Oh, yes, welcome!

If you're keen on experiencing the long duration evolving masterpieces i encounter and randomly put on this list here, then hi!

No shorties here, nononoo. All your base are belong to us! No matter if genre-bending, blending or more a bit "minimalistic", i will collect all of you, which, i think, fit into this Mammoth mindset. Can include Rock, pure Electronic, whatever...... lets go!

Ah YES: No soundscapes, and barely, if ever, max RARELY ambient stuff. It will keep you moving forward, more grounded, less in space floating. That's the idea behind (although tracks which have quieter and more calm parts, might still qualify for this).

Yours,
SF

ps: might take time to put them in a "specific" order... haha!

Epic Journey aka "The Mammoth"

Quartz Glass

#please-repost if you like this song : )
slow moving ambient heavy intro into an upbeat electronic future music from asia.  The songs is a mix of world music, electronic, performed by a live rock band. could be a Chinese opera soundtrack.  it ends with a heavy metal crescendo. 

Rice Rocket

CAFA is a dancy mix of rippin guitar riffs and electronic sounds & beats.  Written and performed by MX Missile at Morpheus Studios in Canada.  Produced and mixed by Robeter Productions in Toronto. Vocal by Amber Boucher of Urban Divide.  Like many of MX Missile's tracks, it's hard to define it in any single genre.  House... trance...  rock?   What ever it is.... we hope it's an enjoyable listen.

CAFA

original recording of the song "I Forget" recorded and performed live by mx missile as a 4 piece band with e-drums, bass, guitar and live-pa/synth/guitar.    this song does not follow any specific genre, but takes influences from many.  epic guitar hero riffs, house beats, symphonic compositions make for an epic audio journey.

The Algorithm (feat. MidiPunk)

This one was one of my first releases a few years ago under the TexMex Shaman project.  I was beginning to develop the dreamy, tripped out, yet still rockin guitar style that I've worked towards and am still exploring.   

It's still a cool listen I think. It has a big breakaway section that will detach you from the experience and then it kicks back in with a wah guitar solo that's pretty far out 

This was my first tune where I added lyrics and used samples of words to create the story

Enjoy The OASPM on bass and behind the mix!


Ooohhhh
Oh my, oh my Lordy 
Heeyyyy yeah
Hello 
Come with me 
Ahhhh!
*cough
Ohhhh ?
Yeah yay!
No?
Feel it? 
I am
No?
Hello 
Ahhh
I can see it 
No?
I can see it 
No? 
(Please pass it down)
Place me inside 
(Please be insane) 
Please pass it down
*cough
Hello 
Oh my, oh my Lordy 
Ooom bare bom bare
oom bare biso rare 
boom baby

Roll Over Matryoshka

Roll over Matryoshka (feat: The OASPM)

We hope you enjoy this instrumental version of our song Rise.  It may surprise you to know that, other than the computer-generated drum sounds,  there are no keyboards or synthesisers: all of the sounds were created with electric and bass guitars!

Rise  (Instrumental)

Rise - (INSTRUMENTAL)

I'll finish E-Ruizzo project with a conceptual LP album: 4 songs about 'Arctica Point'. I imagined it amid rotation axis, geographic north and magnetic pole, and I located it on dry land !! Then I draw the cover art.

This opening track tells the decision of leaving this annoying present by travelling to that magical place. The following ones tell the trip and life there.

Translated lyrics will explain it with more detail:

EXPEDICIÓN (EL MUNDO SE HACE PEQUEÑO)  /  EXPEDITION (THE WORLD GETS SMALL)

Cansado de vivir en un mundo que se hace pequeño,  /  Tired of living in a world which gets small,
como ratas nos movemos en nuestro agujero.  /  like rats we move in our hole.

Cierro los párpados para no verlo,  /  I close my eyelids so as not to see it,
pero hay demasiadas cosas feas detrás de ellos.  /  but there are too many ugly things behind them.

Con los ojos cerrados veo mis recuerdos,  /  With my eyes closed I see my memories,
veo el presente que vivo y no quiero verlo.  /  I see the present I live in and I don’t want to see it.

Con los ojos cerrados no dejo de pensarlo,  /  With my eyes closed I can’t stop thinking about it,
tengo que ir a algún sitio donde olvidarlo.  /  I must go somewhere to forget it.

Partiremos hacia donde los recuerdos se olvidan,  /  We will leave for where memories are forgotten,
donde el frío congela el dolor de la vida,  /  where cold freezes the pain of life,
donde el hielo y la nieve nos protege del hombre,  /  where ice and snow protect us from mankind,
donde el cuerpo y el alma se purifican.  /  where body and soul are purified.

Tenlo todo preparado para nuestra expedición.  /  Get everything ready for our expedition.
Formemos una expedición ártica,  /  Let’s form an Arctic expedition,
Tenlo todo preparado para nuestra expedición.  /  Get everything ready for our expedition.
Formemos una expedición ártica,   /  Let’s form an Arctic expedition,
formemos una expedición ártica  /  let’s form an Arctic expedition

Ártica…  /  Arctica…
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.

