MIDNIGHT BLISS ALL AROUND

The cover photo is a game-play screenshot of a retro-style computer game I was programming and designing by myself a few years ago. Perhaps one day I'll finish that project... OR it will sit on my hard drive never to see the light of day again... I'm just bad at finishing things y'all. Anyway, this new track reminds me of the music on that game and borrows some of the sound samples. Hope you dig it!

LYRICS:

I will create a perfect world, a perfect world
I will create a perfect world, a perfect world
Where nothing gonna get me
Where nothing gonna get me
Where nothing gonna get me
Where nothing gonna get me

I'm gonna live a perfect life, the perfect life
I'm gonna live a perfect life, the perfect life
Then nothing gonna stop me
Then nothing gonna stop me
Then nothing gonna stop me
Then nothing gonna stop me

lyrics:
i am walking tightropes
i am walking tightropes
i am walking tightropes
what if i falllllll?

a little bit of this and 
a little bit of that
tit for tat
when the cat's away
the mice sure playyyy
and i cannot 
get away
from the 
cacophonic silence
in your eyes
this i realize
i am on thin ice
but it feels so nice
one, two, thrice
should suffice

i must quit this way
shake the day
ends in decay
i'd be so dismayed

to say the least

i am walking tightropes
i am walking tightropes
i am walking tightropes
what if i falllllll?.............

Tightropes

A Bridge Too Far

A Bridge Too Far with Tom Adams

Distraction

The town of Elephant Butte, not far from the town of Truth or Consequences, located in the high deserts of New Mexico, has been an obscure place not known or famous for anything in particular. But the townsfolk here keep a secret. A dark secret that no one outside of this town has ever known... until now.

I'm So Sick Of You (Being Sick Of Me)

This is the first song I ever put on SoundCloud and I just wanted to give it some new life because I believe that every day is an opportunity to get up and be grateful for the life you have and make space for the things that you want in your life :)

My son inspired this song before the pandemic one morning when he did not want to get out of bed and go to school. Now that we have been in lock down for way too long, he is begging to just go back to school in a regular classroom. And so am I. 

But I will show gratitude for what we have. We are safe and healthy and that is something to celebrate :)

Some lyrics

Get off your butt
Stand up
No more room 
For crying tears
Enough is enough
Get off your butt
Stand up
Don't you let life 
Get you down
Enough is enough

Cuz I don't wanna 
Isn't gonna
Work no more
Bring it 
If you know what 
You've been 
Looking For
Life isn't a game
That can be 
Left to chance
If you want something
You've got to make space
And so this dance 

So 

Get off your butt
Get off your butt

Cuz

I don't wanna
Isn't gonna 
Work no more

so 

Get off your butt

Get Off Your Butt

Get Off Your Butt (Remastered)

Look Around Now

Sunshine 
On my mind
Casting light
pure and fine
Dark as night
Blind to see
It’s a sight 
To be seen

Look look look around
Look around 

Look around now
Look around now

Life everlasting
Shade beneath a tree
Clean clear water
Running in a stream
Complicated systems
Turning into weeds
Growing into gardens
Easy as you please

Look look look around
Look around 

Look around now
Look around now
Look around now

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ SOLO ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Just enough is key 
Simple as can be

Send in the cavalry
Pull out all the stops
Can’t go back the way we came
So give it all you got
Change is just a way of life
We all know this is true
But as to direction 
It’s up to us to choose

Look look look around
Look around 

Look around now
Look around now
Look around now

LookAroundNow

Belepoc is a project I share with my long time collaborator Pablo Valotta. For the last 4 years we have been experimenting with different ideas ending up with no less than 20 tracks. We took five of them to make an EP already available on every streaming platform. This is the opening tune.

Hope you enjoy it.

Belepoc - Los Antiguos

Lyrics:-
Just trying to tell you
To open up your eyes
Just trying to show you
How you've believed the lies

I'm waiting for you
Until you're not so blind
So I can show you
How to enjoy the ride

Ignorance is bliss
So safe inside the construct
But the walls are closing in
Do you plan to stay
When truth decides to disrupt
Will you take it on the chin

It's what I'm thinking
I'll leave you to your thoughts
Aint gonna force you
The choice is yours of course

Ignorance is bliss
So safe inside the construct
But the walls are closing in
Do you plan to stay
When truth decides to disrupt
Will you take it on the chin

If I caught the moon
Graffitied on it's surface
All the who, what, where and whys
You would still believe
The stories you've been fed
So comfortable in your denial

A few years ago, one server crashed on my computer. Then I lost some midi files (including After Midnight) since I had not updated. But recently I found an old master file of After Midnight. So I remastered it.
For a while I thought I could make a whole new recording, but then it would be difficult to get the choruses identical. I am very happy with the choruses as they are.

