whom I follow here, to whom I wish the best of luck, to their families and to their country.

Created in March/April 2022.

18 MS2 tracks with native instruments and from the Xewton forum.

7 Sunrizer tracks.

3 Korg iM1 tracks

Made in ipad.

Thanks for listening and commenting.

The title is inspired by by these lyrics from Modest Mouse: "Language is the liquid that we're all dissolved in..." from the song Blame it on the Tetons off the album Good News for People Who Love Bad News.

For my oldest daughter who never likes to say "goodbye" but prefers to say "love ya, see ya".  Thanks to Debbie Buesking for giving this reissue of a song I posted a while back a rejuvenating lift and a whole new feel only she can do.  More of her fine music can be found @debra_buesking.   Also a shoutout to Annie Smart who graced the original with her superb lyrics and vocals; soundcloud.com/annie-smart-1/dont-say-goodbye-by-david-dunham-and-annie-smart.  Jose Castro has also put forth a beautiful vocal interpretation using mine and Debbie's version: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/dont-say-goodbye/comment-1727452658

Don't Say Goodbye with Debbie Buesking, piano

My Roller Coaster Girl

An unconscious exploration of the conflict and growth at the birth of a season, also the conflict within myself as I explore this art form further. I had no idea what was going to be explored within the music until it happened.
Helen x

Our process started off with a simple repeating chord progression on the piano for Helen to improvise over. We gradually added more elements once the vocal parts were complete and the final element is a field recording of the dawn chorus, recorded at 5am in our back garden.

Impatient awakenings

Our so-called consciousness is nothing more than a kind of sleepwalking for the mind and yet more sleep than change.

Awareness

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

It sucks to get old, but it beats the alternative.

GETTING SOMEWHERE

About time 
Could it be there’s not enough
About love
The rush and the loss
About me
The highs and the lows
About us

All the missed opportunities
The places you didn’t go
The people you never held
All the lost laughs

You’re getting your fair share
If only you dare
You’re getting somewhere
If only you dare

About joy
Did I spread enough
About happiness
Did I live it up
About time
About time for me
About us

Time to punch in your ticket
There’s one final show
Time to empty your bucket
Let loose let go

Somewhere…

You’re getting your fair share
If only you dare
You’re getting somewhere
If only you dare
Somewhere
You’re getting there
Somewhere
You’re getting there

Somewhere
You’re getting somewhere
Somewhere
You’re getting somewhere

Getting Somewhere

This is not a song about Marilyn Monroe.
It’s about a fiery relationship they came to an end between two people in which she screams in a melt down  and quotes a famous line from Marilyn Monroe.

If you can’t handle me at my worst then you don’t deserve me at my best !

BackdoorParadigm

Backdoor paradigm
Pushing the new into the then
Backdoor paradigm
So what if it is
Let’s do it again
Backdoor paradigm
We make it all
make it all up 
Backdoor paradigm
We make it all
make it all up 
Yeah   

twisting a hologram
to access the tower
keys in the wrist
pulsing with power
there’s no true truth
like the next step
over the line 
right up to the new
another laboratory slip
it was us at the start
cat claw in the tongue
is not the only some one
back stage pantomime
going through possibilities
of another seeder key door / way
to 
exploding 
mice
yeah 

Backdoor paradigm
Pushing the new into the then
Backdoor paradigm
So what if it is
Let’s do it again
Backdoor paradigm
We make it all
make it all up 
Backdoor paradigm
We make it all
make it all up

Rapture - Music & Vocal Improv's by REKHA IYERN [Fe]

Cover Art Design - Photos, Self Portrait, Solarium Lights & Graphics by REKHA - IYERN [Fe]

Compose & Produced, Recorded & Performed, Mixed & Mastered at IYERN [Fe] Reocords in CANADA.

A song about how the Queen is ever so proud and endlessly intoxicated...she is in a state of elated-ecstasy because of the miraculous fact that her King is a Good King, born to instil goodness on earth and beyond.  She will follow her Good King until the end of time...She has nothing but deep spiritual soul to soul devotion-admiration for her one and only beautiful King & of course the feelings dwell inside her, the passion fire never ending but rather only escalating. The almighty Lord Shiva says destruction will never win! One could believe that Shiva is King and his loyal goddess wife-is Parvati Queen. Hope you all enjoy this cosmic number!

I Know everything is bad feat IPG1 / Dominiquefrench & Bruce Conover / Debra Buesking

Another composition recorded before the war. I hope one day I will return to my home studio. Any support from you is much appreciated on these extremely hard times for our country, our family. 
I could have recorded much new music for the last 9 months... unless russians came to our yard to "save" us with their tanks, missiles, bombs and war planes at 4 a.m. on Feb 24th. And yes, they saved us from our house, from our normal life, from our dreams and plans. They saved my elderly parents from their home and peaceful life in retiring, saved my daughter from happy childhood, from school, from her friends and vacation by the sea. We'll never forget and never forgive it! I'm sure that russia will get what it deserves - each rocket they launch on Ukraine will turn to another 10 years of disaster for their cowardly people.
 Special thanks to Houman (@houmans) for mastering the track! Please check out his wonderful soundtracks.

Gone

(Written by Terry Reeves)
Terry Reeves: Lead Vocals
Gary Reeves: Drums, Cajon
Hans Albers: All other instruments, Arrangement & Production

This was one of those songs that was inspired by something Hans wrote,  prompting an idea of the movement of water representing the melding of musical ideas.

Whilst we were working on “Release The Ashes”, he sent me a working arrangement in an email, signing off with the words "Love from The Elbe to The Thames”.  Friends and family often say things that spark song ideas and this poetic  greeting stuck in my mind.

I looked at a map that showed The Elbe flowing into The North Sea and The Thames into the Estuary a little to the south and imagined the two bodies of water flowing toward each other, intertwining back and forth, much as the song ideas between Hans, Gary and myself are inclined to do when we’re working on something.

So I have to thank Hans on two counts, both for bringing the idea to mind and also for the arrangement he created, which to me is very special.  Hope you do too.  Many thanks for listening.

The river runs from Elbe toThames
Connection between distant friends 
North Sea growing back and forth
Mixture giving and taking at source 

A watery song with dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance 
Avoiding tide resistance

Mersey mixture in history and song
Salt water blends and tries to belong
Move East to West, North To South
Trickle of ideas by word of mouth

A watery song and dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance 
Avoiding tide resistance

River to river to river to river to river...

Tidal transfer of words and music
Echoing sounds, a demo acoustic 
Treaty of Versailles to Parliament plaque 
Rules of agreement, musical track

A watery song and dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance
Avoiding tide resistance

The river runs from Thames to Elbe
Passing secrets, some to be held
Musical water with mixture to last
Ferry sails sea with historical past 

A watery song and dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance
Avoiding tide resistance

River to river
River to river
River to river to river to river….
