WorldWide Cypher Jam Entry Feat. Termite

So pleased to finally release this.  Bill wrote this poignant heartfelt prose on the folly of Whaling,  a subject close to many people's hearts including mine. He offers tale of an oil spill and 13 whales who make an ultimate sacrifice to save the day. I added instrumental to the tale and we both took turns to narrate. Check out Bill's other amazing work here https://soundcloud.com/user-233624083 Many thanks to Mike at Thundertone Audio for a beautiful mix and master (mikekonopke.com)  This track is also currently being made into an audio visual piece by Sean Karemaker, who is known for his unique form of panoramic, sequential art stories that take various forms, including graphic novels, paintings, dioramas and virtual reality. https://www.seankaremaker.com/about

Facts about Whaling
Around 35,000  –  whales killed since the 1986 international moratorium on commercial whaling came into effect.
130 – number of western north Pacific gray whales in existence. Only around 30 are females of breeding age, making this one of the world’s most endangered whale species.
330,000 – blue whales killed in the Southern Ocean before the ban on commercial whaling. Today, there are thought to be only 2,300 blue whales left in the whole Southern Hemisphere.

Lyrics
Sitting on a rock, throwing stones
Climbed up here to be alone
Never going home
Never going home
Try to be the girl that you need me to be
But I just wanna be me
Just me
Never going home
It’s that time again
Get ready to take your seat for the 6 o clock show
Trying to eat
Lump in my throat
My crime
Label of my life
You want something to cry about
You disappointing child
I’m so heavily connected to rejection
Begin to resent the fake affection
Dressed as good intentions
Tainted with aggression
I’ll take my time
Wait for the light
To fade
Blood red to grey 
Desensitize
I’m gonna build my walls so high
No one can climb
And so I’m
Sitting on a rock throwing stones
Climbed up here to be alone
Never going home
Never going home
Try to be the woman that you need me to be
But I just wanna be me
Just me
Better go on home

Throwing Stones

An attempt to interpret a feeling experienced in a certain place.  To carry that feeling home to my studio and capture it.  
Sindy (my dog) told me (in woofs) I am actually experiencing pure joy, of which she is apparently an aficionado.  I was then told to "snap out of it throw the damn ball you soppy human."

Praa Sands

This is for my Dad.  For his love of diving.  He said the song took his breath away, he was drifting along in his mind, just above the Kelp beds off the shore of Oban, at peace with the world. Rest in peace now, wherever you are, and know you were loved, very much.

The Diver

Song for a rip roaring ride... or a fast drive

Ride

Started off as an earworm yesterday, so I recorded it last night.  Probs obsessed with it atm because its Easter Sunday and I got me some old time religion feels.  Love the Son House version best even though original was by Blind Willie Johnson.  Blues and gospel is a magical genre.

John The Revelator

A song for those lost to the sea and dedicated to the brave souls of the RNLI who risk their lives in dangerous conditions. Their motto...with courage, nothing is impossible.

Lost At Sea

A track from my album Ocean, made with the wonderful Sowena Sounds on violin. Full video here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-LYantQx9I

The Veil of the Sea ft. Sowena Sounds

Great to work with Mike again, the dark intensity he puts in to his work is incredible! AND we both love Massive Attack, so... Please check out Mike's music here @theanthropophobiaproject

No Place Like Home

Only through solidarity will we beat terror. Stay strong Manchester, Syria, London, Paris and everyone affected by hate.

Syrian Song

Rising Sun

This track takes me back to probably the best day I can remember.  
Cruising around Koh Samui on a beat up 600cc Chopper.
Then spending the night on a moonlit beach, staring up at The Milky Way.
The very best of days.

Moonlight Sea

I've been revisiting 90's New Wave/Post Punk music again lately, particularly Ultravox, OMD, Depeche Mode and Gary Numan, who are still popular artists today, a strong testament to their greatness.  This track reflects my current obsession with this era.

The Fade Away

Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves - Henry David Thoreau.

Beneath the Stones

Going in a darker direction for my latest offering, hold on to your hats...
Lyrics
Walk out my life
Your a bad dream
Cuts like a knife
You deny, I scream

You beg me to stay
I look at, the floor
I should walk away
Your hand's on the door

If I play your game will it ease my pain?
If I play your game will I lose or gain?

Will you wonder what your missing?
Will you wonder who I'm kissing?
Will you wonder who I'm hugging?
Will you wonder who I'm...

What?

Sweet words you say
Making me, unsure
Will this fade away?
Will there be, no more?

If I play your game will it ease my pain?
If I play your game will I be the same?

