Once I wrote a description here !!!

Ok let's say I started adding layers to the great music https://soundcloud.com/progrockdan1 sent to me.

Letra (translated lyrics below)

Se arrastró bajo los muros,
llorando.
Se filtró por las ranuras,
buscándome.
Y miró entre las fisuras,
deseando:
mucho claro, nada oscuro,
llamándome…
 
Mas el centinela mágico
de quijadas relucientes,
descarnado por los dientes
de mil y un gusanos cárnicos,
por la acción más degenérica
de venenos de odio y muerte,
este ser, cerebro inerte,
la detuvo, niña histérica…
 
Pero huyó,
vio sentada su promesa de llamarme.
Y escapó,
Vio prendido su deseo de amarme.
Sensación
de saber que era la presa, fuego y carne,
y en la intensa luz de vida vino a hallarme;
y me encontró.
-------------------------------------------
She crawled under the walls,
crying.
She filtered through the grooves,
searching for me.
And she looked inside the fissures,
wishing:
much clarity, no darkness,
calling me…

But the magic sentry
of shining jawbones,
eaten to the bone by the teeth
of thousand and one meat worms,
For the most degenerated action
of poisons of hatred and death,
this being, inert brain,
detained her, hysterical girl …

But she fled,
found assured her promise of calling me.
And she escaped,
found on fire her willing to love me.
Sensation
of knowing that she was the prey, fire and flesh,
and in the intense light of life she came to find me;
and she did.

Ella huyó - She fled (with ProgRockDan1)

Yellowed World by Tainted Icarus
Release 03-01-2016

12-21-16: Updated-Drums, Mix & Master - 90's type feel  

This is the alpha and omega of the journey that is the Perspective album.  Its strange words uttered 20 years ago....a sudden realization in this moment of the meaning of those words.  Bringing things full circle with a new understanding and embracing a new perspective. 

Lyrics:

She said the eye that's watching you
It knows of me
An I'm in a million places
That the eye simply cannot see

And there's a price that must be paid
For all the blood that's let
And while the world is keen to forgive
I'm not to keen to forget

While the world is keen to forgive
I wont forget

Living in a world of yellow and gray
Mean the things you do and do the things you say
Try not to get too fucked up along the way
Remember the clock is ticking living in a world
Of yellow and gray

She said learn to let it go
And follow no one down
Be true to yourself my friend
And a hero when no one is a round

Don't let your fear shut you down
With the things you write
Share your heart in melody 
And let that be a guiding light

Ohh let that be a guiding light

Living in a world of yellow and gray
Mean the things you do and do the things you say
Try not to get too fucked up along the way
Remember the clock is ticking living in a world
Of yellow and gray.

Living in a world
Yellow and gray

Living in a world
Living in a world

Living in a world
Living in a world

Perspective

Yellowed World

Sometimes when I create...where ever the noise comes from only gives me a part of the whole.  I am left with a choice to force something or to trust the muse.  Lost is a piece for which I only was given the music.  When I put pen to paper, I had nothing to write, nothing to say.

My friend Behold The Sludge approached me and asked to finish Lost.  I didn't share my inspirations for the song Lost,  but when I read the powerful lyrics he wrote.  It appeared to me that he already knew it. It wasn't vague or opaque but directly relatable to the events that inspired the music.  The choice of words that directly relate to the start, middle and end of the journey that Lost was to me. 

It's one of those moments where you begin to wonder how much of you is really in anything you create, or are we all pulling the muse from a common well.

