OK. I've reverted to unmastered file... In my opinion that what automatic mastering done was horrible... Nevertheless, you can listen to it here and form your own opinion:

No A.I. involved. Only me, keyboard, recently bought sustain pedal, free Soundpaint Piano with built-in shimmer reverb, some compression and Ozone 9 Elements on master channel set to jazz.

Little theme I've conceived on evening May 27th after watching the last episode of "The Devil's Hour". Simple melody and chords... a draft. Let's say it's a version 0.5 ;) Half improvisation, half interpretation of something that came to my head 30 minutes earlier. Lots of hesitation, a bit mistakes, two edited notes on ending of first part... and the double ending ;) I'm still human, and a bad keyboard player ;) Recorded in one take.

The Longing

The Longing (Unmastered)

Here's another track from our new album .... https://kirby-ward.bandcamp.com/album/rat-palace-sessions
The Rat Palace was our studio from when we first started seriously working together in 2016 until the landlords decided it was time for the artists to go and the tourists to come. It had been Mat's base since 2009 and hosted dozens of artists and musicians since it first started in 2006.
As the name suggests the place was run down, lacked various things like hot water, proper access and heating but it had a vibe, and the people we shared the space with all felt and helped to create it....Art was everything, day after night after day for years.
These 7 improvisations are a tiny fraction of the jams we had there, just a few highlights from 100s of jams. They are raw, unpolished and unconcerned with anything outside the moment. We rarely 'rehearsed' as such at the Rat Palace - just played.
Things come and things go - Vale Rat Palace, you were amazing.

The story behind this one is that Rob Ulysses of Archmage Band often has a reoccurring dream setting that he calls the "Macabre Coast".

We tried out a new style for this one, a darker more ambient approach with slow, heavy and steady beats and haunting synth bells.

This song is a theme song for our game in progress of the same name. We hope that you like the result when it's ready.

More versions of this track are in the works. We'll post it as an EP when those versions are finalised.

Lyrics:

Recurring dreams
Of foreshores

Galloping foam
White horses

Mercury depths
Sorcerer's

Rime, as in hoarfrost
Wizened verses

As I watch the ocean's waves breaking through,
I ponder what such ancient waters must know
Witness valuable scenes far beyond the ship’s bow
While my own vague accounts may be false when anew
For what knows the ocean, and so much of it true,
Humankind bears no proof and the ocean no woe.
Its waves disregard with an infinite flow,

Why is a thought
like the sea?

An idiosyncrasy?

Tied to the moon's
apogee?

Why is a thought so
like the sea?

Knowledge left on the sand before swept away too.
And when the ageless heart of the tide
Would listen to questions that were asked by the best
Inquiries of paradox, of life and of death
It knows not whether to heed and abide

It's a notion
It's an ocean

It's a notion
It's an ocean

[Spirit radio voice]
Because we are connected through that droplet we are able to go back to that ocean through our dreams and can connect all the information that we need and bring it back with us through our sacred dream doors.

Lyrics:
Here I am again
Heart in hand my friend
And don’t how it got this bad
And I don’t know when 
I’ll ever understand
Maybe never 
Maybe now I’ll see myself
And all that I’ve become

Is it me out there
Seeming not to care
I’ll go on with my life
But the fairy tale,
It lets me down every time
Right before my eyes,  
He keeps me warm, 
A kiss upon my cheek
He gives me love,  
He gives me honesty,  yeah

I flow with you,  
And you flow with me
We make our wars
But we make our peace
Let me flow with you,  
And you’ll flow with me
We know there’s love
Even when it’s hard to feel
But it’s so hard to feel  
so hard to feel

He gives me love 
And a kiss upon my cheek

And I flow with you 
And you flow with me
We make our wars
But we'll make our peace
Yeah I flow with you  
And you can flow with me
We know there’s love
Even when it’s hard to feel
We still believe, oh yeah

He gives me love  
he gives me honesty
He gives me love,  
He gives me everything, yes he does
He keeps me warm

From the liner notes on my CD now available on AMAZON and New World Records:
"The author of these notes has spent his life explaining radical music, and the music on this disc may be the most radical I've ever written about. Peter Thoegersen (b. 1967) is not yet a name known to the music world; not for any lack of connection to other famous musicians, but because he came to composition late, and because his artistic aims are so broad and complex that they have taken years to evolve. His aesthetic is well defined, and he is upfront about having a name for it: "Polytempic Polymicrotonal Music." That means he has musical layers simultaneously moving in different tempos, plus, even more radically, that he has different microtonal scales playing at the same time. Few composers have aimed at such fervent and heterogeneous multidimensionality. And yet, while Thoegersen's music can seem overwhelming at first, running through it is a level of charm and simplicity that belies the initial impression.

In total, these three pieces emphasize a particular side of Thoegersen's output. The image his music creates of ornately mathematical structures filled with intuitively friendly melodies maps on to the personality of the man himself: outspoken and acerbically ruthless in his musical opinions, Thoegersen is also marked by a jolly sense of humor and an inexhaustible love of cats and other animals that make him ultimately less imposing and more personable than he might seem at first. The same can be said for his music. And by going further than anyone else has gone in terms of this particularly American concept of fusing the polytempic with the polymicrotonal - extending and combining the conceptual worlds of Ives, Cowell, Nancarrow, Partch, Carter, even Frank Zappa and many others - he has created a special place for himself within American music."
