We Are Free by Monty Cash

Here is a story written by me which was previously named Foundation. 

I have now decided to call it Open the Door as the scope of the project increases.

Jessica Berry is an amazing graphic artist who is drawing pieces for each part of the story. 

I asked her if she would also like to give a version of the narration as she has a lovely comforting voice that will help the words melt into your mind and allow a more full dreamscape to be created.

Dream - Monty Cash

Cheeky - Spoken word poetry by Monty Cash

Today in my writing, I ventured to find a definition of love that is accurate. Let's say I settled upon this one for now. 

Copyright Monty Cash Music 2018

Spoken Word - A definition of Love

A forty beat loop I made on my pedal and a jam on top with a forty dollars violin and a hundred euro guitar.

Only improvisation. 

I played for the temple at Blazing Swan, the burning man event in West Australia. Uninvited and unannounced, three days in a row. 

Picture from the wheat belt. The outback. The dry. 

Recorded on a phone. 

Monti Karus was here.

Dry desert vibes - 40 Beat Jam in B @ 430

Here's a new song I developed into another metal-esque creation.

Wake the Sleeper - Original Song

Here's the inspiration of the morning. Music, words and recording all done this morning in the space of three hours. I often get tired of singing popular western music and just want to do my own thing.

I was inspired in this song particularly by the C# tuning my guitar found itself in. Changing strings and changing temperatures cause interesting things for guitars. I already tune to D instead of E (that's a full step down on all strings), but I 'feel' things in certain keys more than others, I tried tuning it up to D but I couldn't feel it there. So here's my hocus pocus. I just do what feels right.

A song in C sharp minor for my deep voice.

I hope you enjoy the track for its simplicity and reflection.

Thanks, Monty

The Fire - Original Song

Here is a long running work in progress. After a huge effort to bring the elements together from various sources and also inspiration from various sources, this piece is finally in its first completed form (there might yet be more versions with different improvisation from other instruments so stay tuned). 

This is on a net-label release through Güve Recordings called "Hail to the Void", featuring also poetry and a live improv track called Ritual; free download available - https://archive.org/details/hailtothevoid/

Special thanks to Whiskey Mystic of Letterkenny for the inspiration to work on this song and for the female vocals in the mix( http://soundcloud.com/whiskeymystic )
To the amazing Oorlab of the Netherlands for the dramatic violin solo at 3.40 and the Outro piece (http://soundcloud.com/oorlab )
And to all the crew at Songwriter's in the Kitchen Forum for giving me great tips and tricks for mixing and mastering of the content when I was stuck as to what to do. You can find the thread of its progress here: https://www.songwriter-forum-kitchen.com/forum/songs-for-review/2/empire-of-the-fallen-open-to-critical-review-and-collaboration/5947/
All other instruments/vocals and the production, writing and mastering by myself - Monty Cash Music
The starting war sound effect is a creative commons piece by Mike Koenig. The fireworks in the background of that and the fireworks at the end of the track were recorded by me in Enschede, Netherlands on New Years Eve.

This song was originally a free-form improv session I recorded in Copenhagen two years ago - https://soundcloud.com/montycashmusic/acoustic-free-form-empire-of-the-fallen

Lyrics:
All the worlds that we've known, they have fallen
All the dreams that we've dreamt, they have fallen
All the flowers and the trees, they have fallen
All the birds all the bees, they have fallen

All the wounds that we've bled, they have fallen
All the wars that we've fed, they have fallen
All the games we've played, they have fallen
All the nations and creeds - have fallen

All the fires that we've lit, they have fallen
All the fields that we've burned, they have fallen
All the banners we've raised, all have fallen
All the people been taised, they have fallen

People of the world, let go
People of the world, let go
People of the world, let go
People of the world, let go

All the causes we've led, they have fallen
All the colours we've beheld, they have fallen
All the words we speak, they be fallen
All the love and all the greed - has fallen
