Teth Sin finally seems to be back with a cool wicked track called Gazelle, featuring his friend Luna on vocals/recitation. She decorated with her vivid poetry one of those creepy, dark soundscapes I've been working on these last few months. I sincerely thank her for this amazing contribution, and for her active involvement in the whole creative process of this title. Thanks for taking the time to listen to it.

Uncrowned queens, warrior princes,
the tiger flies in the air.
The flag howls in the cold of the sad west, and blond curls win.
The panther's lost the game, watching the sun.
The Gazelle weeps on her broken leg.
And she's alive

Gazelle | feat. Luna

Always using my Iphone to record my song ideas..sorry!

This is a collaboration with Taylor Brysiewicz.  Upon discovering an adequately functioning upright piano in the basement of the conference room at the Banff Centre (where we were both visiting for a conference on Random Algebraic Geometry), we decided to play some improvisational piano duets which led to this collaborative composition.  Taylor had the foresight to take a quick audio memo on his phone where we recorded a few excerpts alongside some commentary about the chord progression.  After returning home from the conference, Taylor turned our fragments into a completed piano part.  I then added a flute part while trying to maintain the impromptu spirit of the original, namely, by locking in some of the improvised phrases from my early takes (as opposed to indulging in my normal habit of making dozens of rounds of revisions).

Sunshine - (Adagio in D minor- Composed by John Murphy)

It will probably be the only piece I ever compose in my life because I’m not a musician and I believe I lack many of the qualities and virtues to be one. So, don’t expect much from me. Still, thank you for your support and for sharing.

🎧 🎹 This is a short piece for piano that started as an experiment and gradually took shape. In memory of the woman whose love and sacrifice made me the man I am—my mother 🌸

🎶 I will forever cherish the memory of her immense happiness in learning a short passage from Beethoven's *Ode to Joy* on the piano. Every night, before going to sleep, she would play those simple yet heartfelt notes. *Alma Edilma* is also a heartfelt tribute to a woman whose essence touched so many hearts 💗❤️💗

Probablemente será la única pieza que componga en mi vida, porque no soy músico y creo que me faltan muchas de las cualidades y virtudes para serlo. Así que no esperen mucho de mí. Aun así, gracias por su apoyo y por compartir.

🎹 Esta es una pequeña pieza para piano que empezó como un experimento y poco a poco fue tomando forma. En memoria de la mujer cuyo amor y sacrificio me convirtieron en el hombre que soy: mi madre 🌸

🎶 Siempre atesoraré el recuerdo de su inmensa felicidad al aprender un breve pasaje del Himno a la Alegría de Beethoven al piano. Cada noche, antes de dormir, tocaba esas notas sencillas pero emotivas. *Alma Edilma* es también un sentido homenaje a una mujer cuya esencia conmovió tantos corazones. 💗❤️💗

Alma Edilma

Note brillanti per evidenziare i momenti più belli dell'esistenza.

I MADE UP THIS SONG, EVERYTHING COME'S FROM YOU
NOW THAT YOUR GONE, THERE'S NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO
AND ALL THE REASON'S, THEY ALL TURN TO ASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY

I MESSED UP OUR LOVE, MESSED UP MY WORLD WITH YOU
IT'S TAKEN SO LONG, TO HOLD ON TO SOMETHING NEW
THERE'S ALL THE FEELING'S, AND ALL THE BURNING CASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY
AND ALL THE REASON'S TO SAY, I HAD TO LET YOU GO

(BREAK)

I LOOK BACK ON LIFE, I HAD NO CONTROL OF YOU
NOW FEELING ALIVE AND NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO
AND ALL THE REASON'S, THEY ALL TURN TO ASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY

IF I HAD MY TIME AGAIN
I WOULD NOT SURLY BE CALLING YOU MY FRIEND,  NO

THERE'S ALL THE FEELING'S, AND ALL THE BURNING CASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY
AND ALL THE REASON'S TO SAY, I HAD TO LET YOU GO

2018! Fresh new track. Been holding onto this one for a minute wondering if I should post it. But i feel its fitting for the times.

