Once again, one of his instrumentals entitled "Beyond The Veiled Horizon" conjured up some imagery that inspired me to try and add something to his original track. I was thinking 'Ethno-Prog' mixing Prog Rock with a World sort of feel. 

The title and music suggested to me the mysterious world of a desert landscape with it's rhythms and music and I had the famous Led Zeppelin 'Kashmir' in my head too. John-Paul Jones added a strings arrangement to that track and I thought I could try something similar.

Since it's Prog Rock I wanted to get my electric guitar out and I feel I came up with some phrasing and a scale that works for the idea. I particularly like the solo section at the end featuring Dave. I didn't want to tread on his toes so I went for more melodic held notes and panned myself hard left and right to keep the separation. 

I used a fair amount of more exotic instruments from various parts of the world. The Persian Ney, Kavali - an End Blown Flute and percussion from ancient Greece and the fairly rare Indian Kanjira that is like a small tambourine. A bell tree, cymbal and water pumpkins were added into the mix too.

Finally, I sang in some vocal lines that I felt helped add to the immersion after doing a bit of research about Moroccan vocal phrases. You can buy VST instruments with samples of them but I thought it was more fun to sing in my own and have more control over the finished article as a result.

Be careful out there ... who knows what you might discover.

Dave had worked on an outline track for this with fairly ominous chords building into the actual storm section. It did sound quite stately rhythmically and in my head I could hear more of a driving pulse to reflect an oncoming storm and the storm itself.  The addition of more of an Eastern pulse utilising Darbuka and Rik in the early part and Davul in the ending added the feeling I was looking for. 

Some orchestral brass was added to the start of the storm section which gave it a bit of majesty and I also added a bit of string ensemble too.  I've often used the 'Eduardo Tarilonte', Shevannai vocal VST library in my music. The pure tones of 'Lara Ausensi' are perfect to add an element of mystery to a piece like this. 

Oud (a Middle Eastern short-neck lute) and Ney ( Persian End Blown Flute) add melodic interest and colour to the early part of this track. Use is also made of a Kanun (Qanun) a Middle Eastern stringed instrument, a type of zither.  This appears just before the storm hits. 

Dave had already supplied a solo section and I added some early electric guitar that morphed into more of a supporting riff when his solo started. It worked well that I could bring together electric and synth at the end of the storm alongside a final slightly dissonant chord on the brass. 

The overall piece is very much a weird hybrid of Eastern influences, Prog Rock and Orchestral instrumentation. I think we managed to capture some energy in this piece ... I  hope others think we did too. :-)

Into the Sandstorm - in collaboration with D Zeitlin

With deep sub-bass, haunting ambient layers, and a chant-style hook that lingers like a secret, this track captures the aching need for truth in a world of emotional half-measures. It's intimate. It's raw. It's beautifully wrecked. Perfect for late-night drives, memory spirals, and anyone who’s ever begged a moment not to fade. Hit repeat. Say it again.

Lyrics:

You said, “Let’s not fall—let’s float.”
But I was already sinking.
You lit the match, I held the smoke.
Now I’m thinking…

You trace circles on my wrist,
Like you’re reading some old myth.
Every scar a little wish
You never asked for, but still kissed.

I tried to be still, but I break too loud,
Like thunder in rooms where quiet’s allowed.
And when I laughed, you held your breath—
Like joy could burn us both to death.

We’re a maybe dressed in yesterdays,
Two souls with nowhere safe to stay.

Say it again like you mean it this time,
That I’m more than a place you survived.
Say it again—yeah, lie if you must—
I just need one word I can trust.
Say it again.
Say it again.
Say it again… before it fades.

I kept your note inside my shoe,
So I’d always walk a little like you.
You keep your past under your tongue—
Bitter, but it helps you run.

We built a house on borrowed ground,
Called it love, but never stuck around.
Still, you haunt me sweet and low,
Like a song I swear I used to know.

We’re a maybe dressed in yesterdays,
Too close to stay, too real to fade.

Say it again like you mean it this time,
That I’m more than a place you survived.
Say it again—yeah, lie if you must—
I just need one word I can trust.
Say it again.
Say it again.
Say it again…

Were we truth, or just a ghost with hands?
Did we ever stand a chance?
If you can’t stay, then leave a sound—
Just don’t let silence take me down.

