Welcome to the planet TABOOOO.

MUSIC WRITTEN AND RECORDED BY DS 2022-2024.

TRIBUTE to the unforgettable Mike Oldfield and the instrumental genre he invented; vaguely based on the concept of a never heard album, possibly Tubular Bells 4.

INSTRUMENTS: PRS & Schecter electric guitars; Takamine acoustic guitar; various VST synths (e.g., Zebra2, AAS) played via a Yamaha physical keyboard; drum loops, various pedal effects by BOSS and ZOOM.

The roots and origin of the new music is my deep respect for Oldfield, a fantastic instrumentalist and composer. During the recordings, I often tried to imagine what a “forgotten” full-length instrumental from his mid-career would sound like. In particular I had in mind live concerts from the early 80s; a rarity played, a track that Mr. Oldfield somehow decided to never release for mysterious reasons. Call me naive, laugh if you must but this was my line of thoughts while working on this music.

Although a long piece, plenty of material didn't make it into the published track, and it is likely that a calmer "part B" might follow in 2025. 

Special Thanks to Mike, Mark and Theuns for feedback on early drafts.

(I might remix it at some point, my ears are blinded at this point! I admit there might be some sunspots, and at a few passages I seem to be unable to locate the master tapes. That's how I work, I get lost into the myriad of files and permutations of the material - for better or worse! Another issue is that the new SC seem to process my .wav in an unknown way, sounding a tad less dynamic here)

T A B O O O O :::: (DS 2024)

Lyrics:

When I was younger, they told me to stand in line,  
To bow my head, to follow their design.  
But I could hear the distant drums,  
Calling out, “Your time will come.”  
  
I walked through streets where the lamplight dies,  
Where whispers grow and the silence lies.  
Beneath the cracks, a chorus swells,  
A symphony that time compels.  
The weight of all their rules was mine to bear,  
But now I rise—I’m not their heir.  

And I can see the turning tide,  
The spark of hope we’ll never hide.  
So lift your voice, let the walls collide,  
We’ll stand, we’ll stand, we’ll fight tonight!  

Break the chains, we’ll shatter the steel!  
We’re the roar, the cry they’ll feel!  
A march for the lost, a hymn for the brave,  
We’ll find the light no one could save!  
Sing it loud, let the banners wave—  
This is the anthem of the unafraid!  

They said the brave don’t last, but they’re wrong,  
Our hearts beat louder than their song.  
I’ve seen the faces turned to stone,  
But we are the voice of the overthrown.  
Through the fog, through the fight, through the cold night’s glare,  
We’ll find a way; we’re already there.  

Here we are, beneath the sky,  
A legion born to question why.  
Not just surviving—we are alive!  
We’ll climb, we’ll climb, to the great divine.  
The fire burns, and the flags are torn,  
But from the ruins, a world is reborn!  

Break the chains, we’ll shatter the steel!  
We’re the roar, the cry they’ll feel!  
A march for the lost, a hymn for the brave,  
We’ll find the light no one could save!  
Sing it loud, let the banners wave—  
This is the anthem of the unafraid!  

Oh-oh-oh-oh! Can you hear the sound?  
It’s the clash of the free breaking holy ground.  
Oh-oh-oh-oh! Raise your voice, take a stand,  
We are the tide, we are the band!  

Now the towers fall, and the streets ignite,  
We’re the lantern flames piercing through the night.  
They’ll write of us in the chapters to come,  
The ones who stood when they said “succumb.”

Lyrics by Hypnomancer (David Stout) copyright 2024

Hello every-world
we wear everywhere
comings, and goings 
and beings, and being
host and hostess 
on the spiral stair

Hello every-when
where I have been there
at the summit, on the top
all seeing, and being
her and him too
in the mirror stare

Couples, Coupled, Coupling
Fond and Fonder, Fondling
Fit or fallow, fan or foe
Rejoice, rejoinder, laugh and glow
a preening pillow laugh and glow

Hello now and Then
it’s good to be agreed again
comings, and goings 
and bringing, and being
Tend, and tender
seen, and seeing

Couples, Coupled, Coupling
Fond and Fonder, Fondling
Fit or fallow, fan or foe
Rejoice, rejoinder, laugh and glow
a preening pillow laugh and glow

Laugh and Glow

Composer of multi-instrumental music, with a preference for longer, progressive and complexly arranged pieces.   

Have played guitar for many years, but I am probably a slightly odd type of guitarist. Not particularily interested in the guitar genre, not too keen on listening to long solos, etc. I don't enjoy playing for people - a party-killer, in short. However, leave me alone with this wonderful tool (or the keyboard, which I play too), and I will start experimenting with it, searching for something to develop. 

