Smelting and other hobbies

Calm & Steady series

- short tracks of dance music

All tracks were uploaded between 11/2020 and 03/2021, mostly in 2021, with the following older exceptions:
. . - yot "Unforgettable Moment"(#14): 4 years,
. . - Antinex "Haunted"(#19): 12 - 23 months,
. . - Interplain "Rain"(#15): 9 months,
. . - Upset The Rhythm (Sleeper & Snake - 'Reach Out')(#5): 6 months.

The other series (short tracks) so far are:
- "Hard-Fast-or-Nasty" (more intense/abrasive)
- "MiddleLane", and "Superdance" (the middle, or ambivalence)
- "Funky-Dub-Trap" (terminology conundrum)
- "Fantaisies" (for professional dancers only)
- "Minimal"
- "Dark"
- "BreakB-Jungle-DnB"

There is little overlap between them, mostly between: *
. . A) MiddleLane, Superdance
and
. . B) all other series

* Increasingly there is some overlap between "Calm & Steady" and "Funky-Dub-Trap", and between a bunch of others (Dark, Minimal, ...). I'm trying to keep it to the minimum, the overlap, tracks finding themselves in more than one playlist

Burning Ember - The Collection

Another of fellow Dorset based poet CJ Harrington's pieces set to music

Check out his soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/c-j_harrington and website https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcjharrington.co.uk%2F&token=19a002-1-1615131688735

THE RAVEN
The dark bird caws an aching creak, jarring
high in the branches of my twisted hazel

Light drips thickly - like warm blood or hot metal -
from the anvil angles of its beak, cuts short
breeze, divides still water, and settles
deep in the silence of the little pond beneath

It is not the tawdry light of the mind
where still limbs, still torso, still breath pull close -
become justified - where truth is vulnerable to age

Nor is it the light of secret gardens, of mists
unsettling and godless clarity eclipsing everything

An illusive bat mapping shady new worlds
by shriek and wail.  The old owl's careful murders
These fears swoop in the cool of night

But this raven comes with the light.  Hopping and strutting
Gently tip tap tapping.  Its black glint encumbering
ornamental cherry trees, beach and oaks with ease

And it brings the white-hot light of fear.  The clarity of danger
The fat weight of doubt that lingers near
The crack in peace.  The spark of both death and change

The Raven (featuring the Poetry of CJ Harrington)

MY MISTAKE
------------------
I lacked that tenacity you forecasted for me
last week

I lost my grip

the steadfastness and patience
you prayed for
was lost on me
the way pages are lost flinging
from an open case

tattered, worn/leathered
open case
that files away
unanswered questions, as if they never         pile up

my resolute demeanour that
escapes me now
I boasted so gracefully

with rough tongue i do
lick my wounds
and tears i kept for too long
do well to subdue
the promise of your return

I lie with hope every night
leaving myself alone

that determination you thought you saw in my eyes
was certain, daunting anger
hidden rage barking in the voice of hate

so righteous I became;
the director and projector of my pain

when the truth is a story of the choiceless one must
begin again

such a clean-slate you flung at me
all it caught was this ego-stenched
pungent smell of fury

it drips over my every move
like poison to fool
those blessings you shower upon me now
those borrowed tears I’ve used
trying to wipe away my mistake –
my de-robed mind

"Remember the song about Oleg's mushroom hat? This is a remix! The mushroom friends asked for a vinyl record with this because they only have an old gramophone. Who knew that they would play with the record and put their effects there? They invited us to a ball in honor of some of their seasonal holiday. It was fun! "

Mystique Wind | Oleg's Mushroom Hat Reworked

This cover was originally planned to be a collaboration, but it has been aborted about a month ago, since my alleged collaborative partners stated that I was "unable to cooperate on the sort of creative level that they generally expect" from those who have the privilege to work with them. Being well aware of my inadequacy, I usually try to make music for fun, simply because I love doing that. I can't spend as much time as I'd like to on my music, unfortunately, so I really can't afford to waste it: that's why I eventually decided to add a few drums and keyboards parts to the aborted collaboration and release it. Please watch out for your ears while listening to it, as it probably sounds poor and shoddy. It surely does if compared to the original, that goes without saying. May Syd Barrett rest in peace, despite of all of the slandering and treachery he had to endure.

I'd like to dedicate this cover to my uncle, who initiated me into the sonic mysteries of "Ummagumma" at a very early age, giving me a chance to open up the doors of my perception.

Astronomy Domine - Syd Barrett cover by Teth Sin

Me and Hideo rock-in' it out, good old spontaneous jam style, in fun-fun-fun mode. Nothing's better than a live jam...I l-i-v-e for it! In case you might be wondering, the far off distant psychedelic vocals are in fact deliberate...I tried to create the picture that we are up in the cosmic realm among the planets and stars jamming it up oh so blissfully, trying to please the Gods, the universe and all who dwell within. We are physically so far away from one another yet spiritually, we are so near and ready...ready to give you the instant magical vibrational feeling. At least we hope we're doing that. The intox-hypno-trance vocals are actually me telling Hideo how excited I am to be jamming with him....jamming to his super charged up kit-percussion! From the first moment I heard Hideo play his drums, I was completely gone as in stoned out of my mind. We're both feeling happy high elated in the Cosmos so please do come along and join us in our Happy Hap-Hap number...take your first dose now XOXOXO