Say it again like you never let go,
Like the night still wants to know.
Say it again while I’m still here,
Make it love or make it clear.
Say it again.
Say it again.
Say it again…

…before it fades.

Ever since hearing the Armenian Duduk (a double reed instrument) in Narnia and Dune, I've wanted to include it in one of my pieces. This project with Dave gave me a perfect time for a slower piece of music set around a night at an oasis. We didn't want it to be just that, so we did decide to add in a dance section too in the middle of the piece. 

I had the idea of a traveller arriving at an oasis as the sun falls and pouring himself a cup of water.  Then after watching a dance there is the sound of two cups being filled and a female laugh, once again to the sultry sound of the Duduk and Strings. 

It is Ethno Prog though, so Dave got to work creating synthesiser parts as part of the dance section. I added in various rhythmic elements including Darbuka, Riq, Cymbals, Clapping and a Vocal part. I wanted to keep an eastern feel so I decided to use the Oud to add quasi bass guitar lines to the dance section of the piece. 

I feel all the disparate elements came together very well in the end and it drops the listener into the moment.

A Night at the Oasis - in collaboration with D Zeitlin

we can get distracted by flashing lights,spectacular presentations,glitz and glamor ...It is important to seek out things/people/leaders with real qualities not false promises and slick pandering
lyrics

giant rosebush blood red bright
lilac tree deep purple delight
spectacular to see for sure
but what interests me the more
are the tiny flowers that you see
growing in the grass singly
not loud not bold not flashy not sassy
It doesn't take much to make them happy

flashy dresser latest styles
manicured nails and botox  smile
glitters in the dim daylight
attracting many to his site
but what I want, what I seek
is not someone that just throws off heat
but instead is simply warm inside
who doesn't need glitz and glitter
to be satisfied

like a moth drawn to a light
we often seek the cheap delight
and gather around in mindless worship
of something that it truly worthless
so when you choose a light to follow
be sure its source is not bare and hollow

choose wisely

Missing You is an emotional song about longing and heartache after losing someone special. The lyrics express deep sorrow, memories, and the emptiness left behind. With a soft melody and touching vocals, the song captures the pain of absence while holding on to love that still lingers despite the distance.

Missing you

keep the hope...

Cerco te

E intanto passano in silenzio le stagioni  
I miei ricordi sono solo delusioni  
Mi sento un vaso pieno all'orlo di tristezza  
Mi manca un bacio un abbraccio una carezza  

Ed ho un armadio pieno zeppo di parole  
Un orologio che non segna più le ore  
Cercavo amore e non solo vibrazioni  
E invece scuse centinaia di milioni  

Cerco te  
Ti cerco dentro i sogni miei  
Ti cerco disperato nelle strade tra la gente  
Un uomo abbandonato e la nebbia nella mente  
Mi prende e mi conduceoscienza  
E mette a dura prova la mia parte di pazienza  
E sono diventato un mendicante e cerco amore  
E cerco ancora quello che avevo in fondo al cuore  
Allora cerco te  

Il mio passato una casa sulle stelle  
Le nostri frasi rimarranno sempre quelle  
Il nostro tempo si nutriva di magia  
Dolce passione amore e tanta fantasia  

Ma ora crolla il mondo e mi sento solo  
E non riesco più a riprendere il mio volo  
E allo specchio lui mi guarda a muso duro  
Ed ho paura è lui il fantasma del futuro  

Cerco te  
Ti cerco dentro i sogni miei  
Perché io sto annegando dentro un mare di amarezza  
E cerco di salvare tutto cerco la dolcezza  
Che mi ha reso ricco da un amore fortunato  
Ed ora ho perso tutto perché hai detto che è fin abbandonare questa forma di dolore  
Perché tu sei un faro sei l'essenza sei l'amore  
E allora amore  
Cerco te  
Cerco te  
Amore cerco te  
Cerco te  
Cerco te  
Cerco te

Cerco te

Dopo francese e italiano “Una storia di mille volte amore” anche in inglese. 

