I, think much more today
About it is I stand to lose
More than what I could gain
When I kneel down to pray
About what it is that I must to choose
To keep the pain at bay

Open my mouth to say
About what seems the most confused
When it could be so plain
I think much more today
About what I stand to lose

What I stand to lose

When I kneel down to pray
About what it is I stand to lose
More than what I can gain
Open my mouth to say
About what it is that I must choose
To keep the pain at bay

I think much more today
About what seems the most confused 
When it could be so plain
And when I find a vein
I know what I stand to lose

What I stand to lose

What I Stand To Lose

Aporia #1

Audrey

The next single off A New Era & Nothing More, the second album from Arcane Synthetic currently in progress. Featuring Jonathan Ashwell from Skitch Hiker on electric guitar and bass.

Inheritance & Cult

SitnThere

Aporia is an ongoing Internet collab project based around the piano/bass duo 'KIrby/Ward'. Occasionally we capture something at rehearsal that we send to dummer Dane Renshaw (Japan) and guitarist Bruce Musser (U.S.A) to add their respective talents too. Its usually pretty spacious and dreamy : ) This time however the piece we sent out was really busy and instead of trying to pare it back we thought fuck it lets go full hog and make it super busy. So we asked Guitarist Axel Weiß (Germany)and Saxophonist Phil Bywater (Australia) to join the party. So The sextet was born. Of note is that none of the players heard any other parts of the work other than the original Piano/Bass recording, and in the  case of the Saxophones poor Phil didn't hear anything at all! I just used some work he had sent me. So all those nuanced interactions are complete sonic chance. as always Aporia may or may not record more music

Aporia #3 (Sextet)

Lucy, Lucy v2

My version of an old style murder spree song.
From the album "Röckers" (2024)

Lyrics:
Blowing in
With the desert wind
A 24-hour convenience store
A 24-hour convenience store
With a ding as you open the door
C'mon , get on the floor
You Cashier! Get your hands up
I hear the ice falling in the cup
By the soda machine
Cashier! Unlock that safe
If you know what I mean
24-hour convenience store

When I go outside
I breathe in
That hot desert air
Let's all head out the door
Let's breathe it in
That hot desert air
Hot desert air
You can burn anything out there
Cause they don't care

" I hear static in my head,"
I said
With a chemically inbalanced murmur
I kill with an evangelistic fervor
I put those bodies in the dumpster
I'm gonna breathe in that hot desert air
You can burn anything out there
Because they don't care
Hot desert air
You can burn anything out there
Hot desert air...

El Sueño de Hendrix (Hendrix's Dream)

instrumental I heard in a dream 

El Sueño de Hendrix Dream

Well this one is different . I asked Andrea to send me some mythical lyrics , which she did , and I put a basic idea for a song together . When I sent it to Axel to have a play about with it he completely transformed it into what it is  now . With his instrumentation and production , and Andreas fantastic and inspired lyrics , this is ( hopefully ) a joy to listen to , enjoy ! Next up on the 1st of November is a moody blues/rock song by Dave Cooper and myself , closely followed by 2 songs by myself . Me and Dave , and me and Gaz have just completed songs yet to have a release date , and me and Charlotte are half way through a new one . Thank you so much for listening .
Intro

Legend says a fortune

Can be found upon this earth

The map is in the Constellations

A myth of royal worth


V1

Queen Cassiopeia 

Known for her boastful vanity

Thought too highly of herself 

And enraged the powers that be


Punished by Poseidon

She was cast into the sky

Upon a golden throne she sits

Celestial she flies


Chorus 

Oh, she's beautiful

She sparkles in the night

Oh, she's beautiful

Majestic mystic sight (x2)


V2

She moved with the seasons

Slowly turning upside down

All the jewels adorning her

They fell upon the ground


The five bright stars denoting 

Five lost precious gems

The path to treasure can be yours

Connect the dots my friends


Chorus

Oh, she's beautiful

She sparkles in the night

Oh, she's beautiful

Majestic mystic sight (x3)


Solo duel


The five bright stars denoting 

Five lost precious gems

The path to treasure can be yours

Connect the dots my friends


Chorus

Oh, she's beautiful

She sparkles in the night

Oh, she's beautiful

Majestic mystic sight (x2)


Outro

She's Beautiful

Recorded  12 October 2024 at Casa Bagnolo, Milis Sardinia. A performance for processed field recordings and improvised Bass Guitar. Written during my Nocefresca residency and performed as part of the AMACI Giornata del Contemporaneo festival 2024

Country Dreams

■概要(Overview)
雲の上まで続く断崖。
そこに設置されたエレベーター。
「最上階」には素晴らしい世界が広がっているらしい。
しかし、そこに行って帰ってきた人は誰もいないという。
「お客様、ようこそいらっしゃいました。(ウィィィィン・・　※妙な機械音)」
・・・・・・
そんな感じの曲です。

A cliff that extends above the clouds. An elevator installed there. 
They say a wonderful world unfolds on the "top floor." 
However, no one has ever returned from there.

