dig this bass section right here! cool minimal style!

We had met for a jam session without plan and purpose during the last sunny Saturday afternoon last year. By the time of this recording, we hadn't known that soon we would want to go for pee break, that the studio door is self closing, that the key was left in the studio, and that we would end up with nothing but the clothes on ourselves, one face mask and a bit of cash, and that we would spend the rest of the day waiting in front of some pub until it would open because there were rumors that some Tim working there has another key.

Fun fact 18 days after publishing: Martin just showed up at our place this morning, he had lost his keys, wallet, phone etc. again. I served him a glass of water.

The Band Without Keys

Another track from my EP "Short Songs For Tall People"
Lyrics:
You say your name is society and you think you’re sick?
Sit down, patient, and I’ll examine you!
Uh huh, just what I thought:
That complexion of yours--grey as a flophouse bed sheet.
Your breath--reeking of smog and sewer gas!
Headaches? What do you expect, with nothing but cash registers clanging inside your empty skull?

I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I've got an electric bongo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I howl, I scowl
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

Of course your stomach hurts!
You’ve swallowed too many dreams, too many hopes, and turned them into one gigantic ulcer.
Look out—your hands are trembling—any minute now and you may drop a bomb!

I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
Steely Dan's a dildo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I play pinball
I play Pachinko
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

I’ve got news for you, society—you’re not sick, you’re dead!
Solid Baby!
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I've got an electric bongo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

And I’m going to bury you and dance the twist on your grave!
Solid Baby!
(Punctuated by finger snaps and applause.)

Physical (Todd Wilder & Libby Laksmi)

I was headed home thru Hattiesburg 
In an icy cold  December 
On a train: the Crescent City line
To my hometown for Christmastime

I was watching out the window
As the train pulled out into the snow
The western sky was glowing red
as the night turned purple overhead

Between the sunset and the evening stars
Planes were leaving long white scars
I’d given anything to be up there
Flying far away from here

That was years ago
The last time that I went home
Now I’d give anything to go back where I belonged

Oh, to walk down those familiar streets
In the town that held my secrets deep
To see the soft glow of the Christmas lights
In the windows around the old house of mine

To feel the warmth of Christmas from years ago
But things have changed so much I know
We all have gone separate ways
And it all feels so far away

Everyone I’ve known has come and gone
Friends and family that I depended on
That world is gone
And I stand alone 
I just want to go back home where I belong

If Christmas wishes did come true
I would have a million reason to 
Get back on the crescent city train
And start the new year home again

I just want to go back home

The Last Time I Went Home

12 Days (12) - Rejoice

Stop by this track and thank you for your time on it.
People are free! Legally speaking.
Some worlds have strict rules to follow.
I always want justice. Still, there are realistic worlds where freedom is taken away.
Unleash your mind, breathe in a new wind, and expand the world where you can fly freely!
At least I want you to feel free and kind.

Outcry

unfortunately I am free of any profound knowledge at the keys ! but I can not leave it :-D .... free improvisation in one go ... I hope the layered sounds make the piece interesting enough ! ... I myself feel it's nice to dream away ... The pretty illustration is by Juanita Mulder, pixabay
.......... a little joke on the side: I used completely fearless all black and white keys ...!

some jingling - free improvisation

Hot Sand II Without Vocals Open Collaboration Offer

The Original intent of this tune was something quite different than what lt has become. One of the most beautiful Things about a Collaboration ls that sometimes lt goes where lT wants to go- This ls one of those Cases:):)
Stephen who gave wonderful Guitar and percussives Also did the lnltlal production Work- We had somehow entered the land of EDM with the introduction of the lyrics- And then much to my pleasure and surprise, REKHA Came Aboard and brought her lovely and formidable  voice, humor, and production skills to co-produce with Stephen for this final whimsical break up /apocalypse song- Thank you my friends, lt doesn't get any better than this;)

Time ls up time ls up
don't you know
time to go
time ls up, time to go
The jig ls up
That's the show

Time ls up
time to go
the jig ls up, don't you know
travel light take that flight
Don't look back, don't call or write
l ain't mad, l know you couldn't help lt

We all treated her so bad
and now she's mad
l wish that l could make amends
but she's all done
She's gonna squash us like a bug'
