I’ve Got my purple guitar 
you bought for me 
At that little bazaar (I had to beg )
just along the street (I had to beg you for money)
From our house  (our house?)
Well it used to be our house (it was always fuckin your house)
Now it’s only sticks and stones 
And full of bones ( whose bones? My bones)

inside of me 
I find 
No music left behind you 
 Just My guitar and me 

Now you’re over the bridge 
And it’s burning burning 
Running over the bridge 
I’m just water under it 
Now you’re  over the bridge 
And it’s burning burning down
Running over the bridge 
I’m just troubled water now 

I Play my purple guitar 
And sing alone 
No harmony left (no harmony)
 without a Melody (you stole)
Our song (my song)
Well it used to be our song (our song?I fuckin hate our song)
Now it’s only words and notes  (it was never my song)
That stick in my throat 

inside of me I find 
No music left behind you 
Just My guitar and me 
 
Now you’re over the bridge 
And it’s burning burning 
Running over the bridge 
I’m just water under it 
Now youre over the bridge 
And it’s burning burning down
Running over the bridge 
I’m just troubled water now 

I can’t remember the songs we used to sing together
I can’t remember (bridges are burning burning) songs we used to sing together
I can’t remember…….

A void dance ….in silence
My penance…for your sins 
(so I dance on your grave ….bridges are burning burning 
Bridges are burning burning down.

Burning down around your feet ..burning down ]
Burning down around your feet . You better run you better ri

a Void Dance

Disquiet Junto project 0607: Compose a piece of music in which the relative amount of sound to silence starts at zero (that is, no sound), rises to approximately 40 percent (that is, 60 percent silent) and returns to zero again. Keep the pace fairly steady.

For more about this week's project, see https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0607-silence-wave/

Process notes: I used a probability gate again like last week, but modulated the probability from 0% to 40% and back again using one long ramp from Rampage.  That ramp also controls starting and stopping the recording.

BEWARE! BEWARE! 

Be aware
Beware
Of the Siren’s song



the end of her song is death.

I’m reading Circe by Madeline Miller, a retelling of the Greek myth of Odyssey and feeling inspired by the imagery.
At one point after being betrayed in love, Circe transforms the nymph Scylla into a six headed monster who guards a narrow passage in the sea. Scylla devours and destroys any sailors and ships who come near her. 
And in the classic Greek myth of Odyssey there appear sirens; beautiful, dangerous half woman, half bird creatures whose song will be death to any sailor that hears it.
I’m fascinated by this idea of dangerous women creatures at sea symbolizing temptation, peril and death. Scylla, monstrous and hungry, the sirens beautiful and sweetly singing but nevertheless deadly. Large wooden ships slicing through the water. Masculine power being crushed by the lure and seduction of these creatures.

I love it when Kris Bolin sends me across some music to work with.  And he has a great ear for production to.  This one is alt rock.

FLESH CAMOUFLAGE

CHORUS
Run through the leaves and get shot again
Harder I climb I still fall
But I stay strong and I'll run again
Happy-ish ending after all
Flesh camouflage and get shot again
Lead in the veins weighs me down
Can't get past one in my count to ten
Flesh camouflage can't hide a clown

There's an eczema on my arms again I know
Stops me reaching for the stars
There's a twitching in my brain
I had a thought of endless craving
That just led to misbehaving

I respond to any name
As my real one is just lame
A duck

CHORUS

Flesh Camouflage (with Kris Bolin)

Prolific musician, author, photographer and oddity.  With influences ranging from the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, the glam of Bowie and the nakedness of Iggy Pop - this is Marc Freak.  Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.  An experiment in DIY and lofi.  The odd bum note here, the even odder bum note there.  But with art do we care?
