Recorded whilst on charter one day when I were previously on board with Ritchies

Lyrics and guitar written and composed by Valu from Ritchies 
Remember thinking of this guy as reminding me almost of being some kind of Samoan styled and influenced singing playing funky clapton,

Awesome

Later added improvised and layered up some live drums 

Would be good if at some stage perhaps we were to meet again which realistically I could only really see happening under the same previous circumstances with what little time one who knows usually seems to get spare in this industry anyways 

Or so it would seem,

But if so, would be certainly a very welcome encounter to be able to do the same again,

But is at least good for nows to be able to put a face to this very talented mans name and also give him credit where its well and truly deservedly so due ,

At least for nows anyways ,

Great stuff ,

BR 800 SD 2 VALU / Ritchies Driver

Lyrics and guitar written played and sung by Kevin Herlehy pictured , a former decker charter driving colleague of mine from and still with Ritchies
I later edited and layered over with a couple of synth tracks as well as a live drum track
He told me at the time of recording he wrote this song after his former misses of that time basically dumped him back in the day,
Not quite sure but by the sounds of it according to the song sounds like she run to the hills
What a Classic 
In my opinion this tune turned out quite good or so I thought even though he forgot his own lyrics toward the end but still as is, 
Were still a top effort and actually were one of my personal fave's of that time and even still to this day ,
Actually caught up with this guy just recently on charter doing pretty much the same job, 
So snapped a shot of him finally to give him credit where credits due,
As now he can add to his resume actual proof , humbly of course of also being a part time Blues / Rock Star,
And make future encounters with the ladies go weak at there knees ,
And who knows maybe even throw there knickers at him at first  glance and chase him down the street ,
Then ironically he'll be running to the hills and the circle of life will be complete,

Kevin

Ends to an error and Beginning's of another
Company wise anyways not possible potential as I have found there are at least a couple whom have same like minded spare time interests
This is Ben's composition on the Guitar, 
I later hurriedly added soft synth strings and live drum track,
Should have taken a bit more time to nail down better but can always go back to for at a later stage for now

Ben is unforetunately no longer with us here at Johnstons as he has since passed on and gone to Bayes which is a bugga 
Wouldn't have minded doing a bit more with em with what time we had spare which eventuated after shifts purely but coinkadink after having finished the same time after a late shift,


BR 800 : Logic Ben 2

  I Duno , just toiling around and seem to come up with this simple melodic rhythm by mistake which I found seem to stick so just went with it
Probably edit a bit later 
Mainly just stuck it on here as a reference to myself to listen to shortly before heading off to my day job which now after listening too for a little while now feel such does hold up and has further potential 

Had initially started this demo twanging away on Pro Tools with in a gat modelling 11 rack interface preset called (Shuttle Home ) but couldn't quite remember how I imported my live drums into the mix with in this particular DAW not having used for a little while due mainly to not being the most reliablest of music software program's to work with in my experience,

 So ended up exporting or bouncing to my desktop and then importing into Logic Pro before Pro Tools potentially crashed or spat the dummy in one way or another as history would typlically have had it
As I feel a lot more comfortable interfacing with in the workings with in Logic which I have personally found to be an a lot more stable as well as user friendly software to work with which I also feel is more kind of like working with a more in depth or fully featured version of garage band which basically is what it more or less is but with a lot more potential

Had initially thought of just redoing this demo completely from scratch being mainly what seemed to be a rather messy 3 take 2 track measure of uncertainty 
Where I feel I dropped the ball in both instrumental departments but ironically at the same time with in a comprehensive scratchy kind of way feel is what also seemed to appeal to me at the same time in an almost not totally quite completely kind of imperfect way 

Which I feel I would never be able to recreate even if I tried 

For better or for worse 

 Being able to capture that specific vibe spark or moment in time of influence to memory and recollect with pin point accuracy upon revisting  

Which ironically is what seems to appeal to me the most over repetitive  analytic efforts of trying to get it perfect putting at risk the reasoning ,urge or loss of way as to why such potential even became of such influence in the first place to begin with,

As I feel personally seems to be the same with all 

                              Past, Present & Further
                        Potential Demos still yet to Inevitably Eventuate 
                                               

May look into maybe adding some bass and strings at a later stage as some one previously who knows who had logically as well as 
previously made a mention

Being going through a bit of a raw phase lately though 
Have others in the mix which realistically I should be concentrating more on getting sorted 

