Downstream

This is a truly great song written by my good friend and Ardent Collaborator Finn Eces. I am delighted have made a small contribution to the song and i am enthusiastic to let everyone hear this great talent ( Finn :-) ) 

Here is what finn had to say about the song on his page @finn_eces  

Back in the day when there were albums, this song would have been the last track on the B-side, that most of the band didn’t want on include at all. Poor structure, no obvious genre, not enough repetition, too long, etc, all fair points. Anyway, this is my B-side album filler that gets me kicked out of the band due to 'creative differences'.

Thinking back to a lifetime ago, living in the Bronx, driving on the Major Deegan, hot summer evenings, going nowhere in particular, sketchy air con, Indigo Girls CD on full volume, trying to sing those amazing harmonies.

Blink of an eye and all these years have past. Lots of water under the George Washington Bridge since then.

Lyrics:
I remember the copper autumn light outlining your demonic smile, as I drew the map of your freckles on the ceiling of your place, near the river.
Delusional streetwear and glam rock psychedelic playlists drove us there, in this spatiotemporal wasteland. Inspired and aroused,  we discovered the antisymmetric part of ourselves,  regarding the torsion tensor of our passion as a dynamic variable.
 - In the Labyrinth of your passions, I locked up the Minotaur in his chastity cage. I hear him moaning of frustration, in the humidity of your dreams, when the wind is southerly.
I devour the harmonies of your voice, lost in the riddle of you metallic eyes. And you crave for the misguided incantations of my music, the spasms of our geometrical laughter and the gentle touch of your red hair on my toes.
Nonchalantly lying on the flowers of the heather, you unfold the lost dimensions of your consciousness. Your angelic demons dance with my striges on the fifth movement of the fantastical symphony.
 - Deep down in the Labyrinth of your passions, I release the Minotaur and your tantalizing repentances give him a metaphysical blowjob   
I remember this winter with its crispy beech leaves under our boots and the frost on the window of your tiny room, filled with astrophysics books and quantic sex-toys.
You already had a master degree on procrastination but you took me by the hand. Your tiny bed was a wreck on the reefs of our desires. Under the ragged sails, I tied you to the mast.
 – In the core of the Labyrinth, we follow the Minotaur to the roots of the cosmic tree. Clothed by the shimmering coalescence of our entangled pleasures, we dance with him to the magnificence of ataraxia.

All the guitar parts were played on a Fender Telecaster with Texas pickups.

Colors

Grooving a little more 

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

Greetings and good afternoon to my SC friends. This is the 10th and final song intended for my upcoming album ‘What Color Is Your Paradox’. It is also my 7th mind-blowing collaboration with our dear friend Carlos Vivanco (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1, https://carlosvivanco1.bandcamp.com). 

This piece was highly entertaining and challenging to work on. We started with clearly defined regions (mine being the more techno sounding stuff… Carlos building the traditional instrument sections). I then mangled the whole thing, and tried to blur the lines more as the song progresses, until both worlds felt fully merged by the end. At least, that was the goal. I’ll let you decide if the structure succeeds in that regard. :)

The title is also quite significant to me at this point in my life; based on the idea of ‘masking’, and our growing inability to do so. 

If you aren’t familiar with the term ‘masking’, one Mental Health Care website I found defines it this way: “Masking often involves suppressing or hiding true emotions, which can lead to a buildup of unresolved feelings and contribute to increased stress, anxiety, and emotional turmoil in the long-term. In the context of mental health and neurodivergence, masking refers to the actions or coping strategies that individuals use to conceal their genuine thoughts, emotions, or challenges.”

It didn’t really occur to me at first that I was masking when I was younger. I guess that idea doesn’t resonate when you’re deeply lost in the illusion; at least, until something makes it obvious. But in hindsight, I’ve worn many masks over the course of my life (Art Director, Technician, Pre-Press Specialist and Graphic Artist would be some of my professional masks. And I would even go so far as to include Husband, Father and Son, since I was on auto-pilot during the earliest stages of those as well). 

As my life progressed, I felt more and more insincere in those roles. I felt something was wrong. I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Then COVID (something that actually required us to wear real masks. What irony!) came along, and miraculously changed that for all of us. We gained the necessary space we needed, to finally see the illusion more clearly. Now, that illusion grows more fragile and transparent by the day. So while I’m still in the early stages of trying to figure out the new paradigm… I suspect the really critical takeaway at this point is just recognizing when we’re being our genuine selves, and when we’re lost in a role; especially if that role is debilitating to our personal growth and well being.

Another thing I’m thinking a lot on these days…. Society is dependent on me playing those roles. And society doesn’t really care whether I’m happy or not (as long as I keep paying my bills, and buying their products, and believing their lies). So maybe, just maybe, society doesn’t have my best interests at heart (as I had originally hoped). Maybe… just maybe… we’re going to need to redefine who we are personally, as we stop playing along with this globally unconscious and ultimately destructive agenda.

Thick and chunky topic, I know. But that’s the way the world feels to me these days… like we needed a brisk slap across the face to wake us all up. COVID was that slap (and probably just the first of many still to come). It’s time to prioritize our own self interests; because if we don’t, they certainly won’t. So rip off those masks, and let your freak flag fly. It’s our life, and we’ll be the ones sitting on our deathbed, asking ourselves if we lived life true to ourselves…. or if we just fulfilled the role demanded by this illusion.

We hope you enjoy “Cracks In The Surface”; and it inspires you to think about what aspects of your reality are cracking. Keep in mind… if you still have a pulse, there is always time to change things up. :)

Lyrics:

Time is crawling slowly
Days are mostly grey
You set your wheels in motion
And just rolled away

You are no longer here with me
But my wheels of love keep spinning for you

My head is full and messy
You take up to much space
I try and try to clean up
My own wheels need more place

You are no longer here with me
But my wheels of love keep spinning for you

When I try to replace
Some of my spinning wheels
I will always end up
With a lot of empty deals

You are no longer here with me
But my wheels of love keep spinning for you

So i am just spinning around
Looking for a clue
That can get me started
And take me right to you

You are no longer here with me
But my wheels of love keep spinning for you

My spinning wheels are tired
The brake does not work..
Can't move back or forward
Just spinning around for you

You are no longer here with me
But my wheels of love keep spinning for you

Could you please lend me
One of you spinning wheels?
So I can roll forward
And find some spinning peace..

You are no longer here with me
But my wheels of love keep spinning for you....

Here a new Kinsâme song with Kyt de Kinsâme :
https://soundcloud.com/kiyotoyoshihara

-----------------------------------
台風の花
青い妖怪鏡
苦い水

-----------------------------------

I am storm flower 
And as soon as I bloom 
I perfume and I illuminate 
Of a thousand strategies 
My darling enemies 
I am the goldsmith 
Of my beloved monsters 
I make with:  A fever, a religion, a politics 
O dear mad dog 
I now have the right to poison you 
I am purity 
And you 
You are the terrorist 
That I create 
You are my monster that I show to the world 
My genocide of youth

-------------------------------

Je suis fleur de tempête
Et dès mon éclosion
Je parfume et j'éclaire 
De mille stratégies
Mes ennemis chéris
Je suis l'orfèvre
De mes monstres bien-aimés
J'en fait
Une fièvre, une religion, une politique
Ô cher chien enragé
J'ai à présent le droit de t'empoisonner
Je suis pureté
Et toi
Tu es le terroriste
Que je crée 
Tu es mon monstre que je montre au monde
Mon génocide de jouvence

Monsters - Kinsâme
