ONE DAY, A MILLENIUM

100 BEST TRACKS of 2016 (This year's most Awesome Compositions on Soundcloud)

After a long time not making any music I made 2 tracks in a row... Now to continue

3 Post-Hiatus 2016 tracks

Different strange experiments done in the search for spacerock as a goal, but which richochets off at a weird tangent into another dimension... Wild.

Rock surveys. Space geology trials

Enya - Only time

https://soundcloud.com/robatthepub joined in on the dance through the forests of Orduhr, wherever that may be, but meet we did somehow.
I'm not sure if it's the forest, it's inhabitants that is nanorobotic constructs or both, but that is but a technicality. They sure can dance.

The Construct Forest Dwellers Of Orduhr Dance -featuring robatthepub

Searched for a garage in time and I think I found one around the seventies. A sealed cold war underground fortress. I managed to jump my spaceship inside and went dancing while exploring this strange garage for my spaceship.

A Garage For My Spaceship

For the first time I mix English and Swedish in a song



Alright

The clouds are here to stay
It´s been raining for nineteen days
my waterspout has fallen down
I have to hang it up again

I have mud, all over my face
and my wellies have seen their best days
they are my favorites but I guess it´s time for them
to be replaced, for them to be replaced

But it won´t bring me down
I just jump into my truck and then I drive to town
Alright
I am doing fine, I listen to a song I never heard
and It sounds nice
Alright
It goes something like this
"slå klackarna i taket nu kör vi hårt"
A foreign language I guess
"sätt foten på pedalen och gasa på"

I have a leak in my roof
and the water is slowly falling down
into a broken bucket 
I guess I have to buy a new

My hair is lank as hell
and my shirt is so dirty
but I´m in no hurry
to change cause I´m all by my self
and my doorbell has the quiet tune,
it has the quiet tune

But it won´t bring me down
I just jump into my truck and then I drive to town
Alright
I am doing fine, I listen to a song I  never heard
and It sounds nice
Alright
It goes something like this
"slå klackarna i taket nu kör vi hårt"
A foreign language I guess
"sätt foten på pedalen och gasa på"

Now you know how I live by the lakeside
Now you know what I´m dealing with
Now my story spread real far , yes wordwide
but I don´t mind sharing it
Cause I don´t belive it will do me no harm
I´m just telling you guys how a tuff lady
is living on a truckfarm

Now you know what it´s like here on my side
Now you know about my outfit
I have to say that I´m damn proud about it
My fingers look like a tool kit
I´m shoveling shit till I´m closing my eyes
I don´t like to sit still with my arms hanging down
doing nothing

But it won´t bring me down....



Alright

Dry surfing on a Lunar dust bed dragged by my spaceship on autopilot.
An attempt on surf rock. 

Feedback appreciated, as I lack that when using amp simulator ;-)

DR: 13

Surf Is High On The Mare Vaporum

After surfing on the Mare Vaporum I went cruising with the Screamboat Queen. She always has some strange music going in her starboat.

Layered improvisation with bass guitar and several virtual synths.

DR: 12

Cruising With The Screamboat Queen

09 - One Perfect Sunrise [feat Lisa Gerrard]

All will die when it comes
All the plants and the sun
All women, every man
So I'll love you while I can

Hey, there's a death cloud coming our way
So who cares what people say
Hear my moon whisper to your sun
Hey, I'll be the light that guides the way
In your arms is where I'll stay
When all else will fade to grey.

Exit Through The Black Hole

In psychiatrist Frederik Van Eeden's article 'A Study Of Dreams' (1913), he describes the phenomenon of being aware of the fact that one is dreaming and being able to control the characteristic, narrative and environment of these dreams.

Lucid Dreaming

The first single taken from CHANGELINGS' debut album 'Poppyfields'. Released in October 2016.

Music and lyrics by Jay Penaflor (with instrumental contributions from the band)

Jay Penaflor - vocals, acoustic, synthesizer
Tom Grubb - lead guitar
Nyle Gibbens - bass
Ryan Haustorfer - drums, percussion

Recorded and mixed by Ryan Haustorfer (Minimum Studios, Melbourne)
Mastered by Andrew Edgson (Studios 301, Sydney)

'There's A Place' (2016)

Finally had a sitdown with some of my music equipment.

Microkorg and guitar in duet, plus a lot of vst fx.

Tried to fix the mix a bit or 16 to be exact. I don't know. Must relearn a bit about mixing. Been a while now

Mesmerized By The Carpenter's Tapestry

Another one of those tracks, which starts with a thought of just playing for the sake of playing, but I start to record and then I suddenly have a track. First one after a hiatus of several months. Recorded this prior to the Mesmerized track.

Still trying to mix. Can't complain about DR of 10, though

Return To Bass

Finally piecing together a home studio and here's the first 'finished' project so far.  
A Virus driven journey in search for Dark Energy with some help from microkorg. Analog/digital fusion.

Dynamic range: 11. Some phasing issues and bass rumble, maybe. But pleased with quite warm sound. Beware of high pitched sound around 4:30 or thereabouts hehe

lyrics:

she says - don’t think, don’t move
what are you tryin' to prove?
just be you
she says - let it out, let it breathe
let it crawl out of the sleeve
and i know - all the colors, step by step
are blending with her spiderweb

my muse 
i pledge my soul to you

i'm a kind of a dorian gray
and i am faustian, by the way
as long as i feel you 
i am everything you want me to be

my muse 
i pledge my soul to you

My Muse

The Matrix Is Broken - tHE bLUE rOOM Ft. winkandwoo

Tumbling through the escalator tubes of the Martian Palace one hear a cacophony of sounds from differents floors. Confusing.

Casio and a whole lotta fx.

The Hypnotic Gravity Stair of the Martian Palace

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)

Solitary manipulator of soundproducing stuff. Mostly improvising in some way or many. 

You're free to download and use this music as you please. Sample,mix, fix or mangle it into unrecognisableness, but I want to hear the result. That's the only catch.
Can send you stems etc if wanted... 

Interested in collaborations/remixing/stuff.
Give feedback and hints as you see fit. Peer review is important in this kind of endeavour. I have no charts for these territories, no boundaries are in view, no limits.

Mixed with and mostly for headphones, not sure how it'll sound on sound systems. For some tracks it's advisable to turn the sound up, but some tracks are quite loud. I don't know what I'm doing half(or more of) the time.
Time is elusive and opportunities for spending time on my music comes and goes fast. An hour here and two hours there...I need coffee...