When I made the composition I had a picture in my head of a woman who was the best dancer in the city. She always arrived after midnight and everyone was enchanted by her beautiful dance. Lucky was the one who got to dance with her.

After Midnight

I was honored when https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions asked me to remake ‘Tattlesnakes’ from their fantastic album ‘Pun’. Maybe it’s the wildest one, unpredictable but coherent, it inspired me immediately !!

I've remixed to my taste their original studio stems (drums & keyboards), adding my own vocals, guitars & more... hard recommendation of headphones again !!

Lyrics are from another of my ancient poems, where I played with oxytone & eproparoxytone rhymes (translated below but with lost effect in English).

Full versions album here: https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions/sets/another-pun-a-brand-new

Letra  /  Lyrics:

Claro que ya no soy plástico,  /  Clearly I’m not plastic anymore,
ni estoy falto de razón,  /  nor lacking of reason,
puesto que, siendo simpático,  /  since, being friendly,
de sangre es mi corazón.  /  of blood is my heart.

Claro que soy esporádico  /  Clearly I am sporadic
en locos cantos espléndidos.  /  in splendid crazy singings.

Gritos de loco dolor,  /  Screams of insane pain,
llenos de mudo amargor,  /  full of mute bitterness,
claro que ya no son gélidos.  /  clearly are not icy anymore.

Claro que ya soy simpático  /  Clearly I’m yet friendly
y estoy falto de amargor,  /  and lacking of bitterness,
puesto que mi corazón,  /  since my heart,
siendo de sangre, no es plástico.  /  being of blood, is not plastic.

Y en mis cantos esporádicos,  /  And in my sporadic singings,
claro que ya no soy gélido.  /  clearly I’m not icy anymore.

Gritos de loca razón,  /  Screams of mad reason,
ya no gritos de dolor,  /  not screams of pain anymore,
claro que ya son espléndidos!  /  clearly are yet splendid!

thank to @Eclectronix for the lyrics  
L'uomo cerca di vivere intensamente, completamente, perfettamente.
Quando potrà farlo senza ledere la libertà altrui e senza esserne mai leso, quando le sue attività gli frutteranno soddisfazioni, sarà più sano, più normale, più civile più se stesso.
La felicità è il criterio col quale l'uomo giudica la natura, è in armonia con se stesso e il suo ambiente.
Disfruto la libertad
Lo único que puedo sentir
La empatía se va
Siento placer al herir
 
Libre de un puzle hacer
De seguir un patrón
Para que puedan ver
Que alguien el crimen firmo
 
Nada lo hago al azar
Juego con la libertad
De inocentes sin culpa
 
Pienso siempre jugar
Dicen que está mal
Yo no lo puedo notar

The wonderful Frank Wilke has recently sent me a bunch of files for a new big project involving a heap of great musicians. As a warm up to this new project, and for a bit of fun I put together this little thing. Always a great pleasure to work with Frank : ) check out his stuff @brass-lines

Another Round Of Happiness - with Frank Wilke

Walls
From a distance, I see a wall
I’m not sure if it’s there at all
I walk endless miles
From day to nightfall
But, I don’t seem to get closer
No closer at all

After many years, I reach that wall
It’s very wide and very tall
I think I have to climb it
Or it could be my downfall
Walls surround us all
Some are real, some not at all
Some are strong, most will fall

While climbing up a wall
I lose my grip and fall
I’ve been falling now 
For many years
If I can’t run, I’ll crawl
If I can’t crawl, I’ll fall
I’ve been crawling now
For many years








After many years
I know I built that wall
I built it wide
I built it tall
Walls protect us all
I have some regrets
But they’re mostly small
Far outweighed
By the beauty
Of it all

We all need a reprieve
From all the webs we weave
I’ve been weaving now
For many years
Don’t know what to believe
I think it’s time to leave
I’ve been leaving now 
For many years

Walls protect us all
I have some regrets
But they’re mostly small
Far outweighed
By the beauty
Of it all

Walls

Another take on this special song
Hope you enjoy

OUR WORK
______________
Objects get lost
Thoughts vanish unfathomed
Feelings are so often disguised.

