A vast mind-teaser muse...NICE expressive amalgamation of sonic snips! 😎🎶👏🏻❣

@kamikuma: Thanks Natalia! Glad you like it!

It was 1995, I had already acquired my trusty Alesis SR-16 "Dr No" but not hooked it up in stereo yet on my 4-track cassette recorder.

This track is one of the more fun I made in those days, thought I'd share it here. For the occasion, I properly mixed and mastered it in such a way to keep it's original character intact as much as possible. I did put *some* fancy effect to stereoize the vocals a little, and there is a subtle stereo reverb on the drums.. Things like that, but that's just to make it palatable for the modern crowd. This is after all an original recording, no edits, no overdubs.

Thinking about putting an entire 'legacies' album together. Would anyone be interested in that?

The very mature lyrics:

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked, broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

But I don't bear much pain
I'm not gonna jump no train
Every single hour every single day
Guess life is just a game

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them youth rebel rabble rebel rabble
Well I know better but you won't hear me tell
Everyone lives his own little hell
Let them turn around in their own smell
I let them feel bad if they let me feel well
It be alright with me

I know I only live to be
I know this is all you can see
I live to be just like the trees
And the flowers and the bees

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them you rebel rabble rebel rabble
Let live through their own hell
Let them live with their own smell

Salvation

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

Some say salvation
Everyone, everyone...
Rebel rabble rebel rabble
Loser! Loser!

Salvation Song

Method: The poem came first. The collaboration with Vazcoatls (https://soundcloud.com/vazcoatls) came second. Now listen to a brand new audioverse .... Vazcoatls, it's a real pleasure to feel your sonic presence in every second of this.
Narration: The poem acknowledges some of the extreme, existential and intense performances by Marina Abramovich and Ulay. https://mai.art/

(as published in Tiny Inclusions, in: Auslegpapier):

This is her partner. With rest
energy, he holds the bowstring,
the arrow about to speed
forward, right into her chest.

A single movement would make
all the difference a difference
can make. She watches him
breathing, breathing slowly herself.

This breath does not belong to her.
They have shared up all the oxygen
between them before. This is his
breath, as well, that keeps her alive.
Noone can enter the room without
squeezing through their only nostril.

Budget's tight so I haven't been able to get studio time, but this is the demo I made at home for another Witches Junkies & Weirdos track I call They Don't Know!
