Error 404: Human Not Found (Demos I still like)

Can't Remember My Name

... inspiration can brood and bubble at times, barely detectable to all but that subtle sight - the vague yet hopeful perception of a vast web, which shines somehow in the eye of intention. see through doldrums to the eternal wind. thanks for listening <3

Demo 4. 

One of the songs I'm the most proud of. It was written in one of the darkest times of my life. It turned into a moving piece of music that almost turns around and uplifts toward the end.

Meaning of the song is yours for the taking. I won't probably ever share what it's about. I will say that the intro came from an acoustic melody I was playing around with at the time, inspired by my trip to the Fremantle Power Station...

Demo 6. An early 2024 demo. Rough and unfinished like most of 'em. 

Skip to 1.54 for some stuff even a Robot can't play these days.

Knockbox - Demo 6

A song that came out of nowhere while I was trying to finish another one. Didn't think much about it, I kind of like it. I don't understand it, but it is what it is. It might be expanded upon, it might stay as it is.

A celebration of life, a story of hope. This song is very special to me. Finally "completed" after I got out of hospital the other week so very fitting.

Dedicated to those who helped me stand again.

About the song:

* Solo was a one-taker. Some parts of it gets a bit messy, but I felt like the original solo had to stay so.. that's that.
*Narration by Alan Watts: "Birth, Death & The Unborn"
*All instruments performed by me (except programmed midi synth keys and Drums by Bogren Digital (Trivium Drums)
*Artwork: my dear friend and co-conspirator Kris

Lyrics:
Integrity in truth
Purity in obedience to God
Tranquility in spirit
Realization in faith

Be strong in the Lord
Put on the armor of God
For the struggle is fought
Not against flesh and blood
But against the forces of darkness
And the schemes of the evil one

Stand firm
Resist
On the evil day
Stand firm
Against the spiritual forces
of wickedness
in heavenly places

With every prayer and request
At all times in the spirit
With this in view
Be alert with all perseverance
So speak with boldness
As you ought to speak

On that day the deaf will hear
And those who are blind will see
The afflicted and needy will rejoice
For the ruthless will come to an end
And the scorner will be finished

Woe to the rebellious
Who rely on oppression

The Evil Day (feat. Cosmic Keanu)

A (Yusuf) 'Cat Stevens' Classic. Listened to and loved for the better part of my Life. A song, a prayer, a Version......some thoughts. Just created simply and in my own way - vocal and acoustic guitar. Intended with respect to an incredibly prolific songwriter and performer from the 70's and beyond. Acoustic Guitar, Vocals, and Production for this Version by Riff Beach (RiffWerx Productions). 2024
Lyrics - The Wind
I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul
Where I'll end up, well I think only God really knows
I've sat upon the setting sun...
But never, never, never, never
I never wanted water once
No never, never, never

I listen to my words but they fall far below
I let my music take me where my heart wants to go
I swam upon the Devil's lake...
But never, never, never, never
I'll never make the same mistake
No - never, never, never

The day Mr. Robot Head  got cancelled.

About the song:

* Started out with the clean guitar riff, turned into Alex Jones ranting about Justin Beiber / Magellan. There was no plan or much thought given to this.
* This version is "final" although I was unsure of which solo to use. I recorded 3 - 4 improv solos and chose this solo for the final version as it gives a bit more room for the song to breathe
* Mr. Robot Head shares no spiritual, political or any views. If Alex Jones outrages you consider it art. Mr. Robot Head may get cancelled and call it a good day. Who knows. 
* As always, all instruments performed by me and all midi instruments programmed by me unless stated otherwise

Are you a musician who wants to collaborate? Hit me up, I would love to help out on one of your tracks or have you feature on mine. Particularly singers or bassists, but happy for a more capable guitarist to lay some solos down for future tracks too. 

Transcript from the entire rant:

"Look, when you realize how fake it all is - the football, the basketball, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber... Who gives you these carbon tax messages? They tell your kids they have to love Justin Bieber, and then they say "hand in your guns, pass the cybersecurity act," and "the police state is good."

