nice atmosphere! The distorted lo pass vocals were cool to start, but got a bit dull later in the track

The sounds we might here in a futuristic robot factory. I really like the vocal filtering; and the tempo changes (they make my heart race). :)

Wow. This definitely grows in energy. Intensely fun and exciting ending, Raúl. :)

So Scare

Eyes on the prize and the latest lies …. he said
Lead us on to the bridge of highs…. he said
Milk and honey, follow the money … …he said
Giving up the ghost of the Sunday roast… … he said

Fool Britannia, selling off the waves
Fool Britannia, selling off the waves

Offering the lamb for the latest scam…he said
And it came to pass, following the ass…he said
Disciples scream as he’s selling the dream…he said
Playing the clown as the people drown…he said

Fool Britannia, selling off the waves
Fool Britannia, selling off the waves

On your side with the mockery of pride… he said
Believe in me and the land of the free… he said
Onward Faustian soldiers march… he said
In the theatre absurd, he doesn’t mean a word he said

Fool Britannia, selling off the waves
Fool Britannia, selling off the waves

C (me): guitars, voice, stuff

Selling The Dream (by C÷M )

When the moon hits your eye 
Like a big pizza pie
It's a heartburn
It's indigestion

And i still think that dickhead Paul Stanley pic is hilarious, you uptight little cunts.

Good afternoon my SC music friends. I have a really nice one to share with you today. It’s my first time collaborating with the exceptional and enigmatic ambient artist, Wodwo (https://soundcloud.com/user-364196783-552705040, https://rayrobinson.bandcamp.com/); and the results are quite captivating, iffen I do say so myself. 

If you haven’t encountered Wodwo’s ambient works yet, dim the lights… get the headphones (maybe not in that order, so you don’t trip over anything). His creations (to the workings of my mind) are soundscapes perfectly designed as launching points for me to paint my own stories into... the groundwork is laid so spaciously and evocatively. 

Pulled directly from his bio, ‘born to be mild’ sums his works up perfectly; beautiful sound sculptures that let the mind go quiet and go adventuring… for just a little while.

So without further delay, we offer you our first collaborative effort, ‘Paint Eventually Peels”. We hope you enjoy. :)

Good afternoon my SC friends. This year, I thought it might be fun to share some of the brain rebooting information I’ve discovered over the years that helped me navigate life a little easier. So if you like the idea of following along with these liner notes, you’ll want to watch this video first (about 1 minute... Selective Attention Test video: https://youtu.be/vJG698U2Mvo), before you continue reading down. It’s quite challenging to get the count right, but the results are utterly fascinating. :)

*waits patiently*

Welcome back. So, if you haven’t already seen it before, you just watched a video that brilliantly demonstrates our limited capacity as observers. I admit, I was so busy counting the passing ball… I totally missed the gorilla. Most of my family missed it as well. And according to the creators of the video, at least 50% of the audience will. That’s mind blowing.

So what does that say about our perceptions? It seems to suggest we’re not as aware as we think we are. And that is a lovely thought, because it means we don’t have to be so hard on ourselves when we misperceive things. We are literally incapable of taking it all in, and therefore we don’t always have the full picture (or even the same picture as our fellow traveller).

And that just demonstrates the limits of our mental awareness. Now consider our senses for a moment… how our hearing range is limited to a range of 20Hz to 20kHz. Think about how our vision doesn’t go below the ultraviolet or above the infrared. And I know I can’t smell things to the excellent degree my family’s pets can. 

The one that really blows my mind is that we aren’t ever physically touching anything. There is always an atomic amount of space between all objects. So when I sit down in a chair, what’s really happening is the molecular particles that collectively agreed to make up my butt are interacting with the molecular particles that collectively agreed to make up that chair; and the signals are all just electrical stimuli to my brain. I believe I can feel the smoothness of the polished woodgrain… but it isn’t a full or accurate story.

So now we have an idea of the limitations of our five senses. Add to that how we are limited to those five senses in the first place (unless some of you have physically developed sonar like a bat or have the ability to create an external multi-member neural network like fungi do underground), and you start to have a better idea just how much of the picture we are missing. 

So in a nutshell, we simply don’t have the full picture; and that can be a very liberating realization. That idea gave me the wisdom I needed to release my stranglehold on being a perfectionist… just a little bit. If I’m constantly missing things I don’t even know I’m missing, perfection isn’t even an option. I can also take these ideas out into the world with me, and realize we really don’t perceive things as similarly as we think we do. We are constantly being influenced by everything from our senses and mental awareness to cognitive dissonance and the bias of preference. We are each having different experiences, and that underlying realization is a great place to start, if change be the thing we desire. :)

So if you found this write-up interesting, you might enjoy ‘The Invisible Gorilla, And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us’ by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons. It’s a thought provoking read. 

I’ll share other inspirational books and TV shows in future song notes. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed my latest sonic adventure, ‘Develop Mental’ (especially all the little details I added in the 21kHz+ range, as well as the ‘scratch and sniff for dogs’ elements). :)

For this composition, I am using the Diminished scale.
The half-whole diminished scale is one of the most commonly used scales in jazz soloing. Its main function is to add alterations to the dominant 7 chords. This creates a great deal of tension which usually resolves when the dominant moves to the tonic chord.  I have included a PDF that explains the alterations added to a dominant 7 chord, 2 lines, that use the diminished scale, and a sheet explaining patterns within the scale.
Once you have become comfortable with the half/whole diminished scale, you can then start looking for interesting patterns within it. If we look at the notes again, we will see that there are several major triads within the scale (Please note that to be clear, enharmonic equivalents are used): C–Db–Eb–E–F#–G–A–Bb