"Welcome, dear guests. (Wiiiin... strange mechanical sound)" ...... 
That's the kind of song it is.

■歌詞
「エレベーター」

お客様ようこそ
いらっしゃいました
世にも珍しい
アトラクションです

超絶スピード　駆け上る　岩壁を
岩肌　打ち付けられながら　頂上めがけ
泣いても　叫んでも　転がり続ける

エレベーター in nature
エレベーター 岩壁のアトラクション


虹色のライトと
豪華な内装
外の世界から
「最上階」まで

超過重量は　投げ落とす　順番に
岩肌　踊り狂いながら　楽園めがけ
泣いても　叫んでも　かき消されるだけ

エレベーター in nature
エレベーター ワイルドなアトラクション


最上階は見渡す限りのお花畑
あらゆる苦しみ　無くなってゆく
極楽浄土


超絶スピード　駆け上る　岩壁を
岩肌　打ち付けられながら　頂上めがけ
泣いても　叫んでも　転がり続ける
転がり始めたら　転がり続ける
極楽浄土まで　転がり続ける

エレベーター in nature
エレベーター 岩壁のアトラクション


■Lyrics (Translated)
"Elevator"

Welcome, dear guests You have arrived At a rare attraction
Speeding up the cliffs at incredible speed Battering against the rock face, 
heading to the top Crying or screaming, they keep rolling

Elevator in nature Elevator, the cliffside attraction

Rainbow lights and luxurious interiors 
From the outside world To the "top floor"
Excess weight is thrown off, 
in order Dancing crazily along the rock face, 
aiming for paradise Crying or screaming, they are just drowned out

Elevator in nature Elevator, the wild attraction


The top floor is a flower field as far as the eye can see 
All suffering disappears In the heavenly paradise

Speeding up the cliffs at incredible speed Battering against the rock face, 
heading to the top Crying or screaming, 
they keep rolling Once they start rolling, 
they keep rolling All the way to paradise

Elevator in nature Elevator, the cliffside attraction

Point1:elevator(エレベーター)

2024 has seen Dani and I getting to play in a room that just happens to have a full size grand piano. Its called the Organ room due to it housing a 200 year old pipe organ but we have kept our dirty little hands of that instrument. Over summer we are going to select a bunch of these improvs for a new album to celebrate our time in this fantastic place

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
In der Tiefe meiner Seele
Liegt ein Traum aus alter Zeit
(liegt ein Traum aus alter Zeit)
Durch die Schatten, durch die Fehler
Führt ein Weg zur Helligkeit

Jeder Schritt bringt neue Fragen
(neue Fragen)
Doch mein Herz, es führt mich weit
(führt mich weit)

Denn das Licht in meinem Herzen
Brennt durch jede Dunkelheit
(brennt so hell durch Dunkelheit)
Was zerbrochen war wird heilen
In der Kraft der neuen Zeit
(in der neuen Zeit)

Manche Türen bleiben zu noch
Andre öffnen sich von selbst
(öffnen sich, ganz von selbst)
In dem Tanz von Licht und Schatten
Find ich was mich wirklich hält

Durch die Prüfungen des Lebens
(durch die Prüfungen)
Wächst die Weisheit Tag für Tag
(Tag für Tag)
Was ich gestern noch beweinte
Macht mich stärker als ich war
(stärker als zuvor)

Und das Licht in meinem Herzen
Strahlt nun heller als je zuvor
Was ich suchte liegt im Innern
Öffnet mir ein neues Tor
(ein neues Tor)

In der Stille find ich Klarheit
(finde Klarheit)
In der Liebe find ich Ruh
(finde endlich Ruh)

English translation:
In the depths of my soul
Lies a dream from ancient times
(lies a dream from ancient times)
Through the shadows, through the mistakes
There is a path to brightness

Every step brings new questions
(new questions)
But my heart leads me far
(leads me far)

Because the light in my heart
Burns through every darkness
(burns so brightly through darkness)
What was broken will heal
In the power of the new time
(in the new time)

Some doors remain closed
Others open by themselves
(open by themselves)
In the dance of light and shadow
I find what really holds me

Through the trials of life
(through the trials)
Wisdom grows day by day
(day by day)
What I wept yesterday
Makes me stronger than I was
(stronger than before)

And the light in my heart
Shines brighter than ever
What I was looking for lies within
Opens a new door for me
(a new door)

In the silence I find clarity
(find clarity)
In love I find peace
(finally find peace)

Les Anges de Noël

Poor Santa, a victim of crime. It was an inside job!
Happy Holidays!

