"The Paradise Beside Me"

I turned the title poem of my book 'We the Wild Seas' into a lullaby. I sing in the voice of all the wild seas on all the planets, singing you to sleep.
The sound is very, very influenced by the sound on the Victorialand album by Cocteau Twins. The artwork is my illustration for the poem.

Merry Psychic Tuesday!

This episode of PTR finds us conducting a Sit+Listen session, in which we experience a masterpiece of an album in its entirety! February’s icy nights are perfect for taking in Cocteau Twins’ brooding and nihilistic debut album Garlands, which in light of their entire canon was a bit of a grim, but beautiful false-start. Garlands takes the listener trudging through a frigid netherworld, with Elizabeth Fraser’s eerie trill guiding us along, weaving codes and invocations throughout.

As always,

You’re Circe
and i’ve already eaten
i’m thirsty
and You’re possessed

blood and leeches coexist
eat the cherry leave the pit
when i do anything for You
trade my spirit for a wish
not meant to take what we can get
i just burn myself

my words weave
truths and lies i sharpened
dark magicks
defile Your holy garden 

breathe You in, smoke and mist
a martyr and an egoist
now i can’t tell which is which
who’s the pig, Odysseus?

Anything

LYRICS
If one star had strayed, if one door had closed
Two souls spinning wide in the endless ocean 
The Universe held back, it knew when to start 
Every trial is a lesson shaping the heart

If one star had strayed, if one door had closed
We’d have never touched, never even known 
But the world aligned in a single beat 
Everything I was, everything I’d been through 
Was just the road that led me home to you

If one star had strayed, if one door had closed
Two souls spinning wide in the endless ocean
The Universe held back, it knew when to start 
Every trial is a lesson shaping the heart

IF ONE STAR HAD STRAYED

Everything is energy. Music is vibration. Music can influence everything, can change your mood, can heal you, can make you dance. It's a co-creative process for me, me and the muse, making love to each other's ears.

I incorporate various tunings to create multidimensional soundscapes.

Soundtracking scenes we make up with songs we like. First and third Thursday of the month on n10.as

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.

I am an artist, writer and musician from Hastings, UK.  I make slightly wonky acoustic folk-pop, often with unusual guitar tunings.
I record my own songs, musical versions of my own poetry and poems by my favourite poets such as Rilke and Yeats. 
Musically my current obsession is Judee Sill.
But it always comes back to the music of my childhood- The Cocteau Twins, The Waterboys, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush.

“Anyone having trouble getting to, or staying, asleep should proceed with caution when playing The Mortal Prophets’ debut album around bedtime. The demonic intentions implied by the album’s name and defined by John Beckmann … coil each selection in menacing directions, bringing fresh, often frightening twists to these standards. Be aware - when you engulf yourself in these riveting, uncompromising performances. They are not for the squeamish.”
- American Songwriter

The Mortal Prophets blur the boundaries between reality and reverie, crafting soundscapes that pulse with cinematic intensity and lyrical mysticism. Led by enigmatic frontman and songwriter John Beckmann, the group emerged in 2022 from New York’s eclectic underground with their debut EP, “Stomp the Devil,” swiftly capturing attention for their innovative blend of blues-infused psychedelia, dream pop textures, and ambient atmospherics.

Known for their lush orchestrations and haunting vocals, The Mortal Prophets channel diverse influences—from the dark romanticism of Leonard Cohen and the poetic introspection of Nick Drake, to the avant-garde experimentation reminiscent of Brian Eno. Their music feels simultaneously timeless and deeply contemporary, echoing classic motifs while consistently exploring uncharted sonic terrains.

Their discography has rapidly expanded, encompassing seven full-length albums, including the acclaimed “French Summer,” featuring Anaïs de Nerval. Described as a hallucinatory journey steeped in European cinematic nostalgia and analog warmth, the record showcased Beckmann’s distinctive lyrical storytelling paired with a dreamlike ambiance. The collaboration hinted at deeper artistic mysteries, inviting listeners into a world both surreal and profoundly evocative.

Through their evolving discography, Beckmann and his collaborators continue to defy easy classification, positioning themselves as architects of an otherworldly sonic mythology—one that resonates deeply with those drawn to the enigmatic fringes of modern music.
