Growing a beard for fun and profit (remaster)

Hi, my name is Tom, and I enjoy making music.

One of my greater inspirations is Dead Can Dance. To learn how to use some new gear I recently acquired, I thought it fun to mimic that typical DCD style.

Did it work?

There are no lyrics, so I won't post them here.

Thank you Beach Boys, Pink Floyd and 10CC for being my loving childhood friends. Who else would have spent so many hours in my headphones with me? And thank you Jonathan Beckenstein for being my now friend and for joining me for this song. You understand it completely.

Hang on to Each Other

Brian Wilson said to hang on to your ego             
But I don’t know if that’s the answer
Disintegration might be what the doctor ordered    
And anyway it doesn’t matter
We should just hang on to each other

Communication is the problem to the answer       
We do for love what’s necessary
Sometimes the white flag is the only one that matters    
When you think love is worth repairing
Then we can hang on to each other

Inside we hear a siren screaming
Inside the walls are fortifying
The words like bullets over parapets and trenches
Fire off all your cannons or surrender

The lunatic is in the hall but I am thinking      
That he could use an invitation
Words on the wing like pigs and dogs and laughing gremlins
Bounce harmless off our best intentions
And we will hang on to each other
We will hang on to each other        
We will hang on

Hang On to Each Other - with Jonathan Beckenstein

Ladies and gentlemen. Been a minute. 
This is a 162Bpm euphoric vibes track. 
Respect for listening and support.
Dm your music if so. Thanks. ❤️

Good morning all you Action/Adventure enthusiasts out there. Boy do I have a treat for you. Today I am very proud to offer you my first collaboration with our massively creative SC musician friend, Ian West (AKA: Khaki Green Gills - https://soundcloud.com/khakigreengills). And what an epic track it is (I clearly have a 50s movie theme going on lately. Haha).

It started out simple enough at first; just a back and forth on foundational design ideas. But at some point, we realized it had a tale to tell; and that tale absolutely demanded to be campy. 

So we searched near and far for the perfect vocal elements, and we found them in a wonderfully old-timey, B&W Sci-Fi Adventure called ‘Rocky Jones - Crash of the Moons’ (now Public Domain. Oh yea!). We also added enough quirky space sounds to make any cosmic traveler feel right at home (assuming you’re on a spaceship with consoles made of metal pegboard; and enough buttons, dials and knobs to boggle the imagination).

It’s so much fun detailing a song like this. At a certain point, you realize you can’t wipe the smile off your face any more. And the end result is quite exhilarating. Without going all Cliff’s Notes on you, let’s just say we sincerely hope our heroes can reach Space Station OW9 in time to save our friends from certain doom. Who could have known orbiting moons could be so troublesome. 

So without further dallying, Ian and I proudly offer you our first collaboration, ‘The Adventures Of HyperDrive Huxley’. We hope you enjoy. :)

P.S.: If you find the cover art equally exhilarating, head to your nearest App Store without further delay, and download the amazing free artistic app called WOMBO Dream. Sure, I like to run the art through lots of Photoshop filtering, to try for a more personalized feel. But the original art generator is the real star of the show here. I highly recommend checking it out. You’ll catch yourself creating random pieces of art for hours, and loving every one of them.

It was fun to work with Izi on this track - she's a very talented singer and I'm sure we're going to hear some great music from her in the future.

Thanks to David Todd (https://soundcloud.com/toddlers) for writing the lyrics.

I hope you enjoy this version - please let me know what you think :)

I had a dream, and I wrote this song not to forget it. 

Technical highlights: hand played bass, slightly odd riff on chorus (15/2) & some extra psychedelia.

Pic & sounds taken with my phone during a recent experience which could help me understand the dream, maybe…

Letra  /  Lyrics:

NÍMOR (No sé dónde estoy)  /  NÍMOR (I don’t know where I am)

Entré en la sala sin hacer ruido,  /  I entered the room making no noise,
los pocos que vi eran desconocidos,  /  the few ones I saw were strangers,
busqué una cama que estuviera libre y dormí.  /  I looked for a spare bed and slept.

Al día siguiente no encontré mi sitio,   /  The following day I didn’t find my place,
todo estaba lleno de desconocidos,  /  the whole room was full of strangers,
me di la vuelta para salir y te vi.  /  I turned around to leave and I saw you.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …

La cama de al lado estaba vacía,  /  The bed at your side was empty,
y me preguntaste si la quería,  /  and you asked if I wanted it,
la quise y pronto nos hicimos amigos,  /  I did and soon we became friends,
desconocidos.  /  strangers.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …
Nímor, no sé qué pasa…  /  Nímor, I don’t know what’s going on...
Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...

Te pregunté “¿cómo se llama este sitio?”  /  I asked you "what’s the name of this place?"
y me contestaste que estaba contigo,  /  and you answered that I was with you,
y sin darme cuenta te quise mucho y dormí.  /  and unconsciously I loved you so and slept.

Ahora del sueño ya me he despertado,  /  Now from the dream I’ve already woken,
tu nombre lamento no haber preguntado,  /  your name I regret not having asked,
te llamaré como el sitio en que te conocí.  /  I’ll call you like the place where I met you.

Nímor (…)  /  Nímor (…)

Nota para el oyente español: ninguna influencia de Chiquito de la Calzada en el título; lo pongo tal como lo soñé y punto.

NÍMOR (No sé dónde estoy)

I was playing around with the "Cuban Piano" and kind of liked the sound of it.
So, I was just thinking of what kind of vista might be nice for some rhythm sets I was playing with.

It put me in mind of a jungle setting, so I got to wondering if there were some jungle sounds that were available...and there was one...so I grabbed it.

I wanted something like an oboe or bassoon to blast out through the scenery, but it needed a little more power. I thought about the brightness of brass, so I checked out the Tuba...but it was too brassy. However, just for fun, I picked up the EQ on the hi and lo spectrum ends and left the middle alone, and kept playing down the scale until, happily, it had just the right sound.

Then I wanted some different unique sounds, so I kept playing with the percussion sets until something almost like a woodpecker sound popped out.
So it became part of the mix.

I hope it works out well for an enjoyable ride through the rain forest.

Waiting

Album 1981 - in the right order:
https://soundcloud.com/steve-fullyard/sets/1981a


This is the story of a man, which is probably in his prime, or on his way there, being totally drawn towards electronic music and synthesizers. 

In a state where he is highly working on his physical and mental skills and trying to pretty much live at fullest in the present day, there is still this longing back for and into the 80s, influencing his actions ...

One fateful day, there is this one paper ad, this one thing, which changes ... everything!

Enjoy this audio-visual journey into another world, and time.
HQ Version can be bought directly on Bandcamp.
