Reminds me of some 70s bands in a really good way. Love the bassline!! and vocals are top.

Once again an incredible and memorable high quality song and performance!! And the synth work and drums are so amazing!

Great song, sound, vibe and performances!

Cool track, love the synths, reminds me of the monkey magic theme tune for some reason!

80s styling , but with a modern feel . great performance all round , superb ! Do you know any really good Sax players ?

Great vocals , great guitar , just great !

If there was a cycle in which gravity changed, just as there was a change in temperature in a year ...

Slight Weightlessness

Hello dear friends. It's been a long while. We've all been through hell some way or other and I wish you love joy and strength.
It was great having Brian visit us in Durban this past month (the old boy's leaving on Friday). Well while he was here I got him to do some backing vocals. And he was a big help with the mixing as well. Thanks Brian!

Legerdemain - words and music Johnny Minstrel 

Bring out your entertainers
the jugglers and the clowns
We’re in the belly of the beast
as the world shuts down
All is smoke and mirrors
I hear someone say
Living the illusion
till Judgement Day 

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

He’s gonna blow your mind
Mo Magic’s back in town
There’s always something kinder
Whenever he’s around
Today is like tomorrow
Uncertain and unclear
Spill your drink of sorrows
God knows that’s too much beer

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Well there’s nobody here
Anymore than somebody there
Guess I’ll meet you in the ether
On some dodgy cable line
And if you see me turn the corner
Wave a hello or goodbye
Who knows where I’ll be going
And who I’ll be next time
Who I’ll be next time 

Bring out your entertainers
All the world’s a stage
Just looks a little smaller
In this virtual cage
So, throw in a coin dear missus
I promise you a thrill
Not stealing from the masses
Or teaching how to kill

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

ひとり刹那 / beauty in sadness
========================

風のささやく声が　通りすぎて　今

夏を連れていった
想い出に変えていった

ひとり刹那の　波に揺られ

いいことばかりじゃない
わるいことだけでもない


たたずむ　今日もあれ　見えない距離
やがてこの地上も　雪の音を　聴く


風のささやく声が　通りすぎて　今

夏を連れていった
想い出に変えていった

ひとり　音無し　路に置かれ

今年も　また　ひとつ
歳は　離れ



祈る言葉さえ　どこ吹く風
やがてこの地上も　雪の音だけ　聴く


風のささやく声が　通りすぎて　今

夏を連れていった
想い出に変えていった


ひとり刹那の　波に揺られ

いいことばかりじゃない
わるいことだけでもない

ひとり刹那 / beauty in sadness

A trip into a forest to sight an elusive tiger. Enthusiastic calls, tension, a roar, release...and home again!

Lots of pianos, guitars, basses, synths, percussion...Had so much fun with this one...I hope you do too! :)

Tiger in the Forest

Might need to turn it up a little:)

I know… if I look away
I’m better off to see…
Time in a different way
And how it should be…
The minutes move so slowly
And sow their seeds…
Morning takes away the darkness
Eventually…

And if…I don’t miss the chance
To take it all in inside
Before walls come crumbling down
And we run and hide…
The hours show so little mercy 
Don’t you see
That we’re given what we need
Eventually…

The hours show so little mercy 
Don’t you see
That we’re given what we need
Eventually…

Eventually

Atlanta’s “Bog Witch” and Boise’s “Mystic Tape Deck” announce the release of a new collaborative single, “Dogs of Chernobyl” to mark the anniversary of the Chernobyl Disaster.

Following the April 26, 1986 nuclear accident, the City of Pripyat was evacuated. The residents were forced to leave their pets (including domestic dogs) behind.  

Nearly 40 years after the accident, the descendants of these dogs are still living in the Exclusion Zone and a study is currently taking place. 

Scientists are sampling the DNA of the dogs. Apparently, their DNA is irregular in some interesting ways.

Wendy writes “I couldn’t sleep one night and picked-up my phone to surf when I noticed an article about the radioactive dogs of Chernobyl.  Right away it seemed like a song.”  

Wendy invited Mystic Tape Deck to collaborate with her in creating the sonic pallet for this song, the proceeds from all sales of which will be donated to the Clean Futures Fund. 

The Clean Futures Fund relies upon donations to provide medical supplies, vaccines, and food for the dogs living in the Exclusion Zone.  

Donate $1 or more to the Clean Futures Fund via Bandcamp and receive a download of the single: https://mystictapedeck.bandcamp.com/track/dogs-of-chernobyl

Anthropomorphic Expressions – The Rocks Sing
May 2023
Duration: 3:00
Photo by Bruce Klepper 
Listen to the Anthropomorphic Expressions Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/anthropomorphic-expressions
Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the rocks sound library used to compose this piece.

Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, or emotions to non-human entities or objects. It is considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology. Anthropomorphism is a common way humans perceive and interact with the world around them.

The Earth is made of rock, from the tallest mountains to the floor of the deepest ocean. Thousands of different types of rocks and minerals have been found on Earth. Most rocks at the Earth's surface are formed from only eight elements (oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium), but these elements are combined in a number of ways to make rocks that are very different.  Rocks are continually changing. Wind and water wear them down and carry bits of rock away; the tiny particles accumulate in a lake or ocean and harden into rock again. The oldest rock that has ever been found is more than 3.9 billion years old.

Humanity has made use of rocks since the earliest humans. This early period, called the Stone Age, saw the development of many stone tools. Stone was then used as a major component in the construction of buildings and early infrastructure. 

Rocks are commonly divided into three major classes according to the processes that resulted in their formation. These classes are (1) igneous rocks, which have solidified from molten material called magma; (2) sedimentary rocks, those consisting of fragments derived from preexisting rocks or of materials precipitated from solutions; and (3) metamorphic rocks, which have been derived from either igneous or sedimentary rocks under conditions that caused changes in mineralogical composition, texture, and internal structure.

LOOK WITHIN:

If hearts were made of steel
We’d forge them to the shapes we wished
If eyes were X-rays
We’d see the pitfalls at our feet

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control!

If tongues were silver white  
All our words would come out right
If ears were angels wings
We’d only hear the best of things

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
All we ever can control…….. 

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow

If spines were carved of oak
Their strength would serve to make us bold
If feet were light as air
We’d rise above all things unfair….

Inhale and sense the scent of danger
All these things combine to make us
Is anything as intriguing
When we can touch it’s mystery..?

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control! 

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow...
The rest will follow...
