Project description:
I was curious how a collaboration could sound if the collaborators were anonymous during the process. I wanted the collaboration to be created in a straight (linear) path...passed on from one anonymous member to the next..  not mixed, re-mixed and layered over, as most collaborations are made.
I created a guideline invitation...and it went like this:
As the concept and project coordinator, I will tie a collaboration track in one linear path starting with my 25- 35 sec. secret/anonymous untitled instrumental. I will pass that secret track to another person (only)in the project  who's style  I think will be an interesting following my track. That next person will create a 25-35 sec. untitled instrumental which they think might sound interesting as a follow through to  the secret/anonymous track they received from me. When completed, that person will send their newly created (un posted) 25-35 sec. untitled instrumental to me only as a private un-posted track.  When received, I will send that anonymous segment(only) to another member who's style I think will sound as an interesting follow-through right after that track....this process continues until complete. During the secret process the only part of the project you will hear is the one anonymous track sent to you.  Your sound and the track order of this Linear Collaboration will not be changed during and after the project is complete. When the project is complete and posted, you will be credited as the sole writer and producer of your contribution. 
That is when all the anonymous members of this Linear Collaboration will finally be revealed to one another!
Enjoy the process and your creative individuality!

Linear Collaboration 1   (a Multiple Collaborator Chain In One Track! )

Written and recorded 15/16th August 2020

My first post-lockdown 'one-weekend' song...

The lyric is based on my experience of visiting the Fushimi Inari shrine in Kyoto in 2018, a magical day that I will never forget.

Lyrics:
At the foot of the mountain
I contemplate the journey I'll make
To be enlightened
To be enlightened

I never doubted
That this would be the fate that I'd face
Gateway to Heaven
Now and forever

At the foot of the mountain
I find I'm in a dream-like state
Tranquil and silent
Into the silence

Foot Of The Mountain

SOUP OF THISTLES 

Returning and turning in the widening gyre 
The falconer holds out a golden ring from the tower 
Captive and burning and full of desire 
The falcon pulls feathers from her wings to count the hours

And so
Ad infinitum 
Is the crow 
Compelled to steal
And so
Ad infinitum 
Are we drawn 
Into the wheel
Into the wheel

Turning and burning in the heat, of hearth and fire 
The feathers, the letters, the fingers form a winged spire
There’s flapping and scurrying aloft up in the rafters 
Where the bats are left to read and the finger moves on higher

And so
Ad infinitum 
We forget 
Why we were singing
And so
Ad infinitum 
The choir cannot lift the ceiling
The spinning wedding ceiling
Stealing
And so
We go

Around and around  and do it over again! 
Ad infinitum
Around and around  and do it over again! 
Ad infinitum

Returning and turning in the widening gyre 
Unseen by the hawk was Icarus flying higher
Why do we love when we know it’s trespassing
A puppet heart managed by the clock – foolish arms flailing

And so
Ad infinitum 
We watch for 
Six jet planes’ trails
And so
We prepare  our soup of thistles
And we settle down to feather 
And we wonder about the weather
Listen for the 
Falcons' bells together and
Cover our eyes with leather
Oh Icarus dear boy
Waxed and waned
Ah Amelia dear heart
Tarred and feathered...

I'm told I think outside of the box. It's hard to think why I'd be inside one in the first place.  A FREE DOWNLOAD of some of my tracks:
