A big thank you to https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx for playing nearly all instruments, arranging and mixing, it was a  pleasure to collab.

Lines in inverted commas quote René Girard (1923 - 2015), also the title of the song points to him.

Mimetic Desire

Man is the creature
Man is the creature

„Man is the creature
Who does not know
What to desire,
And he turns to others
In order to make up his mind.“ (2)

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don’t let the blindness guide you
Even if it is full of shiny, 
Mimetic desires

Maybe there is still 
A shadow of a hope out there
Isn’t there still somewhere
A shadow of a hope ?

Let me have it, let me, let me have it
Let me have it, let me, let me have it

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don’t let the blindness guide you
Even if it is full of shiny, 
Sparkling, mimetic desires

„We desire 
What others desire
Because we imitate 
Their desires."

Maybe there is still 
A shadow of a hope out there
Isn’t there still somewhere hanging out
A shadow of a hope ?

Man is the creature…
Man is the creature…

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don't let the blindness guide you
Don’t let the darkness blind you…

Mimetic Desire (ft joerxworx)

We're going under
This is not our lucky day
My mind's asunder
Oh, let's save those thoughts away
Yeah I heard the thunder
There are still so many things to say
You disturbed our slumber
Oh, this is not your lucky day

We're going out there
We're going all the way, the wrong way
You may think it's unfair
But it was you who chose to play
And now we don't care
No, we can keep this up all day
Yeah, you better beware
'Cause this seems not you lucky day

Oh this is where you drown, you drown
It's all the same so let's, get out of town
Love will end and now, you're down, you're down
Thoughts may blend, and you, will drown, will drown

Oh this is where you drown, you drown
It's all the same so let's, get out of town
Love will end and now, you're down, you're down
Thoughts may blend, and you, will chase yourself around

Lucky Day

Choking Hazard

'While The Leaves Sing Love Songs To Me' is a Soundscape inspired by the feelings and energies received whilst strolling slowly through the forest. The sheer strength of the trees with breezes rustling through the leaves. Surrounded as if in a cacoon of changing aromas, heightening the senses and all the time hearing gentle whispers, as the trees convey their thoughts.....

Happy 2023 everyone. I hope your year is starting off positive, creative and brimming with potentiality. Mine has definitely begun on a high note, getting to collab with our dear friend Carlos Vivanco (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1, https://carlosvivanco1.bandcamp.com/). And after a full year of music lessons with this kind and generous soul, I’m finally feeling quite good about my music theory and piano skills (knowing full well, this is just me happily floating on the tip of the proverbial music theory/musical instrument iceberg). :)

This one in particular (for those of you who might be interested in the specifics) started with Carlos providing an impressively wild drum track, and a warm, rich bass track playing Ostinato in E (I wasn’t familiar with that term at first. But it means playing a singular note rhythm as a foundation for the rest of the song). From there, E Aeolian (or Natural Minor) felt like it provided the nicest fit to Carlos’s stems. I was able to play out many of the melodies you hear in this song with just a few takes, and very minor MIDI note adjustments after the fact. That is exciting beyond words.

So without further delay, I joyfully offer you my first collab of 2023 with one of the coolest folks you’ll find in this grand music community. Carlos and I hope you enjoy ‘The Nine Sentinels of Aeolis’. :)

Well, my good friend Paco dropped me a note to say he had a piece of music to which I might like to try and add something, were I so inclined.  Always a good day when that happens.

Now, I can't honestly recall the precise sequence in which the neurons fired inside my skull to yield the result we have here, but we are where we are as they say.

Don't go looking at me for rationale.

Thank you, Paco, as always my friend, for inviting me to come out to play, and for mastering the end result in the midst of untold techno-horror grief.  I hope your DAW world resolves itself very soon.

Socrates at Sundown

I lie bewildered, here, in my sphere of cubes,
On crushed silk cushions sprawled.
I sketch the cool Palladian dudes
In charcoal, on Aleutian walls.
They think I know what thoughts are theirs,
And beg to trade their graceless airs, 
But I left them there to climb their stairs
Ever downward through Athenian halls.

They say my knowledge is remiss,
The diabolical's back in town.
Seems ignorance is bliss
For this philosophical clown.
I'm seeking emptiness of mind,
That's where I hope to find
That old, old friend of mine,
Socrates, at sundown.

My associate, Plato knows the game
Survives through pretty dialogue
He suffocates but bestows his shame
On city states whose statutes fog
The heads of people in their ranks
Attentive on the Eridanos banks
Dispensing death by way of thanks
As justice shreds its cogs.

Deep mental grasp of social structure
No need to ever write it down
Accused outcast for youth's corrupture
Where the bleeding of democracy is bound
To seek the causal end of time
Of Aristotle and Nietzsche's kind
The men of Athens rendered blind
Killed that old, old friend of mine,
Socrates, at sundown.

Socrates At Sundown (with MidiSound)

This track was created to illustrate the illusion or delusion of time. Time is a man made fear mongering construct... where there's "never enough time," or time is always deemed to be "running out!" Running out for what? Chasing the illusion that doing, doing, doing to have, have, have what never seems to ever be enough for people... especially in western "colonized" society? So many chase the illusion, they don't acknowledge their levels of entitlement in "buying into" the doing to have ensures they even live until the next day, let alone into elder age, to enjoy what they were dictated they "should, could, and would have..." if only they buy into the grand delusion of making the ten percenters that own everything more material wealth. 

Western society bought into the construct "if we do to have, we can have it all, and retire into a life of luxury... where we are entitled to pay the same prices we paid earlier in our lives for things and services, and we can pay servitude only wages to our lineages pretending to be totally oblivious to the fact we are the reason they have to work multiple jobs in order to "make ends meet." The mindset of a lot of folks is... "We worked hard for what we have and we should be able to sit back and enjoy it, we've earned it, we're retired." Sadly, too many do not see they are simply blind to it being part of the grand delusion by design. The folks who "sold you" that "bill of goods" never gave a rats arse about ensuring the work environments, or the natural environments were or continued to be safe for us and our lineages. Instead we've paid taxes to government agencies who permitted and continue to permit and approve the poisoning of what was once true mother nature led health care into sanctioned only pharmaceutical drugs that freely advertise their toxicity, we feed our kids and ourselves products like cereals, juices, and candy laced with chemicals and petroleum products and cry out "WHY" in angst... despite the evidence being right in front of our faces... if we choose to see it, hear it, not mock, belittle, and bully; but instead, BE KIND to those freely speaking about these truths out of love for you and the planet. Time is running out; but not in acquiring the wealth of the world... but, in seeing how we've been causing our own ailments and painful existences and demise... by believing one should do more, have more... at any cost to others, including our own families... to be or feel superior. Time's running out to see it's all simply a huge game and we are all pawns, unless we decide to pack up the game board and refuse to play.
