BROADCASTED SECRETS

My April Favs

April Friends

LOLA is the first cd released by the percussion duo formed by
Gabriele Lattuada and Lorenzo D’Erasmo. The cd title and the name
of the duo are the same, in order to highlight the mutual affinities.
The research on the sound materializes in the choice of the
instrumental setup: a table with little percussions, objects and a
variety of frame drums. Percussions, timber and sound point out sonic
environments drawing from classical experience and shared research
on less conventional materials.

The tracks evoke a sonic body that can be listened in its continuity,
or focusing on single sound events showing themselves in the overall
picture. The acoustic perception recalls the visual one, reminding
each time the image of an iridescent prism. In fact the musicians
want also to enlighten the sensorial suggestion that might derive
from the listening of the work. It’s no coincidence that the cd is
furnished by a series of fine linocut prints representing the visual
translation of the cd sonic development.

GOOD VIBES

(Written by Terry Reeves, Feb. 2021)

The past few months have been a wonderful time for my eldest son and his partner, who are expecting a child. They wanted to share the good news of the pregnancy but had some concerns about going public in the early stages and decided to wait until the first sonogram and medical check confirmed everything was as it should be. 

During those early days the undivided love they felt for each other in starting a new family grew and when they felt secure enough they finally shared their news with the family.

I’ll never forget the excitement when they showed us the first sonogram photo – that new family was becoming more real with every passing day.
Then came the second image, showing the baby nearing full development, with a clear indication of gender.  Jason and Nicky felt it was time to name their child, choosing Richard Terence Reeves – RTR.   Sharing the name Terence with me makes me so very emotional.  
Being a granddad was something I had never expected but I am filled with pride to be just that to Richard Terence Reeves.

Deep thanks to Hans for once again producing such a wonderful arrangement for the song I wrote to celebrate the occasion.  It really captures the growing excitement we‘ve all been feeling over the past few months. Thanks so much for listening. 

Gary has asked me to apologize to anyone who has messaged him over the last couple of months and hasn’t received a reply.  Health problems and hospital appointments, among other things, have been taking up much of our time recently.  We both want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has listened to, liked, commented on and reposted ‘Soundcloud Village’ - your support is keeping our spirits sky-high.  (Terry Reeves)

We have a secret to tell you
An excitement of questions 
A certainty of desire
And no fear of direction 

The importance of sharing
A desire to include
The love of two increasing 
Wanting to tell all the moon

It’s the time to share what we see
It’s the time for what we are
It’s time for going far

Trying to be very careful 
Of a single life responsibility 
Without holding an existence 
Hugging more making 2 to 3

A very beautiful picture
Development of our family tree
Gradually growing confidence 
Of what a future life will be

It the time to share what we see
It’s the time for what we are
It’s time for our growing star

Our selfish single reasons
To each other a love we see
No apology or justification 
Another chapter of feeling free

There never was a question 
Of commitment to achieve
The question is for others
Beliefs for you and me

It’s the time to share what we see
It’s the time for what we are
It’s time for R.T.R

When warming up for recording the greensleeves cover I've uploaded two weeks ago I did this little improvisation over the main melody of 'For The Love Of God' by Steve Vai. 

I used the Ibanez JEM77FP into the boosted clean channel of the Bluguitar Amp1 into the Blubox (set on Black 1x12 I think) and used a Mooer A7 for the reverb. 

Also: I've got my first soundtrack on Bandcamp, so if you want a free download of cool sci-fi sounds head on over to the following link. You can also check out the last three original albums I've done.

Improvisation_20: ambient take on the melody from Steve Vai's 'For The Love Of God' with the JEM77FP

Lyrics:
You speak of love as if you know.
And touched by gods as you go.
The pain of hands as they land.
Inflicted by your lovers hand.

Fuck the one who loves to hurt you.
And fuck you cause you care.
And fuck me cause I'm stupid.
Cause I'm the one who is still here.

Fuck the one who loves to hurt you.
And fuck you cause you care.
And fuck me cause I'm stupid.
Cause I'm the one who is still here.

You tell stories so hard to believe.
Depths of pain with no relief.
The sacred things you must endure.
To keep yourself in line and pure.

