Un autre "vieux" morceau que j'ai réenregistré et que je remet en ligne... En espérant que ça swingue !

Another "old" song that I re-recorded and put back online ... Hoping that it swings!

Puzzle Stomp

Manifesto of artists-entities, 1964, the village of Zapolle.

At the beginning of the Loop

spacejump

o-pen your mind
o-pen your mind
o-pen your mind
op- mind-op mind-op

allow yourself to be 
extrasensory—
you can jump the line
you can ship your mind out to the end of time

when stuck in a reality
wiggle out supernaturally
seek and you shall find
a way to leave your body and your woes behind...

much good is hidden in a world right next to ours
so don’t you worry 'bout a thing
lest you be smitten by the heavenly powers
forget the sun, bask in the light they bring...

for as long as you have faith they’ll carry you
from one decision to another
behold the true meaning of free will
just let ‘em steer and free your will from all the bother...

and all the stories, if scary enough
don’t even have to be divine
and when the glory starts wearing off
just reinterpret all the signs

miracles await the pilgrim who is fond
of the awesome truths lying just beyond

why wouldn’t you wanna be 
extrasensory?
once you cross the line
you can lead the blind, run the pantomime

get unstuck from reality, 
walk and talk supernaturally
seek and you shall find
the oldest way to shine and monetize your mind

it’s gonna be okay
if you go extrasensory
and it’s gonna be just fine
when you productize your inner eye

and all the stories, if magical enough
don’t have to make a lick of sense
cause all the glory is only trickling up
to the visionaries keeping the pretense

the whole trifecta—
poor, powerless, and quick to pray
cost-you-extra-
-sensory

extrasensory
extrasensory

Extrasensory

Original Song by J.J. Terrell

Original lyrics:

A lake, an ocean, to be crossed
The light shining through the surface, sometimes lost
Around the bottom of the sea we almost cried
I was never colder than that artic night

Going straight ahead is all that I can do
Up and down, all around; life's whirlpool
Lay my tail upon a rock
And dream

The schools of fish seemed lost in all the noise
A passing whale who lost his voice
A nice warm pool of a fleeting duel
A cloudy red trial, a happy ruse

The light shining through the surface is sometimes bright
The deeper you are, the harder it is, to tell day or night
Travel far and wide

The Lost Merman 🧜‍♂️

■概要(Overview)
誰かがばら撒いた「まきびし」を踏んで、
自転車のタイヤがパンクしたわ。
楽しくサイクリングしていたのに。
もう、恨めしい！
・・あら、素敵なおぱんださんね・・
# -------------
そんな感じの曲です。
先日、私は自転車で画鋲を踏んでしまい、
タイヤがパンクしてしましました。
あまりに悲しすぎて曲にしたいと思いましたが、
作っているうちに別のストーリーになりました(^ ^;)

Stepping on a makibishi (a sharp tool used by ninjas) that someone scattered,
My bicycle tire got punctured.
It should have been fun cycling.
I hate it now!
Oh, what a lovely panda...
# ---------
It's that kind of song.
The other day, I stepped on a thumbtack on my bicycle,
My tire got punctured.
It was so sad that I wanted to make it into a song, but
While making it, it became a different story (^ ^;)

■歌詞
「Pushuuu...」
誰がばら撒いた　まきびしを
タイヤに刺さって　パンクした
どうしてくれようこの気持ち
私・・ちょっと信じられないわ

太陽が　自転車　押す　この横顔を
容赦なく　照らし　笑うの


あぁ　うらめしや　うらめしや
どこぞの　どなたの　仕業でしょう

あぁ　許すまじ　許すまじ
さぞかし　楽しい　気分でしょう


どんぐり　ころころ　追いかけて
私と目が合い　「こんにちは」

「どうかされました　お嬢さん？」
私　ちょっと　一目ぼれした

太陽が　自転車　押す　あなたの心
燃やしたのね　私のため

(まぁ　素敵！)

あぁ　うらめしや　うらめしや(U´∀｀)
二人で　唱える　うらめしや(U´∀｀)U (U´∀｀)U
あぁ　許すまじ　許すまじ٩(*´꒳`*)۶
あなたと　作るの　藁人形٩(*´꒳`*)۶


あなたの　ポッケの　白い紙
風に飛ばされて　キャッチした
「まきびし100個で500円」
私・・ちょっと信じられないわ

太陽が　自転車　押す　あなたの事を
容赦なく　照らし　責めるの

おぱんださん：いや、これはその・・あなたの事が、好きだから！
私：みーつけた

あぁ　うらめしや　うらめしや
さぞかし　楽しい　気分でしょう
あぁ　許すまじ　許すまじ
あなたで　作るわ　藁人形


もし　明日　元気なら
また　会いに来て


■ lyrics
"Pushuuu..."
Who scattered the makibishi
punctured the tire
What should I do with this feeling
I-I can't believe it