Chiselling off the surface…

In the grip of tools
our hope, like rock, is dust –
Almost soft.

Pound dried to packed dust
packed form to particle.

If this dust is not buried, lost in our fears
or tossed to the wind.
If the dust is rich with our will,
Our meal it shall be.

COMPLETELY

how do you dare to be at my side?

even though you are free
you still have to offer yourself
completely.

I REST MY HEELS
______________
shadow is falling beloved…
this shadow of mine
is falling, finally,
at your feet…

i have traveled far on mine;
and with my face to your bare toes, I rest my heels

ONCE WE WERE TREES

Walk Alone

Firstly on easy listening 6/4 bars, I cut some notes out of the main theme so as to give it dynamism, and finally obtained a prime amalgam of 17 quarter notes. I hid any recognizable thing in the accompaniment, and for the organic lines (voice and guitars) I tried the strong rhythm would not fix too much the melodies, first paying a lot of attention, and finally ... just letting me go.

Translated lyrics:

Oídos sordos (17 negras)  /  Deaf ears (17 quarter notes)

Quiero gritar todo lo que siento, estando solo;  /   I want to shout out everything I feel, being alone;
pero gritándolo al viento y si no contesta,  /  but shouting it at the wind and if it doesn’t answer,
dime, ¿de qué me sirve? (bis)  /  tell me, how does that help me? (bis)

Todos los vientos conocen mi historia  /  All the winds know my story
pero no hacen nada.  /  but they don’t do anything.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

He estado aquí y allí gritando como un loco,  /  I’ve been here and there screaming like a madman,
pero todo sigue igual.  /  but it’s all the same.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…

Ahora sé que no sirve de nada;  /  Now I know it’s no use;
el viento sois todos que callais al verme,  /  all of you are the wind, silent when you see me,
y dejáis que hable y hable,  /  and letting me speak and speak,
y dejáis que hable y hable y hable.  /  and letting me speak and speak and speak.

No creo que vuelva mañana  /  I don’t think I’ll be back tomorrow
a escuchar vuestro silencio.  /  to listen to your silence.
Quiero encontrar a alguien. (bis)  /  I want to find someone. (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…

Oídos sordos (17 negras)

Boundless, infinite divine love. It cannot be bottled, sold, exchanged, or in any way quantified. Love is non mathematical and sewn into our dna - whispered into our fabric by our pseudo-mechanical creators.

What Is Baffling the Mathematician?

It sure seems there's always malice in the palace. Either you’re in the palace causing malice or you’re trying to stop the malice. In both cases there's still malice in the palace. As subjects, we have to live with that malice, so get out and vote. And if voting doesn’t make a difference, get out there and storm the palace, but only for a cause I believe in, lol. 

I love roots reggae and am stuck in the period between '68 and '82. Don’t get me wrong, ska is great, and I lump rocksteady into my preferred period of reggae. And I am not saying I don’t appreciate later periods of reggae and dancehall. I did enjoy the 90s dancehall that often went along with golden era hip hop. But I will always like 70s roots reggae best. I must be old. 

Thanks SoundCloud friends for making roots reggae with me and helping me LARP my musical fantasies. You're all the best! May everyone live out their rock star dreams.

Trodding in this world of inequity 
People dying in the city
Kings in palaces show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
And don’t you try to quell us
Or we’ll be storming up the citadel, yes! 
You’ve got to be pure of heart and pure mind
Cause blessed are the pure in heart
So you’ve got to live clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
And in the end, the last shall be first, and the first last 
For many shall be called, but few shall be chosen
Trodding in this world of inequity 
People are dying in the city
And kings in palaces dem show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it
For him it is sin
And that is the way of the righteous
For the path may be rocky
But the conscious can remain clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace 
And we’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace, 
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you have to say
And don’t you lie to us
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel, yes!
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel 
There’s too much inequity 
So don’t you try quell
Do good things for in due season we will reap
So do not grow weary in doing good, y’all
And the fruit of the spirit is love, goodness, and peace 
And against such things there is no law
Living in the righteous way is no flaw
There’s Malice in da palace
And We’re storming the citadel
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
Trodding in this world of inequity 
people dying in the city
Kings in palaces dem show no pity
And we’re all going to be storming the citadel, yes!
So Queen Majesty
I wanna have a word with you and lick up da chalice
I wanna hear, I wanna hear, I wanna hear what you have to say
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
And don’t you try to quell us
There’s Malice in da palace
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life

