May the planet of love bestow a relaxing meditative state for you to rise.

Lots of synths - bass arp, pianos, reverb and acoustic guitars, orchestral basses, cello, and French horn set to hip hop and Latin beats at 75 bpm.

I played French horn as a child from age 10-18 in a public school concert band and later marching band. So I added a brief French horn passage with cello in a short classical treatment to herald the arrival of Venus and a nod to the Renaissance painting of the Goddess of Love.

This song is about being stuck in an endless loop of working life, the realisation of never ending monotony, to finally working out how to handle it and the hope of escaping it.

Cast of Characters:

Computart – @computart – guitar, vocals/whistling, composition

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – mix and production 

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass and mandolin

This song started as a recording of Computart playing the guitar and singing/whistling to a metronome, which you can find raw on his page. Having worked together before on a song called The Shining, the Frenchman reached across the pond again and asked me, the Yank, if I would like to add anything to this. This style of music being one of my favorites, I jumped at the chance. Of course, I got Ken involved right away because every great song needs a great drummer. I came up with a bass line, to which Ken added drums, to which I in turn redid my bass line, as is our usual process. I then added the mandolin. Then, Ken added the hand drums to put the icing on the cake. Tez was generous enough to produce and mix this for us, and we feel like he got it to sound like we were all playing in the same room together. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting it together. You can find more of Computart's music, as well as this one, for sale on his BandCamp page, which is right here.computart.bandcamp.com/track/plaisir

LYRICS

(Part I - Vocals by Neil Harding / Words by Jo Richter)

Those individuals on wheels had a hard time finding their feed. Hungry they were - for that special dumpling that connects you to anything pagans and believers alike deem holy. Although endowed with holgraphic properties, you can't walk on clouds unless they are numbered. They kept drifting upwards, therefore, slowly upwards until they hit the ceiling called Mars. Mars always happens to be where your head needs something to bump against. That's the nature of war.

(Part II - Words & Vocals by Stonerjazz)

It turned out
there was never any doubt
about
how it was gonna be

ya know it's hard sometimes
to get a grip
drifting in the corridors of time

everybody on the bus
runnin hard and hot
some of us holograms
except for Gus
he's an Alien from outer space
waiting for the rendezvous
at the window of the launch
in Oaxaca down in Mexico
Where the magic mushrooms grow

And his bus
a shuttle from the mother ship
disguised as a 1983 GMC
infinity
He's from another Galaxy
searching for the holy dumpling
just like you and me.

Hope we find that dumpling soon
maybe it's on the moon
traveling at the speed of light
we could get there sometime later on tonight

(Part III - Vocals by Wivresse)

Except for Gus (Smoking Trout's HOLY DUMPLING #9)

C'est le moment de rassembler nos forces pour créer le monde de demain 
(Traduit plus bas)
-----
I woke up from a dream where everything was blue
And I thought it felt so real, somehow it must be true
I've wandered aimlessly all the nights and days 
Under this azure sky, there were so many ways

No, I don't care what people say
I'd rather live a dream than stay
Stuck in this glue
Moaning every day, waiting for something new
I'll let the skeptic cynics sneer
Because I've found my purpose clear
In this crazy new world
In this chrysalis world

I'll fight the same old fools, I will show the way
I'll be joined by many more who've have enough of grey
In a world where forests whisper wise secrets to me
We'll cling tightly to the trees, and we'll swallow the key
 
But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

So I need you guy
We can't say goodbye

I wanna wake up every day
Without some bad news, if I may 
We can move on
And teach it to our child he'll teach it to his son
Re-learn to look at the ocean 
Overflowing with emotion
Remember it's fragile
It all depends on our will 

But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

So I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
 
"I was standing on the cliff, looking out to the sea
The sky reflected on the waves 
Creating many colours, between green and blue
Beauty washed over me and without realising it
I began to smile"

----
Je me suis réveillé d'un rêve où tout était bleu
Et j'ai pensé que c'était si réel, que ça devait être vrai.
J'ai erré sans but toutes les nuits et tous les jours 
Sous ce ciel azur, il y avait tant de chemins

Non, je me fiche de ce que les gens disent
Je préfère vivre un rêve plutôt que de rester
Coincé dans cette colle
Se lamentant chaque jour, attendant quelque chose de nouveau
Je laisserai les cyniques sceptiques ricaner
Parce que j'ai trouvé mon but clair
Dans ce nouveau monde fou
Dans ce monde chrysalide

Je combattrai les mêmes vieux imbéciles, je montrerai le chemin
Je serai rejoint par beaucoup d'autres qui en ont assez du gris
Dans un monde où les forêts me chuchotent de sages secrets
Nous nous accrocherons aux arbres et nous avalerons la clé.
 
