The ancient metropolis of Istanbul probably derives its name from the Greek 'Stin Polis' ('in the city')(according to Sean Lusk's excellent book 'The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesly)having previously been Constantinople the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
This incredible city spans the continents of Europe and Asia and reflects aspects of both in its culture and people.

RIP Terry Hall.

I like this song very much. It was written by Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Gos and Hall, apparently following a brief affair, though I didn’t know any of this until reading about it recently after the sad news of Terry Hall’s death in December. I have never before inflicted a cover on the world and if my attempt here works at all I think it’s a demonstration of how a really good pop song can survive a minimal arrangement and a dodgy vocal.

I may end up having to take it down :/ but there are other covers of this on SC already – so something something Mechanical Licencing Collective something something something. Maybe.

Many many thanks to Jonathan Beckenstein for his encouragement.

Hello Listeners 😊

Here's the first of a new series of recordings from mid-February 2023.                             The way it began with my lengthy piano intro, we realized 'The Music' was asking us to Pause... much like the woman in the photo is. And as the tonal waves pulsed and expanded outwards there was a stillness present in which our Muses spoke to and through us.  And wow, here was an invocation of the 'Shekinah Fire'! 

What is this ancient 'Fire'?  Well, from what i understand, it represents the Presence of Life, the Radiance of Love, and the unfolding Flow of Truth.  So we stayed with it, and as we tuned into it, i suppose we were into a kind of meditation on the richness and goodness of Life. Listening deeply, and keeping things simple and tonal. 

Tim was on his Telecaster and i was playing that ancient Upright Grand Piano as we stayed present and let it all unfold calmly and naturally.  

And yeah... as it was said of old, to everything there is a season. A this was the calm before what was recorded next. So we just let it be what it was.

May you enJOY. 😊

The photo is also from late February and captured what's called 'a Zodiacal Ray' (seen coming from above through the central portion of the pic).  It happens either just after Sunset or before Sunrise , and originates as the Sun shines through planetary dust from the mid Solar System region.

See Me With My Own Eyes

See Me With My Own Eyes (Prod. GEN6IX)

Modes About Me is a genre-defying trio from Niagara Falls, New York, known for blending alternative rock, pop, hip hop, and acoustic elements into a cohesive, emotionally charged sound.

The project began as a solo creative outlet for Mark, who started writing and producing music that didn’t fit neatly into one category. What started as a personal side project soon grew into something bigger when he recruited his childhood friends, Dave and Miller, both long-time musicians who shared his passion for experimentation and emotional honesty.

Together, the trio shaped a sound that thrives on contrast — heavy yet melodic, structured yet fluid, vulnerable yet powerful. Their music draws inspiration from the energy of Niagara Falls and the emotions of modern life, exploring themes of self-discovery, mental health, love, and resilience.

Modes About Me’s songs shift naturally between genres — from guitar-driven rock and soulful acoustic moments to rhythm-infused hip hop textures — while always staying true to their core identity. With every release, the band continues to push the boundaries of what alternative music can be, carving a distinct sound that’s deeply human and refreshingly original.
