Dreaming In Color  (Blown To Pieces VERSION) - rehearsal demo 9/17/11

The Dreaming is a common term within the animist creation narrative of indigenous Australians for a personal, or group, creation and for what may be understood as the "timeless time" of formative creation and perpetual creating.
In addition, the term applies to places and localities on indigenous Australian traditional land (and throughout non-traditional Australia) where the uncreated creation spirits and totemic ancestors, or genius loci, reside. No one English word covers the concept; for example, Anangu who speak Pitjantjatjara use the word Tjukurpa and those who speak Yankunytjatjara use Wapar, but neither means dreaming in the English sense.

Ben gtr part demo. Hard to Imagine

when i think about you
i see you are a machine
all pieces people put into you in your breeding
when i think about you
i see you in a dream
generations stretching over time 
something we’d not recognize

when i think about you
i see you are a dream
the inputs and the outputs
coalescing in an ideal thing
when i take a look at you
i know you are an animal
by your breathing and your instincts
when i think about me...

...when i think about me i know i am an animal
i know i am  i know i am  i know i am an animal
when i think about me i know i am am animal
blood coursing through my veins, desires so great and unyielding

Oh, I Want (Jan 21)

bottle babble

Interested in collaboration, criticism, and conversation. Currently most dedicated to making some sort of Afrobeat and/or Congotronics inspired record of songs + jams + programming. Going about this with a 5 man + computers/loopers team including modified electric guitars (to emulate mbiras), re-imagined auxiliary percussion/drumsets (cymbals, bells, trash on drum heads, multiple cymbals mounted atop each other, etc), tiny (tinny) solid state practice amps such as Vox Pathfinder and Fender Frontman, Roland Handsonic, and several delay pedals. Me + my brother Dane, his wife Abbey, friends Kyle Henson and Ben Jousan (and more folks on the way?). All the vocals/lyrics here are very tentative (ie placeholders for the real deal)! Most of what's public here is VERY demo.
