We all got them, some just can’t be seen……………cheers for having a listen


A constant reminder
A memory from afar
Now etched in time
My permanent scars

There’s another side to me
That you don’t really know
But if you look real hard
There’s a story to be told

And if it’s not what you wanna see
You can look away
They’re always gonna be there
My scars are here to stay

They been years in the making
Star of their own show
I can’t ask them to leave
Like me they got nowhere to go

A constant reminder
A memory from afar
Now etched in time
My permanent scars

My Scars

Relaxing song with sweet clarinet solo.

Sweet dreams, collected relaxing music

sweet dreams

--English translation after the French text--
Écoute le vent qui emporte le bruit du port et des bateaux
Il murmure des secrets des histoires et des mots nouveaux
Ombres du passé, un  rêve d’avenir, le cœur qui balance peur (et) désir  
La mer agitée, l’écume grise, comme  destin à saisir
 
Les vagues  emporteront  les larmes, les larmes passées
Restent à quai  toutes celles qu’on n’ a pas encore versées
Écoute le vent qui rapporte au loin le cri des cormorans
Plainte stridente dans le silence  des flots mourants de l'océan 

Marins éternels, maudits par la vie, nous traînons nos  chaînes, asservis
Prisonniers d'un cycle sans fin, âmes errantes cherchent sa vie  
Écoute le vent il nous dit qu’il faudra partir	 
Que not’ temps est compté, naufragés  de nos désirs	 

Machine translation:
Listen to the wind that carries the noise of the port and the boats
It whispers secrets, stories and new words
Shadows of the past, a dream of the future, the heart that swings fear (and) desire
The rough sea, the gray foam, like a destiny to seize

The waves will carry away the tears, the past tears
All those that have not yet been shed remain at the quay
Listen to the wind that brings back the cry of the cormorants from afar
Shrill complaint in the silence of the dying waves of the ocean

Eternal sailors, cursed by life, we drag our chains, enslaved
Prisoners of an endless cycle, wandering souls seek their life
Listen to the wind it tells us that we will have to leave
That our time is numbered, shipwrecked of our desires

Blue September

There are many versions and different traditions of the story of the Magi and about their journey. And about their origin. Pictured on the cover is a drawing found in the 'Catalan Atlas,' a map of the world dated to the late 14th century. Pictured here are the three kings. The caption reads: “This province is called Tarshish, from which came the Three Wise Kings, and they came to Bethlehem in Judaea with their gifts and worshipped Jesus Christ, and they are entombed in the city of Cologne two days journey from Bruges.”
But where was the city (or the country) called Tarshish (Tarsis, Tharsis), whose king was already mentioned in Psalm 72?
No one, exactly, knows.

----

I recorded the guitar part in 2018, when bought a Guild (my Washburn had become mute ...), so the track has a lot of noise and imperfections. Then there were several attempts to organize the piece and arrange it. This could be the last one. It came rather long and slow. But long and slow was also that improbable (and hardly true) journey - perhaps one could imagine it by closing the eyes and listening to the music.

Angelica Archangelica

When I'm free from all emotion
Let go of all devotion
Keep my corpse, so I know I'm chosen
Leave me be until I am frozen

I'd let you cut me open
I'd let you peel my skin
Replace what was broken
See what lies within

You can pull out my eyes
And replace them with glass
Or maybe 2 crystal balls
Gaze right into my past

I'd let you cut me open
I'd let you peel my skin
Replace what was broken
See what lies within

Let's take a look in here, inside my head
Spider webs and dust blowing everywhere
Oh, wait! Something there moved, an original thought?
Or rats scrounging for a crumb of food

Jets passing overhead, cut across the blue sky
Then scream away

Poets dream of being read to sounds of music
Clowns dance alone in the privacy of home
Yellow tape cut down, some people gather around
Webs and dust blow on their bones

And then, what do you know, I remembered something important
Then it slipped away