“It’s a story of a thousand times love”

Mine has now become a sweet obsession  
A constant thought that plays in my mind  
A recurring dizziness that takes hold of me  
A force that overwhelms me, thinking only of you  
I could tell you that I’m madly in love  
But words are not enough to express what I feel  
Together we have taken the world in our hands  
Like a crystal ball to read the future, tomorrow  
And like indelible ink, you have marked my destiny  
You took my heart in your hands with your sweetness  
And you gifted me your soul like a beautiful flower  
And you filled our great story with light  

It’s a story that goes  
It’s a story that gives  
It’s a story of a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love  

Like a child in the arms of someone who cares for him  
Happy to dive into a sea full of love  
And you, like a wave, pull me under with your passion  
And in those moments, the universe stops just for us  
Like a lighthouse shining in the midst of a storm  
I follow you, sure to find your warmth  
You are a ray of sunshine that warms and after a bitterness  
You comfort me by holding me close to you  
In this story that transcends all boundaries  
There is no scale to measure the strength of love  
And we, who are happy like two little children  
Are grains of sand that make the world spin  

And the world goes on  
And the world gives  
It’s a story of a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love

It’s a story of a thousand times love

Nous avions rendez-vous
à "La Petite Madeleine"
où nous étions chez nous.
Un café comme on l'aime.
C'est jour anniversaire
de la première fois,
mais tu es à la guerre
et tu ne viendras pas.

J'ai commandé un verre
comm' si tu étais là ;
peut être, je l'espère,
le vin te remplacera.
Tu veux m’écrire une lettre,
je suis venue pour ça,
s'il l’vin tourne la tête,
je crois qu'il m'aidera.

Pour essuyer le fard
qui coule de mes yeux,
je me sers du buvard,
mais je n'y vois pas mieux.
Tu n’as pas écrit une
seule ligne, tu vois,
vu que le porte-plume
se refuse à mes doigts.

J'ai bien peur que la page
ne reste toute blanche
autant que ton visage
qui pleure sur tes manches.
Mais il faut qu'elle s'en aille
te dire tout là-bas
que j'ai le cœur en bataille,
prêt à mourir pour toi. 

Ici, dans notre café
où j'ai vidé mon verre,

l'alcool fait son effet,
elle est finie la guerre
et ma lettre s'envole
pleine de mots d'amour
te dire ma joie folle.
Je rêve à ton retour.
 
Nous avions rendez-vous
à "La Petite Madeleine"
où je suis un peu soûle ;
Dépêche-toi, je t'aime !
Et fais-moi oublier
mes frissons et ma peine,
car je n'ai pas pensé
à mettre une petite laine.
Il faut que tu reviennes.

At Café 

Our appointment was
at "La Petite Madeleine"
where we felt right at home.
A café just the way we like it.
It's the anniversary
of the first time,
but you're at war
and won't be coming.

I've ordered a glass
as if you were here;
maybe, I hope,
the wine will replace you.
You want to write me a letter,
that's why I came,
if l'vin turns his head,
I think he'll help me.

To wipe the blush
from my eyes,
I use the blotting paper,
but I can't see any better.
You haven't written a single
line, you see,
since the
penholder refuses to accept my fingers.

I'm afraid the page
will remain as blank
as your face
weeping on your sleeves.
But it's got to go
tell you all the way over there
that my heart's in knots,
ready to die for you.

Here, in our café
where I've emptied my glass,

the alcohol takes its toll,
the war's over
and my letter flies off
full of words of love
telling you of my mad joy.
I dream of your return.
 
We had an appointment
at "La Petite Madeleine"
where I'm a little drunk;
Hurry up, I love you!
And make me forget
my shivers and my pain,
because I didn't think
of putting on a little wool.
You've got to come back.

The only bomb that should be acceptable to mankind.

"Sex Bomb" is a song by Welsh singer Tom Jones (you probably waited for this ;)). Performed in collaboration with German DJ and producer Mousse T., it was released in November 1999 on Jones' 34th album "Reload".

Guitar by my son Gideon.
We hope you'll enjoy the show.

Expedition Journal

10th June
The hieroglyphs are faded and unclear, but the riddle might be solved.

15th June 
A secret entrance, long buried in the sands of time, finally a way inside the Sphinx.

16th June
We hear the sound of an ancient mechanism and an opening appears. Stepping inside, we discover chambers of wondrous size and form, but all are empty. Our flickering torches show air still moves inside this wonder of the ancient world.
 
Suddenly we find ourselves in danger and running for a possible exit. A mechanical sound of rock sliding over ancient rock. We barely escape with our lives.