You can find the finished work here:

Robot Life 
I've been enjoying my fridays
with my tired brain
I have to find a good way
just to heal my pain
my vision in slow motion
I almost hear a sign
looks like the time stoped
now my breath is calm

(2x)
It's just a break time in my robot life
Yeah soon I'll go back to the run again

Yeah, I remember childhood
And my simple plans
projecting my own spaceship
to explore the universe
yeah I don't know what went wrong
but I lost my way
but I still have hope to be a child again

(2x)
It's just a break time in my robot life
Yeah soon I'll go back to the run again

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

Moments Denied 2018 Remaster (mastered by Mastering True Music)

This track is an original ambient binaural electronic organic tripped out instrumental journey and was inspired by watching the film Decent and a recent adventure to the mysterious Crank Caverns in Rainford UK on a clear but cold day and reading up on the caverns myth and history dating back to at least the 15th century with supposedly a subterranean church and weird cannibalistic goblins roaming down there in a labyrinth of caves and caverns! 

The surrounding countryside and area is familiar to me since childhood, so i was rooting about near the caves for treasure like you do haha and i spotted a dark looking hole tucked away in the embankment close to one of the caves and thought to myself this looks interesting and not a rabbit hole so i found a fist sized rock close at hand and rolled it down, i suddenly realised this was a very deep hole and i nervous rush of vertigo speed through me as i realised i was over it by my self in the middle of nowhere! 

I soon moved away and then went home for a lie down haha and ended up having the most strangest of dreams were i was falling down that hole as the vertigo took over me and pulled me to another world which started off at the local supermarket as i emerged from the deep dark watery cave from a door into the cake and biscuits aisle and then somehow ended up on the planet Mars ripping the sands up on a real mint Quad bike chasing a fantasy ocean as i kept on falling in a dreamy slow motion through time with everything rushing past me flowing like liquid at light speed seemingly forever but there were no goblins just spacial oceans, euphoric energy's and maybe one or two aliens! haha

Let your imagination run wild and i hope you enjoy the journey there is also an SC interactive VR edition for a more immersive journey on the link above! Have a safe new year everyone and many thanks for all the kewl support! Cheers Peace! :)

produced by soundboard tinkerers feb 2019

this time - if she could

if she could  if she could  if she could
she would bite her tongue
hold it all in
this time

into the crypt she crept
away from the throngs she went
its all so garishly tasteless
and pointlessly baseless
so loud so shallow
so difficult to swallow

so difficult to swallow

if she could  if she could  if she could
she would bite her tongue
hold it all in
this time

bright color plastic flags
junk filled plastic bags
so loud and so shallow
so tight so narrow
into the crypt she crept
away from the throngs she slept

this time  this time

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
OH I MUST BE HYPNOTIZED
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

About the project: 
Since I am traveling a lot and I make music all the time anyway, I had the following idea: Soak up the vibe of the place I am in right now. Infuse these vibes into a song that also includes original sounds I recorded at the place. Film what I see and experience and edit a video to the song so that you can be there with me. And include a little tutorial for beginners to show you how I work. Combining all that, I created the series "Traveling Musician". 

The first episode is about Tokyo. I strongly felt a juxtaposition of formality in public life and work and a wonderful and crazy nightlife with lots of laughter and openness. I also thought about David Bowie's albums in the late 70ies ("I'm under Japanese influence" - Blackout), especially the "Heroes" album, and how they used drum snippets and fills on that album. My drum programming is a little tribute to that.

Have fun diving into the experience with me!

Lyrics

Verse 1
Hold on, it's a long way down
Haven't been there for so long
It's a simple life when you're living on your own
so don't pick up the telephone (cell phone)
It's you and me again
so hold on.....

Chorus
Strangers, in this life
We're strangers, we're just finding our way
We're strangers, it's just you and me
We're strangers and I can't stay

Verse 2
So low, at the Sundowner Cafe
You're a bright light in the darkest place
Your stage name is all I need
So don't pick up the telephone
It's you and me again
so hold on.....

Chorus
Strangers, in this life
We're strangers, we're just finding our way
We're strangers, it's just you and me
We're strangers and I can't stay


Outro

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were lost in the night, you and me

We were strangers....

