MTD Mixtape May 2022

After our first collaboration https://soundcloud.com/markjbennett/an-angel-passed-by-tom-regnier-and-mark-j-bennett-1 I was pleased when Tom https://soundcloud.com/tom-r-gnier offered me a wonderful piece (with the same title) to make into a song. He suggested that I didn't think too much about the meaning, just about the feeling. This was good advice as it almost wrote itself, based around almost rhymes of the word 'deposit'. Once we had the basis it made perfect sense to invite Jussi https://soundcloud.com/juswel to add some great guitar throughout. I owe a huge thank you to Tom and Jussi for this opportunity.
Hope you enjoy our song, thanks for listening.

I need a soul deposit,
Some joy inside my wallet.		
Life’s gonna get good for me!

I know joy’s here because it’s
Gonna flow just like a faucet.
Life’s gonna get good for me!

Don’t need to write a sonnet,
It’s happenin’, an’ I ain’t no prophet.
Life’s gonna get good for me!

Heart’s locked up in a locket,
Don’t care, if I’m bein’ honest
Life’s gonna get good for me!

I need a soul deposit,
A little joy inside my pocket.
Life’s gonna get good for me!

Gonna get good,
Gonna get good,
Right here, 
Somethin’s happenin’

A Bar Down One Side

From the perspective of the woman who anointed Jesus:



I humble myself here before you
Shatter the alabaster above you
A fire is burning
Testing
Renewing 
Consuming 

And it’s me and you
All of us
In the fractals
Over and over
And over
The patterns all over

My flesh is weak my spirit is willing

And I’m feeling brand new 
From your spirit let me see it
Show the dark but describe it

Eros philia agape storge 
Fill me up
Ooo
All consuming
Oil dripping 

Eros philia agape storge 
Fill me up
Ooo
Feelings spilling
I am willing 

And I’m feeling brand new

I humble myself here before you
Shatter the Alabaster above you
A fire is burning 
Testing
Renewing
Consuming

Shatter the Alabaster

Thanks for checking out my tracks. A song about counting the good things in life. 
Lyrics:
In the hot Everglades
I always seem to find  a cool place
That's why they call me Shade
(oh yeah)The money, it  rains down on me
I'm an anti-blues money machine!
You know I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I don't have no curse from a monkey's claw
No, I don't need no rabbit's paw
Because I am lucky

I went down to the crossroad
You know I was gonna sell my soul
The Devil said "Hey Shade"
"We just don't need no more"
I'm lucky
No curse from a monkey's claw
I don't need no rabbit's paw
Because I'm lucky

I can take a bad hand
Smile and bluff
The next thing you know
I'm driving home with your truck
I'm lucky
Morning, noon and night

I always seem to get the benefit of the doubt
I've had a million heartbreaks
But I always seem to learn a little bit more about
My fellow man
And woman (uh yeah!)
No curse from a monkey claw
No need for a rabbit's paw
I'm lucky
You Folks know that I'm lucky
I'm lucky

I'm Lucky

2nd track from Grundomma 
Grundomma is myself and my brother Glenn Ward. It's been a few years since we actively made music together...but now seems like a good a time as any. We live a few 1000 kms apart across Australia so this a file swapping exercise. Bongo features Glenn on rhythm programming, synths and sampling, bass and yours truly on Piano/keys. The track features samples from the 1970s/80s cult Australian Tv show Prisoner  (released in the UK and USA as Prisoner: Cell Block H)  that ended up playing in repeat on late night Tv for decades afterwards. My brother even owns the DVD box set Thanks as always for stopping by. Grundomma salutes you : )

Bongo!

“To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billion stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle.”
― Carlos Castaneda, Don Juan: the Sorcerer

The Light of a Billion Stars

Another track from my album "Delirium"...
Hope you'll like it ! :)

It’s just a love song. Written in June/July 2022 but set in a room in an old house in Exeter in 1985.

Lyrics: 
I must accept its love

My watch strap smells of perfume from a town in Southern France
You wore my watch last weekend at a party where we danced
We were kissing in the pub, our friends were laughing,  they were singing
The band was playing loud, our lips were sore, our ears were ringing

And now, the window to my room is open to the night
Its cold but I can see the stars, and watch the trees sway in the moonlight
The tap drips, floors creak, but I’m safe within these walls
And I miss you so badly, can’t live at all

Its just so strong ,I feel possessed by these thoughts of you
I’ve tried to fight it but there is nothing I can do
I should accept its love

I hear the train announcements from platforms down the hill
And prayers are said for our love in a room that’s light and still
I love this life I live, but now its dull and slow without you
I don’t want that anymore, and now I know what I must do

And now, I’m alone and lying in the deepest bath
My fingers trace the places on my body where you kissed me in the dark
I want the movement of your body, I want the touch, I want the heat
And I miss you so badly, just got to get through this week

Its just so strong I feel possessed by these thoughts of you
I’ve tried to fight it but there is nothing I can do
And Its changed my life and now all I want is you
I must accept its love
Yes, I know its love
It’s our love 

(Fade out….)
(Sitting by an open window, cold breeze airs my mind
I’ve been writing words with lonely meaning just to pass the time
And I should be working, or reading or something, just things that have passed me by
But your image haunts, it controls my senses, you have my heart and mind
(So Lost without you)

Dystopia (collab Davst V AudioBake)

This song started as Polish friend Kuba's stem of his guitar and bass. I added mandolin, organ, and slide. I almost added vocals, as I came up with a prayer to Poseidon (I figure who better fit a surfer to pray to?), but I decided to let the melody just come through on the various instruments. Kuba just changed his name on here from 380 Librarians to Dr Stavros Magic Band, and again to My Name it is Noting. But if you haven't checked him out yet, he has tons of really cool music on his page. I'm very lucky he decided to share this one with me. We hope you enjoy it.

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."
