“We’re All Going Somewhere”

O my wealthy doctor,
He always says to me:
We all are going somewhere
Whether rich or poor we be!

O my sanguine doctor,
He always says to me:
We all are going somewhere
Some bitter, some carefree!

O my godless doctor,
He always says to me:
And when we finally get there,
Somewhere is where we’ll be!

O my former doctor,
He always said to me:
We all are going somewhere,
I’ll see you there maybe!

I’ll see you there maybe!

hibernating
the days grow dark
suffocating
so pull your boots on
walk out the door

frozen ridge line
and silver moon
distant tree line
the sleeping forest
is under snow

crystal flakes will crunch underfoot
icicles agleam
father winter will tread by your side
to the frosted stream

calculating
the solstice tide
enervating
procrastinating
walk out the door

frigid meadow
in moonlight glaze
dormant willow
is waiting naked
for your embrace

crystal flakes will crunch underfoot
icicles agleam
father winter will tread by your side
to the frosted stream

Michael and I will be introducing two new songs in roughly a month, and at that time the Fictive Sisters album "Immaculate Distraction" will be available on Bandcamp. We will let you know when and provide a link. Thanks always for your listening!

lyrics below
_______________________________________________________________________

Born in Belarus in 86 yeah
Worked in construction back on the farm then
Dressed as a bishop she did deals in St Peters now she
Drives a Bugatti through the streets of Lausanne

It's not the money that's what she said
Don't want to end up with a hole in the head
We'll rule the world with the power of love
Oh do you think so coz
I don’t think so

We took an Uber to the conference centre she said
They’ll act like animals to get what they want
Blood on the dance floor but you get what you pay for when you
Hang with the cool kids at the policy disco

It's not the money that's what they said
No one looks good with a hole in the head
We'll rule the world with the power of love
Oh do you think so

I can't stay in bed for ever
My real life will never start
Complications don't want to know
Happy ending I don't think so

Hybrid warfare
Grand synthesis
Do the practice
Get dog biscuits
Keep it simple
Keep it stupid
Makes us feel good
We’re gonna use it

It's Not The Money (Wheelwright)(Fictive Sisters)

Wheelwright: voice, lyrics, vocal melody, synthesizer, theremin sample @wheelwright

Beckenstein: initial music, guitars, bass, drum programming, mix

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We stayed up very late then took the flight from Kyoto 
The blossom on the wind the artificial sky reminded us of something

Oh did you hear that a storm is coming 
Oh did you hear that we were making plans

That girl said she was you when you were in that noise art band
 But it was hard to tell if she was really real or just another ghost

The shadows on the wall 
The clinical blue light 
The trouble's hidden in my heart

I'm watching from above it's like we're in a TV show
 We're standing on a bridge the mountain in the distance like a Hokusai

Oh do you harbour some great sorrow or regret
Do the sins of the fathers pray on your mind
Oh if I lost my fear, my righteous anger, would I no longer be a danger to myself
Then we could walk like spirits through this complicated world
Forgetting all we know

Here comes the blue wave here comes the new wave
The frozen moment
Here comes the blue day here comes the new day
The frozen moment
Here comes the blue wave

I dreamed the moon was burning a cold white fire in the night
Like a scythe across the sky
It cut the stars free from their moorings and they became a second sun
And then we walked like sprits through this complicated world
Forgetting all we know

Forgetting All We Know (With Wheelwright)

take you away cover 🖤😎😎

These words
These feelings
I can't express

This romance
This longing
The times I've tried and failed

So let's not think about real life
It just complicates things
So I'll say I'm not in love
With anyone

This life
This fiction
I can't accept

This freedom
This longing
The choices that I've never made

So let's not think about the truth
It just complicates things
So I'll say I don't belong
Anywhere

And I know I don't have to
Hate myself but
Sometimes just sometimes
It's the easiest thing to do

And I really don't want to
Fall for you but
It would just be the
The easiest thing
Just the easiest thing to do

These words
These feelings
I can't explain

This romance
These choices that
I don't really understand so

So let's not think about real life
It just complicates things
So I'll say I'm not in love
With anyone

Lyrics:

Were we close? 
Were we friends? 
Not sure, but it was fun back then
Do you remember? 
Well, I don't
Feels like we're all just walking with ghosts

Walking in a photograph
like a sad lost thing
Walking with ghosts
that used to know me
If you try to find me, 
I will be walking with ghosts
Walking with ghosts

I have been hollowed out 
and filled with something else
Old lives, they hover in shadows
and when we talk, we’re talking with ghosts

Talking to a photograph
that I’ll always keep
Talking with ghosts
that used to know me
As tomorrow leaves me
I will be talking with ghosts
Talking with ghosts

When the sober morning comes to show 
the past has gone away
Our translucent bodies lay below 
in a memory grave
We are nobody

Walking in a photograph
of forgotten dreams
Walking with ghosts
that used to know me
The days worth living behind me
So, I will be walking with ghosts
Walking with ghosts

Walking With Ghosts

Picture and text reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasar

Claudio Ferrari: electronic devices - percussions - vocal intrusions.
Alessandro Bona: bass flute - electronic devices - percussions - hose.

The term quasar originated as a contraction of quasi-stellar [star-like] radio source – because quasars were first identified during the 1950s as sources of radio-wave emission of unknown physical origin – and when identified in photographic images at visible wavelengths, they resembled faint, star-like points of light. High-resolution images of quasars, particularly from the Hubble Space Telescope, have demonstrated that quasars occur in the centers of galaxies, and that some host galaxies are strongly interacting or merging galaxies. As with other categories of AGN, the observed properties of a quasar depend on many factors, including the mass of the black hole, the rate of gas accretion, the orientation of the accretion disk relative to the observer, the presence or absence of a jet, and the degree of obscuration by gas and dust within the host galaxy.

"In Darkness, We Travel Light EP" released 05/01/23 @ https://monotronaut.bandcamp.com/album/in-darkness-we-travel-light
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/7kV9hzBjXnJuqSCsDQ7bUV?si=rwCwNnd1Roiaahao-AeDfw
Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/in-darkness-we-travel-light-ep/1685472549

I'm in the process of renovating/updating various aspects of my studio, adding new hardware/software. New music on the way.

I'm a believer in true social interaction on SC, having intelligent dialogue with artists, and giving personal feedback that is (hopefully) more inspired than "Nice."  There are a lot of decent artists here not attempting to "go viral", sharing great music that deserves to be heard and not drowned out by bots.  Encouragement/criticism promotes growth, so say something worth something.

Music's got a hold of me.
I am also half of Fictive Sisters https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com

I have a soundcloud manifesto too (I know almost no one cares):
(1) I do not want to win at soundcloud
(2) I respect people who listen by trying to do work that is as good as I can make it but I may attempt (and possibly fail badly at) different kinds of music so you will probably find some of my tracks suck quite badly even if you like others
(3) If I follow you please feel no obligation to follow me back or to listen to my tracks because I know different people like different things
(4) If you follow me please don’t expect me automatically to follow you back because as I said different people like different things. I try to listen to most new uploads of the people I do follow, so there are only so many people I can meaningfully follow (and only so many reposts I can cope with) at any one time before it all gets a bit overwhelming
(5) If I add a track of yours to my likes that means I particularly like it and if I comment on a track that means I really did want to communicate something. I do not do these things expecting or wanting anything in return or fishing for listeners/followers etc.
(6) Soundcloud (still) can be wonderful and has wonderful people in its universe but some aspects of it do my head in and so I am putting this out here so everyone knows where I am coming from. This is not intended as criticism of anyone else, it is just what works for me