Down & Blue

Greed
By Tainted Icarus

Lyrics:
Open my eyes
Only to find
I've been lost in the race
And left somewhere behind

I reach out for you
But there's no reaching back
Gotta keep your place in line
For the pat on the back

For the greediness and all the pain it brings
The quiet and hidden hands pulling all the strings
For decadent piles of collected things
And my silent acquiescence and what that means

Just no telling what this means
You keep on collecting shit that ain't worth a hill of beans
And you keep on saying it's worth its weight in gold
And I keep on questioning the bill of goods that you've been sold

For the greediness and all the pain it brings
The quiet and hidden hands pulling on the strings
For decadent piles of collected things
And your silent acquiescence and what that means

For the greediness and all the pain it brings
The quiet and hidden hands pulling on the strings
For decadent piles of collected things
Our silent acquiescence and what means

Special thanks to:
Bill from November Sound for your time and ears...as always my friend a total respect for your talents!

Notes: 

If you are here for the second time a deep thank you.  Someone asked how far I thought I could push this track on the production end.... here is my answer and challenge accepted.  I ended pulling the track to see how close to Stone Temple Pilot's - Sour Girl I could get.  

What a ride it has been as I delved into new things and endless moments of frustration.  If Tainted Icarus were a group of other people and I was doing their mixing,  I would have choked them all at least once.  Organic, dynamic and each of them powering up their performances...but damn does that make for some difficult mixing. 

Sour Girl is a dark, heavily compressed and tricked out track...plus some killer low end

At the end of the day or weeks in this case I pushed, pulled prodded, twisted and worked with no limitations.... yeah... maybe you shouldn't use an EQ like that... but if it seemed to get me closer away I went. 

A lot of dead ends and dark, lifeless tracks as I pushed...

Something important still eludes me and I think it may be something analog.  The slight pitch shifts and elongated/slurring of the drum track and Scott's vocal tonal shift are a clue... tape brake? tape machine? reel size?  I could go on and on.  

A fun and demanding engineering project and forced me into learning more about the tools of the craft.  

Always about moving the ball forward!

With today's final print and bringing the project to a close.  I got close enough to be proud of what I achieved.  Sour Girl is peak STP and peak era of big budget productions.  Difficult to say the least and certainly a bit outgunned... but the challenge is how I learn best and there is always next time.

I hope when you hear Greed you enjoy it, you hear the hours of labor spent at the dead ends... hours spent trying to tweak a second of the track to fall in line with the theme.  It's not perfect.... but nothing I ever work on is going to be.  Its about inviting you into the space where the music was made and to share the moments captured. 

Peace and love my brothers and sisters
Tainted Icarus

Greed

I wrote the chords/riff to this back in 2002. I was just reminiscing about living in Vancouver Canada again  - living in the mountains and leaving it all behind for a "Brand new day". Hope you like some part of it. 

This is the second song from the project "Are you out there?"

Cheers,
Three Photons

2 and a half minutes of up the hooter madness, Bit of a toe tapper from our forthcoming album "Insomniacs Dreams", this is a guy who knows he's overdoing it, but feels compulsed to do more. Cant stop. Even more so when there's lots on offer. Greetings to all our friends and supporters and all on here, thankyou so much everyone.

Tainted Icarus has a protest/grunge/rock type of feel.   Sharing a similar vibe and feel of great bands like Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Cult. 

Slogging it out my home studio and trying to understand the deep sorcery that is Music Recording, Mixing, Mastering.    Jesus if someone had told me how damn complicated the topic was... I might have reconsidered.   

I keep it real, listen to your music and comment.  Be supportive of myself and others and I have your back.  I stay out of the rampant game playing and focus on finding real people making music. Is that you? If so pull up a chair and PM me.  

It takes me a while to make the rounds.  If you are releasing a new track and want me to stop by sooner... send me a PM.  

Relax and enjoy a tune...or make one.  No need to run around in that haze of fury.  Peace and love!
