The unpredictable journey of Archibald Whim - a great progressive rock suite (opera) by Moma

Ft.JUNZO-Lover's Prayer-Lisha Nandi , MOMA --- Bonkers

MORE CONTRAPTIONS LIKE A TRANQUIL GANGES

This recording is an overdubbing of my guitar playing on the work "Lover's Prayer" by Lisha Nandi.
https://soundcloud.com/lisha-nandi-124733328/lovers-prayer
--------------------------------------------------------
When I first listened to Lisha's this work, I was completely fascinated by it. I think the vocals, lyrics, composition, and performance are all excellent, and the balance between them is wonderful.When I suddenly returned to myself, I was holding my Les Paul, and have started recording with it.

The original work released by Lisha can be thought of as a completed "acoustic version".If I think the purpose of adding and releasing my guitar playing to it is to promote and disseminate the existence of that wonderful "acoustic version".

＊If you are practicing playing the guitar, please use it to master the performance of "C # m Pentatonic Scale".I think there are several ways to practice playing the guitar with this song, this time I mainly played and recorded it using the "C # m pentatonic scale".

If the foundation is neglected, there will be no future development. Those who neglect their proficiency in the pentatonic scale and act as if they have mastered not only the pentatonic scale but also the blues scale will most hope that listeners will misunderstand that their guitar playing is good. .. It's a very dangerous adventure.

I eagerly want anyone to get out of that dangerous situation as soon as possible.Any guitar player who hasn't mastered it can't get out of the "beginner". I think.

If you know that it is used in the following representative songs, everyone who has not used it before will surely say "Oh, is that a pentatonic scale?"

The Beatles --Let It Be
This song has different solo performances on the single version and the album version, but it is a guitar solo called "A minor(C major) pentatonic scale textbook" from the time it was released.

Led Zeppelin --Stairway to Heaven
Even in this song, a guitar solo will appear at the end of the song. This is a solo performance using the "A minor Pentatonic Scale", which is a little more difficult than the above.

Eagles --Hotel California
A very famous guitar solo will be developed at the end of this song as well. Since it is a twin lead, it is a more difficult solo performance. The "B minor pentatonic scale" is used.

The guitar playing that I layered on the original sound source is very simple. Some may say it's too simple.However, it doesn't make any sense to crush the sound of vocals and other instruments to make only the sound of the guitar.

There is no guitar solo in this attempt, and I didn't play the chords and tried to accompaniment phrases. This is because it is meaningless unless the listener can easily listen to vocals and other performances. Therefore, I think it is easier to practice the scale using the guitar.

PS
There are quite a few artists I would like to collaborate with someday. Lisha has long been one of the representatives, and I have long waited for the opportunity to come. Recently, I have actually had the opportunity to dramatically improve the collaborative environment. Even with an already completed sound source, it is impossible to completely separate it for each instrument, but now it is possible to separate files into several major parts. 

In this work, even if the volume is set a little louder to maintain the sound quality of the guitar, the vocals are cut out from other parts, so the volume and sound quality of the vocals could be sufficiently maintained. That is one of the major backgrounds that made it possible to release this recording
(I've uploaded a version here that matches the genuine Apple earphones for the iPhone, so  it's a good idea to set up an equalizer for your listening environment).

Lisha approved my this attempt to be published here. I thank her sincerely for her generosity.

We are very happy to present today a great singer and songwriter, as well as a sensational musician and producer named Richard Gonfrier. With him we have had a great musical connection that has been transformed into this wonderful pop song called "Just Tell Me More".
From MTM we are very grateful to Richard, his girlfriend Delphine for making the cover, the great work done, how professional he has been and what a wonderful person that despite the distance we have intuited at all times that he is.
We are nobody to say it, but I hope that Richard can allow us to express that ... surely a person very close to him and who has recently left for another wonderful place, will be listening to him with great pride.

May I be able to make a normal song to all tastes? This rock ballad was my best opportunity, though I had to prog it a bit... well, please tell me.

Pic taken by myself at a beach near my hometown, a cloudy morning about two weeks ago.

Letra  /  Lyrics

El sol está quieto (…)  /  The Sun is still (…)

Hace mucho tiempo que el sol está quieto.  /  Since a long time ago the Sun is still.
Lo quieto del sol da lugar al invierno.  /  Stillness of the Sun originates the winter.
Invierno que expresa su frío con viento.  /  Winter which expresses its coldness with wind.
El viento en la playa moja mi cuerpo.  /  The wind at the beach wets my body.