17th June
Our entrance and hurried exit are both now fully sealed from intruders. There will be no second chance.

Flying away in the helicopter, the enigmatic Sphinx looks on.

As it always has.

As it always will.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dave had worked hard to create a great template of ideas in a fully realised track. Whilst thinking of the title the idea was formed of making it an almost 'Indiana Jones type adventure' with explorers finding a secret way into the Sphinx. This resulted in the journal entry above to set the scene. 

I spent a fair bit of time getting the Phrygian Dominant scale under my fingers for the electric guitar work to contrast Dave's sinuous, winding synth lines.

The end result hopefully does lead the listener on the adventure, with a grand start, a way inside, wonder, peril then danger, before a hurried escape by a different exit as the Sphinx defeats the intruders and seals all the doorways forever. Finally a tiny reprise featuring a departing helicopter closes out the track.

I-Midsummer Ocean

Amore ritrovato 
in fondo sono stato fortunato 
a vivere un amore ritrovato 
entrato dalla porta del destino
ed ora  che non sei  qui vicino
mi rimane questo nodo nella gola
al pensiero che rimani ora sola
viviamo in due mondi un po diversi
ci sentiamo sconfitti e  anche persi
É stato un regalo inaspettato   
abbracciati ci alzavamo sempre in volo
consapevoli dell'amore ritrovato 
ma ora piango perché anch'io resto solo
vorrei comandasse il mio cuore
che guidasse con la forza il mio pensiero
che non dicesse la parola é finita 
che indicasse il percorso della  vita
vorrei comandasse il mio cuore
per poterti dire sempre sei il mio amore
dare un calcio a un passato sfortunato
per cantare questo amore ritrovato
sono stato sordo, cieco e imbranato
e fa male capirlo solo adesso e mi dispiace 
che non sono riuscito a trattenere ciò che avevo
e bastava che guardassi bene dentro le mani
quelle mani che avrebbero cambiato il mio domani
quelle mani che hanno mille volte accarezzato il tuo viso
quel tuo viso che ancora oggi è il ritratto dell'innocenza
e  non vorrei mai starne senza
vorrei comandasse il mio cuore
che dettasse i comandi al mio pensiero
che non dicesse la parola é finita 
che indicasse il percorso della nostra vita
vorrei comandasse il mio cuore
per poterti dire sempre sei il mio amore
dare un calcio a un passato sfortunato
per cantare questo amore ritrovato

Amore ritrovato

Hey guys ! If you like my music, hit the like and repost ! Thank you  ; ) 

[Verse]
 I gave my honey, a honey-do-list
Honey said "no-can-do, did you, forget about my fishing trip?
 I'll do it when I get back, you can count on that
I'll be back in a week, baby you sure look sweet"

[Verse]

I woke up this morning, made my coffee with Bailey's Irish cream
I have the house to myself for a week, every married woman's dream
I'm planning my day, full of nothing but me 
Maybe tidy up the house a little, maybe do some light laundry

[Bridge]

I’m thinking bubble baths, a little day drinkin'
Clear my head, with a little less thinkin'
Got my bunny slippers on and a book in my hand
But the universe
Oooh She had other plans

[Chorus]
When life gives you lemons you squeeze ‘em real tight
Add a little sugar and you’ll be alright
I bet you a fiver, I can fix this like MacGyver
 I can be a "fix- it" chick
I can get it get it fixed quick 


[Verse]
Oh No! The washer’s spinning like it’s ready to launch
I try to open the damn lid, but the lid is locked 
It might help if I set down my glass of Merlot
Let's see how this is gonna go 
 I'll watch a washer repair You-Tube video

I got this
(ay, ay, ay,)
I got this 
(ay, ay, ay)

[Verse]

I sit down to relax with a rum and coke
Oh no! The dog ate the remote
I poke her belly, to turn the TV on 
She looks at me like, Dog Mom? seriously?
 Thank God the last channel I was watchin'
was Crime TV

I got this
I got this

The garbage disposal is on the fritz
Honestly, I don't need any of this, 
I grab the broom handle, lodge it against the blades 
 I grind in a circular motion, with a firm hold
Just like a stripper on a stripper pole

(I'm just kidding) 

I got this
I got this

[Chorus]
When life gives you lemons you squeeze ‘em real tight
Add a little sugar and you’ll be alright
I bet you a fiver, I can fix this like MacGyver
I can be a "fix- it" chick
I can get it get it fixed quick 

