Adam Pecho - 2023

Welcome to the soup ;) Music you can see and the space between... Journeys through sound and silence...

How I Felt 12-30-2023

"Sitting here drinking beer watchin' the tube glow
Incandescent radiation, reruns of all the shows
Scenes I've dreamed, scene by scene, they take away all my dreams
Burn my brain to the core and I'm just another TV whore
Because the media has made me what I am
A 3D warped out tuned in video fan"

Ralph Warchol sang and masterfully played his acoustic guitar for this song that I and Mike Davis wrote. It's a very high quality version of our tune recorded in the early 1980's.

Here's where you can hear a finished version of the song with Mike Davis singing: on.soundcloud.com/Rhbdi.

Mike's version of this tune was made for my School of the Art Institute of Chicago student video "Trans-Mission." You can see it here: youtu.be/8WyVV_OXcxU.

I sang a version on my album "Mostly Acoustic" available here: www.amazon.com/Mostly-Acoustic-M…cz/dp/B00G2O466M/.

Note to self: this was recorded in Ralph's basement (I can hear him talking to Joey during various takes).

3D Warped Out Tuned In Video Fan

While Chicago dips into the negative °F on the heels of two-day rain/snow, I dipped into my vinyl collection to make this chill ambient, sometimes downtempo, occasionally jazzy mix.  Perfect for relaxing with a cup of hot brew under a blanket (or two).  

Come drift away with me!

"[Verse]
Munchin' on the beetles
It's a tasty treat
Insects on my plate
Yeah they can't be beat
Buzzin' round in harmony
Livin' in peace
Eat the beetles
Save the world
Let the hunger decrease

[Verse 2]
With every bite I take
The future becomes clear
Eating insects
My friend
The solution is near
Buzzin' little creatures
They're filled with vitamins strong
We're helping Mother Nature
Singing this feel-good song

[Chorus]
Eat the beetles
Oh yes
We're on a mission
Changing the world
It's a tasty tradition
With every crunch and chew
We're making a choice
Eat the beetles
Let's unite
And rejoice!"

This song urges us to consume insects, a good protein source, to improve our ecology while dancing to a compelling EDM beat. It was the first song Patricia Ann Happel and I created with AI. We used Suno.

Eat the Beetles

"[Verse]
It's becoming the norm
In the summer heat
Cicadas all around
They're here to party
Jumping up and down
Invasion of the brood
Buzzing in my ear
But I got a secret
That will make you cheer

[Verse 2]
I'm eating cicadas
Reducing brood invasion
A crunchy sensation
My new favorite temptation
They're swarming in numbers
It's a natural phenomenon
But I'll turn the tables
Make it my anthem

[Chorus]
Buzzin' delight
Cicada's on the menu tonight
Crunchy and tasty
Giving them a fright
EDM beats
Dancing to the rhythm of the swarm
Eating cicadas
Yeah
It's becoming the norm"

Lighthearted tune about cicadas as a delicious appetizer in the year of the largest swarm in the US since 1803. Very danceable! Trish Happel and I created this song with Suno AI.

Cicada Crunch

"(Verse 1)
In the twilight of the silver screen,
A legend rose, unseen,
With a heart for tales untamed,
Roger Corman, they chanted your name.

(Chorus)
Roger Corman, King of the Bs,
You gave us tales wild and free,
From monsters deep to skies unknown,
In your world, we found a home.

(Verse 2)
Through "Little Shop of Horrors," fear and fun,
A blooming menace, second to none,
"The Pit and the Pendulum," a haunting sight,
You wove our dreams into the night.

(Verse 3)
With "The Raven" and its mystic lore,
And "House of Usher" by the shore,
Your films, a canvas of the strange,
In every frame, you made a change.

(Verse 4)
Through "Death Race 2000," a future bleak,
Your daring vision, unique,
From "X: The Man with the X-ray Eyes,"
You showed us life beyond disguise.

(Outro)
Now the curtain falls, the final scene,
Yet your legacy remains evergreen,
Roger Corman, forever be,
The King of the Bs, in our memory.
Roger Corman, forever be,
The King of the Bs, in our memory."

An homage to the late, great filmmaker Roger Corman. Trish Happel and I created the lyrics with ChatGPT and the music with Suno AI.
