First song I am posting in 2024!

This is what I wrote in 2013 when I first thought about posting Nothing But (The Sound) but decided to take it down from the cloud short after. 

"Nothing But (The Sound)" is Plastic Inevitable's first song since 2011! Plastic Inevitable is Marty Procaccio, AKA Blankets, working the sound and Sneekie San Salvador tweaking the sound. The recording for this song began in 2011 in the bedroom recording studio of Marty in Santa Clara California using GarageBand and a whole bunch of pedals. The song was completed in 2013 with vocals recorded in Sneekie San Salvador's mobile Toyota recording unit.

Now it is 11 years later...

I am amazed that I found the vocal stems. I had to look though an old hard drive to find them. I did not feel like digging through more old hard drives for the original track stems. Big thanks to Russell for taking the time to mix the vocals and master the track. I told Russell, when I mixed the original instrumental I was listening to a lot of shitgaze bands at the time. 

May you find many gems when you dig into your past.

Lyrics: 

Chorus:
Sitting in my car
Windows rolled down
Feet out the window
Nothing but the sound
Of my favorite song

Capture me a distraction
And season it with your bliss
To steal my dissatisfaction 
And feed my mind but a moment
Of happiness 

Chorus

Capture me a distraction
And season it with your bliss
To steal my dissatisfaction 
And feed my mind but a moment

Chorus  

In this moment
There is an infinite 
Amount of things
Happening
In this moment
I have loved you
Infinitely 
Again and again
In this moment 
I am yours
Forever with me
My forever friend
In this moment 
I sing with you
Every song 
That was ever made

Nothing But (The Sound)

Blankets and the Couch King with Russ Sinfield - Nothing But (The Sound)

At the time of the birth of jazz, the role of the guitar was primarily as a rhythm instrument. I enjoyed this recording while remembering the lives of the great guitar players of the time, wondering what it would be like if we translated that atmosphere into a modern style. I am extremely grateful to Vocalatti and Mark Dorricot for agreeing to release this collaboration.

This time, I focused on playing the rhythm guitar, which is modest but has a strong presence.This recording does not include my solo guitar parts.

I am honored to be able to release this collaboration here. Please enjoy Vocalatti's wonderful vocals and Mark Dorricott's excellent performance.

===============================================
The chord you are sensing while listening to this recording is probably Dm7/G/. That's certainly how I play my rhythm guitar this time. However, I believe that this wonderful work was clearly written for those seeking an introduction to the blues.So, while listening to this recording, let's play the chord progression shown here = D7/G7/ along with the song. A three-finger arpeggio would also work. I think that alone will make you feel a little strange. That's exactly the entrance to the blues. The more perfect this basic recording is, the more we want to play it on the D7/G7/. I would like each of you to listen to this recording thoroughly and experience the joy of playing the D7/G7/ together.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the many people who have supported this track. And as I previously mentioned here, I recorded a guitar accompaniment for this song using the "D7 and G7" chords listed below. The track will be made private and only the link will be introduced below. Please click and play. I would be happy if it was useful for those of you who are practicing guitar.

The D7 and G7 positions I recommend are in the link below.
 I would like you to listen to this track and get an idea of the sound of the "D7 and G7" chords added to the original sound source. Also, learn how to trace the scale when using the "D7 and G7" chords.
First of all, "D7" = "D", so in the Western musical scale, Bm/D pentatonic comes to mind as a scale that can be used there. .
And one more thing: using "D7" directly leads to the use of the blues scale. When the chord is "D7", it is natural to try playing Dm/F pentatonic.
Please play it and check the above.

And Did Those Feet (Jerusalem)
by William Blake

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
 
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among those dark Satanic Mills?
 
Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
 
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.

William Blake's And Did Those Feet (Jerusalem) by Richard M.S. Irwin & Nadia Selvaggi

Had a little dry spell, hopefully it's over now. In the span of 24 hours I have alternated between hating and loving this track about 400 times...

If you need a helping hand
Someone who understands
Don’t shed a tear, I’m right here

If you need a dollar bill
Or have a little time to kill
Baby you know I will
I’m right here

When you’re down and blue
And you need two big strong arms to pull you through
Hold on tight, that’s what i’ll do

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you night and day
Have no fear I'm right here

When the road is long
And you need someone to beside you, I’ll come along
Anywhere with you, is the place where I belong

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you every day
Have no fear I'm right here
Have no fear I'm right here
Let me make this clear

I'm Right Here

A Slow Ride on the New Bike

I met an artist on soundcloud, who has sucha a stream of ideas, that  one project isn't enough." Cosmic Majo" offered me an instrumental and asked me something to do with those "voices", of mine. No rules, no conditions.

I heard immediatly the sea of Scotland and blue creatues singing with my voice; beware a storm is coming. 

Lyrics  blue men of the Minch

We are in Scotland,
We hear the story of the blue men of the Minch, some sort of blue creatures looking like  human but t hey live under water in deep caves 
looking for sailors to drawn
and stricken boats to sink
They have a blue colour, this mythical creatures look much like humans, and are about the same size. But they have the power to create storms.
When the weather was fine they were sleeping under the surface of the water. They swim with their torsos raised out of the water, twisting and diving. 
They could cause storm. The blue creatures approached the capitain of a ship
And said  that he had to finish the rhyme
The capitain had to solve riddles and finish 2 rhymes of poetry.

If he couldn’t do it the ship was capsised  

 Blue Chief: Man of the black cap what do you say
As your proud ship cleaves the brine?
Skipper: My speedy ship takes the shortest way
And I'll follow you line by line
Blue Chief: My men are eager, my men are ready
To drag you below the waves
Skipper: My ship is speedy, my ship is steady
If it sank, it would wreck your caves.

The Blue Men Of The Minch (collab Cosmic Majo)

in a garden
she is gazing
at an apple

she is naked
doesn’t realize
and she wonders

in the sun
asking:

“Listen honey,
would you like some
just between us?”

perilous
picnic

she don’t worry 
she can take the heat
Mother Courage
ends up in the street

east of eden
she is toiling
for her children

fearless love
wisdom
mama’s love
wisdom

fearless love
wisdom
mama’s love
wisdom

Vocal & lyrics : Janne Hennie

It became dark when you left
Only the moon gave some light
How see the sun without you
When my heart is broken in two...?

I gave you all that I could give
I never thought that you would leave
You left me here alone
With my broken heart
I'm crying out for you
Come back
My light..

I know I can be a bit weird
Stupid things that I say and do
But one thing was always so clear for me
I found my light in you..

I gave you all that I could give
I never thought that you would leave
You left me here alone
With my broken heart
I'm crying out for you
Come back
My light...

I gave you all that I could give
I never thought that you would leave
You left me here alone
With my broken heart
I'm crying out for you
Come back
My light...
