Shut The Fuck Up

Just for fun. 

I shared a rehearsal space in the basement of Westbeth Artist Housing (please see the photo) in the late 70’s. This music has to do with my dream-memory of the place.

The basement was labyrinthine. Until a few years ago, I still had recurring dreams of that environment. It was constructed of grey painted cinder block or some such stony material. There were many bands in many rooms down there, and as you walked the halls you’d hear all the musics leaking out from under steel doors in cacophony. Often you’d hear the band in the next cell right through your own stone wall as you were playing. That made it hard to record in there. We did it anyway. 

The sonic qualities of this recording remind me of those hallways as do some of the somewhat antiquated guitar moves. And by the way, I love antiquated guitar moves!

Westbeth Catacombs

rotten weather   rollin’ in

we’ll go walkin’ anyway

‘gainst the wind


get your go-bag ready
load the car up


did you hear it?  distant roar

keep your ear down to the ground

check the score


get your hard hat ready
fill those bottles up


i can’t remember
were you there?
your fingers running
through my hair


let them come now  let them try

beating down the beautiful

of our tribe


purple mountains raging
blackened skies 
constitution’s aging
battle cry 

high angels  hiding

my country  dying

(not too late)   (late)

let’s listen  let’s breathe 

(not too late)   (late)

Lyrics:
Whisper in the night will you guide my way
Don’t destroy me if you want to love me 
Cause your deep ill

Greedy pain
My mistakes of it all
Falling rain
you averted your eyes from me

Don’t be a lies
Just grab the real for us
You stare at the truth
But It's so...

<JAPANESE>
夜のささやきが私の道を導いてくれる
私を愛したいならもう壊さないで 
あなたの深い病

貪欲な痛み
全ての過ち
降りつづけるのは雨
あなたは私から目をそらすけれど
嘘をつかないで
私たちのために本当のことを掴んで
真実を見つめるあなた
でもそれは偽り

Composed in DADGAD tuning and played on a Bamburg FSC guitar (Carpathian Spruce/Macassar Ebony), Recorded February of '25. "There is Only Today" brings a hopeful and peaceful message to value what each and every day brings in this life. Hope you enjoy and thanks for following along!
 This picture was taken on a beautiful late spring evening at the very tip of the island where I live.

THERE IS ONLY TODAY

People from foreign countries are connected. As a former radio operator in the army, I always found it fascinating to immerse myself in this world.
Menschen aus fremden Ländern stehen in Verbindung. Als ehemaliger Funker bei der Armee fand ich das immer faszinierend in dieser Welt einzutauchen.

I changed the pic when I found this one. It represents exactly what I felt when making this track.

#edit May 3rd: I recommend to check the photo of Trump and Zelensky at the Vatican, a great photo and I hope that the recent  "mineral deal" will bring good things... Despite that, I keep the current pic with this track!

Standing in the wreckage feeling helpless but a glimmer of light pierces the veil of doubt like a flicker of flame and drives us forward.

Popfuture is the work of Edmund Ward, an electronic musician based in North London. He has been writing music since the mid-nineties and saw some success back in the day with a band called Eggboy in which he collaborated with his brother John Jo Ward. Edmund originally comes from Malvern in Worcestershire and draws inspiration from his fairly unusual upbringing, living in the middle of nowhere, in a terrifying Victorian house and the youngest of a family of 11 children (all by the same Catholic parents). As luck would have it, Ed's taste in music is also catholic (small c). Drawing on transcendent melodies from Thomas Tallis to Brian Eno, the fine quantised beats of Kraftwerk, the complexity and humour of Aphex Twin, the sneer of Lou Reed, the mystique of Pink Floyd (prior to Gilmour's appalling last three albums) and the hugeness of Justice (French duo). Ed is pretty much switched on by any genre of well crafted music, art, comedy or film.
