Down Home

This is a song that Computart came up with and passed on to me. It was just some ambient synth and a very simple beat when I got a hold of it, but it did have a really cool feel. I took it, and added five string fretless bass, electric guitar, piano, and organ. I then asked Tez (Llanpsych) to work his mix magic on it, which he did very expertly, as always. We hope you like it.

The Shining (with Computart [Phill Chris] and Llanpsych)

This is a song that began with me laying down some bass, organ, piano, synth, and slide over a looped, heavily delayed guitar riff. I asked Ken to put some drums on it, which he did to perfection, as well as added some acoustic guitar. I then sent it to Tez, and asked him to come up with a lead part for it. He also delivered exactly what I wanted to hear. We dropped the initial looped guitar that was the whole basis for the song to begin with, which I think is pretty cool. Tez mixed and produced this, and what a fine job he did, too, as always. these two guys are wonderful collaborators--so talented and so easy to work with. What I told them was that I wanted to make sober people feel high when they listen to this. I hope it has that effect on you!

MON GRAND-PÈRE (Lyrics)

This is the second in the Departure series of experimental soundscapes that are inspired by a set of 13 poems (or 'cantos') written by Jo Richter a.k.a. Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches @sonic-structures. I was honored thatJo invited me to collaborate with him on this project, it has really helped to push me in some new creative directions.

This second track in the series, features field recordings from Zuunzug. He offers them up for download on this page: @zuunzug-field-recording under the Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0) ... The ones I used are Save Beograd, Novi Sad, and Waves Over Seashells.  I think they add a lot of great atmospheric texture!

The poetry is copyright Jo Richter. I have only extracted a small sample of the original poem, so please read the full text below if you are interested in the original context for the spoken word, also read by Jo Richter.

And you can follow along with this project here. This playlist so far includes one other song (2 different versions) from me and Stonerjazz, based on Canto VI, but we intend to add more in the coming months:

Here is the full text of Departure - Canto II, the inspiration for this track:
(Copyright Jo Richter)

To allow for rest, you need to make sure
that you do not fall asleep right in
harm‘s way. You need to put your trust
in crude projections of the path and thrust
of entities and processes that do not cease
activity when your awareness takes its leave.
There are no guardian spirits to protect
you when consciousness bows out.

When – as a growing child who learns to use
his wits to regulate the forces that en-
compass him – he had to learn to abdicate
his mental skills, his reason and his
social prowess, just to give in to sleep,
he felt the force of dread that did
not hesitate to bring forth monsters from
the cracks that rooms and psyches offer.

Out foraging for all the goods that people,
parks and pastures proffer, he‘d often felt
assailed by sudden drowsiness that swept him
from the inside out into the open street
and very nearly drowned him in the gutter.
The force that urged him cannily to sidestep
reason, did not protect him from approaching cars,
as though it were an arbitrary arbiter of life.

It had been then, in dire need of shelter,
that he had stepped into the cool, comforting
splendour of the spire that reached into
what lays beyond. To master words, he
had been warned, will never do,
if you aspire to tame the threat of
letting go. I‘m here, he‘d said, to enter
a frame of mind, a larger self, a sphere of

actuality that never passes out, even in the
deepest state of slumber, trance or trauma,
even when the archetypes invade
my daily reasoning with brutal presence, as
they do. To master words, his muse replied
with her bemused DaVinci-grin, is quite
amusing, once you find the time to ponder
and to muse about the situation you are in.

Splendor Of The Spire (Departure Mix 2): inspired by Jo Richter's Canto II poem - full text in desc.

Lyrics
Overdrive
Let’s rock it to the groove let the vibe run it’s course 
I ain’t hiding from nobody it’s mask off
Holding all the keys underground and endorsed
And I’m bringing so much heat baby it’s time to defrost 
Nothing up my sleeve still the boss with the sauce
Just relax to the beat—I’m about to set off
I’m about to set it off…

I Want more out of life besides stumbling blocks 
give me love give me music and the doors will unlock
Got me navigate through this Damn gridlock 
But my attitude is pure hip-hop
ground floor—-charging up 
going straight to the top 
max level —-overdrive 
outlaw rebel —-still alive

Attitude—-HipHop
Love it when the beat drops 
blazing when I heat up 
break out the sunblock 
raising levels nonstop 
ready for the aftershock
Watch-’em crumble—- on my way to the top
Lemme take you just a little bit deeper
Hoodie on my head—- like I am the Grim Reaper
Hang on tight as I take a little detour
Can’t resist the allure of the women or liquor

Just a little Taste —-leave you wanting more 
got the rock in my hand ——and I’m about to score 
success taste sweet —-this much I’m sure 
no defeat—-no retreat —-It’s an all out war 
condition for the heat —-elite hard-core 
about to bless another beat—- that what I’m here for 
might be easy but not cheap—-so what’s your best offer
What’s your best offer?

Lyrics of the song "Stand and Rise"

take my hand
when the backs have turned on you
with you I stand
when a fool's tongue cuts and bruises

between the truth and the lies
there is a dawn waiting to rise

don't you realize?
when your world is crumbling down
I won't compromise
in the mirror you have been found

there's still a light in your eyes
there's a dawn coming
all you got to do is..

stand and rise
stand and rise
stand and rise
between the truth and lies
and then your dawn will rise

think
how many years you've wasted
why?
you're gonna stand by that bruise?
you're own your own
in a crowded room
you stand and cry

don't you realize?
I see your world is crumbling down

take my hand
when the backs have turned on you
with you I stand
when a fool's tongue cuts and bruises
between the truth and the lies
don't you realize?
don't compromise

stand and rise
stand and rise
stand and rise
stand and rise
between the truth and lies
stand and rise

there's still a light in your eyes

The Glories of Our Blood and State
by James Shirley (1659)

The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armour against Fate;
Death lays his icy hand on kings:
Sceptre and Crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.

Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill:
But their strong nerves at last must yield;
They tame but one another still:
Early or late
They stoop to fate,
And must give up their murmuring breath
When they, pale captives, creep to death.

The garlands wither on your brow;
Then boast no more your mighty deeds!
Upon Death's purple altar now
See where the victor-victim bleeds.
Your heads must come
To the cold tomb:
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.

The Glories of Our Blood and State by Garddwr Porffor & Nadia Selvaggi

[Verse 1]
Been searching
Through kingdoms lost
You there somewhere
In the mist
Can you hear me calling
Through the storm
Find me
Find me

[Pre-Chorus]
Across the mountains high
Beyond the raging sea

[Chorus]
Will you find me in the darkness
Will you find me when I fall
Will you find me in the silence
Find me, find me through it all
Find me, find me through it all

Will you find me in the darkness

Short track exploring hip hop genres, with help from two little pixies inhabiting home lately. Sick part in the middle was generated from a Fibonacci series, proving there is order in any chaotic system. Only a stupid would have played guitar on that mess… so I did. Pic taken under a bridge in my hometown.

Letra  /  Translated Lyrics:

No sé dónde ir (El mundo es un caos)  /  I don’t know where to go (The world is a chaos)

Estrofa / Verse:

Noticias, ruido, gente, prisa,  /  News, noise, people, hurry,
todo pasa, empieza, termina,  /  all passes, starts, ends,
las cosas pasan sin sentirlas,  /  things happen without noticing,
la vida corre muy deprisa.  /  life runs very fast.

Estribillo / Refrain:

No sé dónde ir,  /  I don’t know where to go,
no sé dónde ir.  /  I don’t know where to go.
Este mundo es un caos  /  This world is a chaos
del que quiero huir.  /  from where I want to flee.
