Our favorite tracks from around Ye Olde Cloude of Sounds for the month of June. Enjoy! 

(note: tracks were not all released by these artists in June, they are the tracks we first found and listened to in June)

MTD Mixtape June 2020

Entangled Shamans

Fantaisies series

The tracks were uploaded between September 2019 and July 2020.

In these tracks there is either very little rhythmic patterns in the traditional sense, or those that are present are mutating too much. Only professionals can dance on this stuff.

Been There Done That

Either traditional musical structures, or acoustic musical instruments, or both.

HK_Tradacoustic_03

Before The Devil Knows Your Name! (basic demo)

This one started as attempt to stay true to the traditional Romanian/Hungarian folk style, but it ended up taking on a life of it's own. In honor of the original idea, I chose the Romanian title which translates to "The Last Dance".

I Wanna Feel We're Just Like One

I wish that I could meet the crowd 
and feel that feeling once again 
I wish one day the business man
could join us to be as one
I want to spend a lot of time
in the land where there's no pain

I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one

I wish that I could meet the crowd 
and feel that feeling once again 
I wish one day I would not need
to exchange my time just for cash
I'm just feeling I'm part of a being
who exploded into infinite grains

I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one

I Wanna Feel We're Just Like One

This collage of synthesized soundscapes and noise dates back to 2005, still I thought it was worth releasing it. I really couldn't figure out that a pandemic was about to spread around the world shortly after this upload, by the way!

Feverfew by Steph Sweet

Free your mind, slip through time
Anaesthetise your own disaster
Step outside the pretty lies
Refute the slave, become the Master

You’re not really sure
You’d like to let it all go
You say you want something pure
You wanna let it all go, go, go

Hidden light of Judas eye
Anaesthetise your happy ever after
Turn the tide, the endless lies 
Will only ever bring you disaster

You’re not really sure
You’d like to let it all go
You say you want something pure
You wanna let it all go, go , go

Feverfew, feverfew, feverfew
Feverfew, feverfew, feverfew

Psycho

Metanoia: (psychology), the process of experiencing a psychotic "breakdown" and subsequent, positive psychological re-building or "healing"

________________
oh sweet friend
you wanna know the truth
I’m so tired of the world 
and all the news
the places people go
they’re crazy in their heads
it’s everywhere,
and I’m just too confused

I’ll swim until I’m sane
until I’m far away
I’ll bleed into the ocean
I’ll melt into the sky
I’ll bleed into the earth
and then I’ll be gone
at peace

oh don’t ask why
I really wanna live
I really wanna die
I’ll crawl into the ocean
I’ll bleed into the sky
until I’m far away
I’ll swim until I’m sane
I’ll find another way
that no one ever sees
where no one ever goes
and it’s all light

[WORK IN PROGRESS] D13.Go Further (a little update)

Hi. My name is Paul Amlehn. I am an interdisciplinary artist, working in literature, music, visual art, theater, and film.

My texts have been published in literary journals in 23 countries, in 7 languages, including Exquisite Corpse, the California Review, the Salzburg Review and Evergreen Review. My visual art and sound art works have been exhibited throughout the world, including at Artist's Space, Luhring Augustine, the Chelsea Art Museum, Tate Liverpool, and at festivals which include Art 42 Basel (with the Serpentine Gallery), documenta 14, and the 51st, 55th, 56th, 57th, and 58th Venice Biennales.

On my sound art and music projects I have collaborated with Robert Fripp (King Crimson), Ulrich Krieger (Lou Reed), Chuck Hammer (David Bowie), David Van Tieghem (Laurie Anderson), F.M. Einheit (Einsturzende Neubauten), Mick Harvey (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), Mick Rossi (Philip Glass Ensemble), Jeff Zeigler (Kronos Quartet), and many others.

I am working on an album of music which has texts and vocals by William S. Burroughs, in cooperation with the Burroughs Estate, and an album of music which reimagines the work of John Cage with the John Cage Trust.

Cover art for my albums has been provided by painter Gerhard Richter and artist and filmmaker David Lynch.

I am currently working on a number of visual art and music and performance projects, including a music project with poetry and vocals by Jim Morrison.

Soli Deo gloria.

Paul
