somewhat terrifying, immensely paranoid, untimely and familiar - a comforting nightmare

The theme was dreams

https://soundcloud.com/douglasmseidel: banjo, bass, beans, drum, cowbell, gong, organ, other stuff, penta guitar, toy piano, water jug 

todd: drumset, crow call, percussion, semi-modular, voices, whistling, words



it started with a plastic 24oz jar 
half filled with foamy yellow liquid 
and some very sticky residue at the top

tom of tom and jerry
fame
had one broken ear
he was sitting on the ledge 
of the garage window

I can’t remember what I was doing

but I know I was wearing a 
poultry keel necklace
that laid so elegantly 
over my clavicles

every thought 
every measure 
gets bigger and faster 
and further from the next

plumb shucks said to thumb plucks 
untuck that loose end of the dumpling lover
and wrap some warm rising dough around your head
dumb luck kept ducking under the fun chunks 
until he realized he was bouncing on a shingle instead
he said that’s some kinda skipping slip of the bliss bud

chimichuck said to raisin brains

wrench mouth woman has a heart in her throat
with the wave of her stick arms she weaves me a coat 
the birds that are flying carry sticks to her breast
crescent wrench moon lucky charms and the rest

sticky residue

words:

I froze at the podium
blinky blinky in my turtle shell
i got the hot wax anemia short circuit
i almost fell
she asked me how can you live without sunlight
we turned our heads and we agreed
you tell me now the weeds we pulled out were stuck in tight
i said the recent rains made them easy to pull
she pulled up in a quick way and rolled down her window
I dropped the flowered bag in there and then she was gone
there is a scrungie on that fish
there is a scrubber on that fish
you are delightful as a wish and I’m glad you’re gone
she asks how can you live without sunlight
we turned our heads and we agreed
frozen at the podium
blinky blinky in my turtle shell

The painting is ‘The Course of Empire’ by Thomas Cole (1801 – 1848).

Say a prayer and don’t despair about the cost of living crisis 
Cos life’s not fair and they don’t care about the rising prices 
The millionaires and billionaires wield their wicked powers
they own the shares, they don’t pay the fares, they’re not working longer hours

  They contaminate, discriminate, and revel in their sleaze 
  the permafrost is lost, but we still have the wage freeze 

the bankers are all bigots, experts in exploitation 
oil tankers and their frigates reeking eco-devastation
while we reimburse the nurses with the joy of food banks 
and the curse of empty purses and our hollow huge thanks

  You’ll find that it’s impossible to get paid any less
  can’t save no money saving lives for the NHS

The CEOs who freely chose to bolster their careers 
They’re mosquitoes in tuxedos bloodsucking profiteers 
who smoke cigars with glowing hearts, toasting market forces  
They’re Oligarchs, they’re greedy sharks, they’re feeding on the corpses

  The ambulance abandoned us, so now we need a hearse
  Yes the times they are a-changing… but they’re changing for the worse

I blame the vloggers and the bloggers, I don’t “like” and I don’t “subscribe”
All that scrolling and a trolling, through soundbites and diatribes
and we fixate on the clickbait that seems to be hell-bent 
on dictating that the content fuels our discontent 

        All the species being ghosted, wiped out like dinosaurs
        While we’re busy being offended, and fighting culture wars

Shopaholic fashionistas with their selfies and their memes 
And reams of influencers beat us senseless by extremes
it’s a trash-bag full of hashtags, rubbish flowing in our streams
algorithms causing schisms and addiction to our screens

        We’re the masters of our destiny, but it isn’t as it seems 
        Who’s pushing who’s buttons? Are we slaves to the machines?

Narcissistic mystics with their conspiracy theories
Going viral in a spiral of Netflix mini series
And woeful social media, where profiles are a deepfake
It’s a form of schizophrenia, like a hollywood remake

      We make a virtue of our vanity, embracing the absurd
      with virtual reality, to replace the real world

Lyrics:
Sometimes I lose my mind, sometimes I just can't find it, sometimes I feel like I try too hard, sometimes I just break ties with it, no lies, I get with it, sometimes I melt into my core, sometimes I'm not me anymore, sometimes I am just a watcher...

Impro Chris & Sarah

This is a live recording done at Sipos studios. We put down quite a few tracks in one day as we were well rehearsed leading up to steady gigging ( we had hoped ).   This is the blues version of of an originally folkish song written by me. Lyrics:  
I thought In had the answer I guess I didn't know
Thought I had the answer, guess I didn't know
Thought I had it figured out, I guess it goes to show
Well I lost myself in pages turned and now im looking back at bridges burned.

