PREDATOR

Full Moon Night (V0) - Piano Works

Tea plantations on the planet Athoek, the location of some intrigue in Ann Leckie's book, Ancillary Sword.
I took inspiration from the early work of Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Vangelis)RIP. I loved how he combined traditional Greek instruments with electronics on "Earth".  "Heaven and Hell"  remains a personal favourite.

Jo Richter @sonic-textures a.k.a. Sonic Textures and Silent Stretches produced a really fascinating soundscape with poetry that he offered as an open collaboration. Here is the link to the original:
https://soundcloud.com/sonic-textures/concatenandus?in=sonic-textures/sets/open-for-collaboration
Here is a link to a version which Stonerjazz @user-911083679 added to. My remix is working from this one:
https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679/song-0049wav
And if you'd like to hear one more iteration of this open collab, here is a great one from Nic: https://soundcloud.com/nic_nic_nic/concatenandus-nic-version 

I was quite fascinated by Jo's poem. See below for the lyrics.  I added the full text back in after chopping up some elements of it to create this soundscape, and when it the words sit on top they line up in some very interesting serendipitous ways.

I also have just released a version with soundscape only and just snippets of words left in the background, in case you'd like to hear without the poem overlaid:

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:
concatenandus - (on the meaning of wind generators in fashion photography)

she kept wondering about all those photographs
that show flowing hair and wide, wind-swept robes
until she understood: those ropes connect halves
of a self that's caught and its dasein-based scopes

what is my real size if it's not epidermical skin?
the reach of my voice? my status, hierarchical clout?
my environmental footprints, global, within?
my life's agenda? some will being lived out?

what is my true reach into psyche, space, time?
which pasts do shape my tribulations and loves?
she thought of herself as a poor poet's rhyme,
as a reflection of life in a stock photograph.

a stranger wave of understanding hit her
when she unfolded into the moment -
she was not singled out, her whole world was with her
she was connected in a well-worn arrangement

of events manifest: she yelled out with joy:
birds nest in my hair, my feet walk the ground
this self tried to bind me, this gravitational ploy
but beyond all that hassle, spins a world that is round

Words & Photographs: Concatenandus Remix with Jo Richter's full poem

THERE’S AN OUTAGE WHAT AN OUTRAGE
CUT OUT FROM THE WORLD
UNSEEN UNTOLD UNHEARD 
IT’S LIKE YOU DON’T EXIST NO MORE
NO REASON TO LIVE FOR

THERE’S AN OUTAGE LIKE A BLIND CAGE
LOCKED OUT FROM WITHIN
LOCKED IN AND WITHOUT
NO COMMUNICATION 
YEAH CONNECTION BREAKDOWN

IN THE DEEP OF THE NIGHT
WITH NO ONE NOTHING IN SIGHT
BUT THE FLICKERING FLAME 
OF A CANDLE LIGHT
LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS 
IN THE OLD WAYS 

THERE’S AN OUTAGE 
ZERO VOLTAGE
DUSKY BACKSTAGE
BLACK ADVANTAGE 
THERE'S AN OUTRAGE

IN THE OLD WAYS OF THE OLD DAYS
IN THE OLD WAYS OF THE OLD DAYS

OUTAGE

I added vocals to the theme song of Carpenter's HALLOWEEN

Wit and wisdom from Liz Truss, the ex- prime minister of the UK and ex-leader of the Conservative Party (she lasted only 44 days!)

Trussed Up

The cakewalk was more than a recreational dance; it also gave a chance for enslaved people to ridicule those who tyrannized them.

Photo: Bert Williams and George Walker who popularized cakewalk dancing more than anyone.

Lyrics:

What once made sense 
Falls down to my feet

And what I used to think 
Now dissolves like a dream

History once believed,
now the sun has bleached

A web of lies
Surrounds what we see

Nothing was ever real,
All made to deceive

We are at the 
edge of night

darkness increases,
swallowing the light

We scramble like rats
Fight each other for scraps

False lights explode,
To douse our fright

This coming storm 
Feels like the end

As wheat and tares 
Are separated again

Events unfold, 
draw us back 
Into eternity
We kick and scream
fighting that which saves

Why lose your soul
just to save your life?

There is no end,
in the truth, unite

The name that cannot be named
The door to all wonders
Will be revealed
Outside this dream
It calls, forever, 
forever beckoning

Outside the Dream(Hobocop & Cosmic Keanu)Video Available🎥

Another track from my EP "Short Songs For Tall People"
Lyrics:
You say your name is society and you think you’re sick?
Sit down, patient, and I’ll examine you!
Uh huh, just what I thought:
That complexion of yours--grey as a flophouse bed sheet.
Your breath--reeking of smog and sewer gas!
Headaches? What do you expect, with nothing but cash registers clanging inside your empty skull?

I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I've got an electric bongo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I howl, I scowl
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

Of course your stomach hurts!
You’ve swallowed too many dreams, too many hopes, and turned them into one gigantic ulcer.
Look out—your hands are trembling—any minute now and you may drop a bomb!

I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
Steely Dan's a dildo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I play pinball
I play Pachinko
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

I’ve got news for you, society—you’re not sick, you’re dead!
Solid Baby!
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I've got an electric bongo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

And I’m going to bury you and dance the twist on your grave!
Solid Baby!
(Punctuated by finger snaps and applause.)