Title: Circus Deep/ Artist: Accident Machine & Natasha Kitty Katt/ Label: Ramrock Red Records (RRR073)/ Rel. date: March 3rd, 2025. North Street West remixes – March 14th, 2025
Ramrock Red Records are thrilled to present the brand new collab between Edinburgh’s finest, Accident Machine (George T & Mairi ‘b’ Pots) and the marvellous Ms Natasha Kitty Katt. Their ‘Circus Deep’ EP delivers darkness, shadows in corners and unsettling voices. 
George T says, “Not sure which of us said ‘circus’ first but after meeting Mairi's pal, Natasha Kitty Katt, at a Joseph Malik vocal session, it was clear a wee collaboration was in order. Two weeks later and Mairi, Natasha and I are channelling late 19th century clowns, fortune tellers, creepy ring masters and all manner of spooky goings on into mono synths, drum machines, tuned percussion and spoken word. A spontaneous narrative that begins by pleading with the listener not to run away eventually concludes the opposite. See the world, join the circus. This is deep. Circus Deep."
Responsible for a multitude of club ready releases since the late 90’s, you can find George Thomson’s aliases in the catalogues of legendary labels such as Optimo Music, Output Recordings, NRK Sound Division and Greco-Roman.  His sound is a warped fusion of disco, electro and acid-house, splicing together further influences as diverse as Tom Waits, Sun Ra and Mad Professor.  Catch George live, along with his collaborator Mairi ‘b’ Pots as the percussive acid house chanson experiment Accident Machine.  Tune in to George’s essential monthly radio show, ‘All Noise’ on Edinburgh’s EHFM  Radio and hear him selecting soundtracks for dance floors across the land.

Mairi ‘b’ Pots is an Edinburgh-based DJ and percussionist and a regular figure in Edinburgh’s music scene with a deep-rooted connection to disco, house, and electronic music. Renowned for her vibrant energy and seamless blending of classic grooves with contemporary beats, Mairi’s sets are a celebration of rhythm and melody. Her unique twist comes from live percussion, adding dynamic, organic layers to her performances that captivate dance floors and this is especially prevalent when collaborating with George T under Accident Machine.  A regular at clubs, festivals, and underground events, she brings an infectious enthusiasm to every set with her passion for music.
Natasha Kitty Katt is an Intergalactic Vampire—a bold force in electronic music, weaving high-energy Italo, synth-driven beats, and cosmic grooves. Known for her genre-blurring sound, she has brought her magnetic energy to legendary venues like Hï Ibiza, Ministry of Sound, House of Yes NYC, along with residencies at Glitterbox, Southport Weekender, and Suncebeat Festival. On the production front, Natasha’s releases on labels such as Nervous Records, Whiskey Disco, Paper Recordings, F*CLR and Glitterbox. Her tracks have gained support from industry heavyweights like Louie Vega, who remixed two of her standout works, and her newest venture, ‘Synaptic Juice,’ which showcases her passion for Italo, synthwave, and cutting-edge electronic sounds, is released on her label, Shadowrunner Recordings.

it's so sad just to see there
all alone in the shadows
when the moonlight shine bright on you
i can see your sorrow

that haunted look you give to me
demented and twisted 
that haunted look you give to me
send chills  

it's so sad just to see there 
hiding in your sorrows
i tried to reach your despair
you turn to me with anger

that haunted look you give to me
demented and twisted 
that haunted look you give to me
send chills...

Solo DIY project from an apartment in Seattle

When i
When i take it too far
Now, I'm just as sorry as you are
Get angry 
it does nothing
Voice the frustration
The guilt is crushing

I sit around and watch my skin die
Feel like i committed some kind of crime
Passion isn't always prudent
So much hate i get caught in the movement 
Certain topics i lose control
What have i gained
What have i changed
Politics don't matter 6 below
We have no say
They sow our fate

I hit myself when i remember
Memories memories i lose my temper
Shaking sweating social dreading take it in
Faking facing moral degradation ever since
I let you down
I let you down

Some of the modules used were Medusa Subharmonic Oscillator and NTO to FM the Medusa, VC Resonant Equaliser and a Serge 8-Stage Sequencer/Programmer.   Full patch details are not provided at this time. Recording was made directly into two tracks of a Zoom H6 Recorder.  A computer was used only for mastering purposes.

Thank U for listening from us three🙏🙏🙏

Lyrics:
I’m a pattern on a patchwork heart
What am I gonna do with my little part?
Cover up everything that’s dark?
Or shoot light outta my heart

Like a rainbow
Cut through the clouds
Like a rainbow

Do da do Do da do

Shuffling along inside my shoes
Walking on a different road than you

Do da do Do da do

I’m hoping we can find a thread to share

Seems to me we’re really quite the same
Really quite the same
We’re different patterns cut in different shapes

Ooo, are you?
Maybe not, maybe we are
The same thing, underneath this
Ooo, are you?
Maybe not, but what if we are
The same thing, underneath this?