Will you wonder what your missing?
Will you wonder who I'm kissing?
Will you wonder who I'm hugging?
Will you wonder who I'm...

What?

I Wonder

Lyrics
Send me down the rabbit hole hunny
Send me down the rabbit hole
Send me down the rabbit hole hunny
Tired of running

Send me down the rabbit hole hunny
Send me down the rabbit hole
Poisoned chalice
Just like Alice

Miracle girl in her rehab blaze
Knows how bitter the ironic taste
Count the hours to the Morphine days
Ticking bombs running through her veins

Obsidian girl in her prison of fate
Should reveal her evanescent state
No more blue pills only the red to take
Alice killed as she was just too late

Send me down the rabbit hole hunny
Send me down the rabbit hole
Send me down the rabbit hole hunny
Tired of running

Send me down the rabbit hole hunny
Send me down the rabbit hole
Poisoned chalice
Just like Alice

Too late, too late, too late
How long is forever White Rabbit?
Too late, too late, too late
How long is forever White Rabbit?
Too late, too late, too late
Ticking bombs running through her veins
Too late, too late, too late
Ticking bombs running through her veins

Down again, send me down again (rep)
Send me down the rabbit hole (rep)

How long is forever White Rabbit?
Sometimes, just one second.

Special thanks to @DaveRonaldMusic for his generosity in offering his excellent mastering services on this track. Also thank you to Daisy P for her wonderful artwork.

Lyrics

You belong to me
Till I set you free

This one night only (you belong to me)
Make your love own me
Need you to show me (till I set you free)
Make your love own me

You belong to me
Till I set you free 
You belong to me

This brief encounter
That single hour
Gave me the power
To devour
Your pleasure and your pain

That deep attraction
That spiritual reaction
Giving me action
Satisfaction
Exploding in my veins

Feel how I want you (x3)
You belong to me
Till I set you free

This one night only (you belong to me)
Make your love own me
Need you to show me (till I set you free)
Make your love own me

This brief encounter
That single hour
Gave me the power
To devour
Your pleasure and your pain

That deep attraction
That spiritual reaction
Giving me action
Satisfaction
Exploding in my veins

That brief encounter
That single hour

That brief encounter
That single hour
Giving me power
Devour
The pleasure and the pain

Satisfaction

I want you baby

This is a beautifully languorous remix of my track Lose Your Mind from the wonderful https://soundcloud.com/quintsence released via https://soundcloud.com/deepdowndirty-111649731   His production skills are simply awesome and I love the clever blending of my original instrumental & vocal to create a sensual and ethnic vibe to this piece.  Please visit his page and show his excellent solo and collaborative work some love.

Lose Your Mind Quint S Ence & Skyline Tigers (Samsara Remix)

Really great to finally release this track which evolved into a complicated prog rock beast as we wanted to create a Tool vibe… we hope we achieved it. Lyrics are based on my own battles with inner demons linked with Jungian psychology exploring the id or shadow. Please check out my friend From Sands other fantastic work here @from-sands he is incredibly talented!
Lyrics
I must descend, for me to ascend 
regress to redress, the balance of my broken mind 
the shadow is suspending me from all that I intend to be
diving deep into the well to save the ghosts who dwell, 
I must descend, to bring me back to life
to bring me back to life
I must descend, for me to ascend
now the shadow is suspending me from 
all that I intend to be
sink back down to images of agony 
terror is my mirror 
of fear
suppressing time inside my mind
layers of repression 
testing the possession of the demons I keep inside
intent on override
shadow, my shadow lies over me (rep)
I despise the incubus deep inside, poisoning my soul, crawling inside me
deep down the well

Shadow - From Sands & Skyline Tigers

So great to team up with The Restless Natives again.  This time for a cover of local legends - Doves, The Cedar Room, from their Mercury Prize nominated album Lost Souls.  Our version has a more ethereal vibe and we were really stoked when we sent it to Jimi and he said he thought it was him in the chorus (I think, but I'll stand in for him if he's ill any day!).  Please check out more of their wonderful work here https://soundcloud.com/restless-natives-995509563

Here's the next chapter of our dark, melancholic tale of dystopia about two lost souls trapped in a dome they made to escape society, in which they are imprisoned following a nuclear holocaust. 
They discover the dome is failing and with it, their dream...

The beautiful soundtrack is all T.C. and the story was developed by Nexus and myself to explore their emotional journey to its inevitable conclusion. Please visit their pages for more of their excellent solo and collaborative work at @user-345599158 @user-645919354-865308826
