oooh, settled into that big, cavernous space nicely. :D

I was hoping this was a cover of the original. I love that song.

Great singing voice, Michael. And hats off to the rest of the team. Jamie's organ-work is perfect for the mood. :)

A terrific and orginal rendition of this pop classic.

Cool rendition----great crew on this one too!

"The House Of The Rising Sun" - Michael Ash Sharbaugh [feat. Jamie Rhind and Gary Reeves]

a mother gives herself sexually to distract a spouse who's about to beat his children.  that guy's a fucking asshole.  that woman is a fucking saint.

// LYRICS
it's not about us
you selfish and violent lush
it's not about us
you throw fists and violate trust
i'll stay
please don't hurt them
i'll stay
i'll stay with you
come here
lay down
with me
fill me
with your
rage

mother, the great protector (outraged version)

made for good headphones

method: harp, drumsticks, voice, shoegaze, etc
narration: in my mind, there's been this convoluted, overly-complex story playing out about a diplomat losing a note on a sidewalk and media spinning its content into disrespect and all that .... when all this poem really is about is a reminder to mentally adapt to and cater for the usual range of diversity, I guess.

poem / copyright jo richter:

all those who come here
hold dear what they fear
most in attendance
are in ego-state trance
some of those present
are neurodivergent
while we'd long to see
more of those thriving on empathy

reminder

Lyrics - Ron Todd

"Dust Clouds On The Horizon"

Heading out across the plain   
Eyes can't focus in the driving rain  
Horse is tired underneath my jeans 
Easy life ain't as easy as it seems  

Worked the ranches  rode the rodeo 
Risked it all on one last throw 
But as the time it turns to sand 
Worldly goods here in my hand

Chorus

They say life is special  
They say life is good   
But the cold still gets underneath this hood 
But when the sun comes out  
Feel It burns like fire 
And the prairie dust gets higher and higher 

Old guitar strapped to my back 
Singing songs at the roadside cafe (sang caf)
Like Bronson said along the way 
Might go back  maybe some day 

Chorus

Bridge

Days leaving money lying on a night stand 
Women I’ve known some good  some bad
Some had grace just like a ballerina 
Others they rocked it  rocked it like Tina

Guitar break
 
Dreamt about a tired old man 
He was sitting by a rusty old van  
Watching waves come to the shore
Felt I’d walked this way before

I realised this guy was me 
Songs replaced by senility 
Poured myself a whisky glass 
Glory days they just don't last
 
Chorus

Give it everything you can 
Cos when it's over then it's over  
Whether woman or a man 

And that prairie dust just gets higher and higher
Yeah it just gets higher and higher

Dust Clouds On The Horizon (Cooper/Todd Collaboration)

Featuring J Flow from Jeryia J. Please enjoy

J Flow

Old track taken from "Eterociclica" (circa 1999). A description of the suggestions inspired by the molecular structure of the Thiazole molecule.

Electric guitar, real-time loops and electronics.

Tiazolo (1999)

This song is dedicated to my first high school music teacher and where I more or less learned to play the flute and I dedicate it to him in memory of so many years of teaching! It's a very simple song but for me it's a tribute to all the years that have passed and it was a golden era! To tell the truth, he was the one who introduced me to music! The instruments used for this song are as follows! Minimoog synthesizer and sorpano flute! and the percussion came from EMULATOR III, which was quite difficult to program but gave good results!

Cantore

on this version, Josh Guice plays drums and James Abendschan plays bass (but you can't hear that very well).

POP | SPACEROCK | AMBIENT | EXPERIMENTAL

the PERSON, the SOUND : Michael Ash Sharbaugh is a composer of music and poetry, a lead vocalist and synthesist who hails from Philadelphia, PA. Since 1985, Michael has released hundreds of recordings, but known primarily for his atmospheric pop ("Give Yourself Completely"), jarring spacerock ("Dying in the Killing Jar"), and ambient-experimental works ("Infrastructure," "point65c," "Three Aimless Clouds").

Michael's sound is a synergy of 'darkwave-y' electronica and 'trip-hop-y' psychedelia: bass-laden rhythms form the gravity for his own breathy vocals and his soundscapes of dizzying synths and 'found sounds.' His ambient and experimental musics are soothing, and somewhat 'alien' to the ear: they float and shimmer, meander, and -- more often than not -- haunt.
