A song about climate change and our effect on the planet, its climate and our future. Inspired by a Nature paper about 'the trillionth tonne' of CO2 emissions, this song had/has a working title of 'Sonoma' and was originally about grapes 'withering on the vine'... I didn't realise that 'withering on the vine' is an expression about doing nothing while a problem gets worse and worse, which fits in very well with the subject of climate change.

This song is the 'twin' song of 'Fool' - both songs were written within 48 hours of each other back in May, and both songs were recorded and published online within 24 hours of each other... in August. Both songs were written and played using a bouzouki as opposed to a guitar.

wither on the vine
poisoning the wine

the futures on the line
running out of time

what have we done
can't blame it on the sun
the time will come

beyond the trillionth tonne
planets going to burn
facing everyone
the barrel of a gun

too late now
can't blame it on the sun
the time will come

what have we done
don't blame it on the sun
the time will come

剥製の天使　愛された幽霊
どこまで登る　階段裏で出会い

剥製の天使　愛された幽霊
詩人は白紙の詩集を読んだ
詩人は白痴で詩集に酔っていた

剥製の天使　愛された幽霊
詩人は白紙の詩集を読んだ
痴人は白痴で死臭に酔っていた

Story is too long again this time! The whole thing is here:

This is it! 10 story sections, 10 releases of varying lengths. 

One interesting note about these last two pieces of music: The first one (Twelve Speaks Again) is about the newest thing I've written, and the second one (Home) is one of the oldest things included in the entire Time Machine Chronicles, dating from about December of 2000. I remember the date well, because I was hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon with my pops. The idea that music preserves memory has been a huge part of this project.

Thanks for coming along on the journey, it's been a blast.

The Storms of Jupiter

song process: @enigmacurry @mystique_wind @myrhyum
- Myrh created acapella
- EnigmaCurry granularized vox, produced ambient beats, & instrumentation
- Myrh created poetry and voices
- MystiqueWind created more instrumentation & effects
- Mystique & Enigma do final mixings

artwork process: @enigmacurry @mystique_wind @myrhyum
Myrh took two pieces of EnigmaCurry's to create the cover with text 
& Mystique Wind completed it with some key finishing details for the observant eye.

Lyrics based on this poem from my chapbook These Tales Are True

PUSH FOR CHANGE (The Mere Request for Change)
here is the excerpt used in the song:
_________________________________________________________
its that time again to push
for change
push coming to shove
as the moon cycle comes into full swing

scarlet smell of oldness
and the mere request for change 
becomes a full blown criticism

and i feel ugly 
and my house 
is a mess
and people are calling me 
and wanting an explanation 
and the missing women
are still missing
(and the missing women are dead*)

....

the one love in the past 
and in the present

the dentist
the optometrist 
the oral surgeon 
the audiologist
the hair straightener 
the shoes
the bag
the activity and inactivity 
the passion and drama

the singing 
the singing

the push to change 
the push for more

it’s not enough
the fight is never over 
the flourishing
is always happening

even when the winter comes 
and the withering begins 
my body chases my soul 
from sleep to awakedness

it's that time again
to Push For Change

*this poem was written during my involvement with a project related to missing & murdered women in British Columbia, Canada.

Hey! It's Leighton. This is some music I make. Thanks to the Soundcloud community for the support, and for all the great music. I'm not on here very often and my music making endeavors are extraordinarily scattered, but I still exist. Apologies for not listening more to the wonderful music that you are all kicking out.