Partiremos hacia donde el reloj no gira.  /  We’ll leave for where the clock doesn’t go round.
Partiremos hacia donde el tiempo no pasa,  /  We’ll leave for where time doesn’t go by,
al lugar donde seis meses sólo duran un día.  /  for the place where six months only last one day.

Viviendo en un mundo que se hace pequeño,  /  Living in a world which gets small,
como ratas nos movemos en nuestro agujero.  /  like rats we move in our hole.
Con los ojos cerrados no dejo de pensarlo,  /  With my eyes closed I can’t stop thinking about it,
tengo que ir a algún sitio donde olvidarlo.  /  I must go somewhere to forget it.

Ártica…  /  Arctica…
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.

Esperar no es lo único que haremos allí.  /  To wait is not the only thing we’ll do there.
Sabes que no es fácil sobrevivir,  /  You know it’s not easy to survive,
cuando no hay nada que te empuje a seguir.  /  when there’s nothing pushing you on.

Expedición (El mundo se hace pequeño)

2nd quarter of the album and titled for Ellesmere Island (see my map), it describes the hard final stage of the expedition to the 'Arctica Point', and first effects felt when getting closer, for example odd rhythms ;)

Translated lyrics explain it with more detail, again:

ELLESMERE (AVANZANDO EN EL HIELO)  /  ELLESMERE (MOVING FORWARD ON THE POLAR ICE)

Avanzando en el hielo polar,  /  Moving forward on the polar ice,
mi trineo se desliza hacia ese lugar…  /  my sleigh slides towards that place…
… aunque mi brújula loca está  /  … although my compass is crazy
desde más de cien kilómetros atrás.  /  from more than a hundred kilometers behind.

El sol me guiará,  /  The sun will guide me,
mi corazón me guiará.  /  my heart will guide me.
La aurora boreal me guiará.  /  Aurora borealis will guide me.

Los vientos polares me llevarán,  /  The polar winds will carry me,
los terribles vientos polares me empujarán.  /  the terrible polar winds will push me.
No tiene pérdida el lugar  /  There’s no missing to the place
donde se producen todas las singularidades físicas.  /  where all physical singularities happen.

Avanzando en el hielo polar,  /  Moving forward on the polar ice,
mi trineo se guía solo hacia ese lugar  /  my sleigh guides itself towards that place
y aunque mis perros no lo saben,  /  and though my dogs don’t know it,
esta brújula no cesa de girar.  /  this compass doesn’t stop spinning.

Voy cada vez más deprisa  /  I go faster and faster
arrastrado por mis perros,  /  dragged by my dogs,
acelero, voy cayendo…  /  I accelerate, I’m falling…

Cerca del Punto Ártica  /  Close to the Arctica Point
el tiempo empieza a correr.  /  time starts to run.
Cerca del Punto Ártica  /  Close to the Arctica Point
dejo de envejecer, ¡dejo de envejecer!  /  I stop getting old, I stop getting old!

Ellesmere (Avanzando en el hielo)

Once settled in Artica Point, almost frozen, I watch the world happening fast, and I tell you about by singing five verses with different vocal styles, a main instrumental theme in progress all along, and some bits of the other songs in the album to keep it conceptual ;)

Letra  /  Translated Lyrics:

DESDE AQUÍ (HISTORIA CONTEMPORÁNEA)  /  FROM HERE (CONTEMPORARY HISTORY)

Ahora que estoy aquí congelado,  /  Now I’m frozen here,
observo el mundo por internet y radio.  /  I watch the world on internet and radio.
Todo sucede ahí abajo tan rápido,  /  Everything happens so fast down there,
que se aprecian claramente los cambios,  /  that changes are clearly appreciated,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Con mis constantes vitales al mínimo,  /  With my vital signs down to a minimum,
como viviendo una película,  /  like living in a movie,
soy capaz de comprender el mecanismo  /  I am able to understand the mechanism
de la evolución de nuestra civilización,  /  of the evolution of our civilization,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

El frío que congela mi cuerpo  /  The cold that freezes my body
… … no me permite llorar,  /  … … doesn’t allow me to cry,
pero mi corazón sigue caliente muy adentro, en algún lugar,  /  but my heart is still warm deep inside, somewhere,
y puedo al menos entristecerme por lo que veo al mirar  /  and I can at least feel sad about what I see when I look
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Ahora que lo comprendo todo  /  Now when I understand everything,
entiendo que todos somos iguales,  /  I realize we’re all the same,
que sentimos lo mismo aunque ninguno lo sabe.  /  and we feel the same although no one knows it.
Desde aquí me identifico con cada hombre,  /  From here I feel identified with every man,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Desde aquí me alegro de no estar ahí abajo.  /  From here I’m glad not being down there.
Esperaré a ver qué pasa dentro de cien años.  /  I’ll wait and see what happens a hundred years from now.
Mi cuerpo apenas será un poco más viejo,  /  My body will hardly be a little older,
pero sí cumpliré siglo y medio de sabiduría y tristeza,  /  but I will get a century and a half of wisdom and sadness,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Desde aquí (Historia Contemporánea)

I am a frozen statue, watching seasons come and go, feeling changes, doing nothing, forever...
Last movement of the rock symphony, where I pay tribute to, and play, my mom's spanish guitar.
Main theme (bass E1-A1...E1-A1-E2...), appears all along the album, and also main themes of other 3 movements sound here as refrains (Vienen y van / Hora tras hora) which are thus sung over 4 different musics ;) E-Ruizzo project is finished, what's to come?... below translated lyrics.

