Daily Drops

A little quickie. I had fun testing Spitfire Originals!: Epic Strings, Epic Brass + Woodwinds and Cinematic Percussions.

Be Prepared

...in the year 2023 ;)

Another quicky made with Originals Epic Strings, Epic Brass + Woodwinds and Cinematic Percussion. Sadly there is a bug in Epic Strings which can be heard at the beginning on 2nd and 3rd bar/tact that I couldn't avoid. I hope Spitfire resolves it and then I'll upload corrected version.

A track for imaginary game set in fantasy world.

Ron Thomas: Autoharps, Drums

Production notes:
---------------------------------------------
Very early on we wanted to use autoharps on this song to create a sort of swirling backdrop, reminiscent of the harps in Indian/Bollywood soundtrack songs of the seventies.

Right away there were challenges because the song is in B flat and is not wholly diatonic to begin with, utilizing a chord built on the augmented lydian scale in the choruses. So rather than transpose the song to a more amenable key (since the chromatic bits weren't going to work no matter what key we used) we instead re-tuned the autoharp. Moving through the strings one by one we tuned them either up or down a half step where applicable to bring them into key. Where the augmented chord hit in the choruses, we excluded those notes so that the autoharp was filling the diatonic parts of the chords and omitting the accidentals. It took us several tries to get it right. In the end we arrived at a chord progression that could be strummed on the autoharp and the modified chords could be played with existing dampers.

We also tuned the lyre so that the top half of the strings included the chromatic augmented notes while the lower register of the lyre was tuned using the diatonic, so the lyre could play the melody all the way through both parts of the song.

The inspiration for this song was essentially fourfold:
--------------------------------------------------------
First, H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying necromancer Joseph Curwen (from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward") who masked his true identity in order to thwart suspicion from his fellow townsfolk. He has many secrets lurking in his underground catacombs where he performs acts of necromancy most foul, extracting the "salts" of the dead in order to raise them at will and learn the secrets of ancient eldritch deities.

Second, a poem by Rudyard Kipling titled "En-Dor" which was a warning against the rise of spiritualism and the cost of communion with the dead in the early 20th century.

Third, the biblical Saul who traveled in disguise to visit a witch at the city of Endor in order to summon Samuel from the dead and garner advice on defeating the Philistines, but who only prophesies doom for Saul. Saul dies later the next day in the battle of Gilboa.

Lastly, the story of Odysseus communing with the underworld where he enlists the help of Tiresias to have a chat with the dead and secure for himself a safe journey home.

They all seek communion with the dead for one purpose: to gain knowledge which only those who have crossed over between realms might possess. 

Lyrics:
-------------------------------------
A mask may reveal what it’s meant to conceal
From those who are standing beside us
Armor of pride, so we learn to abide
By the monsters which hide deep inside us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us
Oh, how they scratch and they bite us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us

Only to know what the professor knows

Eating black bread, wearing clothes of the dead
The soil soaked in honey around us
For fear if we failed, leave the ogre unveiled
And it’s back in the grave where they found us
Back in the grave where they found us
Freed from the ties which had bound us
Back in the grave where they found us

Only to know what the professor knows

In the catacomb vaults, we extracted the salts
From cadavers to lengthen our youth
Chanting the names at the edge of the flames
And a mirror to show us the truth
A mirror which speaks only truth
See how it seeks not to soothe
A mirror which speaks only truth

Only to know what the professor knows

In the underworld maze, in the night of no days
Concocting the plan we’re devising
Much to endure on the road to En-Dor
And to snatch from Elohim arising
To snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising

Lyrics:

My beloved children this song is for you
I just want to give a bit of my view
On what I have thought on
Lately, when I think of you..

I promised to be a role model for you
But I made mistakes
I stumbled on my way
Although I tried my best for you..

Sometimes it sure was hard to see
when I made difficult choices
which you thought was wrong
And sometimes I didn't seem strong..

Sometimes we argued and disagreed
I didn't always understand
That you could get tired
Of living with me
And my weak memory..

I could get mad for no reason at all
It wasn't fair
I was just tired
But you was never to blame..

My beloved children this song is for you
I love you so much
I am so proud
For what you have become
My beloved daughters and sons

When I need to lay my troubles down about things beyond my control, I take a stroll across the Indigo Bridge for safe passage over the Big Blue. The only toll required to crossover — temporarily letting your worries go. And, hopefully, you enjoy a songbird serenade on the trip to the other side. 💙✌️

All music, production, lyrics and vocals done by this guy....Enjoy....


Fear me now don't make a sound
Unless you're irrelevant disavow
All of the elements in you now
If you're risking your biscuit for shit get out

Get out

The more you can revel in their demise
So unsettling they deny
When you find the fear inside their eyes
When you find your tear drops they don't dry
When you can't decide if you want to die
If you want to breathe one more time
If you want to leave or you want to cry
If you want to be or just to fly

Leaves turn green seasons change 
Leave me be twisted deranged
Leave me be turn the page
From the hurt and hate to uncertain fate

You incite me I will conquer
Any thought of self awareness you just cannot ponder
Ideals bind you to be blinded by your faulted alter

Chit to chatter nothing matters
You keep trying to climb the ladder
You keep trying its getting badder
Destination that breeds disaster
Get there faster through the cheating
Leave me here just broke and bleeding
Leave me here no hope for reason
Until I'm seething from dealing treason
I can't deny its from your failures I deride
I coincide eyes open wide with suicide
While i decline the sides of your dsmissive mind
Ideals blind to a minded soul and a broken mind
I'll be aware dare to speak the seeds I sow
I don't need to care to be aware of where I go
I can see the win begin to throw my fists again
I yell like no ones listening left twisted in the wind
On a solid pile of shit

Leaves turn green seasons change 
Leave me be twisted deranged
Leave me be turn the page
From the hurt and hate to uncertain fate

Leave Me Be

A Century Of Loneliness

SitnThere

The Dog-Eared Book Of Life

It’s a common trait
But I play it close to the chest
I got a losers hand
But with it I’ll do my best

These yesterday looks
They’re now all I’ve got
That and a lottery heart
Were doomed from the start

It’s a dog-eared book
This book of life
It’s words of wisdom faded
In this book of life

It’s here and it’s now
I got it all figured out somehow
You don’t need none of those fancy things
All’s you need is what time will allow

I’ve been born to play a part
These things predetermined
Right there from the start
The lesson in service of the sermon

It’s a dog-eared book
This book of life
It’s words of wisdom faded
In this book of life

Loosing Track of Time

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

I have a mind and soul that uses music as an extension to express itself.  I'll find the right keys or chords or just catch a vibe and things happen. I mix it down into a sonic symphony for my ear drums and a visceral voyage for the soul. It might not sound like what's on the radio or anything like your favorite band but I'm not trying to. I simply do what It is I can do best. I do me. Simple. Authentic. Raw. 

My sound is a mix of rock and electronic elements. I've been influenced by many types of music and you'll hear it all blend together nicely if I'm hitting my mark proper. My production methods are a mix of Ableton, my guitar, my midi keyboard, and my mind. Basic, but enough to do some damage.

Bon Appetite  \m/
