A brief encounter

A collaboration a long time in waiting. My friend embedded my words deep within his rich reality long, long ago. Now it has made it here.

With the utmost appreciation for taking my words to the music you enveloped them in, I thank you my dear friend.

Find him here and you are sure to stay a while.

First of all, I want to thank the wonderful SinTaMental (https://soundcloud.com/sintamental), who kindly  recorded the words 23 October 2015 (and made some corrections on the way).

Basic recording (bassguitar and sampler) was done somewhere in 2004, overdubs (guitar, synthesizer)were done 20 October 2015. Words were written on 30 July 2015.

Photograph by my brother  Oscar. I'd like to dedicate this song to him.

The sun was hot  blazing in a blue autumn sky
We strolled the green hills and fields 
Without a care in the world
Like we did in younger days that were full of promise
Days that never seemed to end
We caught the colours of the falling leaves
Thinking this might go on forever
Thinking life might go on forever

Under shadows of trees
The river was so cool and inviting
its water clear and full of strength 
Running forever and ever
We saw flights of birds
And smelled the sweet scents of decay
But we didn’t catch the colours of the fallen leaves
imagining this might go on forever
imagining life might go on forever

The Tear, a song written by one of Sound Cloud's very own, Behold The Sludge(BTS).  BTS is an incredibly talented individual.  When not knee deep in projects you can typically find me obsessing about his works and making a mess of his comment section.    

I approached BTS about re-mixing The Tear and he graciously opened up the doors and let me walk in and make a mess of everything.  I am deeply honored to have gotten an opportunity to play on and re-imagine The Tear.

I can't thank you enough BTS for opening your art up to me.  I would encourage all my fellow Sound Cloud brothers and sisters to stop by BTS's profile and check out his other works.  A word of warning BTS and Prought Thocess teamed up for a viral number call "After Doomsday"  click at your own risk,  that track is so infectious that spouses everywhere are taking notice!!!!

Anexa (https://soundcloud.com/annnnushka) came with the idea of adding vocals to an existing instrumental, "De lange leegte" (https://soundcloud.com/quarkstrangesscharm/de-lange-leegte)... I think you'll agree that she did a wonderful job! For words she chose a poem by Russian poetess Anna Akhmatova, again an excellent choice!

Anexa is a great pleasure to work with, please check her out!https://soundcloud.com/annnnushka.

words: Anna Akhmatova

"I’ve ceased to smile long ago …" 

I’ve ceased to smile long ago,
The bitter winds now chill my lips,
Another hope was just let go,
Another song was added since.

Against my will, I’ll cede this song
To people’s laughter and offense,
Because love’s silence for the soul
Is too unbearably immense.

I've ceased to smile long ago- Anexa with quarkstrangenesscharm

A salute to you Sound Cloud artists who aren't afraid to say something with a song.  You have ruined my ability to enjoy commercial radio and I thank you for that... keep writing, singing, yelling and rocking.  

Lyrics included below

Lyrics:

Verse:
Another dreary day
In this life of mine
Obscuring the details
And the truth's so hard to find

Looking for a way
To escape the haze
But these fuckers have locked me up
Inside the maze

Chorus:
An I'm a sludge whore, yes its true
Simply opened up my mind, to a different point of view

And now I'm coming, for you and you and you
Revolutions under way, it's time to choose

Verse:
Henry Rollins - and let them be stuck with their Nicklebacks and the Rascal Flats, fuck, you can have em and the poor kids that get suckered into that musical miasma.  I tried to help...we played really loud....you could've listened. 

Man how they dance
Ohh and how they sing
And prance around up on the stage
But don't say a god damn thing

Chorus:
An I'm a sludge whore, yes its true
Opened up my mind, for a different point of view

And now I'm coming, for you and you and you
Revolution under way, it's time to choose


Verse:
Steve Albini - as a consumer of music, as a fan...when a band is thrust at me in this fashion and wiggled in front of me like a severed head...then...it makes... makes me hate them.  

Enlightenment for sale
If you can pay the fare
And if you can't they burn it down
Without a care

Chorus:
And I'm a sludge whore, yes its true
Simply opened up my mind, to a different point of view

And now I'm coming, for you and you and you
A revolutions under way, it's time to choose

How the night came (@howthenightcame) came up with the idea of making an album on Roman mythology (Ovid's great book Metamorphoses) and invited other artists to participate in the project. 
The results are very nice I think: 21 tracks based on his favourite stories, while collaborating with lovely artists like Hypoid (@hypoidsound, www.youtube.com/channel/UCc_iQ5JFusPt9EIwKIZ5rew) and Daniel Diaz (dedeland.com, @daniel-diaz) amongst others.

“Ovid stares at The Black Sea (Niobes return)” was the track I was asked to collaborate on. The story is about a woman who turns to stone: (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niobe)
The basic tracks and final mix are How the night came’s. Thanks Martin, for your confidence and all your work!

Here you can listen to (or download) The Ovid album: howthenightcame.bandcamp.com/album/metamorphoses with an accompanying PDF which gives you some information about the project.