Mi cuerpo mojado sufre en silencio.  /  My wet body suffers silently.
Silencio que siempre me trae recuerdos.  /  Silence which always brings me memories.
Recuerdos que se agrupan en pensamientos.  /  Memories which get grouped in thoughts.
Pensamientos que pronto parecen deseos.  /  Thoughts which soon seem to be desires.

Deseos que te tienen a ti en el centro.  /  Desires which have you in the middle.
Tú en el centro pero yo más lejos.  /  You in the middle but me further away.
Lejos de todo lo que llamamos nuestro.  /  Far from everything we call ours.
Nuestro pasado es ahora lo primero.  /  Our past is now the first thing.

Primero de todo te echaré de menos.  /  First of all I will miss you.
Menos de un día ya se me hace eterno.  /  Less than one day already feels eternal to me.
Eterno fue el día en que decidí no vernos, más.  /  Eternal was the day when I decided not to meet, more.
Mas, vernos me hace salir de este infierno.  /  But, us meeting helps me get rid of this hell.

Infierno que pronto cambiaré por el cielo.  /  Hell which soon I will change for heaven.
Cielo que sólo tú puedes tenerlo.  /  Heaven which only you can own.
Tenerlo contigo es lo que más quiero.  /  To own it with you is what I want the most.
Quiero estar contigo en alma y cuerpo.  /  I want to be with you in soul and body.

Mi cuerpo mojado, en la playa hace viento.  /  My wet body, at the beach it is windy.
Viento que expresa el frío del invierno.  /  Wind which expresses the coldness of the winter.
Invierno debido a que el sol está quieto.  /  Winter due to the Sun being still.
El sol está quieto hace mucho tiempo.  /  The Sun is still since a long time ago.

El sol está quieto (...)

This very classic sounding classic piece is a classic start of a new classic progressive rock suite. "The Unpredictable Journeys of Archibald Whim" is to be a longer batch of bits and pieces describing this somewhat whimsical fellow on his trip around the globe some hundred years ago. This the first piece "Archibald Whim – Prelude" is a full length version of the very start and end of the journey. The next two tracks are in the making, and I do hope to get them all together during this spring. And as always, please do say what you feel, SC is a great place to be when the interaction works!

Archibald Whim The Prelude

This is the second chapter in the suite "The Unpredictable Journeys of Archibald Whim". As the convincing swindler Archibald Whim fool the old geezers in the explorers society he is still driven by the prestige and the naive optimism. But as the steamer leaves old England for a destination far away in the cold Russia, he suddenly realise that this might be his final scam. And the snow falls over a dark harbour in a foreign town...

I Have Just Begun – Archibald Whim II

Yet another piece in "The unpredictable journeys of Archibald Whim". This time its a very short (you can thank me later) interlude in a classic style. Working with Spritfire Labs strings and piano with a little help from my friends – CSSS. The solo cello and viola gives it a more close feel and a somewhat more human touch. 
And yes, this is No.4, but where is then No.3? It is still in the making. The ludicrous disorder in witch the suite is produced is due to the lack of discipline within the writing team. In the end the parts will be put together in a orderly fashion. You have my word... 

(dedicated to Maj:)

Any thoughts,relevant ideas or cheerful comments are as always very welcome!

In The Midst – Archibald Whim Interlude

So he appears once again, this infamous Archibald Whim. Yet another track in the pretentious epic saga "The Unpredictable Journey of Archibald Whim. This time he surface on the vast plains of southern Russia walking in an endless caravan heading for Asia. He seem to have some opinion on the direction, as the weather and the endless trail is a torture. But hey, something is happening up front of the caravan...

We´reTurning South – Archibald Whim III

Letra  / Translated lyrics (inspired by Aldous Huxley's novel 'Island')

EL PÁJARO MINAH  /  THE MINAH BIRD

Me desperté  /  I woke up
de un sueño equivocado,  /  from a wrong dream,
tumbado entre palmeras,  /  lying among palm trees,
no estoy perdido ni encontrado.  /  I’m neither lost nor found.

Me siento bien,  /  I feel alright,
el sol me ha iluminado,  /  the sun has illuminated me,
la vida se estremece  /  life is shaking
y el egoísmo se ha agotado.  /  and selfishness is exhausted.

Pero cómo no lo pude ver?  /  But how couldn’t I see it?
No tenemos que ir ni que volver.  /  We don’t either have to go or come back.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que vivimos muy cerca del Edén.  /  that we live very near of Eden.

