Stagnation: a state of not flowing or moving...

Stagnation

Full album on bandcamp - mikebenoit.bandcamp.com/album/reconfi…-combinations
Mike Benoit is a wonderful sound artist who reached out to me this year with the idea of taking some raw improv piano playing and reworking them to produce original tracks. This appealed to me because 1 - I ain't the greatest piano player so this was flattering and 2 - I spend so much of my time reworking other peoples sounds it would be awesome to be on the receiving end for a change : ) .The album features 4 tracks, each one originally recorded on a different piano then given the treatments by Mike.

The dialogue featured here is from an interview with Swiss Psychologist Carl Jung in 1959. The interviewer asks Jung whether he believes there will be a Third world war.

I find it fascinating when words spoken long ago resonate with the world today.

Jung 1959

Downtown. Streetside bars. Instrumental. Kind of a latin/blues/jazz thing that morphed into hard rock, then synth pop.

Streetside

Godiamoci la vita finché siamo giovani, diceva un noto inno goliardico.
In proposito, credo che l'amore renda giovani in ogni tempo, e, quando l'età è cambiata, aiuti comunque a vivere con ritrovata giovinezza.
E mi piace anche pensare che se c'è l'amore la notte è lontana. 

------ 

La notte è lontana 

Se l'amore è una luce 
Alla fine della notte
È il sapore di un fiore 
Il calore di un sole 

Se l'amore è una nota 
Che può far rumore 
Musica che suona libera 

Baciami 
Dimentica tutto 
Quello che non va 
La notte è lontana
Ma presto o tardi arriverà 

Se l'amore in un sogno
Ha un corpo di donna
Che mi ruba il pudore
Per farmi volare 

E somiglia una nota
Anche se fa rumore
Musica che suona libera 

Baciami 
Dimentica tutto
Quello che non va 
La notte è lontana
Ma presto o tardi arriverà

La notte è lontana

La Notte È Lontana

Lyrics:

The time has come
For Orpheus’ last song
Tell them what’s wrong
It won’t be long

Before the magistrate
Will exaggerate
The nature of the charge
The culprit’s still at large

Orpheus

The time has arrived
Orpheus will dive
Into the final Verse
Vanquishing the curse

One little thing
In everything
Is still significant
Commence the sacrament

Orpheus

Hello brain
It's been a while
Hello grey matter
Life never tasted any better

So many things we do
Look at this mess
Good news is:
If we did it, we can undo it
We can unscrew it
If you're up to it
We can see this through

We can love and respect and protect and connect
We can see, we can feel, we can let it be and agree
We can allow different world views
Kung Fu, Zulu, Voodoo, Urdu
We can choose not to subdue

Hello white matter
Come on, let's try this
Life never tasted any better

Explicit lyrics:
Felt like almost dead, would you carry me home, would you lay me down?
Felt like shit again, would you bring my pills? do you know how it feels?

i don't know where to go...is this the end? i don't know!
From the tip of my head...till my toes, is this hell and heaven's above?

is there a free ride or a lottary prize? to win to lose on an XL size?
crappy or not, time will show...all i know is heaven's above!

I don't wanna buy a lotta food
i don't wanna get rid the booze
i don't wanna buy an SUV
i don't wanna get fatold and get peed

i don't wanna watch the news
i don't wanna get dirty with tools
i don't wanna smell your farts
i don't wanna mess around with you fatfucks!

Rock and Roll Kills

Heaven's above?

Summer Tram - with Francesco Cartocci

I don't even know anymore

Lyrics:

We gonna put some smiles on some white folks faces tonight
Get on down here and hit it, Mick Mack


Sweet cinnamon with some cherry pie
I hate purple backpacks, dontcha ask me why
Ronald McDonald with a rubber bowtie
Rub on the lotion then you’re gonna die

Heart ache, or fart ache, the stink of my farts
Better be careful when you’re playing with darts
I’m feelin’ and squeelin’ like the ace of hearts
I’m like GG Allin with my pants full of sharts

Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby
Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby

Sweet cherry pie with some cinnamon
I ate mac and cheese out the garbage bin
I can’t feel my hands and my face is numb
I’ve got haemorrhoids all over my bum

You’ll hear lots of talk all over the city
I got dick warts and it ain’t so pretty
Now do a little dance while you hear this ditty
The production value is so fucking shitty

Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby
Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby

I don’t care what time it is, it’s time for the pharmaceutical phaggot

Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby
Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby, Oh yeah baby

Oh Yeah Baby!

In the process of fixing the mix may have to do it all over…🚧 WIP ⚠️ 
Thanks for listening!!!

Harmful & Mac - lyrics and music
Scotty - vocals

Are you paying attention? I guess you're not.
There’s too much information. Yeah, I hear that a lot...
And like a lot of fools you feel that you cannot improve without YouTube 
to help you through the bumps and bruises,
help you chew the lumps life chooses.
I don’t know if I wanna hold your hand.
If you follow me I’ll help you see that only I know how to breathe.
Come to stay and never leave.
See that violence leads to peace.
Instructions hid behind the crease.
Disruption to the sanity.
