Most interesting and unique, great idea & execution, y'all!

In some cases, like the Mandelbrot set, you're listening to this song. I think that's because everyone's personalities are still great.

So many amazing moments in this...how wonderful to hear them all again...and massive congrats to all involved...especially to Rick for dreaming up the idea and giving it life.

NEXUS: THE ROBOTS

say it !!!!

Having a bit of fun on my take on traditional blues.
Playing guitar, bass and harmonica. Hammond sound and drums played/created with midi keyboard through Studio One daw.

My friends they all say, I’ve got to pay my dues.
I’ll never be no guitar man , till I’ve played the blues
They say rock is fine and it can get you by
But you gotta dig deep inside for those words that make you cry
And then and only then, can you call your self a real blues man.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got me a pen and paper to write down what I’d say
Picked up my guitar and thought I’d play in the key of A
But I just drew a blank, and the words just wouldn’t come.
Maybe the mood just wasn’t right, so had me a shot of rum.
That was a big mistake,  now I can’t even play my guitar.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

I’m thinking maybe, I may of had it easy.
Nothing too troublesome, and nothing to drive me crazy
Life has been pretty good, really can’t complain.
So many have had it bad and can tell you all about the about pain.
Take a look around you and you’ll see you’ve had it pretty good.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got my rhythm down but I have no words to sing
Seems you got to pay the price, for the blues to be your thing
Lose your girl, lose you job and maybe even lose your mind.
Words will start to flow, when you’re down and out you’ll find
And then and only then, you start to sing the blues.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

I WAS SURE
I put my hand in the fire
I put my hand in the fire a long time ago

All the pieces of the board
they’re lost on me
I know they were there before…

I put my hand in the fire

They’re lost on me
the pieces on the board
they’re no more….

They were there before

And I’m still burnin

where did the pieces go?
they were there before….

And I’m still burnin

Queen was looking on you….
… King likes to shiver we know, we know, we know

they were there before…sure I was sure
they were there before

sure i was sure
those pieces on the board

pawns under your toes
all the silence and hopes

and i’m still burnin
psssst…. and i’m still burnin

oh right away! its nothing I could capture!
yeah you try and then so… where did the pieces go?
they were there before
sure, i was sure….

on the board
on the board
all aboard
if you wanna disappear
if you wanna disappear
if you wanna
disappear
come on aboard!
cause i seen those pieces disappear
on the board
on the board
on the board!

sure i was sure

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!

Sounds Divine, Stars In Heaven (Amanda / numbers in the dream)

When my ship comes in        A. D. A. E

When my ship comes in
I’m going to buy you a diamond ring
So dear and clear
Like a sparkle from your eyes

When my ship comes in
I’m going to buy you a convertible 
With a white rag top
To let the wind deep inside

And when you drive downtown 
And you come to a stop
Wave to the boys 
As you put up the top 
When my ship comes in 
You’ll never want again 

Cause when my ship comes in 
I’m going to buy you everything 
When my ship comes in 
I’m going to buy you everything 

When my ship comes in 
I’m going to buy you a great big house
With a rooftop pool
Swimming in stars every night

When my ship comes in 
I’m going to buy you a convertible 
With a white ragtop
To let the sun deep inside 

And when we drive downtown 
And we come to a stop 
C’mon gimmie a kiss
Before we put up the top
When my ship comes in 
You’ll never want again

Cause when my ship comes in 
I’m going to buy you everything 
When my ship comes in
I’m going to buy you everything

when my ship comes in

Many thanks to Monkey Blood Lowdown, third world renowned multi-instrumentalist, board certified licensed ninja, expert nerf dart marksman, and retired Kawasaki mechanic(https://soundcloud.com/monkeybloodlowdown?ref=clipboard). This is his tune, and he plays the drums and organ. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to add the rhythm and lead guitars to this rendition. You should check out his original (https://soundcloud.com/monkeybloodlowdown/long-phase-1?ref=clipboard), which I favor over this rendition; I won't pretend to have improved it. I would be much obliged if you gave that one a spin. 

Also check out the work Monkey Blood Lowdown does with this oddball groove band, one of my favorite bands: https://soundcloud.com/user-291890055?ref=clipboard
