Illusion machine. (Winkandwoo & Midisound)
=======================


Music created in July 2024
Editing, lyrics, vocals and covert art by Winkandwoo.

The original idea came from the chorus of the music. I thought of an accordion to create it, but unfortunately I couldn't find a good sound for the iPad for this instrument, so I scrapped the idea and replaced it with a soft synthesizer with some depth.

My partner in adventures, on this occasion, did the rest with an impeccable job full of creativity and elegance.

Thanks Clive, again, for this gift.

Lyrics.

What are they feeding your mind
How are they seeding your kind

Illusion machine
It's bigger than you and me
Illusion machine
The demon's behind your screen

Why do they need you so much
When do they get in touch

Illusion machine
It's bigger than you and me
Illusion machine
The demon's behind your screen

ILLUSION MACHINE (Winkandwoo & Midisound)

Last one 2024!! 

This started off as a completely different song. But I decided to leave this as a SUPER SHORT one after much consideration. Imagine all the different things that this song COULD be about. That to me - for this peace of work - is what makes it interesting. The mystery behind it. The listener can put their own story onto it. Anything at all. 

Or just listen to it as it. 

This is a "not song - song" 

Happy End of 2024 to all my wonderfully talented peers on Soundcloud! 

Lyrics:

Seems as though 
All my Life
I was walking the lonely road
Seems as though 
All this time
I didn't know how to take
What was rightfully mine
It was right there in front of me
Oh oh oh
All this time

Seems As Though (Last One, 2024)

All Those Colors, in my mind. Fills my heart, when life's not kind. 

All Those Colors

Sounds generated entirely by a Yamaha CK88, recorded onto six different tracks.

Settling the Mind

Through the glass I saw a man
with weathered hands 
can you catch the timepiece falling
can you hold it in your hand
your closing every door I have opened
closing every door except the past
somewhere across the blue
I have to turn to another life
a summer wind
will take me there
I am the river washing over the stone 
you are the mountain calling me home
looking at your weathered hands

Weathered Hands

Out Of Tune

Writing for orchestra seems intimidating at first, so many instruments, so many combinations you that shouldn't work, so many ways to mess up... But the moment you listen to the string section playing the melody that's been stuck in your head for so long, and heaven opens in you ears, then you know there's no escape from this, you got to keep writing. Smi mens jernet er varmt.
