Work in progress until last day of month! Enjoy!

MTD Mixtape October 2023

It's need-to-tell-this-to-my-therapist music Thursday! Please welcome our new imaginary combo "The Lamineers":

Sergio Párraga: Congas, Campana y Güiro
Jeff Roberts: Electrified Bass
me: what's left

Thank you a million Jeff and Sergio for having joined me with this ride. The road to get there was rather stony and winding --- some conversation excerpts: "I chose to enter the labyrinth of twisted meter and rubato alleys" --- "shall we call this one quits?" --- "man that is one idiosyncratic piece" --- "I take it as an adventure" --- "get that suckah out there!!!!!!!!!!"

There's no voices in my head, but they must be right
Danger's everywhere
Everything is fine, but you need to keep in mind, you really need to keep in mind
Little white round enemies

Alligator's coming

Come on, let's hide in the swamp
Nobody can see us, we're hidden, just shh
Kwui

Alligator's chasing its own tail
How did we get here?
Nobody can remember, but it was a perfect plan
OK there's a way out, but we need to find a bar

Left? Right? Straight?
Wrong direction, wait!
Light, streft, reight!

Come my brave soldier, shelter is near
We're out of provisions, but we still have a beer

Alligator's coming
Alligator's
Alligator's coming

Little white round enemies, mean mean calamities
Little white round enemies, leave me my identities
Alligator's coming

Soon we're there, just six bars more to visit
One

Alligator's coming

Stock crash middle class 
Counterfeit crime of a century
Cutthroat don’t choke
Better him than you on the brink

Cool breeze charismatic
Grave robbing scam of a century
Drill baby thrill baby
Burning up an Anthropocene

It’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony
It’s been a long time since I realized I couldn’t relate
I’ve been craning my neck trying to see if there’s a sign that was meant for me I said it’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony

Bring it back

Pill-poppin priest talkin trash 
Through the crash of a century
Blind luck dumb fuck 
Jamming up the waves on my scene

Flip top shock jock 
Certified creep of a century
I see you don’t know how to read
But you write like you know what it means

It’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony
It’s been a long time since I realized I couldn’t relate
I’ve been craning my neck trying to see if there’s a sign that was meant for me. I said it’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony

Bring it back

Don't Mind Me

A spiralling journey where metaphysical rodents fight against the erosion of ethics in modern media and the Junkyard of Silenced Poets accidentally invent Acid Strauss music…

"Trademark spy movie guitars and jerking, fluid polyrhythms abound while the piano plays semi-atonal choppy chords and the percussion track involves a variety of unusual noises. There is some classic sixties-influenced jazz-tinged cinematica happening here. Indie Noir perhaps or Alt Noir. It is a fine piece of instrumental exploration either way." -- Neil March (Trust The Doc, Edition 81, June 2023)

A pulsing layered rock dirge about being stuck in the eating utensils of giants or unnoticed between the typeset of discarded newspapers. Bat! Bi! Hiru! Lau! We've all been there!

MACHINE LOVE

I drew a bar graph

And on the x axis I plotted

Date of birth to date of death

And on the y axis I plotted

Alcohol, nicotine, cocaine and meth

And I was able to extrapolate

A link between the y axis and the second date

I drew a pie chart

To help identify the pressures on my heart

The yellow slice was for people who are not nice

The blue slice was for fast food and egg fried rice

The red slice was for greed for the latest device

The green slice was for my tendency toward verbosity and my inability to be concise

It’s measured out in volts

This is the nuts and this is the bolts

Machine love’s what I’m thinking of

Why do people play at a recital and recite at a play?

Why’s a boxing ring square?

Why does snow fall but rain drops?

Is it double trouble if it comes in threes?

No one ever these days says please

Why’s a pizza circled if the box is square?

Each slice a triangle when you see it there

Why's a W called a double U when it's two V's together?

Why’d you look for a mirror just after crying?

It’s measured out in volts

This is the nuts and this is the bolts

Machine love’s what I’m thinking of

You Can't Deceive Me b/w The Pleasure's All Mine

The Pleasure's All Mine

■概要
冒険に出かけたしろちゃんは、最初に海に行きました。
しろちゃんは、船舶免許を取得したばかりの男のボートにこっそりと忍び込みます。
しかし、沖に行くと突然海が荒れ始め、ボートが転覆してしまいます。
それで、しろちゃんは海に投げ出されてしまいます。
(船舶免許を取得したばかりの男は何とか救助隊に助けられました)

しろちゃんはボートの中にあった潜水服を着ましたが、海の底へと沈んで行ってしまいました。

そこには恐ろしい海の魔物、ダイオウイカがいて、しろちゃんに襲い掛かります！
ダイオウイカは強烈なビームを一分間に180回出すことができます！
しろちゃんとダイオウイカの、高速な戦いが始まる・・しろちゃんの夏はまだ終わらない！

・・・
そんな感じの曲です。インスト曲です。ボーカル無しです。

■Overview
Shiro-chang  first went to the sea as the starting point for her adventure.
Shiro-chang  sneaks onto the boat of a man who has just gotten his boat license.
However, when they go offshore, the sea suddenly becomes rough and the boat capsizes.
As a result, Shiro-chang  is thrown into the sea.
(The man, who had just obtained his boat license, managed to be saved by a rescue team.)

