Complaints

The pad and lead were recorded in one take each, in succession, then the drums added at the end. I am very inspired by Vangelis and the Blade Runner theme track as well as Deadmau5's "Re_Jaded" - It's like if those two things had a baby. Enjoy.

Jaded

The Cave Made Out Of Fear (Long Form)

A long jam session in three stages of immersion into the music. I don't know if the immersion increases or decreases or deceases. We do it for pleasure and for the sake of dedication.

COMPLETE LINER NOTES HERE---> https://mystictapedeck.com/bards/the-clock-of-the-four-winds/

The clock of the four winds is a tall-case grandfather style clock originally assembled in 1710 by an Italian astronomer and mathematician named Ricco Foscari, a direct patrilineal descendant of famed explorer, vintner and occultist, Cosimo Foscari. The magical properties of the clock were such that when its hands were moved and positioned in certain configurations, it would trigger remote viewing events which would be projected onto the glass panel cover. The clock was also rumored to serve as a sort of “beacon” used for summoning an other-dimensional being named “Desdinova” who acted as a sort of intermediary between detached yet interconnected causal timelines.


LYRICS:
--------------------------------------
The chariots lie broken exhausted from war
The wheels rolled off in the mud
In the morning all good things are good
The sun warms up the mud

Stillness is raptured in all its arising
The seeds grow up from the mud
In the morning the dawn weighs a feather
The insects hatch from the mud

The hunger for sunlight draws flies to the surface
The babies wake up in the mud
In the morning from green murky waters
To wiggle around in the mud

Bones growing hollow, the gills turn to lungs
Gasping for breath in the mud
The fins turn to legs the scales turn to vellum
As feathers shake loose from the mud

Fly high, all you flying high birds 
While the warm western winds are beneath you
Oh you soaring high birds
The sky coming down to greet you
We’re all dying to meet you

The bird, the great swooping bird
Beak open, gobbling gold
Oh you soaring high bird
The north winds are growing cold
Feathers flush with colors bold

Now pretend you are the sun
Feathers flush with colors bold…
Now pretend you are the sun

The southern winds, the washboard clouds
Diving daringly during the day
Teetering upon the tip of the tree
The seasons will have their way
Tail feathers turning to gray

Scatter little birds, oh you tiny little birds
The easterly light is encroaching
Seeds spilled upon the ground
 With the end of the autumn approaching
And the seasons must have their way…

Now pretend you are the sun
And the seasons must have their way…
Now pretend you are the sun 

And the seasons must have their way…

Rider’s final horse has ridden
Puzzle finished, last piece hidden
Oysters chatter on evening tide:
 “I’m Desdinova and I confide,
I am the one you warned me of
I am the leak and the long lost love
And I am the one who will never lie
Deathless, I may never die
By lizard lens and crystal rope
You know me by my telescope”
Scattering stars in hand she shouts:
“The play is what it’s all about
Behind the clock with arms stretched tall
The script is on the western wall
Behold the light that never warms
You’ve been warned, I am the storm”

So raise up your chalice and toast to the moon
And sing to the stars as they flicker and loom
O! Irony! O! Tragedy!
Aching knees don’t fail me now

We slayed the vile dragon who lived in the skies
We bathed in its blood and we pickled its eyes
O! Devilry! O! Revelry!
If my friends could see me now

O! Bravery! Camaraderie!

The last lotus eaters recline in the sun
The race to return  has been finally run
Finality! Causality!
Swept away on swaggering swans

[歌詞]
夜明け前の highway
風がまだ冷たい
Glass の中 shimmer light
You and me, stayin' high

遠くへ流れる skyline
I feel the rhythm inside
言葉より deepな vibe
Take me on your midnight drive

Stay with me, don’t fade away
この瞬間 hold on, stay
時を超え dancing night
Heartbeats synchronize

(Oh baby) ride the wave  
(Oh honey) feel the same  

キャンドル越し silhouette
微笑む横顔に
Every sound is melody
When you whisper close to me

Silver moon above the bay
照らす影と想い出
We’re floating in slow motion
In a timeless ocean

Stay with me, don’t fade away
夢の中 sway and play
この夜が endless flight
Shine in my inner light

見えない未来を trust
Hands up to the rising dusk
心の声は free
Baby, come and follow me

Stay with me, don’t fade away
Love is more than words we say
抱きしめた瞬間に
We found our melody

(Stay stay stay)
(In my heart, you remain)
(永遠の rhythm)

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

A Multimedia Puzzle-Story Of An Immortal Being's Struggle To Define And Exert Their Will Upon A Wholly Deterministic And Ambivalent Multiverse, And The Strange Cult Who Loves Them.

--------

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."

Dan Dreifort's current bands: Synth Band Dot Com and Indelible Beancurd run the gamut from golden crap to things slightly crappier than crap. He uploads noises here for his bandmates to hear. Or not. You? You can hear too. Thanks for listening. Check the links for older, even crappier music from Dan.

音楽制作が趣味のベーシストです。楽曲の基本コンセプトは、グルーヴィーなリズム、優しいメロディー、そして聴き飽きない没入感です。様々な音楽テイストをミックスしています。現在はジェネレーティブAIを活用していますが、2025年にはDAWにてトラックパートを差し替え、生楽器をRECしオリジナリティを確立する予定です。もし私たちの音楽を気に入っていただけたら、フォローしていただけると嬉しいです。ありがとうございました。

I am a Bassist whose hobby is music production. The basic concept of my music is groovy rhythms, gentle melodies, and an immersive experience that you will never get tired of listening to. I mix a variety of genres. We currently utilize generative AI, but in 2025 we plan to replace track parts in DAW and REC live instruments to establish originality. If you like our music, we hope you will follow us. Thank you very much.

I post multiple versions of songs made from my lyric poems in different genres so those interested can follow the evolution of lyrics through their iterations in various genres.  I aspire to write lyric poetry to touch people, either to make them happy, or to touch their sadness and let them know they are not alone.
