Tex Mex Shaman (Stephen)--rhythm/ slide guitars/ riff/ mix and post production--@texmex-shaman
Llanpsych (Tez)--lead guitar--@llanpsych
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)--bass guitar--@josh-clary-1
J.J. Terrell-- Piano/glockenspiel--@j-j-terrell 
Mysterious Decibel--lead and high backing vocals--@themysteriousdecibel
K2 and the Three (Ken)--drums/ cowbell( I had the fever)maracas/tambourine/ woodblock/ low harmonies--@k2andthe3, and @k2-kara


    This is a cover from Paul McCartney and Wings, from 1975 album, Venus and Mars, and this album was supported on their 1976 Wings over America tour. They always opened with Venus and Mars/Rockshow
     Ken sent Josh and Tez an email a few months back, about maybe covering this awesome rocker, after we released “Hello World." Before responding, Ken reposted his cover of "Richard Cory," a Simon and Garfunkel cover, sung by Denny Laine and Sir Paul on the Wings Over America triple live album. Stephen commented that “Rockshow” was one of the first songs he learned on guitar. Ken said, “Well, here’s your sign!" He freaked and invited Stephen to immediately contact Josh.
     We finished everything but the vocals by early June, but were stuck on lead vocalist. Several of the collective gave it a go, but nothing sounded right. Then came a late game idea. We had all been following and fans of The Mysterious Decibel for quite some time, so we asked him if he'd be interested in singing it. He was game, and really delivered what so many could not. He is a new, welcome addition to our mix. You'll also hear Stephen, who also accomplished the herculean task of mixing and producing this song, very ably play the entire song on the guitar, with Tez playing the ripping leads. 
  We hope you enjoy our labor of love that has been an entire summer in the making.

"I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-Beams glitter in the dark
Near the Tannhäuser Gates.
All those... moments... will be lost in time,
Like tears... in... rain.
Time... to die..."

Separation is the stage where we make our thoughts and emotions more defined by practicing introspection, self-awareness, and self-analysis.

A simple example of this process is understanding the difference between our anger and our grief or the conflicting desire to isolate ourselves but also connect with other people.

The process of separation involves truly becoming aware of our authentic feelings towards others and ourselves. In this stage, we choose to experience our anger, frustration, or disappointment towards another or ourselves, rather than reverting back to the old habit of dutifully trying to “forgive and forget” because it is the “right” or comfortable thing to do (or, on the other hand, to react and hold a grudge).

Separation is closely entwined with shadow work in that we must allow all feelings and thoughts within us to surface side by side and become aware of our “darker side.” This practice helps us to isolate particular elements of our character to honestly see and assess them, then to eventually consciously embrace and transform them."

Here is the text used here. The idea of the DIALOGUE CIRCLE is to listen to listening, to be mindful of thought’s tendency to identify with likes and dislikes, etc., and especially in good faith help one another by looking for contradictions. It’s a practice. Just like flute or violin. We have to work at, alone and together, every day.

Please forgive my own poor, always-almost-out-of-breath, performance. I deliberately composed the text in two very very long complex sentences, with more phrases than I can count on the fingers of one hand. I’ll post another take ASAP… LOL!

THE NEW MUSIC DIALOGUE CIRCLE:—tuning up our thinking in the daily practice of philosophy

Be simple.  A primary cause of the spiritual poverty of Western Musical Culture is not just the objectification of music and musicians, the result of more than 100 years of a vicious, all-pervasive predatory capitalism, or our tendency to force sound itself beyond its natural limits, the result of the now ubiquitous excessive use of electronic amplification, or to over-emphasize the athletic dimension of music by focusing obsessively on competition and awards, but it is also our tendency to instrumentalize music itself—that means to misuse and abuse it—for mere self-centered gain. 

For example, getting excited about what we are told are  “beautiful, talented, young female conductors” I fear mistakes obviously essential yet still mere outward gender emancipation for the primary problem of what are conductors good for in the first place? Like Generals “leading” their troops, I would argue that conductors are not only generally worse than useless, but essentially artifacts of an outmoded, highly misguided, deeply dualistic and divided culture that is still tacitly held captive by its own self-generated ensemble of illusions, illusions based largely on power, force, mechanical hierarchy, and control. Remarkably, these are the very same self-destructive desires and fragmentations the Muse and Music are there to help us heal and transcend in the first place. Think of that!