Es esto real?  /  Is this real?
Atrás quedan las ruinas de la ciudad.  /  Behind are left the ruins of the city.
No pierdas tu tiempo,  /  Don’t waste your time,
no sufras más.  /  don’t suffer anymore.

Cuando el ave abra sus alas  /  When the bird opens its wings
y el día se convierta en oscuridad,  /  and the day becomes darkness,
escucha su cantar,  /  listen to its singing,
deja de pensar y vive.  /  stop thinking and live.

Pero cómo no lo pude ver?  /  But how couldn’t I see it?
No tenemos que ir ni que volver.  /  We don’t either have to go or come back.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que vivimos muy cerca del Edén.  /  that we live very near of Eden.

El ritual del Mosha,  /  The ritual of Mosha,
luz del amor al alba,  /  light of love at dawn,
la plenitud del alma,  /  the fullness of the soul,
el privilegio de la vida  /  the privilege of life
como canta el Pájaro Minah  /  as the Minah Bird sings.

Una procesión de focos avanza,  /  A procession of lights goes onward,
rugir de tanques, ruido de armas.  /  tanks roar, noise of guns.
Un grito llama a la venganza  /  A shout claims for revenge
cuando un soldado dispara al Pájaro Minah.  /  when a soldier shoots the Minah Bird.

Tanques y tropas arrasan la ciudad.  /  Tanks and troops raze the city.
La estupidez humana es el arma más letal.  /  Human stupidity is the most lethal weapon.
Cien años de historia  /  A hundred years of history
en una noche ven su final.  /  in one night watch their end.

Cuando el ave cae al suelo  /  When the bird falls to the ground
y su sangre se convierte en hielo,  /  and its blood turns to ice,
y se apaga su cantar…  /  and its singing fades…
Jamás aprenderás si no quieres escuchar.  /  You’ll never learn if you don’t want to listen.

Pero cómo no lo pueden ver?  /  But how can’t they see it?
Hemos sido bendecidos al nacer.  /  We have been blessed at birth.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que la vida es sueño.  /  that life is dream.

Y no quiero despertar   /  And I don’t want to wake up
de este sueño equivocado.  /  from this wrong dream.
Me siento bien…  /  I feel alright …
Me siento bien…  /  I feel alright …

Paco Ray: El Pájaro Minah (ft. David Sinvergüenza & E-Ruizzo)

Is it thanks to the lack of oxygen on that high mountain? Or is it a fundamental insight hitting him as he finally reach the top? Climbing from the plains up on the ridges Archibald Whim suddenly is capable to see the truth - or is it?
The Unpredictable Journey of Archibald Whim has reach yet another stage, another intriguing part of the story of a lost soul. 
I do hope you like it, although it may be somewhat challenging. It sure was to me stumbling around among the channels and sounds in an endless mix. 
Best to you all!

No. This has nothing to do with Archys travels, we have to wait. This is – you guessed it – just "Bonkers".

Set me Free / Paploviante September 2020
Vocals: Alley from  www.Ghosthack.de
Lyrics:
You filled me with passion
A candle in the dark
And in your own fashion
You burned it to the ground
Its sad but it's true
I can't get over you
I'm trying to breath 
But I'm choked by the fumes
Set me free
I'm just trying to breath
Let it go
Cus I can't keep hold
If I told you that I love you
Would you let everything slide
If I told you that I want you
Would I run and hide?

Music & Lyrics, Vocal, Synth, Drums: Jan Schonander @thegats

This is a track from my soundcloud friend Jan Schonander, which he wrote, performed and released here on soundcloud already some weeks ago.
As he recently asked me, if I could do a N.o.b.S. Version of it, I did not hesitate as I really do like the song.
If you listen to the original, there is a guitar already creating a great atmosphere. 
I wanted to amplify this momentum with my version especially in the second part with heavy rock riffs.

I hope you all will enjoy this and bang your heads to it. It is something for rock obsessed individuals.

Please visit Jan on his site and support him, you will like the music you will find there:

Lyrics:

BREAK OUT OF THIS CAGE
Break out of this cage
Why can’t I hold on to the bars
Is it all in my mind
The weight on my shoulders
Better than that 
More than that
You deserve so much more
So much better than that
Round and round and round…..
Up and down
Round and round
Off the ground
I don’t want to hear a sound
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh….
Break out of this cage
Break out of this cage
Break out of this cage
Why can’t I hold on to the bars
Is it all in my mind
The weight on my shoulders
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh…..
Round and round and round…..
My future
Your future
Our future
It’s all in the past
It’s all in the past
Get off of this circular path
Break out of this cage
Break out of this cage
Break out of this cage
Why can’t I hold on to the bars

It sure seems there's always malice in the palace. Either you’re in the palace causing malice or you’re trying to stop the malice. In both cases there's still malice in the palace. As subjects, we have to live with that malice, so get out and vote. And if voting doesn’t make a difference, get out there and storm the palace, but only for a cause I believe in, lol. 