Strongly interested in classical music and anything remotely related to that. I want to construct music with a similar structure and complexity, although with other instruments, and in my own way...  
___________________________________________________________

During 2010-2013, I worked on a suite of related pieces, GUITARS PLAYED BY DS, with every sound played on the electric guitar. A major undertaking, and (all-in-all) 45+ minutes long, all complexly related and released in five segments.

During 2014-2015, the main focus was on the full-format 'LONG INSTRUMENTAL', a progressive work with lots of different instruments and sounds, restless and complex. Some sections stand on their own feet: MYSTERY, and FANFARE. 

The 2014-2015 recordings also resulted in two shorter pieces: CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION and CLUSTER OF WARNINGS.

During 2015 I initiated a suite played on classical guitars - GUITAR STRUCTURES. It is a series of slowly changing ideas, a weave of melodies and harmony, the first section out in April 2015 (the 2nd came 2 years later).  

I played guitars on Tolubai's wonderful ambient piece 'MEMORIES' (August 2015).

EARTHSHINE came out in January 2016; a darker and slightly dissonant progressive piece, and one of my personal favorites. So is SILENCE, out 1st July 2016. September 2016: IGNITION  with TOLUBAI and LET THERE BE LIGHT 22th Sept 2016 with PuppyWolf. 

20/11-2016: The OORT CLOUD PROJECT I-IX. An 18+ minutes long progressive synth-based instrumental, with lots of short guitar phrases integrated. Also, the spin-off PASSAGE was released. 

GROTESQUE released too in the end of 2016. The 19th January 2017, I released the sketch OMMA CONTRAPUNCTUS PROJECT. The 4th February 2017, the track '3 WORLDS COLLIDE' was released.

'Guitar Structure No. 2' out in March 2017, took 2 years to complete.

BEST OF 2 WORLDS was released in November 2017, another personal favorite composition.

APPROACHING: an unfinished sketch released 1st April 2018. TAURUS IV released 8th April 2018.

New Years evening 2019, quickly improvising a track: DECADE. Uploaded 23:58 local time. It was a very fun way of ending the year and I used a symbolic art cover with red sweeping in, but I wouldn't have dreamed of what was to come soon.

One main project this year is the SNOWFLAKES VARIATIONS suite; the Prelude was released in January 2020.

8th April 2020: CREATURES RISING was released. CREATURES OF THE RAINFOREST also a spinoff track (released 2021).

In the Lockdown March-April 2020, I recorded 'Era', out of frustration...

5th June 2020: REPORT FROM PLANET THREE, which was initiated 31st May 2019. 

31st July 2020: FORECAST was released. April 2021: SUMMER SNOWFLAKES, a 25 minute long track and perhaps my most ambitious ever. 

OCTOBER 22, 2021: OUTPOST. Was hell of a lot work behind this, which started out as the "Conquerer" project already in 2017. 

APRIL 28, 2022: The Disclosure (Part I).
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022: PEACE GUITARS. A track very dear to me, much of it written outdoors at the shores with my lovely dog with me. 

OCTOBER 6, 2023: SHAMBOLIC GUITARS.  Intensive recordings!

DECEMBER 7, 2024: TABOOOO released. (Oldfield Tribute, started out as an experiment to impute what Tubular Bells 4 might have sounded as. But it took its own life and became a very different story)

Notes on Delivery

The Budding enthusiast that comes, by design or chance, to discover this collection shall, upon Preliminary Survey of its Contents, find him or herself confronted by divers  ‘Fulsome Bloomings, Abandoned Airs and Declamations’, all, indeed, allegedly composed by Messrs Drust & Erskine. 

It is, however, to be Anticipated that the fledgeling aesthete may, whilst hopefully being familiar with the general Thrust of this or that Song, find him or herself Uncertain as how best to approach the True Form of the Musical Pieces, and, moreover, how best to discern the Melody and Intonation: indeed, how to Discover, and consequently Interpret, the Leitmotif. 

Be then reassur'd that the Composers are devotees of Cantabile, and each Song in this canon has been thoroughly Mulled Over and Subjected to Rigorous and Demanding attentions. By this Means, Songs, that may, upon Inspection of the grounds upon which they were first Inspired having revealed a requirement for overly-exacting Polytonality or Interval that may Induce a certain Reticence, have subsequently been Hammer'd into a Shape that Messrs Drust and Erskine aver is Deliverable by one Mode or another. 

Accordingly, Messrs D & E press you oil your lung, fill your chest, loosen your tongue, and hold forth in as fulsome a voice as your maker may have designed for you, and relish every nuance of counterpoint, every flourish and every roundelay here afforded for your delectation.