Improvisation III of and by Franck Douvin

Step 1: Choose a favorite short story.

Step 2: Compose a piece of music that follows the arc of the story’s narrative or otherwise conveys something about the story you want to express. You may closely follow plot points, or convey an overall atmosphere, or incorporate related sound effects, or do something else entirely.


Giovanni Boccaccio - Decameron
Giornata quarta - Novella prima

Tancredi, prenze di Salerno, uccide l’amante della figliuola e mandale il cuore in una coppa d’oro; la quale, messa sopra esso acqua avvelenata, quella si bee, e cosí muore.

E velati gli occhi ed ogni senso perduto, di questa dolente vita si dipartí.

Little jam with real Danmoi, fake trumpet, blown on EWI & fake bass, played on keyboard ;-)
The Octopus of course plays everything at the same time, while I do it one after the other; drum track first, lip harp after that, later the bass and the EWI at the end ;-)

LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES

Recorded with speakers playing back different frequency bands of the track with in a forest and recorded using binaural microphones. Co-ordinates for the approximate forest location: 
37°52'36.7"N 1°31'06.4"W

www.colour8.org

"Stunning compilation of tracks all mixed in 3D binaural to create vast soundscapes of atmosphere electronics and lost-in-space soundtrack ambience perfectly designed to be listened to on headphones. Hypnotic pieces from Mike Slott, Claude Speeed, Matthew Dear & many more have been edited and remixed by CJ Mirra in 3D (giving a feeling of being inside the music) onto a highly collectible USB stick and housed inside a bespoke hand crafted boxset with a 3D-printed Cosmonaut by Swedish digital artist Andreas Olsson. The Colour8 have crafted a truly exceptional release with Space Trix, Vol. 1, not only do the sounds captured within represent some of the finest work from the all star line up of producers involved but having it remixed and edited in 3D gives a completely new dimension to the music and when listened to on headphones has a surreal effect of full immersion like someone has dropped a bottle on analogue bubblebath inside a flotation tank. As an added bonus it even comes with a one-of-a-kind 3D-printed astronaut to boot. Opening with new material from LuckyMe's Mike Slott, 'Keep Me Here' is a super slow moving espionage journey through the nightside of Deckard's apartment while CJ Mirra starts off with what sounds like a Lee Gamble recollection of a half-remembered Detroit techno classic but with the drums long forgotten. Neon Jung keeps things on a classic AI tip while Claude Speeed paints his new age beats with a soaring cinematic brush across the audio sky built up on Air Loom. Elsewhere Matthew Dear lets drift a rolling tech-house cruiser as heard from a few thousand feet below and later highlight 'Moon Ego (Interlude)' by International Peoples Gang could be an off cut from that Public Info library comp Tomorrow's Achievements. One of the most interesting releases we have experienced in a long time, be it the 3D -printed Cosmonaut or the 3D soundtrack that encapsulates you whole with which it is in orbit, a real glimpse of future noir and sounds that blend the peaceful lucid dreams of AFX with the recently updated synth exposure of Suzanne Ciani to create a modern compilation of perfectly primed headphone escapism electronica that falls neatly into the lineage of futuristic sci-fi from classic B12 & Global Communication to early Eno airport ambience" BLEEP 2015

The original version of this track is available on his phenomenal album 'Headcage'

Matthew Dear - Around A Fountain 3D

The In the Moment Remix Tape reworks the already-chopped, altered, and looped spontaneous compositions of Makaya McCraven's 2xLP In the Moment. Crossing the boundaries of improvisation, composition and sampling, nine producer/beat makers from around the globe reworked the tracks into new beats and creations of repurposed audio. Makaya then remixed their remixes into two continuous mixtape sides, blending them with beats of his own, resampling the samplers of his original sliced and sampled spontaneous compositions.