I got this
I got this 
I got this

I Got This

Lyrics:
J'entends les cris là-haut d'une autre qui se débat , d'une femme qui pour cette fois ci n'est pas moi. Rien ne doit transparaitre , je ne dois pas laisser mes larmes couler et se frayer un chemin jusqu'à mes lèvres scellées . Et même si les bleus sous ma peau se réveillent , je dois les ignorer et agir comme si tout était pareil...
La peur de lui parce qu'un verre de trop
surtout se fondre invisible sans  mots
elle en vit par la force à coté de la vie
prisonnière isolée sans porte de sortie
cécité de son sang et de ses amitiés
ne pas parler se taire rien ne doit transpirer
se voiler d' un rideau de tissus de mensonge
triste jeu de cache cache qui consume et qui  ronge
Et il dit qu'il l'adore...Toujours un peu plus fort... jusqu'à la mort
mentir au soleil quand la lune voit tout
les nuits sont cruelles écrasées de tabous 
la honte qui maquille la vérité trop laide
qui étouffe les cris de ces appels à l'aide
accoudés au silence les sévices bien tranquilles
se prennent du bon temps ils jouent à domicile
au coupable les mains pleines de frappes de raisons
à la victime le doute de fuir sa déraison
Et il dit qu'il l'adore...Toujours un peu plus fort... jusqu'à la mort
le sourire de façade sous des tonnes de semblants
donner le change à celles comblées par leurs amants
vider ses yeux de tout ce qui pourrait trahir
ces miroirs la qui font qu'elle ne pourrait mentir
les bleus des sentiments qui lui cognent à la peau
violence d'un élément qui laisse sur le carreau
un corps vandalisé mort pour la fratrie
tombé au champ d'horreur abattu par celui
Qui disait qu'il l'adore...Toujours un peu plus fort... jusqu'à la mort
des baisers dans la gueule
caresses à poings fermés
d'un amour qui dégueule
de passions débordées
La tendresse des coups
Je ne peux les laisser atteindre ce rivage à nouveau où les vagues d'une mer intérieure continue se brisent en silence...

I can hear the cries of another woman struggling, a woman who this time is not me. I mustn't let anything show, I mustn't let my tears flow and make their way to my sealed lips. And even if the bruises under my skin awaken, I must ignore them and act as if everything were the same...
Fear of him because one glass too many
above all melting away invisible without words
she lives by force beside life
prisoner isolated with no way out
blindness of her blood and her friendships
don't talk shut up nothing must transpire
veil itself with a curtain of cloth of lies
sad game of hide and seek that consumes and gnaws away
And he says he adores her...always a little harder... until death
lie to the sun when the moon sees all
nights are cruel crushed by taboos 
shame that disguises the truth too ugly
that muffles the cries for help
crouched in silence quiet abuse
have a good time they play at home
to the guilty hands full of strikes of reasons
to the victim the doubt to flee his folly
And he says he loves her... always a little harder... until death
the facade of a smile under tons of pretence
giving the lie to those fulfilled by their lovers
emptying her eyes of anything that might betray
those mirrors that make it impossible for her to lie
the bruises of feelings pounding against her skin
violence of an element that leaves
a vandalized body dead for the siblings
fallen in the field of horror shot by the one
who said he adores her...always a little harder... until death
kisses in the face
caresses with closed fists
of a love that spews out
of overflowing passions
The tenderness of blows
I can't let them reach that shore again where the waves of a continuous inner sea break in silence...

Ruminator

In 2018, I did a SoundCloud collaboration with @clive-hawkins after one of his tracks inspired me to write lyrics over his haunting instrumental 'After the Bomb'.

Clive had posted the line "let us not forget the consequences............of unleashing weapons of mass destruction!", and that comment, coupled with listening to his moody track, had me writing the complete lyrics inspired by his music in about 1.5 hours.

In 2025, I am currently working with accomplished keyboard player and Prog Rock enthusiast @Dee-Zee (Dave Zeitlin), to create an Ethno-Prog album 'Beyond the Veiled Horizon'. 

https://soundcloud.com/mrbouzouki/sets/beyond-the-veiled-horizon-series

So when I recently re-heard the old collaboration I wondered if Dave's keyboard wizardry could add a whole new dimension to the lyrics. The message in the lyrics has perhaps has even more urgency in 2025. 

