This composition speaks in pictures. I like it.

200-330 is really amazing...like the "buzz" around 500 or so with the streaming piano ..

It’s like modern jazz taking a step forward into the chaos.  Wonderful work!

Shock the Algorithm

RIP Gene Wilder

Lyrics:
Come with me and you’ll be
In a world induced by medication
Take a pill, and you’ll kill 
Every bit of your imagination

We’re all just guinea pigs
Huddled in our cage
It may affect you different
Depending on your age

Wander deep into sleep
As your apartment burns to desolation
Shed a tear, drink some beer
When your landlord threatens litigation

You want all the bells and whistles
Glowing lights and amphetamine crystals
Three blind mice, high on ice
See how they run

The Final Wager

Steer me in the right direction and I'll go
And I won't stop until I find
A bridge across the wind, passage through the rain
A workaround to buy us some more time

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

Sort me out so I can be the kind of guy
That you would proudly call your own
The stupid things I do will not embarrass you
And you will never be alone

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

Wind me up and I will walk the straightest line
A gauntlet of our enemies around
But just one look at me, they'll part like the red sea
And we will walk across the ground

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

The Final Wager

Full album on bandcamp - mikebenoit.bandcamp.com/album/reconfi…-combinations
Mike Benoit is a wonderful sound artist who reached out to me this year with the idea of taking some raw improv piano playing and reworking them to produce original tracks. This appealed to me because 1 - I ain't the greatest piano player so this was flattering and 2 - I spend so much of my time reworking other peoples sounds it would be awesome to be on the receiving end for a change : ) .The album features 4 tracks, each one originally recorded on a different piano then given the treatments by Mike.

lyrics:
And then i ask my self, is there a way out, could i be heard loud?
And then i ask my self, could it be?

And then i turn my head, up in the sky and wondering why?
could i turn back time or live it again?

Chances are thrown away, anothers have won not gone astray
but that's a blessing not a curse so thank you!

You think is over...over now, just shake your head and face now
face the truth and all the greatness around

Don't need nothing else, i got everything that completes me
all the rest is just a dusty grain of sand

Rock and Roll Kills

Dusty Grain of Sand

Mostly just me playing about, but there's a bit of Charlie Villiers' guitar in there too, notably giving the outro a little touch of class.

~Lyrics~
We were sitting in your back garden 
Clouds were drifting across the sky 
You turned to me and smiled
I think you had a tear in your eye
And then taking my hand you whispered,
“When I get this high,
I sometimes get the feeling I might be just about to die!”

Then with a shrug of your shoulders 
You told us about the butterflies
That there’s no way of them knowing
That their wings look like eyes
And if you consider the caterpillar
It’ll come as no surprise
Just how very little we all know about our lives

[Chorus]
Baby you kill me, all night long
Baby you’re killing it all night…

Later on that evening
the sun was streaming through the trees
You have to just surrender to life
At moments like these
We were kicking through the fallen leaves
In the pale winter sun
And though I tried to hide it, I always knew this day would come

I recall the very moment 
You didn’t even hesitate
It was written in the heavens
And written all over your face
But the storm is in the distance
The sky is a luminous pink
You can lead me like a horse to water…

[Chorus]
🎸 🤩

Baby You Kill Me
