Name: Bluebird - Andy Skellam by Pear O'Legs Records
Duration: 4 min 9 s
Description: Released on the 27th October 2023 with POLR

A phone recording of a wood by a lake near where I live, wind noise and all, filtered manually using a Morgasmatron and Q-PAS on separate passes. These 'performances' were layered and band limited. A short loop was then progressively un-band-limited, step-by-step. Very little of the original recording or filter performances remain in the final mix as the slightly hypnotic loop takes over.

You'll hear a few clicks and glitches that I was delighted crept in somehow!

You can see and hear the original phone recording on YouTube @ https://youtu.be/-6p8Kgo_KgI

The assignment this week was to produce a song with as much silence as notes. I did not interpret silence as being total silence.

MMMMM...O
there hung an Iroquois sign
by the neon tubes above the Hang Moon Bar
music on the warm night air...bare thighs stickin to the hood of my beat up car
keepin to ice water...pullin tangles from my hair...catchin up on Old Town gossip
same old stuff, I swear
yea...and this hood still holds the heat
of too much highway...
the fever of the lines has lost its grip, and
sittin here - by the swingin pine
of the Iroquois sign
misfirin' neon gas
murmurin out the evenin
...at the Hang Moon Bar
and here I go...on
thighs stickin to the hood of my ole beat up car
yea...get on for a cruise
up to the drive in lot
tumbleweeds in congress with the old spent shells of my buckshot
roll me out tobacco for the ones who wander on
ghosts on the highway...
past the bar...with the Iroquois sign

The Iroquois Sign

Released on the 27th October 2023 with POLR

Bluebird - Andy Skellam

With creeping synths and hyper-conscious lyricism Dos Floris distils moments of life into sound waves.  In the wake of an emotionally charged separation, “Somebody Else” tackles the struggle to recenter oneself in a compassionate mindset after being deeply wounded by a partner acting out of their wounds. Instead of continuing the pattern of grasping at a futile relationship, the song expresses a will to forgive and move on.

Doesn’t feel like once before
Left me empty wanting more 
Called it off, I called it off
Called it off, I called it off

Big beautiful moon, how do you do? 
Always so good to look at you
Bathing the night in hues of blue
Big beautiful moon, here's looking at you

Big beautiful moon, big beautiful moon, big beautiful moon

You've got me feeling all right
Anything could happen tonight
To colour in the shade with light

Big beautiful moon, big beautiful moon, big beautiful moon

Do you remember the walks we took? 
The street lights flickered
The elm trees shook

Electricity in the air 
excites the atoms in my hair
Letting my head know that my heart 
is still there

Big beautiful moon, big beautiful moon, big beautiful moon

Big beautiful moon
Big beautiful moon
Big beautiful moon