The Doomsday Clock currently stands at 89 seconds to midnight. 
https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/2025-statement/

Using Clive's harmonic rhythm that inspired the melody, that inspired the lyrics, I basically gave Dave a blank slate to see what he could come up with as parts. As usual he delivered some amazing ideas and playing and this left me re-assembling this Redux version of the collaboration. Once again, I made use of the Alto vocal talents of 'Mrs Bouzouki' in a vocal harmony section and as part of some harmony stacks. Towards the end, the additional female backing lines are from the Soundiron 'Voices of Gaia' collection featuring the vocal talents of Linda Strawberry.

I feel the addition of a church organ really added to the track. As a result I removed a choir part I added in the original collaboration and added some low strings to add some weight to the bottom end in places. Besides piano, Dave also added some synth pads to keep things interesting during what is quite a long track. I hope that people can hear why I enjoy working with Dee Zee. I think he's done a fantastic job with this track.

I decided to keep my original vocal takes from 2018 but I feel the track has benefited from my improved mixing and production techniques. 

I feel that once again this track is a great example of how music can be created using the SoundCloud platform. A collaboration can build on a collaboration to create something bigger than the sum of the parts. Thanks @clive-hawkins for being the catalyst for this and @dee-zee for your compositional skill and playing. 

As a follow-up to this song you can watch this movie on the Internet Archive, produced in 1969 about the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombs of 1945. Some of the imagery is not for the faint-hearted.

Lyrics

After The Bomb - P Goodrich 22/01/2018

One World, One Tribe
One Fate, One Life
Two Sides, Too Late
Just What Have We Done

Dead Streets, Dead Lives
Dead Seas, Dark Skies
We've Gone, Too Far
Ohhhh We've Lost It All

(C)
And The People Cried As One
With The Firing Of A Gun
Too Late For Second Thoughts
Too Late For All Of Us

No Race, No Faith,
No News, No Lies
Past Ways, Past Lives
They're Over and Done

Dark Days, Dark Times
Dark Deeds, Dark Minds
No Hope, All Gone
We've Nowhere To Run

C)
And The People Cried As One
With The Firing Of The Gun
Too Late For Second Thoughts
Too Late For All Of Us

(organ instrumental)

No Rest, No Sleep
No Love, Just Hate
Dull Hearts, Dead Minds
The Future It’s Gone

One World, One Tribe
One Fate, One Life
Two Sides, Too Late
Oh What Have We Done

(C)
And The People Cried As One
With The Firing Of The Gun
Too Late For Second Thoughts
Too Late For All Of Us

One World, One Tribe
(Ad Lib)
We’ve Nowhere To Run
(Final Whispered) After The Bomb ... After The Bomb

Kennedy Wilde - GTA (Remix by Pop House Production)

Another snippet from Caligo Paean, darker in tone to evoke the power Of Caligo, who wasn't just in charge of mist but ruled the domain of chaos. 

Caligo Paean is a 1 hour long sound piece installed on river front property in the town of Franklin, Tasmania as part of the exhibition "When The Fog Clears". It formed part of the Ten Days on The Island Festival March 2025.
The work was installed in several locations across the property including a stack of subs under an old bus, in the main exhibition space and in an abandoned shed some 40 metres from the main area . The speakers were 'tuned' quite differently depending on their location and the sound was not delay corrected with the result of each mini-installation merging with each other in odd sonic ways - kind of calling the listener from one spot to another. The the work features field recordings, percussion, piano, bass guitar and Intonarumori as well as this special one off choir : )

Caligo is the Ancient goddess of Chaos. Born of the fog she controls the darkness, dwells in the void and is as old as the primordial matter that created the universe. This work is a tribute to the goddess as she continues to influence our lives and, in the case of this installation, the site and concept informing the show.

Official press release below for The Fog Clears

Every day, the mists of the Huon Valley perform a seductive dance, gently obscuring and revealing contours of the fertile land and waters. Situated in The Watershed Franklin, When The Fog Clears features six artists from lutruwita / Tasmania exploring the region’s iconic mists through a variety of mediums including installation, sculpture, illustration, sound, and video.

