Underwater

A bed
of needles under the pines
You gave me
some of your new lines
Slow and low
You made them for me
A song where we could always be,
A place where we could live

You've seen
what it is that I have
Can you say what it is
that burns so hard
Burns so hard in me
A fire that you've always seen,
Tireless, trembling

I hold those words in my heart
like gold in my hand
In my hand
You left like desert heat at dusk,
The memory lives darkly in me...

I crave
and the more that I crave
the more you elude me -
like trying to net not a fish,
but a wave of the sea.
I can't chase you
I cannot undo
I can't chase you
I cannot undo...

When Music Cries
From Prompt Writing 12/30/21

Comes from somewhere
Hidden deep... slow arise
Strings pull  beating heart
Spirit helpless pulled apart
Somewhere deep surprise

Meaning pulses strains aloud
Singing soulful lines  - comprise
Bowing phrases arc their point
Expressive faces tears anoint
Aloud .... when Music cries

Desperate tears... tears of joy
Come naturally to this boy
Practiced pluck of violins
Melody embrace - begins

Black and White Harmonize
Keys and Signature of Time
Music reaches most sublime
Aloud again when Music cries

My trusted Desley,
where would I be without you
You carry mine,
I carry you
Together we go places, and pull it through

Here comes another transit
ready or not,
Another check-in
in another spot,
ID, OD
What is next?
It takes a clairvoyant,
to know what to expect...

Take me to customs
to file a report

On the road to nowhere
(that's wehre we want to be)

The label is lost,
the key is broken.
But we'll carry on,
by the same token.

My trusted Desley,
where would I be without you
You carry mine,
I carry you
Together we go places, and pull it through

My trusted Desley
(shoop - shoop- shoop dohwaaah)

My trusted Desley
(shoop - shoop- shoop dohwaaah)

AN ELECTRONIC VOICES ALBUM

"Metafonia" is the Italian word that identifies the phenomenon known in parapsychology as "electronic voices".

- Metafonia II, IV and V are the less edited tracks, in order to leave the spirit of improvisation unchanged. Ideally these three represent a second volume within the first volume.

Each piece was made starting from vocal samples recorded and processed in real time with a laptop (and with the addition of some synths). The only voice behind these pieces is mine (at least I think, and above all I hope, even if I can never be completely sure), recorded while I was improvising random phrases, as if I were my own medium.

I waited a long time before deciding to finish and release this series of songs, the gloomy atmosphere of this end of October 2020 made me realize that it was time to let them go.

This is the first collection of songs made with this technique of editing random vocal recordings. Others to come.

"Metafonia" è la parola italiana che identifica il fenomeno noto in parapsicologia come "voci elettroniche".

- Metafonia II, IV e V sono le tracce meno editate, in modo da lasciare invariato lo spirito dell'improvvisazione. Idealmente queste tre rappresentano un secondo volume dentro il primo volume.

Ogni brano stato è realizzato a partire da campioni vocali registrati ed elaborati in tempo reale con un laptop (e con l'aggiunta di un po' di synth). L'unica voce alla base di questi brani è la mia (almeno credo, e soprattutto spero, anche se non potrò mai esserne del tutto certo), registrata mentre improvvisavo frasi casuali, come fossi il medium di me stesso.

Ho aspettato diverso tempo prima di decidere di terminare e pubblicare questa serie di brani, l'atmosfera cupa di questo fine di ottobre 2020 mi ha fatto capire che era arrivato il momento di lasciarli andare.

Questa è la prima raccolta di brani realizzati con questa tecnica si editing di registrazioni vocali casuali. Altre a venire. 

Released October 31, 2020

Niamh McKinney is a singer-songwriter from Wicklow. Having kept notebooks of poetry since childhood, she didn't start writing songs until one day in 2015, when songs suddenly started pouring out. Unsure as to the nature of what she had composed during this first creative burst, a form of validation came a month later when she won the Allingham Songwriting Competition with one of the first songs she wrote.
      Poetically rich - both lyrically and melodically - her heart-rending songs draw on stories and life experience, captivating by way of their ethereal sense of urgency and foreboding.
     Niamh writes her songs a capella. Her musical partner and husband Stephen McKinney (who has previously played guitar and synths with prog rock fusion band Leo Drezden) then crafts evocative guitar accompaniment which interweaves seamlessly with the songs, complementing their haunting quality. The two are currently working on producing their debut album.