Do you wanna make a patchwork heart?
We are only strong as the thread holding us together
Double seam on the things that we really need
To hold the light in our hearts

Like a rainbow

Cut through the clouds
Like a rainbow

Shoot out my heart
Like a rainbow

You’re in my heart
Like a rainbow

Stick together like a patchwork heart
And shine our light

Like a rainbow
It’s the colour of light

Stick together like a patchwork heart
And shine our light
Like a rainbow
It’s the colour of light

Like a rainbow
It’s the colour of light

Like a rainbow
It’s the colour of light

Because of You

Flower of Life

lost in the morning light
safe from the madness that binds the night
I'll be the good man enlightened, abated, anodyne

I travel naked with a mind left to the wind
you won't believe that this is all that is needed to begin
caught inside the wasted life you never know that you're bleeding

I hear the voice  of higher mind
all the rusted wires untied
I'll be the good man invited, elated, held in line

I leave a message to myself just to remind
there is no reason to be learning how to be unsatisfied
or be lonely

why does it seem so hard to find
why can't it last forever

I'm watching the birds go by my window
my heart is believing fire
and all will reveal in time

'The Long Game'

Last Battle (2025) Remastered

I am a frozen statue, watching seasons come and go, feeling changes, doing nothing, forever...
Last movement of the rock symphony, where I pay tribute to, and play, my mom's spanish guitar.
Main theme (bass E1-A1...E1-A1-E2...), appears all along the album, and also main themes of other 3 movements sound here as refrains (Vienen y van / Hora tras hora) which are thus sung over 4 different musics ;) E-Ruizzo project is finished, what's to come?... below translated lyrics.

SE NOTA (PRIMAVERA EN EL POLO)  /  ONE CAN FEEL IT (SPRING AT THE POLE)

Se nota… después de seis meses  /  One can feel it… after six months
el sol amanece y se nota…  /  the sun dawns and one can feel it …

En el despertar del zorro ártico,  /  In the awakening of the arctic fox,
en el fluir de los glaciares se nota.  /  in the flow of the glaciers one can feel it.
En el nacimiento de icebergs,  /  At the birth of icebergs,
en los acantilados poblados de aves.  /  on the cliffs populated by birds.

Vienen y van, no me hacen caso,  /  They come and go, they don’t listen to me,
soy sitio de paso.  /  I’m a transit point.
Hora tras hora, los meses pasan,  /  Hour after hour, months pass through,
un sitio de paso soy.  /  I’m a transit point.

Se nota… como cada mañana,  /  One can feel it… as every morning,
que la primavera ha llegado al Polo.  /  that spring has come to the Pole.

Se nota…  /  One can feel it…

En la migración del narval,  /  In the migration of narwhal,
en el aliento del viento,  /  in the breath of the wind,
en las nubes que huyen de él, se nota.  /  in the clouds that run away from it, one can feel it.

En el canto de las sirenas,  /  In the singing of mermaids,
en las inflorescencias de hielo,  /  in the inflorescences of ice,
en el paso del noroeste se nota.  /  in the Northwest Passage one can feel it.

Vienen y van, no me hacen caso,  /  They come and go, they don’t listen to me,
soy para todos un sitio de paso,  /  I am a transit point for all of them,
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy),  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am),
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).

Vienen y van…  /  They come and go…

¡¡¡ La frecuencia diaria del proceso estacional  /  The daily frequency of the seasonal process
me permite hacer estudios estadísticos !!!  /  allows me to do statistical studies !!!
Ja ja ja ja ja ja jaaaa !!!  /  Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaa !!!

Vienen y van…  /  They come and go…

Hora tras hora, los meses pasan,  /  Hour after hour, months pass through, 
nuevos migrantes, nunca se cansan,  /  new migrants, they never get tired,
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).

Hora tras hora…  /  Hour after hour…

Se nota…  /  One can feel it…

Now all 44 songs I wrote with mom's guitar in my university years have been arranged and posted, 
after 8 years of E-Ruizzo project, which I'm about to finish. I plan to stay here, commenting as 
usual, and post future and still not scheduled songs from another profile. That's all, no alarm!

Se nota (Primavera en el Polo)

Official Soundcloud for Dark Electro Producer Scratch Kelly 
West Coast, Tasmania 
Darkwave + Dark Ambient + Wave + Experimental + Industrial

Scratch Kelly constructs a synthesis of dark ambient, industrial and wave music. She creates a diverse sonic landscape, from brutal and unforgiving industrial sounds to dreamy dark wave territory marked by melodic synth bass so deep you could drown in it. Her music is designed to bring a sense of realisation, contemplation and healing to the darker places of the psyche.
First surfacing in 2018 with as part of the Hobart based duo Soundtractor, and moving onto solo music production in 2022 with a series of self-released EP's and albums. Her work is heavily influenced by darkwave and industrial electro, but her  inclusion of complex, often experimental rhythms and emotive melodies sets her apart from the rest of the dark electronic scene. She has received her greatest exposure so far on radio and at the Unconformity Festival.
