A live performance in our living room ( remixed to give an underwater feel) of our version of Loudon Wainwright's "The Swimming Song" from his "Attempted Moustache" album (1973.) I'm getting so fluent at the bass and djembe drum now I can play both of them one handed...


This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
And I moved my arms around
I moved my arms around

This summer I swam in the ocean
And I swam in a swimming pool
Salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes
I'm a self-destructive fool
I'm a self-destructive fool

This summer I did the backstroke
And you know that that's not all
I did the breast stroke and the butterfly
And the old Australian crawl
The old Australian crawl

This summer I swam in a public place
And a reservoir, to boot
At the latter I was informal
At the former I wore my suit
I wore my swimming suit,

This summer I did swan dives
And jackknifes for you all
And once when you weren't looking
I did a cannonball
I did a cannonball

This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
And I moved my arms around
I moved my arms around

Please, do leave your feedback in the comment. I'm grateful for any words of criticism or appreciation. And if you liked the track, you can give it a heart or share. I will greatly appreciate it. 

A simple piece made with Phrygian b4 scale, which is a mode of harmonic major. It is a bit minimalistic but I wanted to make something simple and relaxing. And yes, the bass is just a long drone set on a single note.

Phrygian Vibe

The snow-capped mountains, ice-capped seas,
The rivers, forests, bees;
Fjords and deserts, tropics and poles,
The herds and flocks and shoals;

Hear greed-is-God merchants of death
At limits of all breath,
Trump, “Follow Me Me to the end of the world!
Come down into The Flood.”

("State of the Ark" © Gareth Calway 2024)

The first tune we sing to is a medieval church scale melody in the Phrygian mode composed by Thomas Tallis, originally as a setting for Psalm 2, arr Peacock's Tale.
Lead vocal, Echo Strum Acoustic guitar - Maz
Lead vocal, voice, Alien Waves Bass, Drums, Harmonium, Recorder, field recordings - Gaz.
The second part with the voice over is a rhythm section of acoustic guitar, drums and bass over which chord changes you could sing Greensleeves.
The voice over is extracts from the writings of Meher Baba, a spiritual Master of of Persian ancestry born in Poona, India, a discourse he called "The New Humanity." 
We feel both parts of this track - the fear and foreboding for the planet and our species of "State of The Ark" and the sublime optimism of the Meher Baba discourse. As he puts it "Great forces of destruction ARE afoot and SEEM to be dominate at the moment." (our emphasis).
The image is Hokusai's "In the Well of the Great Wave of Kanagawa" which seems to illustrate both the impending doom and the ultimate faith in humanity to overcome it.

The New Humanity

The sixth song of my major modes album is the most threatening and uneasing of them all, thanks to the phrygian mode being used. Does it make you remember a game boss theme? 

Phrygian

little alt rock track i did to discover how i can work with a phrygian mode. some moody and dark atmosphere made me a little experimental. hope you like it.

forever, maybe

Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and dissolve into the frequency of love beyond form. Transcendence — Eternal Love lives in the space between memory and spirit—where connection isn’t tethered to time or outcome, but radiates on a soul-deep level. Composed in E Major with a Phrygian twist, the sound glows with warmth while drifting through a dreamlike haze. It’s love that transforms you, whether it stays or simply passes through like light.

15/100 ~ Eternal

Mental Heavy Rock Guitar/Drums Phrygian Mode

Ashes of Eden to melancholijny, filmowy bit rapowy, który łączy emocjonalną głębię z miejską energią.
Kompozycja otwiera się subtelnymi motywami fortepianowymi, smyczkami i eterycznymi chórami, tworząc klimat pełen refleksji i napięcia. W tle słychać ambientowe tekstury wiatru, które nadają przestrzeni i tajemniczości.
Beat oparty jest na mieszance skal arabskich, durowych i frygijskich, co nadaje mu egzotyczny charakter i emocjonalny kontrast.
W miarę rozwoju utworu pojawia się lo-fi chill vibe z delikatnym delayem i pogłosem, który płynnie przechodzi w rytmikę trapową — mocne basy, ciasne hi-haty i perkusja uliczna nadają mu groove i energię.
Brassowe akcenty dodają filmowego ciężaru, a przerywane efekty wiatru i przestrzenne pady przeplatają się z warstwami ambientowego fortepianu i smyczków.
Dwa dramatyczne pauzy burzą strukturę, prowadząc do kulminacji z cyberpunkowymi smyczkami, warstwami wiatru i finałowym krzykiem.
Akordeonowe akcenty i złożone arpeggiatory tworzą fuzję lo-fi, orkiestralnego brzmienia i ulicznego vibe’u.

From metal to shop themes, i'm composing it all

I'm a musician and sound artist creating immersive, emotion-driven soundscapes—often in collaboration with plants, textures, and memory. Right now, I'm in the middle of a 100-day challenge to write 100 songs. It's an experiment in letting go of perfection, in showing up daily to create without overthinking. Each track is a little snapshot of a feeling, a space, a thought—unpolished on purpose. I'm here to make music for the joy of it. Thanks for listening.

"I'm a mellow artist, ageing 69. I love and release eclectic music, from post-classical to drone. My fave instrument is the Mellotron."

Così, sinteticamente, di solito mi presento.

In genere compongo musica partendo dal suono delle tastiere, ma il mio vero strumento è il registratore.

O i software di registrazione.

"I was made for loving and making recorded music."

Confido da sempre nel potere evocativo e orfico della musica, nella sua capacità di riconsegnarci a mondi più veri e più giusti, più belli di quelli in cui di solito viviamo.

SoundCloud è la piattaforma musicale che preferisco perché è soprattutto il regno degli ‘amateurs’, di quelli che fanno musica per sé e per gli amici .. come quando da ragazzi si condividevano con gli altri le invenzioni e le creazioni .. io sostanzialmente sono rimasto lì e così .. non sempre, ovviamente, ma spesso ci trovo delle cose che valgono altrettanto - se non di più - rispetto a quelle più affermate e conosciute
