Tatiana and I worked hard to find a suitable arrangement for this new version of Danza della lontananza. After much rehearsal, we finally liked it in this lively folk-gypsy mood. And I really had a lot of fun playing guitar as wingman in her awesome prelude!

Sandstorm In San Diego

I made a song a little while back, after being deeply touched by the tragedy of a neighbour struck low by a terrible, gnawing dementia.  A lovely, lovely man – not a close friend, but someone I counted as a friend, nonetheless.  A very incisive, perceptive, clever man, a gentleman; a retired aeronautical engineer, he had worked around the world, he loved people, all people, and conversation with them.  A great raconteur, he talked with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, and he lived for life, and his family.

He was crushed and transformed slowly and cruelly into something else by his condition.  Now his torment, whatever it may have been to him, is mercifully over; may his God bless him and may his wife and family find peace in the memory of the wonderful man he once, and always was.

By way of a bookend to the earlier song, I made this poem for my friend.

Rest in peace, Todd.

Tuesday Afternoon

Will the sun break through the clouds at last, on Tuesday afternoon?
Will diminished chords of adagio life staccato out a tune?
Will the gristle of my paranoia chew itself in disarray,
Or spit me out to hell’s side plate, by palliative kitchen hands scraped away?
Will the spiral pyres of my self-grief smoulder infinite through time,
The carbon, ashen remnant of what used to be my mind?
Just as walnut husks twixt the old sow’s molars, mastication can’t impugn,
Will the sun break through the clouds at last, on Tuesday afternoon?

Will the rain subsume the sun once more, upon the Wednesday morn?
When the blackbird skitters drenching down to greet the wormy dawn.
Whilst a spider tacks his silken bracts midst diamond dew, like neurons’ misfired arcing
To anaesthetise fragmented facts, underpinning thoughts embarking
Upon a train, within my brain, before ‘twas washed to smoky blue.
Like the walls of the old kipper house in the hometown once I knew.
This memory, thrice compressed and neatly threshed as corn from stalk is rudely hewn.
Will the sun break through the clouds at last, on Tuesday afternoon?

Tuesday Afternoon

A hauntingly melodic protest song wrapped in analog warmth. Tribal pulls no punches as it explores political division, fragile love, and the psychology of ideological drift. Jazzy seventh chords and vintage guitars underscore the story of two souls caught in a cultural crossfire—still close, but barely holding on.

💙❤️ Drop into the tension. Stay for the groove.

Massive thanks to Russell Sinfield for spending hours and hours mixing and mastering this EP, especially since he originally thought he was only mixing one song, lol! And thanks to taRka, Arkestar, Joerxworx, Bitzone, and Alex for all the inspiration, creativity, and energy you added to this track. You all made this track what it is!

I grew up on hip hop and have always been a hip hop musician first. Hip hop (and lo-fi indie rock) is the lens through which I always first approach making a song. After spending years listening to the music of our SoundCloud community, everyone's music has found a deep place in my heart. I believe that when hip hop artists first began sampling funk tracks in the 80s, it was out of love and respect for the music they grew up with and identified with. I now sample the music of my SoundCloud collaborators and friends to make new songs from those that I love. Tony Turn Around is a celebration of that process. It is a representation of the joy of sampling and the delight of playing around with cool sounds from musicians you respect and admire. I hope you all continue to enjoy what we have created as a community here on SoundCloud and Bandcamp!

This project is dedicated to the development of a more conscious, equitable, harmonious alternative to the destructive imperialist colonial neo-liberal capitalist consumer societies in power.

Many of us work 9 to 5 day after day after day with so little to show for it. We just live for today, have shorter life spans and become a company man. Sometimes it's good to get away. Some get away from it permanently disillusioned by daily news and the voting machine. They find a magical land under a stadium of glittering stars. This song is about a man from Montauk who finds peace where silver waters fall on shades of green. Enjoy the "Company man".
Lyrics:
Well, he came from the town of Montauk
Far on the eastern board of the U.S.A.
He worked his way across interstate lines
Each day seems to roll into another day.
He said enough of the acid reflux
Continuous migraine and pressure of time
Enough of the 9 to 5 routine
Waiting in queues and endless lines.

He feels those echoes of lost years
Feels emotions and heart felt tears
So dead in the water with a shorter life span
Just live for today, be a company man.

It seems too late to say goodbye
At the time we’re moving on
It seems to late to say goodbye 
when life has passed us by.

The sky is the stadium of glittering stars
Far from the city, fast jobs and cars
Silver waters fall on shades of green 
Disillusioned by the voting machine.
Rainbow colours light up his eyes
Free with the spirits under open sky
We all need a little of a magical land 
A short time away from the daily news stand.

The legend of the Dutchman's mine

My third collaboration with wonderful guitarist, David Dunham.  David wrote this peaceful breeze of a tune some 25 years ago on a warm summer's evening in Colorado. He has allowed me to add my touch to his music and what a pleasure it has been.  Thanks, David!

Nothing Else Matters

I'm not sure what I believe
or what this mind could ever come to be.
But as the days are lost within the weeks,
I'm not sure what I believe.

And I'm not sure just what I'll find 
the day I pack up, leave it all behind.
And if I finally make up my mind,
I'm not sure just what I'll find.

Oh, well my mother taught me always to behave,
while my father found his happiness in the darkest place.
I'll always remember the sunken look upon his face.

I'm not sure just what I need,
I never cared too much for money
or that kind of thing.
And all those drugs don't do so much for me.
Oh, I'm not sure just what I need.

Oh, well my father taught me always to be brave,
while my mother found her happiness in the farthest place.
I'll always remember the sunken look upon his face.

As The Days Are Lost Within The Weeks (demo)

Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Quiero saber si hace calor (Vocals by Mara​Oldfield)

Parole  Tangy B' h

                      C'est entre les cils des soleils, tendu 
			Nu comme une pierre, 
			Sans visage et sans langue, tourné
			Pendant les premières chaleurs 
			Que son ventre s'est enflé
			Pour que naisse le premier enfant


			A la spirale comme à l’œil
			Saignante de couleur
			Froide comme les fleurs
			Coincé dans les angles des arbres 
			Dans le vice qui monte et qui descend
			Pour que naisse le premier enfant.

Hypnosis

A love song for voice and acoustic guitar.
Lyrics to Waves
Hold me close and fall asleep with me
And float like boats across the big old sea
'Cause I know that I would go anywhere with you
Just say those three words and I'll say them back to you

I know that life can be difficult sometimes
And you know, I'm scares of a storm passing by
So let's build a boat, so we can float, across the waves

We will be safe

And day by day, my heart grows
And if our sail breaks we can always row
'Cause we are free - we can be anything we want to be
So let's grow old together and watch the grass turn green

I know that life can be difficult sometimes
And you know, I'm scares of a storm passing by
So let's build a boat, so we can float, across the waves

We will be safe

And if you look close there is land ahead
And feel the sea air and take a deep breath
And we are told that love can never be found
But here we are now, safe at last, our feet on the ground

I know that life can be difficult sometimes
And you know, I'm scares of a storm passing by
So let's build a boat, let's grow old
Let's build a boat, so we can float across the waves

We will be safe.

Waves