& "Tall Trees" https://nothingispersonal.wordpress.com/2011/04/02/tall-ceilings/

FLOODING IN
simply a watershed for a window that never bleeds
only my eyes keep it all from flooding in
the only light seen before me as i begin
to make moonlight echo like sound breaks moving waves

the only light seen
like sound breaks
moving waves
sunshine begins
the day parts and i sing

i never bleed dry
i always am the fool
i won’t hold regret
for the eye that never bleeds

the window keeps it all
from flooding in

TALL TREES
For without long hallways and tall ceilings there is little
ledge to perch
corridors plenty with windows carving etchings for shadow or light

here my voice carries well
fresh & cool as nightingale calls amidst tall columns of birch
i crave to hear the echo

I WAS SURE
I put my hand in the fire
I put my hand in the fire a long time ago

All the pieces of the board
they’re lost on me
I know they were there before…

I put my hand in the fire

They’re lost on me
the pieces on the board
they’re no more….

They were there before

And I’m still burnin

where did the pieces go?
they were there before….

And I’m still burnin

Queen was looking on you….
… King likes to shiver we know, we know, we know

they were there before…sure I was sure
they were there before

sure i was sure
those pieces on the board

pawns under your toes
all the silence and hopes

and i’m still burnin
psssst…. and i’m still burnin

oh right away! its nothing I could capture!
yeah you try and then so… where did the pieces go?
they were there before

if you wanna
disappear

WARMTH
---------------
and i go to those hidden valleys and ridges
known to the likes of ancient creatures and spirits
and with my eyes down and my hair wild
i ask my lovers of past
to take my picture

as if the mist did never have lips!
and mossy bark won’t hold even a scrape of my skin!
there standing in
defiance and manic understanding
like a tease
my hair wild

i feel
i am no mystery
without my warmth
for the cold-pressed loss
lasts, lasts
time itself, baked in your name

the creatures and spirits
my eyes and hair,
we burn
and rise once again

so lovers of past
take my picture
for my warmth i send

FILLIIN UP WITH MO

I am full and 

said i wanted for nothing more
said i wanted for nothing more

well we never know (really) know a way
a way

said i wanted for nothing more

"REPLAY" IN A WORLD OF WALLS
 _________________________________

 In a world of walls
In a world of walls

politicization of self?
 De!politicization of self! 
 Contextualize yourself

Take Comfort!
  For without long hallways
 and tall ceilings
 there is little ledge to perch 
corridors plenty 
with windows carving etchings 
for shadow 
for light

in a world of walls
inherited a memory…
in a world of walls 
in a world 
in a world
inherited a memory
in a world of walls 
in a world
 in a world of walls 
in a world

She’d had the back turned, over the years! 
She’d had her back turned, over the years!
She’s had her back turned, Oh oh!

See the city streets are so crowded
 in a world of walls 
in a world of walls
a Replay!
 in a world of walls! 
It’s a replay, in a world of walls, its a replay!
Oh oh!

 sour crude interaction! 
replays! that’s the play!
 replays! that’s the play! 
replays!

Think Again! Think Again! 
Replays!
Thats the play! 
Replay!
Crude! 
Think Again!

Rewind and play again?
 memories, memories! 
play a game, play a game 
it’s thick and caked on in ugly display again 
on a shelf for high price again 

today, my scent is bloody 
saliva in my mouth
  weak and shivering 
each breath: beating: closer to peace : closer to calm

(beneath a brew of memories)
 today my scent is bloody
beneath the weight the art lays
today my scent is bloody

Skin Is On Fire (Life as a River) by Filosophyre

So happy to work on the track https://soundcloud.com/pablomoretti/2001-maniacs
from https://soundcloud.com/pablomoretti
Because his work inspires me very much!! Love his style, check it out!

Lyrics:

Travail, achète, répète
ne sors pas, confine-toi mais achète
(est-ce que c'est ça le nouveau monde?)
parce que si tu ne consommes pas
tout s'effondrera
(travail, achète, répète)

where are we going
the world is burning
(mais t'as l'habitude, t'es habitué à ça)
like fire
a fire of joy
or a fire of hate
a fire that burns
more than heating 
it bursts
destroying everything
and you're still feeling nursed
you don't feel the curse

tu sens pas ce qui va nous arriver?

Travail, achète, répète
ne te rebelles pas, confine-toi
et n'oublies pas
travail, achète, répète
le système compte sur toi
il n'est rien sans toi
si tu ne consommes pas
il s’effondra

Translation of french parts:
Work, buy, repeat
don't get out, confine yourself but buy
(is it the new world?)
because if you don't consume
everything will collapse
(work, buy, repeat)

(but you're used to it, you're used to that)

Don't you feel what is going to happen to us

work, buy, repeat,
do not rebel, confine yourself 
and don't forget
work, buy, repeat
the system is counting on you
it is nothing without you
if you don't consume
it will collapse

great appreciation to a

conscious music,
enabling me to weave
a poetry of resilience.
journeying to mystic places,
reflection, projected in waves of rhythm.
feeling home in melodies
made of new and old.
paintings to spark the soul.