But is always good to test for new ground

Shuttle Home

This is Kuini's version or take of one of his homelands favorites songs recorded here at Johnstons with what time that has eventuated and allowed such moments to come to pass 
I just ended up putting down a live drum track as per usual just to help accommodate ,
This guy on the gat Humbly seems to be some kind of effortless natural and could definitely show me a thing or 2 on the gat side of things possibly in future thats for sure, 
But ultimately time will tell ,
I feel a connection to this tune and feel it contains all the wright ingredients to incorporate  that certain gel factor even although I kind of feel I or maybe even we may have kind of blown it toward the end loosing our way with in the time sig of this melody somewhat ,
But at the same time must remember that with what limited time we did have wern't really that bad for a one take track at a time wonder
This melody consisted of 2 gat tracks a bass track and a live drum track 

Samoan Siva intro

This tune I found seemed to have reminded me of some of the old songs I can kind of recollect hearing somewhat with in the pacific island church seine when I use to get dragged along by my mum to sit into something that were completely alien to me not being able to understand a single word  but at the same time felt totally humbled relaxed and absorbed by all the high octaves coming from the women and the low octaves from the men not to forget drums on old biscuit tins and chairs and tribal homeland Tokelaun tribal dances that would follow and amalgamate into a vocal symphonic festive spectical ,
And upon my next interlude with Kuini played this track back to him and explained to him how and what it reminded me of to which he confirmed were actually pretty much more or less the situation and origins of where such a melody were spawned from ,
Which in turn then left me thinking ,
Well how the bonkers did I somehow know that yet alone you recreate that vibe or uncanny recollective on the gat,
Not that I didn't realistically already know the answer to that because I did ,
As I were the one responsible at the time for my master wing it approach to on the spot mixing and recorded input levels on the BR whilst such were in the process of eventuation,
 
This tune were a 2 or maybe 3 track rhythm lead and bass gat take with a live drum track once again thrown in later just for a bit of depth or contrast all originally recorded at first into the Roland  BR 800 8 tracker 

Taute

Just basically recorded a gat tune to begin with along with a slightly rusty live drum track to accompany it as well as some shocking sounding vocal and a couple of hard synth bass and atmospheric tracks 
This is a song more or less about 3 topics

1, Our addiction to oil, Where its leading us and whats coming if we all still choose to make the inevitable still a low priority as a result,

2, Our slave cyclonic lifestyles through out the ages from which we have become accustomed into believing are an acceptable or even albeit natural part of life,

And . . .
 
3,  A little more realistic view from a common sense perspective as to how it were we actually came to be to which even today scientist still seem partially baffled by the gap as well as brain size comparative leaps of  transitions from monkey to modern day man,
Which in a controlled environment here on earth such as the rift for example as scientist seem to refer to would have just been a process of mixing and integrating various types of DNA including there superior own into literally all walks of life some time ago to which an evolution of sorts,
Our evolution in this instance would have just come down to a process of trial and error of either getting it close enough or even wright for its, or Our intended purpose ,
Hence the different stages of earlier man,
Basically just connected some dots along with a missing link to fill the gap which I have always felt for some time nows to be one of the, If not most feasible possibilities ,
Well certainly the one that seems to make most sense to me anyways,

I can somehow see this as maybe ruffling a few feathers but then I would say that being all qwackers an all,

 Speaking also of whom's original ancestors e.g., Reptiles  DNA I feel were also tampered with previously before our time which equated in an out of control experiment potentially gone south and seeing an end to Dinosaurs potentially as the end result ? 

Im not sure where Ive herd this before or maybe I haven't who knows ?
But is a little questionable food for thought never the less,

But if either a minority or majority are sane with in an insane world 
Then what does that make those who are insane ?

 Visionary's seem to spring to mind

Lyrics 
Slave Church / BR 800 / Logic Mix Song 36 SD 2

V.1 
Well thank you God for mortality
And feeling all the pain
Of all good lost souls gone away

V.2
And thank you God
For our fucked up ways
Killing to create
And rape and plunder good will traits

V.3
And thank you God
For all our hypocrisy 
We'd like to think for all we do
But do for what for such is true

V.4
And thank you God
For all our world wide wars
Play chess to kull for real
Peace keep with no intent to heal

CHORUS

Benoboe , Chimpanzee
Cosmic experiments are we
Extracted DNA
Add some of yours
Is us today

V.5
Well thank you God
For in slaving me
Incentive to pay tax
Meaning of life is certain fact

V.6
And thank you God
For sucking oil out the ground
Its not as if our home
Is gone die and overheat
 Like a car

