Fun Key Flavour

Phil Chris sent me this song, which was little more than a beat and some chords. I then added some bass, guitar, piano, organ, and synth. Then, I sent it to Tez to work his magic on the board. he came up with two very distinct mixes. The first one, which I already posted, has two beats in it, so it sounds like a heartbeat, and it is very guitar heavy. This mix really focuses on the organ. It almost sounds like a different song, imo. I hope you all enjoy the remix.

The Shining - Llanpsych redrum mix (with Computart [Phil Chris])

Hey Folks…. Hope all is well wherever you are. In that relative sense of the world being as it is right now. A cold Spring here so far. A little snow, freezing temps, but that will change soon with the new heat dome dropping down upon us from the north. So instead of composing songs, I have been outside quite a bit these past few weeks… I tilled and began planting the vegetable garden. Snow and sugar snap peas are germinating. I planted 3 varieties of lettuce plants from seed I grew and saved from the past few years. If you don’t know… Lettuce ‘goes to seed’ when the plant ‘bolts’ by sending up a 3 foot flower stalk, which looks pretty cool. I usually let some lettuce bolt each year. A while back, I used to market about 300 heads of lettuce a year, but now just grow 50 or so heads for salad. That’s a lot of salad…. I also planted leeks from seed plants I grew last year, after letting the leeks overwinter. I was dreaming about potato-leek soup, when I first planted leeks, and well, the dream was better than the soup. The garlic patch is up, from last autumn’s planting. I call the patch ‘The Garlic Monster’, as it has grown in size over the years, the unruly beast that it is. There were some overwintered Swiss chard plants that I dug up and transplanted to a side spot in the garden, hoping to get some seeds this year from those plants. Beets, carrots and rutabagas have not germinated yet. (It’s been cold.) I dug up 3 large rhubarb plants I grew from seed that I collected, and moved them to a new bed as the spot they were in was a spur of the moment decision that wasn’t working. I do harvest and prepare rhubarb each year, but it is definitely an acquired taste, so I tend to compost some of what I pick. (Most of it…haha.) I transplanted 2 aspens and a pie cherry sapling that grew up too close to the house. The main aspen and cherry trees are easily 10 yards away from where the saplings were. I am always amazed at how tree roots grow in search of water, this time for dripping water off the house. That phenomenon is called Hydrotropism. I moved the saplings to an open area of the yard where I hope they will sprout many more trees to create a mini grove. OK… that’s enough gardening stories for now…. Don’t you think? I need some for the next song… hahaha. So with the colder mornings, I have been recording songs every other day or so. I had 3 songs recorded and well and they were all sketchy/wonky in parts. One, a true story, was about this dude threatening me with a handgun. (That song was way too political)… another was a sobby, tear-jerker of a lament, OMG… sure I felt that way, but seriously dude? The third was a loud and dissonant slide song, which happens when I need to burn off some negative energy. I was bummed after listening to all of them, so I did this song, as a last ditch effort to salvage my musical dignity. Ha! So let me know what you think… Thanks. I am heading off SoundCloud for the Summer months. See you when the leaves begin to turn, or maybe when the snow flies. Gonna miss ya’ all… Thank you for the love and support, the insights and ideas, the camaraderie and fellowship. Have a great couple of months wherever you are. Mark

This is a song that began as a bass line I came up with on my four string fretless over a looper. I shared it with Ken (K2 and the Three [and Four], Stephen (Tex Mex Shaman), and Tez (Llanpsych) through BandLan, which we're all on. Ken came up with some perfect drums, as always, to prop up the whole thing. Tez added some killer guitar solos, which you can hear more towards the end, with the ripping tone. Stephen then came in and added the talk box guitar and wah guitar that you hear playing the hook more towards the beginning. It's my first song ever featuring a talk box, and I'm amazed with the part he came up with. It's a major line against my minor bass line. I love how it sounds! Stephen also was kind enough to mix the beast for us, which turned out to be a herculean task. But he was up to it, and a fine job he did, too. It was an honor and a pleasure to work with these guys. We all hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.

High Noon (Eclectic Collective)

Sooo.... this started to be another wacky guitar thing that Jeff and I were putting together.   Found an old idea he had sent and started developing it a bit  He went ahead and did a vocal for it which i  was thrilled about.  He then asked me where part 2 was haha.  
So I sat on it a few days while being enslaved in Josh Clary’s music lab.  Talked with Rekha once I was out and let her hear it.  She gladly volunteered to make a 2nd vocal harmony part and I said heck yeah go for it.  
So that was awesome. 
Then it came to mixing these two uniquely iconic voices together-  that was no small feat.  And I'm not even saying I got it right, but here they are. 
This is me doing something - a little guitar I think, production and mix and your two vocalists are the lovely Rekha - Iyern [Fe] and the inimitable Stonerjazz (also on keys &guitar) with a song about what else - we're all done for y'all


Time ls up time ls up
don't you know
time to go
time ls up, time to go
The jig ls up
That's the show

Time ls up
time to go
the jig ls up, don't you know
travel light take that flight
Don't look back, don't call or write
l ain't mad, l know you couldn't help lt

We all treated her so bad
and now she's mad
l wish that l could make amends
but she's all done
She's gonna squash us like a bug'

repeat

Time is Up/Armageddon

Time is Up/Armageddon - w/Stonerjazz and Rekha - Iyern [Fe]

We all know its coming, we don't like to think about it. But its one of the only thing that we are guaranteed of in this life. I ask myself this question over and over . What happens when we die. Is there a life after death? Where do we go when we die? a few of my friends have already made the journey and this is for them. If anyone knows the answer please, please let me know . You can send me a private message. 

I recorded this live with 2 microphones one for my Beautiful 1975 Classical Guitar and one for my 1958 Voice. So there will be a few noises in the background.

Lyrics: 

Out of bounds
and the specter came to me
Came to me
came to me
with a blackened rose
I didn't know what to do about it
I brought it with me to every show

It never ended
Just bloomed to Vanta
Took the life right outta me
I can't let go

Sailing through my timeline on a festering sea
My radar is wrecked, Is this even still me?

I'm just a clown and I'm holding a black rose
Petals grip tightly on this stem that I chose
But the seasons that surround me are just wilting away
If this rose keeps here
My being won't stay

Got a call from the specter today
Said he's delivering a fresh bouquet 
A little bit nosy and you can meet your decay
The stench of the devil and his charming sway

So go on now
Take a saw to my hand
And crush the damn thing when it hits the ground!
This rose is black
And soaked in red
Is this what it takes to get somewhere else instead?

I'm just a clown and I'm holding a black rose
Petals grip tightly on this stem that I chose
But the seasons that surround me are just wilting away
If this rose keeps here
My being won't stay
