Love the tracks energy and that snare roll I might be a fan of disco after all!

Such god stuff thanks for making this music.😊

I was excited by the guitar and drum rhythm of this song!

Nice, all the instruments and vocals meld together so well on this track.  Great work.

I wrote this song after an in-depth conversation with my mother who spent years searching for her mother.  It's in 7/8; perhaps reflecting the irregularity of relationships.

(Because you asked Jeff.  When my Ma met her mother she commented on the colour of her eyes and said, "They're brilliant blue..." and it's the way she said it and looked that stuck in my mind)

Brilliant Blue
Her eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
I take after my father, they say he was a farmer
My mother's at the window as I say goodbye
I've only just met her, she is 84 0r 85

Refrain: Brilliant blue eyes, greet my brown
I've waited all my life, for this

2lb 4oz wrapped in cotton wool, placed in a cardboard shoebox
given to nuns in Bloom Street
Manchester in 1940, I was one of many a child and mother
sent from Catholic Ireland

Refrain      Lahlahlahs

Sixty-two years since we met, mother
I just wanted to see you one time, if you want me too
Your eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
as I leave the white-haired woman
It was dead of winter I was found

Lahlahlahs   Refrain

Brillinat Blue Master

Evil Came to Town

This is a conceptual piece of music created to be a short science fiction film. 

The track is a journey through different dimensions of space and time and is broken into three movements. 

The first movement introduces the main characters and establishes the stories atmosphere and motivation. 
The second movement is a sound design piece I created to represent traveling though space and time. 
The third movement is our arrival and represents the emotional part of the story.

It is with unbridled glee that I finally get to share a (long overdue) first collab with our dear friend, and ambient artist extraordinaire, Jo (https://soundcloud.com/minimal_drone_grl, https://minimaldronegrl.bandcamp.com/). The results are quite exciting, to say the least. We hope you enjoy our sonic adventure, 'Flora's Beautiful Dream'. :)

And now for our little story...

The first signs of morning sunlight appear above the mountain’s rock covered peaks, as the Earth spins us around to witness the brilliance of another new day. Bright rays shine visibly through the morning mist, and dewdrops sparkle like diamonds among the tree leaves as the valley below slowly fills with warmth and light. 

Flora watches from her vantage point high above; witnessing her friends in the forest come alive to greet another day; and the people in the city streets down in the valley below come alive to serve another day. She’s watched this dance for many years; the forest remaining peaceful in its ancient perfection; the people below growing ever more unsatisfied as they strive for an illusionary and strangely unattainable perfection of their own.
	
This idea might sound sad to you and I. But over the years she has also seen miracles occur among us. From her vantage point she sees us like fields of energy; and the majority of that energy looks rather stagnant and mucky, like cesspools of unmoving water, unaware of the renewing stream we have been cut off from. But once in a while, an explosion of light energy will burst outward from a single house or apartment building, as someone becomes disenfranchised from their false identity, and their hearts open up to new ideas for the first time.

Surprisingly, these changes often occur after great loss. And she suspects this is due to the fragility of our illusion. She sees how lost we all are in these roles and characters we have built for ourselves, and she sees how quickly that false identity can shatter when we lose the things we prioritized the most. The loss of a relationship or loved one, a terminal illness in the body, the end of a career, a complete collapse in financial stability… when we lose the things we thought mattered most to us, some of us experience a miraculous opportunity for awakening to the truth that we were never those things to begin with. 

Flora lovingly watches the majority of us grow more sickly and stagnant with time. And she never loses hope… because every evening, she has the same beautiful dream. 

In her mind, the first signs of morning sunlight appear above the mountain’s rock covered peaks, as the Earth spins us around to witness the brilliance of another new day. Bright rays shine visibly through the morning mist, and dewdrops sparkle like diamonds among the tree leaves as the valley slowly fills with warmth and light. 

But even brighter still are the explosions of light energy bathing the valley down below. After so many truly dark nights, many of us finally wake up the next morning to discover we were never all the things we lost in the night. In fact, we are something much larger. And as our energy explodes out, and the laws of attraction take hold, these simultaneous bursts prove to be strong and frequent enough to cause a chain reaction… and the whole valley lights up brighter than the sun itself. 