V.7
And thank you God
For melting both the poles
Double potential to rape and plunder
More storms earthquakes volcano thunder

V.8
And thank you God
For empowering me
To feel for such is wright
Never to change defend and fight

CHORUS

Benoboe , Chimpanzee
Cosmic experiments are we
Extracted DNA
Add some of yours 
Is us today

VOCAL BRIDGE

To open ones eyes
Is to not do what we are all
Tormented to

But instead all at once
Do what we were all
Basically
Supposed to

Because we got to unite unwind and make a stand
And brush aside such order
Because to live a life to the full
Means to give a shit and understand
Only such will do for the future

Benoboe , Chimpanzee
If cosmic experiments we be
Then lets drop slaving our lives away
To create a better tomorrow today

INSTRUMENT VERSE

So why can't we all see
That until we do that we will always be
Terraforming all our lives away
To our doom for order that reigns today

Well thank you God for our Humanity

Slave Church

Influenced by a most welcome new more down to earth and realistic worth while potential opportunity in return

A lady I had been privileged to had met and found to had been a very honest, straight up, as well as lovely person over all

But ironically as a result as my next song would have it simply but best of all put never quite met such criteria 

But having said such at the time were still a phase or moment with in such a time I had found to of been quite a rather unique as well as special time to have experienced as well as recollect  

This song were consisted of 2 gat tracks a synth track and 2 vocal 1 backing and lead with a live drum track of course to help patch it all together 

First of all recorded into the BR 800 then into Logic bounced from there and then uploaded to here 

Internet Dating / BR SD 2 Song 47 

Lyrics 

Well I know Ive said too much if so 
Already
And so on when and if and so 
Im steady

But I really want for you to know
That you matter all the same to me
Even though we haven't met
Only on the internet
But not yet in reality

Chorus

Internet Dating 
x 3

And so finally you have come around
And agreed to meet
Sometime maybe through out the week
Sounds like really such a treat

So I finally choose to call you up
1st reason just to hear your voice
An 2 to arrange a time
For a place to meet and greet
Cause life just can't not get more sweet

Chorus

Internet Dating 
x 3

Kind of hesitant I feel you are
Which is really kind of nice to know
That your not one to be jumping in
With just with those types who come and go
Or a pinch of salt with any man
Whom might take you for what not you are
Even whom you may have met
Also on the internet
Choose stay by me you can forget

Chorus / End

Internet Dating 
x 3

Internet Dating

Just basically a rough around the edges take of a tune as well as song I probably could have put more effort into but at the same time kind of liked the rawness of as well 

Pretty much a summary of how things may seem to be at times  but even still at the worst of such can always be overcome in which I have pretty much expressed from previous as well as even still current experiences whom I also feel that in some similar way shape or form that others may also be able to relate to as well from there own perspectives or previous as well as even current experiences also maybe as well,

As it don't have to be all doom and gloom if one don't wish for it to be
And just how important it is Ive found for one to really step up and give such real potential a real go in future 

Starting with ones self , 
Which is Ive found to be the primary key to enhancing such motivation to begin with ,

Not meaning to stir the pot at all especially in a cliche kind of sense especially for those with more settled as well as more experienced already established or existing lifestyles 

As I only mean so in terms of being basically helpful possible advice even for those of you whom may not feel the need for such whom ironically what Im about to express is whom such is meant for possibly the most,

Which is . . . . . .

If one cannot help or yet alone love them self to begin with,

 Then how can one help or yet alone love others in return ?

Not saying that such realistically in terms of materialising ain't possible 

Just saying that the rewards by far from the get go by far exceed the phrase just mentioned above immensely and then some 

From which one also has everything to gain and nothing at all to loose  but ones doubt about such to begin with

Which is just to basically care ,love ,maintain and believe in ones self 

Which I know kind of sounds a little gay or even churchy but has nothing to do with either which ultimately just boils down to common sense 

And wait for it . , , , , 

Thats right another cliche 

Ones health being there wealth  

And that applies to all mind ,body and soul 
   
This song were consisted of just mainly 3 tracks , 1st one being a Guitar , 2nd a live drum track and 3rd an awful sounding vocal track which I may be looking to revisit or maybe even revise at a later date ,

But then again where have I herd that one liner before 

Speaking of which 

 Walking round in circles / BR SD 2 Song 50 

Lyrics

Walking round in circles
All my life
Chasing my own tail
Set myself to fail

Not knowing where to go next 
All my life
Cant see much change coming
Or potential humming

1st Chorus

Lets kick those cares aside now 
Put those headphones on
Let your body groove now
Mow that fucking lawn