Well I thought I didn't need you, I guess I couldn't see
Well In thought I didn't need you, I guess I couldn't see
Wanted to be left alone, now whats become of me
Well I spent all of my chances earned and now im past the point of no return
Chorus
As I wait in darkness.. your footsteps softly fall
That Im might be hearing them, makes no sense at all
Then I feel you next to me, the tears begin to fall
As In try to speak you hush me with your eyes
And suddenly I'm standing in the loving light of lessons learned

Now I begin to know you, a little more each day
As I begin to know you , a little more each day
All illusions that I had, they seem to wash away
And it seems that Ive become a guide for all the lonely souls who could be turned






Lessons Learned

This is not based on the movie sound track but wanted to do something related to  raven and vikings.

*When the Raven Flies is a 1984 Icelandic-Swedish adventure film written and directed by Hrafn Gunnlaugsson. The story is set in Viking Age Iceland.

THE RAVEN FLIES

J'ai voulu reprendre cette magnifique chanson de Julien Clerc.
Un classique de la chanson française, probablement inconnu à l'étranger.
La mélodie, les accords, le sens, tout correspond à ce que je cherche à composer moi-même.
Cette version se veut un peu plus dramatique en accord avec le texte 
(translated below)

----
"À quoi sert une chanson si elle est désarmée?"
Me disaient des chiliens, bras ouverts, poings serrés
Comme une langue ancienne
Qu'on voudrait massacrer
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à rêver

Comme la lune fidèle à n'importe quel quartier
Je veux être utile à ceux qui m'ont aimé
À ceux qui m'aimeront
Et à ceux qui m'aimaient
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à chanter

Ah-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

Dans n'importe quel quartier d'une lune perdue
Même si les maîtres parlent et qu'on ne m'entend plus
Même si c'est moi qui chante
À n'importe quel coin de rue
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à rêver

Ah-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

"À quoi sert une chanson si elle est désarmée?"
Me disaient des chiliens, bras ouverts, poings serrés
Comme une langue ancienne
Qu'on voudrait massacrer
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à rêver
Comme la lune fidèle à n'importe quel quartier
Je veux être utile à ceux qui m'ont aimé
À ceux qui m'aimeront
Et à ceux qui m'aimaient
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à chanter

"À quoi sert une chanson si elle est désarmée?"

-----
“What good is a song if it's disarmed?”
Chileans said to me, arms open, fists clenched
Like an ancient language
That one would like to massacre
I want to be useful
To live and to dream

Like the moon faithful to any neighborhood
I want to be useful to those who have loved me
To those who will love me
And to those who loved me
I want to be useful
To live and to sing

Ah-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

In any quarter of a lost moon
Even if the masters speak and I'm no longer heard
Even if I'm the one singing
On any street corner
I want to be useful
To live and to dream

Ah-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

“What good is a song if it's disarmed?”
Chileans said to me, arms open, fists clenched
Like an ancient language
That someone would like to massacre
I want to be useful
To live and to dream
Like the moon faithful to any neighborhood
I want to be useful to those who have loved me
To those who will love me
And to those who loved me
I want to be useful
To live and to sing

“What good is a song if it's unarmed?”

Your Fool by Keri Johnson

Album cover design: Judy Thang

There's a smoke signal rising in the night sky
should've listened to the voice warning me inside

No, I never stopped believing in your light
something I could not imagine, it was blindsight

You're a liar- and I'm your fool

You're a liar-and I'm your fool

Caught up in your web, believing what I wanted to
slowly dying every day that I deny my truth

Now I'm picking up the pieces all that I been thru
kept me tied, I'll never go back tho you ask me to

Keri Johnson's Album

Your Fool

I am an experimental music maker operating on the boundary between improvisation and structure, utilizing a modular Eurorack synthesizer to explore and transform various musical genres. I work within the conscious limitations that my instrument provides, which inspires me to find creative solutions within this ecosystem. My approach is dialogic and experimental, blending seemingly banal motifs with disordered noise in my work. I am not confined to any particular genre or style; instead, I draw inspiration from current emotions and let them guide me, pushing me beyond the boundaries of electronic music.


I'm looking for opportunities to play and jam together.😎

typical white brutality
Φ ¡ndustr¡al tɝchnō-funk Φ 
i like my music to sound like it's being played loudly on a cassette in a boom box in 1983.
