Calming Life Form

One of my earliest influences on Soundcloud was/is an amazing artist known as BoxTox (@user-247600493). I've always loved his really quirky and creative music which is so fun to listen to because of all the subtle details (for example, unusual percussion, and using quite low air flow in his sax, clarinet, and flute playing, and original rhythms and melodies). 

This tune is my tribute to BoxTox, where I tried to bring in instruments and playing style influenced by his music. It was a lot of fun working on this, especially since I got the chance to practice with the really excellent VST brush drum sounds, even if it's a little busy at times! Of course, I couldn't help myself and smooshed in a middle section that's very typically me, whether it fits in or not!   :) 

All instruments are played using my keyboard, except the flute bits which are played live with a real flute.

Instruments:
- upright bass
- electric guitar
- drums & percussion
- alto & tenor sax
- clarinet
- bassoon
- flute
- organ
- violins
- cello

Best with headphones; thanks for stopping by!

Benjamin Dantès - Fahrenheit

Christian Devienne a composé la musique et Cab les paroles

Au-dessus du volcan
Tout fout le camp
Tout fout le camp

Y’a pas qu’au Vatican
Qu’il y a des sièges vacants
Qu’tout fout le camp

Moi j’étais pratiquant
Peut-être un peu trop croyant
Sûr un peu trop confiant
Quand tu as foutu le camp
Tout fout le camp

C’est pas que j'm'y attendais
Parce que j’m’y attendais pas
Moi à nous j’y croyais
Toi visiblement pas

Quand on n’a pas la foi
C’est souvent qu’ça dure pas
J’peux pas dire qu’j’t’en veux pas
Penché au-dessus de l’Etna

Au-dessus du volcan
Tout fout le camp
Tout fout le camp

Y’a pas qu’au Vatican
Qu’il y a des remplaçants
Qu’tout fout le camp

Moi j’étais pratiquant
Peut-être un peu non voyant
J’croyais qu’on avait le temps
Quand tu as foutu le camp
Tout fout le camp

Maint’nant j’sais plus quoi faire
J’ai plus aucun repère
J’t’imagine en enfer
Avec moi sous les fers
Mais c’est toi Lucifer

Qu’est-ce qu’il fout ce volcan
Parait qu’il est vivant
Ça serait bien qu’il explose
Qu’j’puisse passer à autre chose



Au-dessus du volcan

Cast of characters:
Saskiagoethals-- @saskiagoethals --Saskia — vocals, lyrics, and production
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar, bass, melodica, beats, mix, production, and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- piano, organ, and composition

This song started with Tez coming up with a heavy riddim and monster bass to go with it, over which he laid his clockwork rhythm guitar. He shared it with Josh, who came up with the piano and organ parts. It was pretty much done, but we wanted vocals on it, so it languished on the digital shelf for almost half a year. 
  That is until Saskia heard and worked with Tez on a different open collab on his page. He then offered her this one. She downloaded it, added her superb vocals, and sent it back to the other two to review. They were blown away by her creativity and skill as a singer, and are very grateful to her for reviving the project. 
  When it was all laid down, Tez mixed it expertly, as always. Saskia took his mix, sped it up and adjusted her vocals, too. She is a very competent producer, as well.
  Tez and Josh are big dub fans from way back, and this is the latest in a couple year running series of collabs in the genre from the two of them. They are very grateful to Saskia for doing such a wonderful job of completing the song. Look for her in future collabs, both with Tez and Josh, as well as with their band, The Eclectic Collective. We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by Saskiagoethals: 

I went to the love doctor
to shine his light on my loneliness
he promised to fill the emptiness
'cause
my love is gone and since then i stayed alone
my bed is empty my feet are cold
and i don’t wanna feel already old
The love doctor said come with me
the night is young and so are we
So he kept his promise
And he warmed me with his kiss
inject me with your love
i don’ want my love back
i don’t want a quick fix i want my love doctor

The Love Doctor - with Saskiagoethals and Entheogenic Psychonaut

Story time. February seems to bring out my dark side.  Here we have a very bad man about to have his sentence fulfilled. In it, he will receive his final "song". The same "song" that his victims received. 

Lyrics;
Piper
I pay the Devil's dues
This Piper's lost the tune
Like the many souls who sang my song
I leave this world too soon

I'm not seeking mercy
Not asking to be saved
I'm not looking for forgiveness
For deeds deemed depraved

The doctor stands beside me
His hand rests on my head
Strapped in, I can not move
As I lay upon the bed

The singers sang the Piper's song
And I set those voices free
I was writing songs days one and two
And I played them on day three

Now bring your music doctor
I look forward to your tune
Inject me with a melody
'til my beating heart's consumed
Not quite a requiem
But I accept this honorarium
For the music that I gave them
The music moving through me
From my shoulders to my hands
I feel the final chorus
Banishing the damned

Darkness overcomes me
I receive the Devil's kiss
No sight or sound or focus
As I sink through the abyss

I pay the Devil's dues
This Piper's lost his song
Yet beating in the darkest hearts
The Piper's music carries on

The Piper

My technician is no longer with me as he traveled on.  This is a song written by Jim Reedy and sung by Brandon Bailey.  One of my VERY favorites of theirs.  Please enjoy!!!!