'Mistakes' is nothing more or less than a simple love song. Melodic and a little bit edgy, just like Cindy and me. Alt rock meets dream pop. Thank you everyone for listening and supporting Para Lia!

lyrics:

i found you waiting in the backyard
of my selfmade house of cards
you are like the sunrise that breaks the dark

all my mistakes led me to you
we are riding with the past into something new

my broken road is filled with ghosts
and some of my steps left potholes in my soul
it's a fine line between love and pain
you're touching my mind, you keep me sane

all my mistakes led me to you
we are riding with the past into something new
it's long overdue

Talk To Me 
  Music : Brian Wilson (https://soundcloud.com/rexgoliath-1) 
  Lyrics & Vocals : Tainted Icarus
 
Lyrics:
I remember the way you felt
Whispering in my ear
With a laugh and a smile it was good all the while
So long as you were here

I remember the night you came home
And said this had to end
It all crashed down, burnt to the ground
And I could no longer pretend

While I cry talk to me
While I cry talk to me

Cant you see
it's not the way is should be
at least from where I stand

While I cry talk to me
While I cry talk to me

Talk to me

I remember sitting back to back
On a summer afternoon
It was the only way to keep our hands at bay
And save us from our doom

And I remember your heart as it cracked
As those words escaped my lips
And I deeply regret and i cannot forget
But that's a long ago sailed ship

While I cry talk to me
While I cried talk to me

Cant you see
it's not the way is should be
at least from where I stand

While I cry talk to me
While I cry talk to me

Talk to me

Notes: 

Sometime ago I found this wonderful music piece by Brian Wilson titled, Talk To Me (https://soundcloud.com/rexgoliath-1/talk-to-me).  After a couple of weeks I reached out to Brian to see if he would be game for me doing some writing and singing.  

In an effort to keep this short and to the point.. it was a wonderful experience to try to push and prod the vocals into place... trying to get them into the same room.  Lots of tweaks and moves in very small increments to get to this place.

As is customary with my work... is it perfect..no.  The lyrics have been pushed and prodded in an effort to maximize meaning and reduce chatter.  I feel Brian wrote a piece of music that deserved nothing less.

I hope you enjoy what you hear and if you have a few stop by Brian's profile and share some love.  

Till next time brothers and sisters
Peace and love
TI

Water, our most precious asset today and especially tomorrow!

Living Water

on the beach and in love
just the sun you and me
fighting like the tide
we come and go as we see fit
oh this can't be it
you didn't leave none for me

On The Beach

Music, lyrics and vocals by Irina

Different shades of blue
You paint me in dark hues
Leave me all alone
Turn off your telephone

Let music drown you out
Leave no shred of doubt
I hope you have fun with them
But you might not see me again

People change a thousand ways
And times, to keep in mind.
I will try to recognise
Who you were, who you are

Colder than an iceberg is your soul
But you need some self-control
Sharper than a knife
I cut you out of my life

Leave and don’t come back
I never look back
Made your choice long ago
Now it’s time to let go

People change a thousand ways
And times, to keep in mind.
I will try to recognise
Who you were, who you are

image designed by mr cagey

If I were to paint a portrait of you,
layer upon layer oil mixed with dew.
Canvas part torn weathered and worn,
a wondrous reflection resplendent in colour.

If I were to sculpture in marble or stone.
Alabaster skin flawless in tone.
A peachy complexion a hint of rouge,
lines to be seen more than a laughter or two.

If I were a poet my sonnet to you,
would flow from my heart that’s been battered and bruised.
Words on page of passion and rage,
an inky endorsement of love and of hate.

Ohhh, let it go now, I need to have some peace of mind.
Ohhh, let it go now,
find myself a release, that finally sets me free.
From all the confusion, downright delusion,
turmoil swirling around, inside me brain.

of love & of hate

News: Well a lot I could say...but going through some issues right now.  So I am on occasionally...though a lot less than  I would like.   You are always my peeps and  I love you clouders as brothers and sisters.   Peace and love my friends!

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!