The sun pushes the bicycle, this profile
mercilessly illuminating and laughing


Ah, I hate it, I hate it
I wonder who's doing it

Ah, unforgivable, unforgivable
I'm sure you're in a fun mood

A panda chasing a rolling acorn
I met your eyes and you said "Hello"

"What's wrong, young lady?"
I fell in love at first sight

The sun burned your heart pushing your bike, it's for me

(Well, nice!)

Ah, 
I hate it(U´∀｀)U
I hate it (U´∀｀)U
Two people chant "Uramesiya"  (U´∀｀)U (U´∀｀)U
Ah, 
unforgivable ٩(*´꒳`*)۶
unforgivable ٩(*´꒳`*)۶
I'll make a straw doll with you

white paper in your pocket
I caught it blown away by the wind
"500 yen for 100 makibishi"
I-I can't believe it

Push your bicycle The sun mercilessly blames you

Panda: No, this is because I love you!
Me: I found the culprit!

Ah, I hate it, I hate it
you must have been having a good time
Ah, unforgivable, unforgivable
I'll make you a straw doll


If you are fine tomorrow, come see me again.

Pushuuu...

Anthropomorphic Expressions – The Rocks Sing

Duration: 3:00

Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the rocks sound library used to compose this piece.

Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, or emotions to non-human entities or objects. It is considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology. Anthropomorphism is a common way humans perceive and interact with the world around them.

The Earth is made of rock, from the tallest mountains to the floor of the deepest ocean. Thousands of different types of rocks and minerals have been found on Earth. Most rocks at the Earth's surface are formed from only eight elements (oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium), but these elements are combined in a number of ways to make rocks that are very different.  Rocks are continually changing. Wind and water wear them down and carry bits of rock away; the tiny particles accumulate in a lake or ocean and harden into rock again. The oldest rock that has ever been found is more than 3.9 billion years old.

Humanity has made use of rocks since the earliest humans. This early period, called the Stone Age, saw the development of many stone tools. Stone was then used as a major component in the construction of buildings and early infrastructure. 

Rocks are commonly divided into three major classes according to the processes that resulted in their formation. These classes are (1) igneous rocks, which have solidified from molten material called magma; (2) sedimentary rocks, those consisting of fragments derived from preexisting rocks or of materials precipitated from solutions; and (3) metamorphic rocks, which have been derived from either igneous or sedimentary rocks under conditions that caused changes in mineralogical composition, texture, and internal structure.

Devil Inside Your Veins E raze

Devil Inside Your Veins E raze, Orieliel Watcher, numbers in the dream

I am a rock
The sun 
Beats down
On me 
I can’t feel
I can’t see
I am a rock
The rain 
pours down
Soaks me
I can’t feel
I can’t see
Don’t feel happy
I don’t feel sad
I don’t feel good
I don’t feel bad
I am a rock
Don’t sleep
Don’t cry
Don’t weep
Don’t die
Nothing affects me
Don’t feel happy
I don’t feel sad
I don’t feel good
I don’t feel bad
Sometimes I pity myself
All the while a great wind
Carries me across the sky
I am a rock

I Am A Rock

A power ballad..

LYRICS:

The step is not hard to take
But over and over again
we bend and we break
The same simple mistake
at the start with my terrible heart in your hand
and you tighten the grip
on the part with the delicate need for command
It's all built in the sand

We stay awake for days
while kneeling and feeling our way
through vacuums of space
It's a desolate place
Fuel the fire with the furious ire of your soul
Feed the flames in the night
Build the pyre, an eternal reprieve from the cold
And so we'll never grow old

You've been ignoring the ballad of fire on the radio
but if you listen it's calling
You've been ignoring the ballad of fire on the radio
but if you listen it's calling to you

You see yourself as a hero for hire but we all know
there's no commissioner calling
Your alter ego's just you in a bar with no windows
and you're rapidly falling
If you cared you could still give yourself a crescendo
but you'd have to go all in
You've been ignoring the ballad of fire on the radio
but if you listen it's calling to you

You've been ignoring the ballad of fire on the radio
but if you listen it's calling
You've been ignoring the ballad of fire on the radio
but if you listen it's calling to you

Ballad of Fire

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

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.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"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."