I love roots reggae and am stuck in the period between '68 and '82. Don’t get me wrong, ska is great, and I lump rocksteady into my preferred period of reggae. And I am not saying I don’t appreciate later periods of reggae and dancehall. I did enjoy the 90s dancehall that often went along with golden era hip hop. But I will always like 70s roots reggae best. I must be old. 

Thanks SoundCloud friends for making roots reggae with me and helping me LARP my musical fantasies. You're all the best! May everyone live out their rock star dreams.

Trodding in this world of inequity 
People dying in the city
Kings in palaces show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
And don’t you try to quell us
Or we’ll be storming up the citadel, yes! 
You’ve got to be pure of heart and pure mind
Cause blessed are the pure in heart
So you’ve got to live clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
And in the end, the last shall be first, and the first last 
For many shall be called, but few shall be chosen
Trodding in this world of inequity 
People are dying in the city
And kings in palaces dem show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it
For him it is sin
And that is the way of the righteous
For the path may be rocky
But the conscious can remain clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace 
And we’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace, 
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you have to say
And don’t you lie to us
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel, yes!
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel 
There’s too much inequity 
So don’t you try quell
Do good things for in due season we will reap
So do not grow weary in doing good, y’all
And the fruit of the spirit is love, goodness, and peace 
And against such things there is no law
Living in the righteous way is no flaw
There’s Malice in da palace
And We’re storming the citadel
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
Trodding in this world of inequity 
people dying in the city
Kings in palaces dem show no pity
And we’re all going to be storming the citadel, yes!
So Queen Majesty
I wanna have a word with you and lick up da chalice
I wanna hear, I wanna hear, I wanna hear what you have to say
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
And don’t you try to quell us
There’s Malice in da palace
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life

LA NOSTALGIE 

.......
Retour à la souffrance, in mémoria, réminiscor..
J'ai parcouru tout tes voyages, rouge à lèvres, dentelles et remords
J'effeuille souvenirs un à un, dénude l'épaule du "c'était mieux avant "
Secrets mordus jusqu'au sang
Au filtre de l'affect qui lui aime tant à tricher
La nostalgie c'est le voyage, mais sans jamais y arriver..

La nostalgie (  Extrait )

In times like these, it seems as though we could all use just a little bit of spiritual healing. Take a peek inside the Shamans Medicine Bag and experience just how deep the rabbit hole goes. 

A heart felt thank you 🙏 for all of your continued support, and for listening. Together we are strong.
And as always, a deep gratitude for all of the immensely talented artists showcased here in my DJ mix.

So yet again we meet Archy, in "The Unpredictable Journeys of Archibald Whim", as he leaves Asia for a wild trip across the Pacific Ocean on the RMS King Loony III. May he survive this dreadful journey over endless water thru storms and rain. So All Aboard! (or could this be a lightly hidden parable to the US of A in these pathetic times?) No that would be rude...or would it?

ALL ABOARD! Archibald Whim VIII

Plight of the BubbleGum
________________________________
someone put LSD in my bubblegum
I wanna get it on but my head is twisted
where the world ends is when I existed
what is truth when it lies fixated 

in my bubblegum, I wanna get it on
but my mind is empty
my thoughts they fall in tandem  
I see strangers and panic at random

hey there not so fast priest
you wanna tell me what It is I’m missing?
I pray to mother mary but it’s
all illusion until I start drinking

well-water will rise in earth
the scorched land and comet hearth
and whoever put holy water next to me,
it’s no bother, it chills levity 

and if I’m a hypocrite, I’ll stick my bubblegum in it
if I stick it on your artwork well, I’ll chew it straight to hell
and when I get there lines are formed, some are sleeping queens
adorned in radiant whistles aimed at the sky,
light them up! let them fly!

light them up, let them fly!
I wanna get it on where tongues are twisted
the stuff that makes gum chewy? it is… it is…
whatever it is, I missed it

one more moment fast
where rockets fly in the night cosmic blast
where all soldiers pinned beneath the sky, 
don’t cry, I got bubblegum

it’s a mystery to me, worth lies beneath cosmic beauty
it scars me wide it’s coming straight to Ayhem (Son of a Lion) surprise
One more time I stick my bubblegum in your eyes
I’ll have you blind than lie to me one more time

For the 31st Solar Kama Sutra song I decided to challenge myself a bit and do something in 7/4 time.  I tried remembering a band I heard do that and thought, "Isn't Pink Floyd's "Money" in 7/4 time?"  I remembered hearing it and thinking it was...

