Brick bashing on a manual typewriter,
Teeth smashing against plastic keys and iron bars,
Finger twiddling in mechanical dabbling;
Churning out nonsense words as if to startle the echoes of eternity.
Clatter-clack creative combat against an antiquated apparatus
Croaking hopeless haiku of glorious gobbledygook.
Tapping into typos and terrorist tapestry too far away for the beholder to see.
A cacophony of cackling, a maddening menagerie of hallucogenic hieroglyphics.
Unstoppable torrential word-scapes that clamber for mental freedom as if to break out from between each keystroke and every line. The monkey’s meal is ever-changing; leftovers from Lord Babbage's billion-billion blunders in search for terrestrial truths!
Muttering and murmuring away until the ribbon runs dry - the symphony of silliness strikes a soulful pose wearing a self-ironic smirk. Glorious gestures gesticulating towards a timeless tenor that transcends all bounds, an ephemeral eternity one could never dream of exploring. The rabbit hole awaits, where ludic insanity loiters in blind ignorance - but not before one speaks in tongues!

Bricks bellow on the battered typewriter,
Teeth tango with the tenuous touch of fickle keys and iron entrapments,
Digits dance in a mesmerized muddle;
Conceiving nonsensical nothings, startling the eternal abyss.

Clatter-clack, clatter-clack, a chaotic confrontation with the archaic contraption
Crooning despondent haikus, resplendent in mesmerizing gibberish,
Tapping timidly, tumultuously into typos and terror-stricken tapestries, so elusive, merely a haze in the observer's gaze.
A symphony of sinister sound, a cacophony of crippling cackles.

Madcap murals, phantasmagoric pictographs,
Unrestrained, unyielding landscapes of lexicon clamor for cerebral emancipation, seeking refuge within each staccato tap and tenuous line.
The simian sustenance shifts like sands; remnants of Lord Babbage's boundless blunders seeking truths corporeal and cosmic.

Whispers, whimpers, words wander, lost until the ribbon runs despicable and drained. The cackling crescendo cradles a knowing, derisory grin.
Gargantuan gesticulations gesturing towards the interminable timbre, transcending boundaries, immortal, infinite - realms yet to be ventured.
The chimerical chasm beckons, wherein ludic lunacy lurks, sightless and unaware - only then, the tongue shall speak, unraveling the unspeakable.

Welcome again to the juke-joint of my mind.  This is an improv based on a theme that I've been playing for a bit.  It is impromptu and my ideas sometimes exceed my chops; accordingly, as rough and spontaneous as a juke-joint Saturday night.

One of my all times piano favs is a Chicago blues immortal - Jimmy Yancey.  Godfather of the boogie-woogie form, although generally slower and "melodic" - at least to me.  Additionally, he had the sweetest, most-tender, knowing eyes this side of Albert Einstein.  As the piece developed I realized this was a tribute to Yancey - no way I could copy him -even if I wanted to - but his presence presided over the recording.

SoundHealing Tubalophone Leonardo  - Olibrason

I made this song live in 2018 by recording a couple of tracks on the loopstation with guitar, reverb, and delay. shame not to be able to divide the tracks for a more accurate editing. but I am still very satisfied with the final result.

Less Concepts

A recent astronomical event was, quite obviously, at the root of this odd musical piece. I accidentally came across a few posts on the social networks conveying a certain degree of confidence in this astrological occurrence, but I honestly couldn't afford to share their flaunted optimism. I couldn't recall any idyllic connection between Jupiter and Saturn, so I thought that a recording of an acapella singing performed by my wife about 10 years ago might have best fit my initial sonic atmosphere. It was an improvised sung rendition of an Arabic poem composed by Said Bin Ahmad al-Busaidi (d. 1803, feel free to check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Said_bin_Ahmad for a short bio) that seems to have been used as lyrics by several modern Middle Eastern artists. I thought of it as a suitable fictional outlet for a broken hearted Saturn.
On the other hand, my everyday life subsequently offered me a chance to observe this "great" conjunction from a socio-political perspective in the country where I'm living in. I had the opportunity to take a field audio recording of a riot that took place not so far from my home in mid-January (feel free to check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dI90RFsEF4 for a short account of the current situation), and I thought that it would perfectly give expression both to the disappointment of local people against those who have been managing political power since the so-called Arab Spring in 2011 and to the sympathetic, balanced reaction shown by law enforcement and the government itself. In order to sound politically correct, I thought it was appropriate to give voice to the establishment as well, to "Jupiter" if you like, so I googled around and found an awesome video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpJVq78A4Y0) starring the guy who's been behind the scenes of this brilliant democratic experience in Northern Africa during the last 10 years. I extrapolated a few audio samples from his declarations and used them in the first sequence of this piece.
I finally added a few instrumental and vocal parts, then I processed all of the audio recordings through a heavy, meticulous sound design work. Hope you'll appreciate the result.
EDIT: One year after its original release, I created a video for this track… You might like to check it out at https://youtu.be/0c9fyvCDqiU

LYRICS (a partial rework of Said Bin Ahmad al-Busaidi's "Ya Man Hawah" ; sadly this text field doesn't seem to properly support RTL scripts, but I guess most of the listeners will only read the English translation I provided below):

JUPITER:

We try to avoid any sort of exclusion.
We opt for the dialogue... Consensus.
We faced many problems.
All our policies are based on the notion of consensus.
I don't deal with "if", I deal with reality.
We try to go to the consensus.
There isn't any paradox.
To avoid any sort of extremism, democracy is the solution.
We need international cooperation, regime cooperation, development, democracy, dialogue, consensus... Consensus.

SATURN:

يا من هواه
أعزه وأذلنـــي
كيف السبيل إلى وصالـــــك دلني
أنت الذي حلفتني
حلفتني وحلفت لي
وحلفت أنك لا تخون وخنتني
فلأدعين عليك في غسق الدجى
يـبـلـيـك ربي كـمــا أبلـيـتـنــي

Oh you who love
Oh you who passionately love
May you be cherished and may I be humbled
Show me how shall I ever find the way to get back to you
It was you who made me swear, and you swore to me
You swore you weren't going to betray me, but you cheated on me
So I'll pray against you in the dark of the night
May the Lord afflict you just like you afflicted me
