Advice

Finished off that Kelly Lee Owens/Sylvan Esso vibes sweetheart. Tiktok seemed to like her so I thought better shape her up. A nice interlude between my more intense stuff. You deserve something sweet & soothing. Hope you like her. She'll be on the streamers soon. I dunno might f around & pray spotify likes her enough for the new Grimes playlist eh.
All written and performed, produced etc by me in my room since yesterday afternoon. Did the cover too. Thank god for pixlr e, saving us photoshopless souls.

Live in the studio recording, circa 2007 in Paris, reworked and remixed Friday November 27th 2020.

Again, from the  masters I got back some weeks ago and I am rediscovering and reworking some music for there.

This is part of a one day session with these extraordinary musicians  this is the only session with the three of us together in the studio. We recorded tones of music that day, including [junto0463](https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/two-memories-gradient-disquiet0463) and [naviarhaiku358](https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/black-horse-naviarhaiku358) with a 4th element , Pajaro Canzani on guitar)

This is the introduction to an instrumental composition we recorded for a producer (documentary) who accepted the mix but later asked for the introduction to be removed.
So this free form 2 minutes remained unused.
I remixed this today for 27/NOV/2020 thanksgiving  junto challenge
https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0465-you-thank 
as a thank you note for those excellent musicians.

I spent some time live and i the studio with Bobby since that day, but completely lost track of Nico, 10.000 Km between us...

Going back to these masters is a joy and reminds me how great it is to play together with fellow musicians and how grateful I am that I could do it with such great, talented guys.

'Saint Marie'

At 55 Saint Marie 
How you stole my heart on a summer breeze 
The wind and rains had took this breath away 
We rumbled home on a downtown train 

At 55 Saint Marie 
A piano played with naivety 
A 3 note phrase that would replay
‘I love you’ 
 
We’ll walk this earth as ‘a’ one 
Daughter to mother, father from son 
All is love

At 55 Saint Marie 
Stands a light house to guide this fleet 
The Great Western warms the wanderer 
A soulful song

In this book of days, a day to daydream
Love is all, love is all, love is all that you need
Illuminate
Illuminate

Be still my heart come the fading light
Be still my heart come the changing times 
How the magic comes to the spaces in between
The rain drenched flags of Saint Marie
The rain drenched flags of Saint Marie

At 55 Saint Marie 
How you stole my heart on a summer breeze
A 3 note phrase that would replay
‘I love you’ 
‘I love you’

For Saint Marie read this is Gorstey's take on a 'love song'.
Written on a cold wet morning in Cardiff, January 2020 and then demoed in the Gorstey Shack not soon after to 'keep zee vibe'. 
With the aid of long-term collaborator and friend Gavin Monaghan the song was brought to life at the Magic Garden Studios in Wolverhampton.
Honorary members of The Gorstey Lea Street Choir that feature here:
Gary Hill adds piano and additional guitar
Ash Sheehan (The Twang, Dead Sea Skulls, Glen Hughes band) adds trumpet/flugelhorn and percussion

Mark Gardener (Ride) adds the haunting 'shipwreck' strings and he mastered the tracks @ his OX4 Sound studio in Oxford

Stay safe, be well
Over and out… for now…

9. I NAME MY MIND AND THROW IT TREATS, HOPING IT WILL BECOME TRACTABLE (Music: Roberts/Read / Lyrics: Nagel)

every year it’s the same performance when i sit before the holy trinity / they test my “insight” and my current conformance; i.e. my acquired ability / to kick the ball through shifting goalposts, smile politely when they patronise / because i know when they say “be honest”, they’re not inviting me to speak my mind // (it makes me want to) / take drugs, get mad, abscond, be bad, just sleep / be loved, not judged, self- sabotage, repeat // they discuss my latest diagnoses, prescribe another programme of recovery / when they provoke me with the keys to liberty, i’m expected to feel nothing / they refuse to acknowledge that the system is broken and how it contributes to people getting “stuck” / the elephant in the room, institutional r-word? everyone knows they don’t give a - // (it makes me want to) / take drugs, get mad, abscond, be bad, just sleep / be loved, not judged, self-sabotage, repeat // (it makes me want to) / take drugs, get mad, abscond, be bad, just sleep / raise hell, not tell when something’s bothering me / fight back, change tack, question reality / take notes on those who keep taking notes on me / kick doors, stay calm, gnaw off my arm and scream / be held, get space, get out of this place, repeat

MING NAGEL – vocals / JON READ – keyboards, trumpet / ALAN ROBERTS – guitars / JAMIE VARLEY – Moog bass / DAVE TIDMARSH – drums / HARI TRIVEDI – tabla / LEE SPREADBURY – Moog Sub 37

Project Blackbird consists of five UK-based musicians: vocalist Ming Nagel (originally from the USA), guitarist Alan Roberts, multi-instrumentalist Jamie Varley, drummer Eddie Dublin, and multi-instrumentalist Jon Read, former trumpet player for The Specials. This "extraordinary" band, as BBC's Tom Robinson has described them, is rich with atmospheric groove stories that draw equally upon intellect and emotion. "Imagine a party at Ronnie Scott’s," one fan suggests, "where Sade, Björk, Jeff Beck, and David Byrne meet Portishead and then go for a late night curry to exchange ideas…sublime”. The band's third full-length album, True Names, has just been released as a CD, 12" double gatefold vinyl, and digital recording via Bandcamp.
