Swallowtail Jig is a classic Irish jig, and it has a haunting ghostly sound to it that's only accentuated with a muted, barefinger-plucked banjo.  perfect mood music for st. patrick's day!

playing with "Angelus Novus" by Hatis Noit

***

"C'è un quadro di Klee che si chiama Angelus Novus. Vi è rappresentato un angelo che sembra in procinto di allontanarsi da qualcosa su cui ha fisso lo sguardo. I suoi occhi sono spalancati, la bocca è aperta, e le ali sono dispiegate. L'angelo della storia deve avere questo aspetto. Ha il viso rivolto al passato. Là dove davanti a noi appare una catena di avvenimenti, egli vede un'unica catastrofe, che ammassa incessantemente macerie su macerie e le scaraventa ai suoi piedi. Egli vorrebbe ben trattenersi, destare i morti e riconnettere i frantumi. Ma dal paradiso soffia una bufera, che si è impigliata nelle sue ali, ed è così forte che l'angelo non può più chiuderle. Questa bufera lo spinge inarrestabilmente nel futuro, a cui egli volge le spalle, mentre cresce verso il cielo il cumulo delle macerie davanti a lui. Ciò che noi chiamiamo il progresso, è questa bufera."

Walter Benjamin

Je ne veux plus savoir
Je veux suivre cette voix
Cette voix qui rebondit dans ma tête
Je veux voir encore et toujours un peu plus
Dans l’espoir de comprendre
Mais je m’éloigne toujours un peu plus
Je ne peux voir ce que j’entends
Je ne peux entendre ce que je vois
Mon regard s’enflamme
Dans une cascade de mots
Des mots qui se décomposent
Des images qui se dérobent
Je ne veux plus savoir
Je veux suivre cette voix

Is anyone still out there?
Well hello there if you are taking some of your valuable time to read this! As the lyrics to this (probably)final song say, its been a long while……
The last time I checked into Soundcloud was maybe last December, wow…. 
I packed up for a holiday in Hawaii, ran the Honolulu Marathon, watched a volcano erupt, cast my dog’s ashes into a lava field and drank a tropical island's worth of cocktails while watching the sunset with my wife. And then returned a few weeks later decidedly unenthused about the Cat and my collaborator.
Gina had been making noises about returning to an on again / off again musical partner. That wasn’t unexpected and was actually a bit of a relief as I hadn’t been enjoying this for a while. Our last few songs had been tortuous to finish, including this one which was finally finished I think way back in October 2022.
Cat Came Back was always a lot like an arranged marriage - nothing at all in common but we kind of made it work 3 minutes at a time. But by late last year, it had become very hard work. And as you fellow Soundclouders know, outside of personal satisfaction, the rewards for all of that hard work are not very large. So, if the personal satisfaction is gone, there’s not a lot left to motivate oneself. 
In addition to that, there were a few rather large elephants in the room regarding my collaborator that I won't go into but nevertheless constantly weighed very heavily on my mind throughout our time together and I was finding these increasingly difficult to continue to ignore for the sake of making music together.
So anyway, when I returned a perhaps brief hiatus accidentally turned into this - silence for what, 7-8 months? Haven’t picked up an instrument in all that time and they currently sit in my garage gathering dust. Took up Chess, what a rabbit hole that is! Continued running. Listening as always to a lot of old jazz. Continued seemingly never ending renovations to my house. Spent a lot of time with my lifelong friend, William Styron’s Black Dog, as a matter of fact he's here sitting right by my side now. 
So what now? I sat down a few days back and listened to a few things that were unfinished as of late last year. Maybe its time to start again. Find a new collaborator or two? Anyone know anyone who might be a match?
In the meantime I’ll dip my toe in and check out what some of my favourite Soundclouders have been up to while I was away. I'm sure I've missed out on some really great stuff.
