What a masterful juxtaposition of acoustic and synthetic sounds, of playing and not-playing.

Very nice pieces all around. I love the playing and the atmosphere.

so brillant sound and music, that allows itself breaks and silence

my favorite sounds in a playlist...no special order..newest additions at the end.
a new volume every 101 titles. this is the volume 6.

"Blurred Codensa" is a digitized and funky early hours contortionist spiced up with prickly stabs from a quilt of ones and zeros. "Step Focus Dimense" continues this theme but takes it to a bouncier hip shaking space. "Codensa" is a hypnotic and building ride through meadows of precisely sliced and bent glass grass swaying in a soft black wind. "Symetriades" slows things down a little but still keeps the processed funk alive and keeps things locked in and hypnotized. "The Fringe" is a softer metalic journey through distant gossamer sheets of noise and wobbling coils of aural silver.

Keinzweiter - Blurred Codensa

Got these brushes and some jars of paint
I'm gonna turn myself into a saint
Not sure just what it is I seek
I just know I'm tired of this long losing streak

Got some boards laying 'round, some nails and screws
Got an old motor I can probably use
Tonight I think I'm gonna take a trip
Gonna build myself a rocket ship

This bird's got some singing to do
This bird's silent days are finally through
I'm gonna leave this pile of laundry here
And see what it's like up in the stratosphere

'Cause I'm tired of walking on the ground
I'm tired of standing up and falling down
Old gravity's gonna loosen its grip
When I blast outta here in my rocket ship

So many people miss the mark
They spend their whole lives trying to find a place to park
And it seems like the only colors they see
Are the ones coming at 'em through a flat-screen TV

I'm done with living like a rat in a maze
I'm ready to set the sky ablaze
It's time to give this world of fools the slip
Tell the boss I got me a rocket ship

Did you see the moon last night?  God, I love it
I wonder what Rene Magritte would've thought of it
Well, tonight when you look up there
You'll see me flying 'round it without a care

So honey, don't bother lighting candlesticks
I won't be 'round for dinner at six
And I'll bet you God's gonna flip
When he sees me coming in my rocket ship

Rainy Spring Day (PA)

Music by Jeff Burns, https://soundcloud.com/jeff-burns-4, who apparently has been playing banjo for 1/8th the time I have and is leaving me in the dust, much to my delight. Jeff uploaded this as 'idea in D' the other day, with the idea of me filling it out. I should have been going to sleep late Tuesday night but the track called; I didn't quite get enough sleep but we got a good track out of it. I sent the source files off to Jeff today and blammo, he mixed it down and had it up on his page (again, https://soundcloud.com/jeff-burns-4) by this evening. 
Jeff composed the track and played the lead banjo part, on a steel string resonator banjo; if you listen closely to Jeff's original, you can hear his fingers on the banjo head making a great rhythmic effect. I knew that would get steamrolled in a bigger production but loved that insistent shuffle feel, so added the washboard first, followed by the guitar and eventually my low-strung gut banjo following his lead.

I found Jeff's music via Hank's page a while back and have really enjoyed his compositions, improvisations and collaborations, so it's a joy to be included in this project.

Picture: not a spring pepper, but snowdrops, taken last weekend. I've had some blooming since December (whenever snow cover abated enough) but man, that first warm day every spring, boy do they pop and put some pep in my step. Of course we got snow again on Monday but hey, one step at a time.

INFO:

There’s something to be said about having your head in the clouds,
as long as they’re the kind produced by Berlin based artist Dr.
Nojoke. For his first release under "Klangscheiben", the
doctor weaves his signature plethora of handmade sounds into a
four-track composition fittingly dubbed Clusters & Clouds.
Among the array of textural beats live ghostly reverberating vocals
and lo-fi ambiance, as in “Autistic Cloud” and “Homeless Cloud,”
the latter distilled even further under labelmate Sven Laux’s
touch. “Klorren” balances dense, undulating rhythms with a trace of
mysticism. Call it cumulotechno.

Old Friend Night

A sentimental tribute to my neighbourhood on the banks of the river Clyde, written and recorded on the eve of the Commonwealth Games which are being hosted here in Glasgow.

A tad similar to some of my other songs, namely 'Solway', 'Viewforth' and 'Sunrise', but never mind. Possibly letting some of my 70's influences show a bit here too.

This photo was taken a few hundred yards from my flat, on the bridge near the BBC HQ at Pacific Quay in Glasgow, on a surprisingly calm and sunny morning last winter.

Hope you like it, any and all feedback much appreciated, and thank you for checking it out :o)

Written and recorded 22nd July 2014

cold air
bright sky

still water
on the Clyde

steam rising
sun shine

on the still water
of the Clyde

look west
to the ocean

from the still water
of the Clyde



On The Clyde

Baby, I know you cannot hear me now 
 'Cause you're fast asleep 
 But I love you now 
 Colors inside your head go spinning around 
 Like a ferris wheel 
 Exploding and falling to the ground 
 Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming 
 My baby, she's dreaming 
 Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking 
 I'm just staring at the ceiling 
 Waiting for the feeling 
 Oh, oh but when she calls, 
 I know she's the one 
 Makes me want her harder 
 Makes me want to be a little stronger 
 Still I see monsters 
 Still I see monsters 

 Baby, I know you cannot hear me now 
 'Cause you're flying around 
 At the speed of sound 
 Colors inside your head go spinning around 
 Like a ferris wheel 
 Exploding and falling to the ground 
 Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming 
 My babies, she's dreaming 

 Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking 
 I'm just staring at the ceiling 
 Waiting for the feeling 
 Oh, oh when she calls 
 I know that she's the one 
 Makes me want it harder 
 Makes me want to be a little stronger 
 Still I see the monsters 
 Still I see the monsters
