Well, my good friend Paco dropped me a note to say he had a piece of music to which I might like to try and add something, were I so inclined.  Always a good day when that happens.

Now, I can't honestly recall the precise sequence in which the neurons fired inside my skull to yield the result we have here, but we are where we are as they say.

Don't go looking at me for rationale.

Thank you, Paco, as always my friend, for inviting me to come out to play, and for mastering the end result in the midst of untold techno-horror grief.  I hope your DAW world resolves itself very soon.

Socrates at Sundown

I lie bewildered, here, in my sphere of cubes,
On crushed silk cushions sprawled.
I sketch the cool Palladian dudes
In charcoal, on Aleutian walls.
They think I know what thoughts are theirs,
And beg to trade their graceless airs, 
But I left them there to climb their stairs
Ever downward through Athenian halls.

They say my knowledge is remiss,
The diabolical's back in town.
Seems ignorance is bliss
For this philosophical clown.
I'm seeking emptiness of mind,
That's where I hope to find
That old, old friend of mine,
Socrates, at sundown.

My associate, Plato knows the game
Survives through pretty dialogue
He suffocates but bestows his shame
On city states whose statutes fog
The heads of people in their ranks
Attentive on the Eridanos banks
Dispensing death by way of thanks
As justice shreds its cogs.

Deep mental grasp of social structure
No need to ever write it down
Accused outcast for youth's corrupture
Where the bleeding of democracy is bound
To seek the causal end of time
Of Aristotle and Nietzsche's kind
The men of Athens rendered blind
Killed that old, old friend of mine,
Socrates, at sundown.

A recent collection of work that's been an enlightening yet strange journey over the past couple of months. Are we antennas picking up and channeling something outside of our own lines? Or, are we just restless and mad people banging on things to fill up the spaces, or both?

MIX/MASTER: WOODS STUDIO

Here again
How long’s it been
Since I was down this way
It’s gone upscale now
Yet somehow
I liked it more in our day

The diner’s gone
Cleaners moved on
Burnt coffee's sold on every block
I had a spare key
But now I can’t see
On which door I would knock

Oo oo oo oo oo
That was our rendezvous
A studio in an older building
Barely room for two
In our rendezvous

Home from work
Quick change of shirt
Heard your message on my machine
I could shower there
You didn’t seem to care
It was no sentimental scene

Oo oo oo oo oo
There at our rendezvous
The world wouldn't know we’d gone missing
For an hour or two
In our rendezvous

That last day
Little to say
I returned the spare key
Thought I’d never be back here
But I would learn there’s
No escape from memory
For me

Oo oo oo oo oo
Leaving our rendezvous
I wonder if you ever walked this street
Trying to bring in view
Our rendezvous

Our Rendezvous

For my mother. When she studied physics, she was the only woman in the amphitheatre

Scutum constellation lies in the southern sky. Its name means “the shield” in Latin. It is the fifth smallest constellation in the sky.

The constellation was originally introduced by the Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius in the 17th century. Hevelius named it Scutum Sobiescianum, Shield of Sobieski, in honour of the Polish King Jan III Sobieski, who had been victorious in the Battle of Vienna in 1683. Hevelius created the constellation a year later to commemorate the event, and the name was eventually simplified to Scutum.
