I absolutely love the fleeting nature of the percussion in this - So much space between notes and phrases that let those huge bass notes and dramatic melodies fly. The low end perfectly wraps around the high end too and makes it sound hypnotic in headphones. Great track!

I love the theme wandering around in the musical darkness, awesome sounds and presents. Big Applause.

For a more dense rhythm section I needed agility on bass line so this time, instead of the double bass, I chose to use my old dear electric bass, an old Cort that's been with me since high school. I haven’t played it for a long time, it’s been fun, I think I will do it again soon.
About the picture: actually the place of the photo is not a station or an airport, it is part of a photographic work I made some years ago on the concept of non-place like the big malls. But a non-place is also, some way, an all-places, every places from which to leave or arrive...
The real truth is that I've always liked this photo, for the perspective plane and because it's full of lines with variety of lights and shadows... In short, I couldn't wait to find an excuse to use it :)

Have a nice trip!

5.23.25 A Fatal Strategy

A little monkey in a mechanical suit

Griffins in Love is a song about a couple evolving through love into a mythical griffin.

Lyrics
Verse 1
What kind of creature are we?
A mythical kind though normal we seem
When you are weak I am strong
When I get mad, sing me a song
You're keener than I and you soar through the sky
You lift me high before I die

Chorus 1
We're the griffins my love, blessed from above
Lion and eagle are one

Verse 2
What kind of union can we have?
I love you from the top, though they laugh
In my mind we are one
It started before it's begun
You're strength keep me from flying too close to the sun
When I'm with you, the struggle's undone

Chorus 2
We're the griffins my love, blessed from above
Lion and eagle are one

Verse 3
Do you still question what we are?
I was so sad when you were far
I learned from many mistakes
I lost my faith from many snakes
You appeared and claimed me with your eye
My eagle, before I fell

Chorus 3
We're the griffins my love, blessed from above
Lion and eagle are one
Lion and eagle are one

Lyrics by Wayland Stephens and Mary Pothanikat

Griffins in Love

The red room is a Russian urban legend and this is my interpretation of this urban legend

The Red Room

My baby told me something bout the way that you move 
Sly shape shifter out on the loose 
Everybody watching what you gonna do 
Fell to the fist of a luney tune 

Caught you by the tail but you bit off clean 
Dodged another bullet, Killin spree 
Everybody moving with a bottle or three 
Found me on the levee now let me be 


Let me be (x4)


And it real 
Ain't it real 
When you feel this way 
ain't it real 
ain't it real
Cant you take it appreciate it

Now I'm on the tail end of destiny 
Found what I needed what I came to see
The people behind the mystery 
Come out n get it go make the scene 

Chose another pose for the magazine 
Keepin my cool girl keepin it clean 
Frowning n growling underneath 
Keeping the judge proud n mean 

Hmm 
You gonna get it 
You gonna get it

We are premiering "Liminal Spaces" from Marco Avitabile's upcoming album "A Few Meaningful Things," out on August 31st via Colectivo Casa Amarela.

RIYL: Bill Orcutt, Loren Connors, Alan Licht, David Torn

Marco Avitabile is an Italian guitarist and sound artist experimenting with textural, free-form improvisation. Having spent his youth within the local post-hardcore and metal scenes, Marco’s guitar playing is minimal and streamlined, more closely informed by visceral expressionism rather than technical proficiency. “A Few Meaningful Things”, his second solo work and first for Colectivo Casa Amarela, highlights string clang shining through live signal processing, providing a clear-eyed celebration of simplicity, flirting with multiple styles while not fully committing to any.
Whereas his previous work focused more on sound processing - used as a semi-generative mean to create improvised guitar music -, here crude performance takes center stage, renewing Avitabile’s dedication to the six strings and showing his most intimate approach to the instrument yet.

An abstract journey towards balance, between spontaneity on one side and meticulous craft on the other, much like the life situation that inspired these pieces: as Avitabile strives balancing the titular few meaningful things in his life - music making on one side, a day job and his family on the other-, the urge to create fights with the struggle to fulfill it, which is ultimately what fuels the urge itself the most.

Selected and edited by Avitabile himself from countless hours of home-recorded material, the tracks on “A Few Meaningful Things” were expertly mastered by James Plotkin, further underlying a lineage of post-genre, razor-sharp, instinctive guitar music the album aims at being a part of.

J'ai dormi au fond d'un lac
Sur le sol froid et humide d'une caverne
Mangé dans un arbre pour ne pas être dévoré moi-même
Bu dans des flaques d'eau mon salut et ma virginité

J'ai inventé le feu, le silex et la chasse
Bivouaqué sous la lune glacée des pôles
Construit des pyramides qui tutoyaient le ciel
Etendu mon empire pour ne plus avoir peur

J'ai guerroyé au nom des Dieux et des Rois
A l'assaut des murailles hautes comme l'impossible
Me suis saoulé du sang dans le crâne de mes ennemis
Ecrit des livres rouges aux noires enluminures

J'ai cherché à comprendre plutôt qu'à espérer
Fait la révolution, souhaité ce qui me semblait juste
Traversant les Lumières, romantique passionné
Trouvant bien meilleur goût à la science qu'aux prières

Avancer de deux cases plutôt qu' un loup en cage
Avancer de deux cases plutôt que loup s'enrage

J'ai voué à l'argent un culte déraisonnable
Colonisé le globe, tout est allé si vite
J'ai porté l'uniforme, braillé sous les drapeaux
Vécu dans les tranchées, exterminé des peuples

Avancer de deux cases plutôt que loup en cage
Avancer de deux cases plutôt que loup s'enrage

J'ai étudié les neurosciences, la génétique
Connecté la planète et convoité l'espace
Accéléré la faim, accéléré la fin
Penses tu pouvoir faire mieux ? Penses tu être plus malin ?