We have finally realized we are simply conscious life, and nothing more. And in our new found freedom from identity, we all begin again.

Flora slumbers peacefully, knowing full well… this dream will some day come true.

Lyrics:

Do You feel empowered, or do you feel like you're enslaved?
Do your dreams grow and flower, or do they burn in raging flames in your mind?
Do you feel empowered?

You say your letting go
And you don’t want to know
But what you need to know
Is that you belong

Don’t say your letting go
Just say you want to know
But you say 'it’s all gone wrong'

Spending your time
In the sorrow
Where you’ll never know how far you can go
You're never gonna know
If you say you’re letting go
But I know you know
I’m here for you now

Does your heart beat in wonder, or does it feel like it's been drained?
Are you living your life like thunder, or do you hide and feel ashamed in your mind?

Do you feel empowered? 
Please don't feel like your enslaved
Let your dreams grow and flower
Don't let them burn in raging flames in your mind

Feel empowered

Empowered

GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

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.

The purpose of this text is to inform you of the work that is manifesting in our folded corner of causality – a great work which holds even greater mysteries, channeled through our fleshy antennae into forms at once familiar and esoteric, bizarre and beautiful, abstract and concrete.

Mystic Tape Deck was revealed in a lucid dream state, manifesting as the convergence of several combined lifetimes of correlative causality, to serve as the ultimate vehicle to inject this series of objects into the collective mind of the cosmos. The experience of taking the plunge into our universe is akin to assembling a puzzle with no final picture on the box. It not only rewards curiosity but requires it. As the images, poems, stories and anecdotes begin to swim around in your subconscious mind, eventually a complete image will emerge.

To date, we have produced two complete multimedia books - collections of obtuse fragmented mythology, carefully crafted imagery, and glimpses of another world existing just beyond our immediate observability. A narrative of the entire history of humankind, viewed through the lens of an ancient and mysterious underground cult of creativity. A peripheral approach to storytelling that is inside out, upside down, extra dimensional and delivered to you one confounding puzzle piece at a time. Each installment in the series is accompanied by a compact disc containing musical musings which follow the theme of the text, creating a synergistic symphony of heart and mind. Each book is printed on beautiful 80 pound stock with glossy covers, perfect binding, and comes packaged to withstand the rigors of time and cosmic radiation inside a durable mylar bag with acid free backer board.

The first two books serve as an introduction to the project and some of the major players in the story. There is the enigmatic, tragic demi-deity known as “The Shining One,” obscure historic explorers searching for the secrets of eternal youth and what they discover instead, and the underground cult of renegade creators and urban “art mystics” known as “The Cloak.”

The third and fourth installations in the series will serve as a collection of poetic and musical musings on the twenty-four primary paragons from a forthcoming custom oracle deck that promises to be unlike any tarot you have ever seen or imagined.

In addition, we are planning a series of cassette-only releases known as “The Ashland Chronicles” which take place in real locations throughout the greater Pacific Northwest in the 1980’s and 90’s. It begs the question “what else is going on in the immediate world around us - what incredible stories and struggles are taking place in the lives of strangers we never meet but perhaps brush shoulders with at some point in our lives?”

Mystic Tape Deck also has a website which serves as a repository for story fragments, interviews with characters from the story, and serve as ministry and portal to make our unique products available to the wider world.

The first two books are available now for $25 from our Bandcamp page, the third book is coming soon, and many other magical things are brewing into being as we speak. Mystic Tape Deck is 100% fan-powered, we have no corporate backing, no record label, no outside producers or agents, and no hidden benefactor (note: if you are a wealthy art lover interested in helping to fund our odd odyssey, please get in touch immediately we have been waiting for you!) Our entire process Is self-directed, self-recorded, and self-produced in a “learn as we go” manner. That means generally that the production quality improves with each subsequent release as we learn more and more about how to do this as we go. We think that leads a uniquely vulnerable and transparent aspect to the project which is in itself interesting as well.

Our ultimate aim is simply to produce the work, one block upon another, until it is complete, and to break even long enough to sustain production until then. To date, the universe has been kind to us and has enabled us to get this far. But we need your continuing support and interest to get us through the complicated times ahead.

We Are The Cloak!