Your children are turned into mindless vassals who look up to Twitter instead of Thomas Jefferson, Nikola Tesla, or Magellan. I mean, kids, Magellan's a lot cooler than Justin Bieber. He circumnavigated the entire planet with one ship. He was killed by wild natives before they got back to Portugal. When they returned, there were only 11 people alive of the 207 crew, and the entire ship was rotting down to the waterline.

That's destiny, that's will, that's striving, that's being a trailblazer and explorer - going into space, mathematics, quantum mechanics, the sacred unknowns. It's all there. Life is fiery with its beauty, its incredible detail. Tuning into it... They want to shatter your mind talking about Justin Bieber. It's pure evil. They're taking your intellect and your soul and giving you Michael Jordan and Bieber.

Unlock your human potential. Defeat the globalists who want to shutter your mind, your doorways to perception. I want to see you truly live. I want to see you truly be who you are. I don't want my progeny - my unborn grandchildren and great-grandchildren - to live in this nightmare system these control freaks have created, where these wicked globalists are so threatened by human potential. They poison the water, the vaccines, the food to turn us into a bunch of slugs, a bunch of lobotomized sloths so they can control us.

It is a crime. It is the most jealous, envious, greedy, hateful, sickening thing the new world order does. That's why I am so pleased to be committed in the fight against them. That's why I don't care about my own life except I want to continue to live to fight them. That's why I don't have fear. I only have fear of myself and my flesh and not being up to the challenge.

I ask you to look in the mirror and ask yourselves: What are you doing in this time of great challenge? What are you doing to unlock minds? Once you unlock a mind, once you unlock somebody, then they can unlock their soul. We can't unlock a soul - only God can do that - but we can unlock minds. And once the mind is unlocked, once the intellect is turned on, then comes the discernment, then comes the awakening of the soul, then comes true enlightenment and empowerment/"

Lyrics
As i run these miles
I forget all about you
As i run all these miles
I hate myself little more
As i run these miles
I can’t find my rest
As i run these miles
I can’t even know me

Runaway
Out of breath
You don’t know me (At all)
Anxiety
it’s bad again
Runaway (Please)

As i run these miles
I forget all about you
As i run all these miles
I hate myself little more
As i run these miles
I can’t find my rest
As i run these miles
I can’t even know me

Runaway
Out of breath
You don’t know me (At all)
Anxiety
it’s bad again
Runaway (Please)

The Void Before Creation

Demo of one the first indie projects I made lol

Coffee bar (demo)

Mr. Robot Head. Cyber anarchist. Retro futurist. Interstellar guitarist. Fresh out of the void & ready to rescue humanity from mediocrity and existential dread. Experimental rock, progressive metal, funk, soundscapes and everything in between. Instrumental. inspired by the tragedy that is: the human condition.  Perth, WA. 

PREVIOUS BIO:

I'm a guitarist and wanna be composer / songwriter- from Perth, Western Australia. I'm currently releasing a bunch of solo material as I have a backlog of older demos and also a new creative streak (thanks life). 

If you enjoy the following you might enjoy some of my work:

Devin Townsend, Porcupine Tree, Ghost, Metallica, Tool, Lofi, game and movie soundtracks, bots, retrofuturism, Eastern philosophy and spirituality, conspiracies (and truths) combined with unique storytelling, riffs or the matrix ...You might like what i put out.

Guess you could say it's prog rock, metal, atmospheric soundscapes, curated samples, synth melodies, stoner rock vibes and storytelling elements like samples and all that good stuff.  But a few killer solos in there too - and riffs. I like riffs....

You won't just see the final, polished product either. I'll release demos, phone memos, whatever - Along with the actual end result so you can take part in this musical journey with me.

That's enough about me. Enjoy the music, let me know what you like/don't like, and say hi over on my socials. Give some love to Code Red too while you're at it. Awesome local band that I miss playing in heaps. Check them out on Spotify or catch one of their upcoming shows here in Perth.