Shiro-chang  put on a diving suit that was in the boat, but it sank to the bottom of the sea.

There is a terrifying sea monster, a giant squid, and it attacks Shiro-chang !
Giant squid can emit intense beams 180 times per minute!
A high-speed battle between Shiro-chang  and the giant squid begins... Shiro-chang 's summer isn't over yet!

・・・
It's a song like that. It's an instrumental song. No vocals.

Giant Squid

If the Romans had invented jazz music, they would have been swinging on 5/8.

Pabulum, Baby!

When I was young, 
Could not read the signs.
Could not see behind eyes.
Need to hear things.
What was left for me?

Out on the road.
People let go.
It's not that they know,
Anything you don't.
Wisdom in jest, you see.

Oh! "When I was a child."
"Where I came from."
Yeah? You're responsible, too.

Just a word before I go.
All you people are dead to me.

Mind: Follow me.
We'll stare at these stars.
That's a planet, it's Mars.
Not that you care.
Can't avoid destiny.

Home is a place.
Where you collect things.
To place inside tins.
Until you lose them.
For all eternity.

Oh, "when I was a child."
I put that away.
Girl, you should do too.

There's just you and your own.
All you people are dead to me.

Oh, "when I was a child."
Forget that one. Boy.
Not important to you.

Just a word in your ear.
All you people are dead to me.

A look from out.
The side of an eye.
A moment to spy.
Whats behind them.
However, fleeting.

A silent dig.
Inside of the mind.
Beside enemy's lines.
Nothing to bind them.
Yes, I'll be leaving.

Oh, "when I was a child."
I thought as such.
I was naught but a fool.

I discovered, too late.
Mostly.
People, they are dead to me.

Oh, "When I was a child."
"Where I came from."
Yeah? You're responsible, too.

Just a word before I go.
All you people are dead to me.













All You People Are Dead To Me

This song was inspired by a conversation with https://soundcloud.com/roger-b-train 
He had taken an amazing picture of a giant flock of crows in the sky. We were sharing thoughts of the symbolism of the crows at the end of summer. Parts of the lyrics are taken from the original chat. 
Thank you for listening :)

Lyrics:
"The crows will be coming again soon
Crops getting closer to be taken down 
Crazy sight to see day after day until solstice" (Rogers words)
"I hear, i can hear them coming
In my garden the harvest is done
Morning dew don´t vanish anymore
Mother nature ist tired
Light gets more pale and soon the dark days are there" (my words)
I´m still excited about the circle of the year from solstice to solstice
Crows will be coming soon
Foggy days, deep sun, long shadows
Old summer is like the last hug of a beloved grandma, 
We don´t want to let go. But we know she´ll be gone soon.

Fragmented truth 

Reality passes on the outside, 
a fragment of the truth 
Rushing in my veins, 
is the pain, 
of destruction
- more than I can handle now you see me fallin’ apart
Fallin’ apart, fallin’ apart - I am fallin’ apart

And I am running from, 
ev’ry thin’ that I have owned, j
ust to be alone right here
Consumed by all my fear
And I ain’t tryin’ to find, 
what you call a Peace of mind
No escaping from the past 
these memories will last
And you see me fall

Reality works from the inside, 
all that I’ve been through
Search and find, 
a fragile mind, 
flaws of the construction
- more than I can handle now you see me falling’ apart
Fallin’ apart, fallin’ apart - I am falling’ apart

And I am running from, 
ev’ry thin’ that I have owned, j
ust to be alone right here
Consumed by all my fear
And I ain’t tryin’ to find, 
what you call a peace of mind
No escaping from the past 
these memories will last
And you see me fall

N’ sometimes
When I go out by The water
I fear
I won’t be able to swim

N’ sometimes 
When I go out by The water
I fear
My body’s willin’ to give in
I might be livin’ in sin

And I am running from, ev’ry thing that I have owned, just to be alone right here
Consumed by all my fear
And I ain’t tryin’ to find, what you call a peace of mind
No escaping from the past these memories will last
And you see me fall

<<<< These didn't fit in - but was written >>>>>>>

Reality may have a upside, a course from the devine
Keep your faith, 
keep it straight, 
keep up to your devotion 
- more than I can handle now you see me 
Falling apart, falling apart - I am falling apart

Reality must have a downside, 
to contrast your mind
Joy and pain, 
is the same, 
all of your emotion
- more than I can handle now you see me 
Falling apart, falling apart - I am falling apart

Lyrics

Verse 1
The demons inside your head, they're on fire
It's making it hard to fake your smile
you're cool on love, it's breaking you down
it's a simple life, in this heartbreak town 

Chorus
You fake a smile at me - I don't mind
Come see the world with me - it's our time
We'll find a cure for you - it's drive time

Verse 2
You're stronger than steel, you gotta heart of gold
The cells in your blood won't leave you alone
It's a rare disease, one step at a time
It's making it hard to fake your smile

You fake a smile at me - I don't mind
Come see the world with me - it's our time
We'll find a cure for you - it's drive time

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.

A Multimedia Puzzle-Story Of An Immortal Being's Struggle To Define And Exert Their Will Upon A Wholly Deterministic And Ambivalent Multiverse, And The Strange Cult Who Loves Them.

--------

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."