Lyrics:
I'd packed my toys in the sleigh
Getting ready for that special day
I see that you've decked the halls
You've hung your Christmas balls
 I bring you toys of 'international feel' (thanks to Todd 😉 )
Espresso makers
Dolls made of steel
The Elves they don't need no pay
They just do it
For the feels!
But this year
Something is wrong
The warehouse was empty
The padlock on the floor
It was an inside job
There goes your Christmas fun

Run, run ,run, run, Rudolph
Rudolph is on the run
Run, run ,run, run, Rudolph
He killed your Christmas fun

Run, run, run, run Rudolph 
He stole your Christmas fun!

Rudolph Is On The Run

Ambergris
Ambergris is a 30 minute live performance based upon a 3-minute composition commissioned for the exhibition Apologue Isle, shown at Contemporary Art Tasmania in October and November 2024. The performance combined an extrapolated version of the original composition ( built from field recordings) with improvised bass guitar. Big Thanks to Andy Hutson for commissioning my piece and for creating Apologue Isle
 
Live footage of Ambergris - https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/1035385453
Apologue Isle Website - https://www.apologueisle.com/

Apologue Isle
An apologue is a moral fable, often using animals or non-human entities as the primary drivers of narrative.  The ‘apple isle’ was a nickname given to lutruwita/Tasmania to highlight the importance of the state’s apple export industry; with the first apple trees being planted by colonist William Bligh in 1788. These trees mark the beginning of industrial agriculture and extractive industry, and their subsequent impacts on the landscape and original inhabitants of lutruwita.   From these converging starting points, Apologue Isle aims to reframe the human perspective and create new stories that propose a world inhabited not by humans battling nature, but a complex, entwined system of objects, beings and space.  After many conceptual iterations, the project eventually began as an invitation. Five writers were asked to create a new story, with two simple requirements: it must refer to the natural world, and at least one character must be non-human. These stories were then transformed into sets, puppets were built, music composed and narration recorded.     The project unfolded like a surrealist exquisite corpse, each person building on the work of the one before, whilst retaining creative control over their own work. This aimed to enhance a sense of trust between collaborators through the giving over of ownership and acceptance of the other’s intent. 
The result is five unique stories, told through an unexpected array of characters, that reflect on what it means to live in our world at this moment in history. And alongside these stories is a burgeoning community of creative individuals, brought together through the shared ideas and ethics of the project.

A song about breath taking love...or is it a breath too far?
Video link here - https://youtu.be/JP1vJqyqbXA

Lyrics
You’ve been throwing words away like confetti on a grave
cos when you had a chance to wait but instead you got laid
now you’re so low and so down with no smile for a frown
but still Jumping up and down to stop the world spinning around

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe through me

You take your pills for your pain and drank hope for your pleasure
keep faking smiles in the rain cos no one can measure
all the bills in your hands and full holes in your pockets
while the lost friends you owned won’t let you stop it

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe through me
Breathe through me
Breathe through me
Breathe through me

You swear yesterday’s plans are just tomorrows new regrets
and that worthless fools words get too easily spent
our best intentions have flown left no nest to be grown
cos you can’t teach an old dog to get blood from a stone

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe through me
Breathe through me
Breathe through me
Breathe…Just breathe
Breathe…please breathe
Breathe…
Breathe…Just breathe
Breathe…please breathe
Breathe…
Breathe…Just breathe
Breathe…please breathe
Breathe…breathe through me
Breathe…breathe through me
Breathe…just through me
Breathe…only through me
Breathe…breathe through me


Breathe through me (condensation compensation)

The piece, born from the collaboration between Vicenzo, who uses his new alias Piano For Your Soul, and Francesco Adornetto, invites the listener to immerse themselves in an inner journey filled with emotional nuances. The vibrant and suspended melodies reflect a balance between fragility and resilience, symbolising tears that are not only a sign of sorrow but also of transformation and hope.

This composition unfolds as a story without words, a dialogue between two artistic souls exploring the infinite with keys that sing and sighs that dance between the lines. Visual and musical art intertwine in a work that celebrates the hidden beauty of the deepest emotions.

This artwork, titled Tears of Eternity, embodies the delicacy of a piano piece that evokes profound melancholy and intimate beauty. Creating a dialogue between ethereal flowers, faded sheet music, and a stylized piano, the image reflects the emotional flow and the passage of time.

Live Reflexion #029

When https://soundcloud.com/dneye asked me for a track to play his fantastic guitars on, I brainstormed this 5/4 piece with odd chord set in order to make it difficult to him and thus get the best from his skills. After programming it, I added some organic solos (yep I played keys) to make it seem more friendly ;))))

And he... succeeded in the challenge, overcoming all my expectations !!!