...  Turns out it is!  So for that reason I thought of Pink Floyd, and tried to do a Pink Floydish sound.    It's also a nod to Radiohead's "Pyramid Song".  I tried to capture the same feeling that song gives me, but with Solar Kama Sutra this time. 
(by the way, Solar Kama Sutra has always been just one person.  It's just the name for what I call the music)

Since Radiohead already used "Pyramid" which is well-known since ancient Egypt to be the coolest shape, I had to go with something else.  "Sphere Song" and "Cube Song" ?...  Well...  Those song titles just aren't gonna work....   Maybe "Dodecahedron Song"?....  Hmm... That actually sounds pretty catchy...  Feel free to use it!  

 My vocals are used more heavily on this track than it seems.  Throughout the track I tried to make my vocals sound like guitars and other instruments

  And definitely hats off to Pink Floyd for making a hit song in a 7/4 time signature.   How many times has that been done before?!

And of course, hats off to Stonehenge.  The ultimate inspiration for this track

lastly, much respect & love for all of you who have dropped by once again

Stonehenge Song

I dedicated the song "Monique" to two women: 
First of all to my grand aunt Monique, who was murdered as a Jew by the Nazis in Auschwitz. I know her only from photos and the anecdotes of my mother. Through her tragic life story, her unique face with the big, jet-black eyes, I still feel connected to her today. 
In this song I imagined meeting her shortly before her gassing in Auschwitz. How I accompanied her to the gas chambers, how we got to know each other a little before the inevitable happened.  
      
Secondly, this song is dedicated to another Monique. Her stage name was "Barbara" and she was a charismatic French chanson singer. What would I have given to be at one of her concerts. But when she had her big time, especially in the 1960s, I was still much too young. So all I have left are their Youtube videos, of which I would like to put a link here:

Her face and her eyes, her charisma and expression remind me so much of my grand aunt.  Like her, she was a Jewish woman of French descent. And with songs like "Göttingen" she contributed significantly to an understanding between the Jews and the land of the perpetrators- Germany.  

Lyrics in English:

Monique

I visited you in Auschwitz, 
Cursed this freezing cold murder place

See you coming with the gas chamber train 
Only one photo at my place with your face

Your deep black eyes look at me
Already as a child they magically fascinated me

I go to you, take you in my arms 
In the coldness of killing we both get warm

We go together, you tell me about you 
Of your life, your joys, your pain

And you listen to me 
Get to know me briefly

The butchers, they wave
The shadows, they sink down

We both still have some time left 
The cruel suffering is already approaching

You show me the brooch in the photo 
You show me how you move your hands to play the piano

The time fold now pulls you away from me
There to the shameful brick building
I can only look after you
You disappear in there 

Gassed and burned
But unforgettably burned into my soul


Deutscher Originaltext:

Monique

Hab` Dich in Auschwitz besucht 
Diesen eiskalten Mord-Ort verflucht

Seh` Dich da kommen, mit dem Gaskammer-Zug 
Nur ein Foto bei mir mit Deinem Gesicht

Deine tiefschwarzen Augen schaun` mich an
Schon als Kind zogen sie mich magisch in den Bann

Ich geh` zu Dir hin, nehm` Dich in den Arm 
In der Kälte des Mordens wird uns beiden warm

Wir gehen zusammen, Du erzählst mir von Dir 
Von Deinem Leben, Deinen Freuden, Deinem Schmerz

Und Du hörst mir zu. Lernst mich kurz kennen

Die Schlächter, sie winken
Die Schatten, sie senken sich ab

Noch haben wir beide etwas Zeit 
Heran rückt schon das grausame Leid

Du zeigst mir die Brosche, die auf dem Foto trägst 
Du zeigst mir wie Du Deine Hände zum Klavierspiel bewegst

Die Zeitfalte zieht Dich nun fort von mir
Dorthin zu dem Schand-Backsteinbau
Ich kann Dir nur nachsehen
Du verschwindest dort drin 

Vergast und verbrannt
Doch unvergeßlich in meine Seele eingebrannt

Monique