Mais j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Mais j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Alors j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir

Je veux me réveiller chaque jour
Sans mauvaises nouvelles, si je peux me permettre 
Nous pouvons aller de l'avant
Et l'enseigner à notre enfant, il l'enseignera à son fils
Réapprendre à regarder l'océan 
Débordant d'émotions
Se souvenir qu'il est fragile
Tout dépend de notre volonté 

Mais j'ai besoin de toi
Nous ne pouvons pas nous dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Mais j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Alors j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
 
"Je me tenais sur la falaise, regardant la mer.
Le ciel se reflétait sur les vagues 
Créant de nombreuses couleurs, entre le vert et le bleu
La beauté m'a envahi et sans m'en rendre compte
J'ai commencé à sourire"

We Can't Say Goodbye

Burnout

This song is rather long. After all, it's also about a very long journey. We know that not everybody like long songs. We have an excerpt of this song in a completely different version with only guitar accompaniment. That would be the short alternative. But we would be happy if some listeners would make the complete musical journey with us and listen to the full version of the song to the end. Here we go:
Enceladus
Part I: Journey in space:
When we left the earth last year, without any sign of fear
No clue how it would be here

Travelling through the lonely night
Drifting in the milky light
Far away from human sight 

Far away from human life, our mission feels so right
Flying to the icy moon, a journey to the unknown
Enceladus calling us, with the rocket travelling fast
Human dreams we cannot hide, human spirit is our guide
Watch a different cosmic side, all around us the starlight
Travel through eternal night, travel through eternal night

Instrumental Part

Part II: Approaching Enceladus, Landing:
Enceladus’ coming near, Saturn is so huge and clear
Time to change the running gear
Approaching Saturn’s mystical face
After that journey through infinite space
Landing on this moon, foreign stars above
Enceladus as beautiful as love
We’ll explore the ocean under the deep ice
We wonder whether we’ll find traces of life

Travelling through the lonely night
Drifting in the milky light
Far away from human sight

Behind the rings the moon awaits
We’ll explore it’s icy gates
Instruments raised to explore
What’s under the ice and more
Secrets of the inner sea
Cannot wait what we will see, cannot wait what we will see

Instrumental Part

Part III: The scientific mission, getting the results:
(Unfortunately, we are not authorized to present the research results here; this will be done officially. That's why we had to remove this part from our song. Unfortunately, it will take a very, very long time, before the research results are published so we have to ask you to be very patient. )
…
Part IV: Dismantling the camp and heading home:
Enceladus was our home on this mission so alone
Time to leave this icy stone
Packing the instruments with care and grace
We’ll bring our finding through the distant space
In the frozen world under the star’s dome
We gather ‘cause it’s time to go home
Enceladus we will never come back
But about you we’ll create a soundtrack (you have it tight here, the soundtrack)

Camp dismantled and our probes in the crates
Every one ready the countdown awaits
We’ll bring Enceladus’ portrait, 
Destination home, we are on our way

Wait for us ‘cause we bring home amazing research data
And to earth we bring Enceladus’ water

We missed our earth and our people so much
Oh, how we want to feel again the earth’s living touch
Our family faces we long to greet
We will be so happy when we finally can meet
We’ve learned nothing is more important than protecting the earth
Every fight, every sacrifice, every effort it is worth – it!

Get On Your Feet feat. SilverBella

This is another one that's been under development for a while. Kind of a weird fun vibe to it I thought.

Melancholy Mollusk

OK. I've reverted to unmastered file... In my opinion that what automatic mastering done was horrible... Nevertheless, you can listen to it here and form your own opinion:
https://on.soundcloud.com/4FZJcJWpyocL1aPx7

No A.I. involved. Only me, keyboard, recently bought sustain pedal, free Soundpaint Piano with built-in shimmer reverb, some compression and Ozone 9 Elements on master channel set to jazz.

Little theme I've conceived on evening May 27th after watching the last episode of "The Devil's Hour". Simple melody and chords... a draft. Let's say it's a version 0.5 ;) Half improvisation, half interpretation of something that came to my head 30 minutes earlier. Lots of hesitation, a bit mistakes, two edited notes on ending of first part... and the double ending ;) I'm still human, and a bad keyboard player ;) Recorded in one take.