SE NOTA (PRIMAVERA EN EL POLO)  /  ONE CAN FEEL IT (SPRING AT THE POLE)

Se nota… después de seis meses  /  One can feel it… after six months
el sol amanece y se nota…  /  the sun dawns and one can feel it …

En el despertar del zorro ártico,  /  In the awakening of the arctic fox,
en el fluir de los glaciares se nota.  /  in the flow of the glaciers one can feel it.
En el nacimiento de icebergs,  /  At the birth of icebergs,
en los acantilados poblados de aves.  /  on the cliffs populated by birds.

Vienen y van, no me hacen caso,  /  They come and go, they don’t listen to me,
soy sitio de paso.  /  I’m a transit point.
Hora tras hora, los meses pasan,  /  Hour after hour, months pass through,
un sitio de paso soy.  /  I’m a transit point.

Se nota… como cada mañana,  /  One can feel it… as every morning,
que la primavera ha llegado al Polo.  /  that spring has come to the Pole.

Se nota…  /  One can feel it…

En la migración del narval,  /  In the migration of narwhal,
en el aliento del viento,  /  in the breath of the wind,
en las nubes que huyen de él, se nota.  /  in the clouds that run away from it, one can feel it.

En el canto de las sirenas,  /  In the singing of mermaids,
en las inflorescencias de hielo,  /  in the inflorescences of ice,
en el paso del noroeste se nota.  /  in the Northwest Passage one can feel it.

Vienen y van, no me hacen caso,  /  They come and go, they don’t listen to me,
soy para todos un sitio de paso,  /  I am a transit point for all of them,
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy),  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am),
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).

Vienen y van…  /  They come and go…

¡¡¡ La frecuencia diaria del proceso estacional  /  The daily frequency of the seasonal process
me permite hacer estudios estadísticos !!!  /  allows me to do statistical studies !!!
Ja ja ja ja ja ja jaaaa !!!  /  Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaa !!!

Vienen y van…  /  They come and go…

Hora tras hora, los meses pasan,  /  Hour after hour, months pass through, 
nuevos migrantes, nunca se cansan,  /  new migrants, they never get tired,
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).

Hora tras hora…  /  Hour after hour…

Se nota…  /  One can feel it…

Now all 44 songs I wrote with mom's guitar in my university years have been arranged and posted, 
after 8 years of E-Ruizzo project, which I'm about to finish. I plan to stay here, commenting as 
usual, and post future and still not scheduled songs from another profile. That's all, no alarm!

Maybe you played this version before? https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/se-nota-piano-version

Se nota (Primavera en el Polo)

This is a track about nothing, but sound, Lol

Ten Thousand Light Years To Nowhere

Rainbow -  - Output - Stereo Out

Candle Light Madness

Composed and performed by Admiral Krank. Drums by Mo Sheen.

Son of Egghead

This track is inspired by an old piece from 1982, which we played in my third Band. At that time we were enthusiastic and wanted to make music as a living. But we all ended up somewhere else, only our singer made it, as he joined Pink Cream 69 and later Helloween, where they are playing the big festivals till today :-)
I myself had stopped playing at all, focused on my profession and touched only the acoustic guitar from time to time. My Marshall JCM 800 and my Fender were becoming more and more living room Accessoires and were nicely looking hanging untouched at the wall. In 2015 my son woke up music in me again, when he came to me playing a song he had created with GarageBand on an iPad. Then the guitar flame started to burn again and finally the result you can listen here. I hope you enjoy it.

Fehlalarm Suite Part 1

Fehlalarm Suite Part1

Escape Control Delete (Gong) ft. Pablo Valotta Bass and Keys

This is the second Part, where more the bass is in the foreground than the guitar. I am playing a Fender Jazzbass Deluxe with active pickups, which gives it a nice crunchy sound.

Fehlalarm Suite Part 2

Fehlalarm Suite Part2

Under A Thin Red Sun

Cardiacs cover. 
I just had to, warts and all. I got blisters on me fingers! 

Following around to see a life that's never in
Always calling itself on its own phone
Though its never quite at home in the world today
See it to arranging the day
Prepared in its own special way
With added loving care
Though its not been there since yesterday
Looking so hard for a cause
And it don't care what it is
And never really ever seeing eye to eye
Though it doesn't really mind
Perhaps that's why
It never really saw
Never really saw
Saw
It never really...
Following around to see a life that's never in
Always calling itself on its own phone
Though its never quite at home in the world today
