Screamer

Through Fragile Strides

A simple, rather loose, jazz ensemble, and a simple message.
It seems as though the social and political turbulence is much like trying to paddle your own canoe - it's going to get rough and it will feel as though hope is lost, but don't stop and don't despair. Hope Floats.

The song was originally intended as a relationship muse, where two people are supposed to be paddling, together, in the same direction, but the boat keeps turning 'round and 'round. It takes courage to realize you can only control your own paddle and how you use it. It can be overwhelming and daunting, at times, and you may be inclined to abandon ship: don't.

Uploaded one week into the Trump 2.0 Administration

Lyrics:

I got my paddle in the water, 
I'm paddling with all I've got
The bow is sinking slowly, 
Glanced off a rock.
And i'm startin' to sink down into the water
Losin' myself in the current,
Goin' down, down, goin' down,
Lord help me I'm goin', goin' ,goin',  down

(instrumental break)

I got a bucket in the water
I'm bailin' but it's not enough, no.
The water's slowly risin'
And I'm runnin' out of luck.
And I'm startin' to sink down into the water
Losin' myself in the current
Goin' down, down, goin' down,
Lord help me, I'm goin', goin' down,
I'm goin' down.

Lyrics:

FORGIVE ME NOW
Yesterday I lost my way
I remember all that day
    when my heart was hot as fire
I dreamt your eyes...forgive my cries.

Yesterday I lost again
My desires I could not restrain
    and my heart was hot as fire
I dreamt your eyes...forgive my cries.

Yesterday I lost my way
I remember all that day...

Forgive me now
I wanna explain, see you again, show you my pain
My heart is just for you.
Forgive me now
I wanna cry, I wanna try, show you the life 
    I dreamt for you and me.

Yesterday I lost my way
I'd been waiting for that day
     and my heart was hot as fire
The air was cold, my love unfolded.

Yesterday I lost again
Your chose made me pain
    and my heart was hot as fire
I dreamt your eyes, I did my cries.

Yesterday I lost my way
I remember all that day...

Forgive me now
I wanna explain, see you again, show you my pain
My heart is just for you.
Forgive me now
I wanna cry, I wanna try,  show you the life 
    I dreamt for you and me.

Blood Soaked Symphony

A place for sound freaks lashing out from the dark. 

So there's all kinds of stuff on this page, but after months of schizophrenic debates about who was playing with who and who took the lead while doing it, finally, the decision was made: all my alter egos got together and decided to form a band. From 2020 on new tracks are created under the moniker Gruppo Infernal. Only pure MMTJ tracks will still be named as such. 

Gruppo Infernal still relies on my work as Me, my Thumb and Jack, an ongoing quest for a liberating approach to sound creation where the human body acts as an oscillator amplifying the natural 50hz hum. Direct live recording, improvisations and delay loops only using analog filters and effects. No editing, no overdubs. Gruppo Infernal adds digital treatment to this original sound material. 

UnterPitch was an alter ego using samples & synths.
Bleached Coffins was a one-off project using guitars.
