It has an excellent structure and frame, but the frame is broken, which gives it a sense of ambiguity.

Woooh.. eardrum pulverization right there .. how much approaching 0 is that hertz reading??

What a dark step that took me over in science class in 1996. When all my night school class students told me the the sun was the ding moon. Don’t do drugs kids

Gathering of Silence 04

PS Perkins: Guitars, bass, lyre, vocals
Ron Thomas: Autoharps, Drums

Production notes:
---------------------------------------------
Very early on we wanted to use autoharps on this song to create a sort of swirling backdrop, reminiscent of the harps in Indian/Bollywood soundtrack songs of the seventies.

Right away there were challenges because the song is in B flat and is not wholly diatonic to begin with, utilizing a chord built on the augmented lydian scale in the choruses. So rather than transpose the song to a more amenable key (since the chromatic bits weren't going to work no matter what key we used) we instead re-tuned the autoharp. Moving through the strings one by one we tuned them either up or down a half step where applicable to bring them into key. Where the augmented chord hit in the choruses, we excluded those notes so that the autoharp was filling the diatonic parts of the chords and omitting the accidentals. It took us several tries to get it right. In the end we arrived at a chord progression that could be strummed on the autoharp and the modified chords could be played with existing dampers.

We also tuned the lyre so that the top half of the strings included the chromatic augmented notes while the lower register of the lyre was tuned using the diatonic, so the lyre could play the melody all the way through both parts of the song.

The inspiration for this song was essentially fourfold:
--------------------------------------------------------
First, H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying necromancer Joseph Curwen (from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward") who masked his true identity in order to thwart suspicion from his fellow townsfolk. He has many secrets lurking in his underground catacombs where he performs acts of necromancy most foul, extracting the "salts" of the dead in order to raise them at will and learn the secrets of ancient eldritch deities.

Second, a poem by Rudyard Kipling titled "En-Dor" which was a warning against the rise of spiritualism and the cost of communion with the dead in the early 20th century.

Third, the biblical Saul who traveled in disguise to visit a witch at the city of Endor in order to summon Samuel from the dead and garner advice on defeating the Philistines, but who only prophesies doom for Saul. Saul dies later the next day in the battle of Gilboa.

Lastly, the story of Odysseus communing with the underworld where he enlists the help of Tiresias to have a chat with the dead and secure for himself a safe journey home.

They all seek communion with the dead for one purpose: to gain knowledge which only those who have crossed over between realms might possess. 

Lyrics:
-------------------------------------
A mask may reveal what it’s meant to conceal
From those who are standing beside us
Armor of pride, so we learn to abide
By the monsters which hide deep inside us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us
Oh, how they scratch and they bite us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us

Only to know what the professor knows

Eating black bread, wearing clothes of the dead
The soil soaked in honey around us
For fear if we failed, leave the ogre unveiled
And it’s back in the grave where they found us
Back in the grave where they found us
Freed from the ties which had bound us
Back in the grave where they found us

Only to know what the professor knows

In the catacomb vaults, we extracted the salts
From cadavers to lengthen our youth
Chanting the names at the edge of the flames
And a mirror to show us the truth
A mirror which speaks only truth
See how it seeks not to soothe
A mirror which speaks only truth

Only to know what the professor knows

In the underworld maze, in the night of no days
Concocting the plan we’re devising
Much to endure on the road to En-Dor
And to snatch from Elohim arising
To snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising

Such a great buzz to reconnect with my good friend, ŞöļäçėŠțřëęț, and receive this newly inspired lyrical / vocal flow, to a piece of improv guitar I posted a while back. Dedicated to a very special person.

Then She Reaches For The Gun was a one off project, bringing together more than 50 artists from across the globe, releasing an album in late 2022 nomatesensemble.bandcamp.com/album/the-…ely-future But it was so much fun we are back for more. In defiance of the usual 10 piece band approach of this project this track is just Johnny Python providing the historically accurate   text and voice with myself making  unneeded backing noise : )

A more melodic approach to guitar playing with the emphasis on tone and creating a story. Easy-listening style with moments of uplifting joy, as well as a guitar solo. Hope you all enjoy :)

SENTIMENTAL
CHORUS
Cleaning the house today
I started getting sentimental
On my heart, my tears
Tears weren’t too gentle
With each photograph I picked up to clean got more sentimental
Missing people I have loved along the way

V1
A mother and a father I never knew
A mother and a father who took me in
A brother who was my childhood hero
Talking to him now don’t know where to begin
High school-friend, Pat, my old boyfriend, Lew
Trinkets, knick-knacks, butterfly chimes
Treasures from over the years
Dredged up memories of sunnier times

CHORUS
Cleaning the house today
I started getting sentimental
On my heart, my tears
Tears weren’t too gentle
With each photograph I picked up to clean got more sentimental
Missing people I have loved along the way

V2
And those who’ve passed away, wish I’d told them
How much I loved them when they were here
And I wish I could’ve held my aging mother’s hand
But from a thousand miles away, I wasn’t there
And I wish there was a way to go back in time
‘Cuz Lord knows I’ve never been happy here
But mostly I pray there’s a Heaven
No more sorrow, pain, no more tears, yeah

CHORUS
Cleaning the house today
I started getting sentimental
On my heart, my tears
Tears weren’t too gentle
With each photograph I picked up to clean got more sentimental
Missing people I have loved, loved along the way.