Developed exclusively for Franklin, this exhibit extends from the waterfront itself into the chambers, kilns, and rafters of the shed, inviting visitors to consider fog as an atmosphere that can cloak us in unexpected ways.

Heads up minimal crew, we’ve got a proper late-night groover coming your way. Six Shots EP by AJK(US) hits Techords on July 24th and it’s pure backroom pressure from start to finish.

AJK(US) has been bubbling on the underground radar for a minute, notching top 25 status on Beatport’s minimal deep/tech charts and slinging out sleazy rollers via labels like Gritty Records and Techords. Now he’s back with a fresh four-tracker built for basements, rooftops, and everywhere in between.

Raised on piano, guitar, and drums before going full tilt into house music after moving to Miami, AJK(US) brings a musician’s touch to the booth. There’s structure, swing, and a filthy sense of space across this new cut.

‘Six Shots’ leads the charge with a shuffling groove that’s all snare snaps and late-night strut. Proper heads-down gear. B-side business stays sharp too, with tight percussion and woozy synths built for that 4am zone when the sweat’s dripping and the phones are gone.

This one’s tailor-made for fans of minimal deep/tech who like their basslines cheeky and their grooves hypnotic.

Six Shots EP by AJK(US) is out on Techords this week. Grab it on Beatport, run it up on Spotify, and get it in your sets. You’ll know what to do.

This track is part of an ongoing SoundCloud collaboration with accomplished keyboard player and Prog Rock enthusiast Dave Zeitlin.

In my head I had the idea of the bazaar in this track being a mixing of cultures, ideas and the buying and selling of goods. Despite the heat, it is a place that never truly sleeps although it's mood changes throughout the day and into the evening. A meeting of minds, cultures, jarring, exciting and exotic.

With that in mind I thought of an initially busy track with discrete sections to denote different parts of the bazaar that also changes from day into evening. 

I created a basic intro and then let Dave weave some of his keyboards into the mix. I then set to work on trying to give the idea of entering new parts of the marketplace and in the end a simple tam-tam crash seemed to work well to suggest a new vista or mood as the listener moves through the track. Different darbuka rhythms really helped here and also changing up the featured instruments. 

The later part of the track is hopefully suggesting later in the day, as the temperature decreases and many vendors shut up shop for the day. But it never truly closes so the outro reprises the initial riff as it fades out.

Lyrics:

I quit smoking today...
What can i say...?
Don't know what to do
Use to smoke when I miss you
Now I have nothing at all..

I have to find another way
When I can't smoke all day
Going crazy missing you
Without the smoke, what can I do?
Holding my breath as long as I can..

3... 2...1...

Oh, I'm dizzy, feeling weird
Maybe I should have a drink instead?

I have to find another way
When I can't smoke all day
Going crazy missing you
Without the smoke, what can I do?
Holding my breath as long as I can...

3...2...1...

Oh, I'm dizzy, feeling weird
Maybe I should have a drink instead?

Holding My breath as long as I can..
3... 2... 1... 

Oh, I'm dizzy, feeling weird
Maybe I should have a drink instead?

Quit Smoking

Amour qui n'est qu'amour, qui vit sans espérance
De soi-même par soi par soi-même agité
Qui surpasse en aimant l'âme et la connaissance
Que cet amour est près de la divinité

Amour sans fin

[Verse]
Amour qui brûle
Qui danse
Qui flambe
Dans le silence
Où tout s’embrase
Un feu fragile
Une douce flamme
Un éclat d’ombre
Une douce extase

[Chorus]
Que cet amour
Oh cet amour
Qui vole haut
Qui fend les jours
Un cri
Un souffle
Une vérité
Près de la divinité

[Verse 2]
Il court sans chaînes
Il rêve sans peur
Les cieux le guident
La nuit l’appelle
Un vent qui siffle
Un parfum de fleurs
Un mystère doux
Une étincelle

[Chorus]
Que cet amour
Oh cet amour
Qui vole haut
Qui fend les jours
Un cri
Un souffle
Une vérité
Près de la divinité

[Bridge]
Et si le ciel tombait sur nos têtes
Et si le temps cessait ses pas
L’amour persiste
L’amour s’entête
Il est tout ce que l’on a

[Chorus]
Que cet amour
Oh cet amour
Qui vole haut
Qui fend les jours
Un cri
Un souffle
Une vérité
Près de la divinité