Plight of the BubbleGum
________________________________
someone put LSD in my bubblegum
I wanna get it on but my head is twisted
where the world ends is when I existed
what is truth when it lies fixated 

in my bubblegum, I wanna get it on
but my mind is empty
my thoughts they fall in tandem  
I see strangers and panic at random

hey there not so fast priest
you wanna tell me what It is I’m missing?
I pray to mother mary but it’s
all illusion until I start drinking

well-water will rise in earth
the scorched land and comet hearth
and whoever put holy water next to me,
it’s no bother, it chills levity 

and if I’m a hypocrite, I’ll stick my bubblegum in it
if I stick it on your artwork well, I’ll chew it straight to hell
and when I get there lines are formed, some are sleeping queens
adorned in radiant whistles aimed at the sky,
light them up! let them fly!

light them up, let them fly!
I wanna get it on where tongues are twisted
the stuff that makes gum chewy? it is… it is…
whatever it is, I missed it

one more moment fast
where rockets fly in the night cosmic blast
where all soldiers pinned beneath the sky, 
don’t cry, I got bubblegum

it’s a mystery to me, worth lies beneath cosmic beauty
it scars me wide it’s coming straight to Ayhem (Son of a Lion) surprise
One more time I stick my bubblegum in your eyes
I’ll have you blind than lie to me one more time

LOVE WANTS ITS OWN WAY
——————————————

Love wants its own way
she’s got the attitude of a dame

everywhere but neither no where
oh she’s got a heart of a zen fool

Love wants its own way
she’s got the attitude of a dame
going everywhere but nowhere

Love Wants Its Own Way | The Consolers

For the 31st Solar Kama Sutra song I decided to challenge myself a bit and do something in 7/4 time.  I tried remembering a band I heard do that and thought, "Isn't Pink Floyd's "Money" in 7/4 time?"  I remembered hearing it and thinking it was...

...  Turns out it is!  So for that reason I thought of Pink Floyd, and tried to do a Pink Floydish sound.    It's also a nod to Radiohead's "Pyramid Song".  I tried to capture the same feeling that song gives me, but with Solar Kama Sutra this time. 
(by the way, Solar Kama Sutra has always been just one person.  It's just the name for what I call the music)

Since Radiohead already used "Pyramid" which is well-known since ancient Egypt to be the coolest shape, I had to go with something else.  "Sphere Song" and "Cube Song" ?...  Well...  Those song titles just aren't gonna work....   Maybe "Dodecahedron Song"?....  Hmm... That actually sounds pretty catchy...  Feel free to use it!  

 My vocals are used more heavily on this track than it seems.  Throughout the track I tried to make my vocals sound like guitars and other instruments

  And definitely hats off to Pink Floyd for making a hit song in a 7/4 time signature.   How many times has that been done before?!

And of course, hats off to Stonehenge.  The ultimate inspiration for this track

lastly, much respect & love for all of you who have dropped by once again

Stonehenge Song

Beaten down by the coffin in the way
Butterfly drifting through the day
Never know how ever long its been
Colored in the lines and then begin
A tour that’s been called off for a while
Measuring the curtains without style
The forest leads you on and then turns grey
Better light the fire if you stay
And hours start to slip into the days
And you grew callous in your own malaise
Like no else mattered  so  depraved
Suck it up until you go away

So, you had to call it off
So, you had to call it off

Cancelled

Down down to Goblin Town 

Every time he looked at you /straight between the eyes 
He got the feeling He could fly /tempted by the height

Maybe if he had a chance, He’d look the other way
But his ponies got stolen and galloped away

Down down to Goblin Town 

Waiting the order /to end his life 
The Dwarves were cowered and fearing for their life

 But out of the darkness the Goblin King stammered
As he recognized Gandalf held Glamdring the foe hammer

Down down to Goblin Town 

On his way out as they tried to escape
He fell down deep into a cavernous maze
Down in the mire /he riddled and conspired
for Gollum’s ring he knew /         he had to be liar

One ring to rule them all, 
one ring to find them, 
One ring to bring them all. and in the darkness bind them.

Down down to Goblin Town

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."