Fuck the one who loves to fuck you.
And fuck you cause you care.
And fuck me cause I'm stupid.
Cause I'm the one who is still here.

Fuck the one who loves to hurt you.
Fuck you cause you care.
And fuck me cause I'm stupid.
Cause I'm the one that is still here.

Notes: 
This track starts out on Skype with the three of us sharing a drink and Jay pulling up his guitar and sharing his idea for a bass line.  I proceed to work on it and next call I send him a couple of revisions.  

Jay says "no, I mean like this"...my response was did you just Dave Grohl me? You could see the look of horror in his eyes as he begins processing what was said... I busted out laughing as I knew what he meant...but couldn't resist the opportunity to for a little mischief.  

We started this out trying to capture a bit of a NIN'ish type of vibe with the bass being the central focus driving the track.  We all jumped around to new positions on this one...and pushed boundaries.  

I think that is the musical binding that ties The Welcome Parade together.  It is that no one says I am this and only this.  

I hope when you listen to this you can feel that friendship and inclusiveness.  The subject matter on this track is dark and perhaps difficult to see the unity behind the scenes.  At least in part that is always why I put in some notes. 

Peace and love brothers and sisters!

Belepoc is a project I share with my long time collaborator Pablo Valotta. For the last 4 years we have been experimenting with different ideas ending up with no less than 20 tracks. We took five of them to make an EP already available on every streaming platform. 
Hope you enjoy it.

Belepoc - Canto 2

The world is under siege ...again. Olympics under way in the midst of a pandemic? Does it matter? Of course it does. However, when so much seems to be amiss for so many, for so long, maybe, it Doesn't Matter? An ode to a dystopian moment in human history.

                                          It Doesn’t Matter (available for free D/L at www.terrywigmore.com in the collection called Doesn't Matter)

Lyrics:
    It doesn’t matter how it works, just as long as it does
    It doesn’t matter what you think, just as long as you thought
    It doesn’t matter how you look, as long as you can see
    It doesn’t matter what’s in your mind, as long as it’s…free
    Look out…here we go…everybody got to know
    Everybody get together now
    One two a one two three…everybody look at me
    Everybody get together now
    Look out…here we go…everybody got to know!
    It doesn’t matter…yada yah yah…yada yah yah…yada yah yah yah
    Yada yah yah…yada yah yah…yada yah yah yah
    It doesn’t matter that you’re thinking, that you can or you can’t
    But it matters to your brother, that you’re probably right
    It doesn’t matter, coming second, the first or the last
    It doesn’t matter how a fool’s made, only when he smiles
    (INST)
    It doesn’t matter who you are, just as long as you were
    It doesn’t matter how badly you failed, just as long as you tried
    It doesn’t matter what you do, just as long as you do
    It doesn’t matter…it doesn’t matter…it doesn’t matter!

Lofty Castle
A lofty castle of my own
Like Crusoe pulls up the ladder to be alone
Steerforth, he is our guiding star
Inns of molten blue; that’s our repertoire
“Fill full your cups”

I hear the squawk of corkscrew sound
Long before it’s needed for the next maroon round
I’ve laughed at my own jokes all night
How town sharpens an appetite

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Vast truths that mortals seldom” found

I heard someone fall down the stairs
False reports the tumbler was in fact truly yours
Perhaps there’s foundation after all
I’m on my back on the passage floor

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“But still we held as time flew by”

Who’s that smoking right by the fireplace? It was me!
Who’s that leaning out of the window? It was me!
Contemplate one self in the mirror? That was me too!

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Drink to me only with your eyes”

A re-imagined version of the first song we ever wrote as a collaborative project..

LYRICS:

Just a minute while I write it down
You know I got such a bad memory
I tried to smile but it became a frown
Don’t know if it’s Sunday or it’s Wednesday

I saw a rabbit on the road today
It looked at me and carried on regardless
I thought I’d never find the words to say
How strange it is to live among the faceless

Locked
My friends stay outside
Down my tools and I hide
Locked inside my mind
Down my spirit slides
Am I alive?

I need a minute just to think straight
I need a second just to pause
I need a minute just to think straight
I need a minute just because I'm locked
Inside my mind
Down my spirit slides
Am I alive?

Locked [unlocked]

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.