Dance on to those chores now
Cause such will be alright now
Set your mind your soul to soar
Let such free to be you more

So dust off that old bike now
Bring back to life
Inflate those old tyres
Ride through the bush for hours

Get yourself back in shape now
About time
Listen to your body
Start to eat more healthy 

So jump on that guitar now
Strum for your life
Back up with some drumming
Feel effortlessly pumping

Get back into songwriting 
For your life 
Let it out all you are
And someone might just get ya

2nd Chorus 

Lets get that engine running
Cause your in need of huffing
Sweat that shit wright out 
Be all gone without a doubt

Get all back in shape and cooking
Note now all the girls back looking
No first dibs will get me all
I ll choose the best for me of all

To feel love from with in 
Is to be free from with in
To feel one from with in
To feel such from with in
Is to heal from with in
To feel love from with in
Is to live from with in
To discover from with in
Who you are from with in
To relate from with in
To be you from with in
To love me from with in
Is to love you from with in
Is to be free from with in 
To be real from with in

It just goes round in circles

1st Chorus / End

Walking Round In Circles

Just a concoction of an idea I had eventuate 
Which really were let down by my means of what it seems to be running before I can even walk

Especially from a gat perspective which is what this tune or melodies seed were spawned from which I am unfortunately unable to comprehend due to my lack of and current rusty skills toward such an awesome instrument at this time in the moment 

Which also seems to have the same domino effect on all assisting instruments trying to follow patch to together as well as cover up  for 

Live Drums inclusive 
    
This tune were consisted of 1 guitar track , 3 seperate synth tracks and a live drum track all recorded into the BR 800 then into Logic then Bounced from there and uploaded to here 


Farewell Horizon

For best audio playback results these tracks would most likely be suited for personal use via a good set of quality headphones being that this were the way most if not all the tracks were originally composed as well as produced 

To access information such as Lyrics , Inspirational Comments , as well as Feedback , or even comment your self if so,

 A Desk or Laptop format maybe required 

Otherwise similar info can be viewed also via the app Soundcloud Pulse for creators via smartphone or tablet  

Which are

All original one off ideas composed and grasped from with in mainly my own doing from initial thought to
Ultimate Reality,

With the exception of those I have previously as well as still had the privilege of meeting in my travels

Whom I have also assisted with in the production and produce of fruits conceived from there own potential as well as a collective amalgamation of eventuation in return from which has also

 Ultimately Resulted

Whom in terms to justify as well as give true as well as fair credit to have personally named whom posses and also share like minded interests in common,
Past ,Present and still yet to Eventuate

PS 
Some of these demos may require attention to equalization levels as well as volume increases and decreases due mainly to my previous as well as still wing it mixing and mastering abilities approach to which I hope to be getting a little more fine tuned with and over time,

Contained also with in these tracks upon clicking on the icon portrait besides each track to the left is info in general under( show more )on how mainly such came to  light originally in which upon reflection is actually starting to look more that of a personal public dairy ,

Which Im all good with to which in return I would hope possibly helps anyone else out there maybe tinkering or dabbling around with there own creative possible potential projects themselves 

To which I might add, 
 if one may so be in the market maybe for some thoughts maybe about investing in some musical gear to compliment your existing set up,

Then Id highly recommend the BOSS BR 800 digital 8 track recorder
which as a result is mainly the device or tool of preference responsible for a lot if not most the demos on here that have ultimately eventuated ,

Even by having other more sophisticated or refined ways or means of which to record have usually always found it to be an incredibly convenient as well as practical portable means of on the go to moments notice of choice 

Which can be set up and put away all with in 5 to ten minutes which is what I have tend to have done quite often in the past only really concentrating on the newly creatively captured core based melody recollective recorded into just one track,
And then coming back to later to see if it still holds water and refining as well as improving and improvising more at a later stage if so 
 
The BR can also be utilized as an audio interface into a DAW perhaps at a later stage too which I also use for both ,

So is a good present as well as future proof means of investment and one I am sure to see anyone likeminded getting there monies worth 

But thats just my opinion going from what Ive found, 

Also another thing Ive tend to have done with only a couple of minutes to spare in some cases is simply record a basic sketch of an idea, warts and all on me phone with the use of an app which I think is meant to be used as a dictaphone which does the trick well ,then come back to practice and refine when more time permits , 

And then take it on again from there if such still seems to still show potential , 

Either into the BR - DAW or both which is what I tend to do for implementing live audio, as well as hard and soft synth instruments
