Like About U

Tune in controlled fury at the intersection between reverence and disdain.

In Deference to (indifference to?) the Seminal Works

Ah, dear listener! I present myself here with my good buddy Gary, rather sheepish and shamefaced at being absent from this church of sonic jewels for the longest time.  I have been a bad listener, I'm afraid.  Bereft of mojo, time and without my little studio. Mea culpa. 

If you've read this far, you already have a whiff of the legendary about you.

So one day, quite recently,  the Phaigester messages me and opens his raincoat to reveal a select library of stellar little ear-nuggets he's been hiding away. What beauties, I tell thee! What beauties!
He lives here and you should visit if you haven't before

Three grabbed me instantly..deep, swirling soundstrata, complex and intriguing in equal measure. 

Perched on my bed, yodelling into the abyss, I attempt to add to his painting.  Teleported into that great,  inkyblack wonderland of transcendent joy again.

Hats off to Gar. Inventive, musical and patient. Thanks for your art and resuscitating me.

3 tracks..8mins plus..big ask. But hey, if you've read this far whilst listening you're halfway through 

Cheers me hearties, catch  you soon
Be good

Peripheral

I can’t see you, I can’t be with you
I can’t hold you or feel your welcome touch
As we slip into the water

I always sense you, I always feel you
Moving with me, our thoughts alike so much
As we slip into the water

When you slipped away on that awful day
You made me promise to live my life my own way
As I walk with you into the water

No more peripheral
It is logical
It is you and me

Tlaslila

I feel
Like I want to ride across the desert
Baking sand, tears of sweat in my eyes
Then climb climb the black mountains
Oh-oh-over we go, sail into the grey blue skies
I feel cold, dark deepness,
Feel fearsome rain,
Then fall
Fall into your arms again

Strange Agent

Strange Agent
You're never gonna find the man
Strange Agent
He'll let you run while you can

Fool you summoned him from beyond
Fool you thought he'd give you what you want
But that ain't the deal
Spinning the wheel
He's found something to steal
There's a soul to pay

Strange Agent, running wild in your head
Strange Agent telling you to talk with the dead
He's taking you by the hand

Black sky / Only peace

Watch the devils
They tell me to run
When the devils tell me to run
Put your hand upon my face
Only peace, only peace 
shows me how to reach the shore
Tell me how long I've been away 
And where I’ve been before
Only peace, only the peace 
I'm looking for but cannot find it
Put your hand upon my face
When the devils tell me to run

Let me hear your voice that brings salvation
Only peace, only peace 
When you´re in despair
When your words remain inside 
When you´ve already forgotten how to speak
Only peace, only peace
When the demons conjure, curse, swear
Let me hear your voice that brings salvation

Let me feel your love
Only love, only love 
Heals us when we sink into the blood 
Of wounds that they has given us 
And we stagger on
Yeah, we stagger on
Only love, only love
When a thousand devils tell me to run
They tell me to run and run
Only love, only love
When the devils tell me to run
When the devils tell me to run

Put your hand upon my face
Only peace, only peace 
Shows me how to reach the shore
Tells me how long I've been away 
And where I’ve been before
Only peace, only the peace 
Only peace, only the peace 
Put your hand upon my face
Put your hand upon my face
While the devils tell me to follow

Black Sky / Only Peace (Lucy Screw & Druid)

Marc sent me this song, I added supporting vocals with a traveling
limited recording set up, but what a fun song indeed. Perfection is not the key sometimes, spontaneous creativity and passion over-rides sometimes. Thank you Marc for this chance to work with you, an artist I've admired for quite some time already!

You've Got What I Want

REMIX You Got What I Want (Marc Freak feat Electra Volcana)

While reconstructing Moza's 'What If We Could Do Everything?' https://on.soundcloud.com/3MGj1
   I came up with a completely different melody and arrangement. I shared it with Moza, and he recorded vocals for it. Feeling that this relatively grand song lacked something, I thought of incorporating rap. I had been impressed with Lemon Muzik's work as a track maker, so I invited him to join as a rapper. I really like his rap. Additionally, he provided backing vocals for the chorus part. 

This is a Christmas present from the three of us. Merry Christmas.

'What If'

"This song is dedicated to all the Hopeless
Who got the less hope.
What if? What if?
If you just open your eyes 
And spread your mind up in the air
And just listen to this song.
Uh uh uh"

So long, so hard to find the meaning of love
but now you're gone
that is the way it goes i don't know

"(Ayo Listen)
Get the things just right (i said)
Get the things just right (i said)
Don’t tease it, but grab the opportunity
Seize the day! Carpe D.M.
Boys B M.B.tious 
Until the very end of the day
Hey~ Ho~"
 
So long, so hard to find the meaning of love
But now you're gone
That is the way it goes i don't know

The seasons change, but my love remains,
Through sunshine and storms, through joys and pains.
Though you're not here, I'll break these chains,
And hold on to the memories.

What If We Could Do Everything? 

"What if? "
Putting this on your radar
Putting on your armor
Get your own phone number
Love never felt so good

So hard to see
Love knows no end.
