Bricks made of audio excerpts from 1970’s detective television programs are stacked in a cluttered formation. The samples used are not dialog, musical scores or intricate foley - but of the bits that remain. The shuffling, coughing, moving, activity of people; as well as incidental music, traffic, machines and the occasional radio burst. A mortar of ambient sounds fixes these bricks into a wall ripe for mediative viewing.

The Children Sense A Depressing Uncertainty...

Let no one kill the child
I carry deep in my chest,
the one who laughs for no reason
and dreams without looking ahead.

Let them not dim his gaze,
nor steal away his mirrors,
where he still sees mighty castles
and ships built out of wishes.

Don’t silence his laughter,
don’t cover up his sky,
don’t sell him hollow truths
dressed in the price of goodbyes.

Let no one kill the child
I carry deep in my chest.

Let no one tell him “grow up,”
as if that were some great quest,
nor drag him through the alleys
of a world grey and story-less.

Let him wander barefoot
through the puddles of memory,
with a stick as his brave sword
and a flower as his secret.

Let no one kill the child—
though at times he may be still,
he saves me from the sadness,
and defends me from the chill.

Let no one kill the child
I carry deep in my chest.

This track is an experiment  with mixing light opera and pop. For me it also represents a difference in the way I present the track. For historical purposes, I have always used my name as the artist. Simply because it was practical for purposes of filing the tracks on my PC. I have never hidden that for the last 12 months I have been posting AI assisted music. In all cases (except for a few cases which have been made known in the track description, I have been totally responsible  for the lyrics, never using any lyrics without, usually, having done some major editing. In fact getting on for 400 songs were written over the years, before I had even known about AI programs like Suno. Many of those songs also have the original music, melodies and chord harmonies. But getting the lyrics set to music was always a priority for me. With this in mind, I shall start to talk about The CIRCLE80 initiative. The CIRCLE80 initiative is John Dyhouse and SUNO AI, and I may even mention the |Suno "persona"  I created to use as a vocalist, for example this track introduces Angelina Lee as the featured vocalist.

Bespoke music for mass-produced times.

Taskboy Music is a decades old project in which the struggles to translate ineffable moods into rhythm, melody, and harmony using the tools of the day are documented.
