This is a remix of the song Leary in the After-World, a track originally composed by Peter Grimbeek that mixes spoken word poetry and electronic music. The original version can be checked out at this link:

https://soundcloud.com/peter-grimbeek/leary-in-the-after-world

The song is about Timothy Leary, the famous American psychologist and writer who gained prominence in the 1960s for his advocacy of the therapeutic and spiritual potential of psychedelic drugs. Leary saw the internet as a continuation of his earlier beliefs in the power of technology to connect people and expand consciousness.

Writer of prose and poetry since mid-1960s, Peter Grimbeek started on acoustic guitar in 1978 and now uses GarageBand and Logic Pro software to compose electronic music. The incredible cadence of his voice while reciting poetry makes a fantastic counterpoint to his electro-style songs. I recommend a visit to his SoundCloud profile:

The amazing cover illustration was created by the graphic artist Sword Speed. The original image and other illustrations can be checked out at this link:

Hope you enjoy the remix.

LYRICS

Tim departed this life
Seated on a cloud
Like a long lost Pharoah
Having a glorious time.

He retained his famous cool
He kept his wits intact
He ignored the usual lures
I’ll have none of that.

One life ends
Another begins
Still on the outside
Looking in.

After the endless crowd
He found this place quiet
No more friends-followers
To keep him up at night.

But he couldn’t move on
And this was really hard
He liked being a traveller
Not a bird in a yard.

One life ends
Another begins
Still on the outside
Looking in.

For now Tim is numb
But one day soon
His bus will come
A ride out of this room.

He will find a grotto
Sink in its pool deep
Emerge free of the lotto*
Of post-life sleep.

One life ends
Another begins
Still on the outside
Looking in.

Leary In The After-World (ft Peter Grimbeek)

Mikey Scythe (Music)
Peter Grimbeek (Vocals and Lyrics)

I read a book with hollow gaze
I lie at ease in a small dark space
No light found or needed
No food, or curtain beaded.

It's dark in here but I'm OK
No morning comes, no nasty day
No phone, no bills ever
Safe and snug below the weather.

I lie and read for quite a while
The book's about a crocodile
I read aloud with hollow eyes
I lie at ease under dark skies.

And when I'm done, the dark goes on
I'd like to break out into song
My vocal chords are not all there
I need to sing without the air.

It's dark in here but I'm OK
No morning comes, no nasty day
No food, no bills ever
Safe and snug below the weather.

I lie at ease in a small dark space
Below a tombstone, name erased
No lack of time, no moment speeded
No phone, no curtain beaded.

I lie and read for quite a while
The book's about a crocodile
I read aloud with hollow eyes
I lie at ease under dark skies.

Visit neighbours, next hole in line
Write memoirs, have the time
Sing and talk and carry on
One day I'll leave, be gone.

One day I'll leave to travel on
One day, when the bones are gone
One day, when all is dust
I'll leave then without a fuss.

So You're...

Recite Dub

1. In the midst of passing hours
Eloise is drawing flowers.

Stitching rainbow-coloured themes
Running in and out of dreams.

Mountains high, rivers low
Eloise in a world that glows.

2. Eloise making up songs
Improvising as she goes on.

Future doors, windows gleaming
Endless steps into deeper meaning.

Wandering in the forest of good
It’s her favourite neighbourhood.

3. Eloise spins straw into gold
Reliving fairy tales of old.

Train goes by, a distant song
Across plains, sounds of a gong.

Heading for the open air
Heading for a moment rare.

Eloise v2 r1

This song was written for a friend (Stuart) who is relocating to another part of the country.

We’ll miss you
When you’ve gone
In this parting
Of the way.

In a journey
Made of song
Some echoes here
Will stay.

As day
Stretches out
As sun
Pursues the moon.

You’ll sing
A fresh new song
At the end
Of afternoon.

As you vanish
From our sight
With fresh life
Just ahead.

You’ll move
Along a road
To where
You have been led.

In the hours
And the days
Drifting
Slightly apart

Drawn onwards
By the light
Pressed onwards
By your heart.

Circling
In the gyre
Seeking out
Your ease.

Drawn onwards
By the light
Pressed onwards
In a breeze.

We’ll miss you
When you’ve gone
In this parting
Of the way.

In a journey
Made of song
Some echoes here
Will stay.

Drawn onwards
By the light
Pressed onwards
By your heart.

In the hours
And the days
Drifting
Slightly apart

You’ll move
Along a road
To where
You have been led.

As you vanish
From our sight
With fresh life
Just ahead.

Hibernation State (Alter-Ego)

This is a collection of songs written hastily over 12 hours. The goal is to tap into automatic writing, where the songs feel like they write themselves. This collection was written in 2011 with a few stragglers added in. Many mistakes were left in as far as the performances go. Most attention was spent on the Mix and Master process. There is some genuine gold in this collection. I hope everyone can find something they enjoy. This Album is Loving Memory of Norm Ferguson, whose voice is heard on "Give Us A Call."

Time Move So Fast

The Journey

Welcome and thank you for visiting my channel!

For as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated by human emotions and hearing in general. Thanks to him, I had access to the world of sounds from an early age. 
Good hearing eventually led me to (undoubtedly) the greatest and strongest magic that has long controlled human emotions. 

This magic we call : Music!

Music used in this project is entirely processed by software available for Android devices. 
It's ambient and trance character is achieved by deliberately repeating certain sounds, loops and sequencing to intentionally sound rather raw and rough, but also soft and dreamy at the same time. 

The music itself oscillates within the confines of a mixture of genres, framed with electronic sounds referring to techno, trance, ambient and synth-pop but also sometimes towards post-rock and broadly understood electronic music.


I hope you like at least one of the songs posted here. 
If this is the case, I would be happy if you shared it with me.
