“We’re All Going Somewhere”

O my wealthy doctor,
He always says to me:
We all are going somewhere
Whether rich or poor we be!

O my sanguine doctor,
He always says to me:
We all are going somewhere
Some bitter, some carefree!

O my godless doctor,
He always says to me:
And when we finally get there,
Somewhere is where we’ll be!

O my former doctor,
He always said to me:
We all are going somewhere,
I’ll see you there maybe!

I’ll see you there maybe!

We All Are Going Somewhere

GENIE 0.6/Girls' generation(SNSD)歌ってみた

Everyone’s complaining rightly about the state of the UK.
A snatch of the new Johnny Dysfunctional single ‘BROKEN COUNTRY’ Could do with Marley on this. Marley’s ghost?!
More verses on the longer version
Murder on our streets, kids stabbing kids, where are the police?
Health treatment join a queue, your life’s at risk doctors too busy to see you.
Foodbanks on our streets, food insecurity, cost of living crisis, 14m live in poverty
Lone wolves in bedrooms plan mass killings
Things aren’t how they used to be ….


BROKEN COUNTRY (live) - Johnny Dysfunctional

A music hall experiment in 3/4 time waltz, drums in the style of Manic Depression by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, another poke at social conventions and my distaste for conformity...

Portrait Of Absinthe Minded Polly

Harriet's sister lives life wantonly
Uninvited attentions are welcomed with glee
But all eyes are on Etta 
For she's tres jolie
Oh they just can't see

They just can't see
Why?

To forget Sir Walpole Ratchett
You sit on your mother's casket
Drowning droplets of green pleasure 
With Earl Grey tea

Wilhelmina declines ooh la la
Attending occasions 
With perfect sang froid
But they all laugh with Etta
For she's fancy free
So what about thee?

They just can't see...
Why?
 
To forget their expectations 
Of class and society
You decline to entertain 
Any notion of propriety

Portrait of absent mine dead Polly
Where did you go?

They just can't see.

Portrait Of Absinthe Minded Polly

Since lately I have not been able to settle into a creative frame of mind,
I felt that in order not to lose what little comprehension I have managed 
achieve in working this music software, I might stay in practice by taking a detour.

From early on in life I have greatly admired the compositions
of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Since I had the scores of his Brandenburg Concertos
[...... The Six Brandenburg Concertos
[...... and the Four Orchestral Suites
[...... in Full Score
[...... Published by Dover, 1976
[...... ISBN 0-486-23376-6
[...... Library of Congress Catalog Number 76-12016

I thought I would try to blend a little Electronix 
along with the Period Instruments to see how that might play out.

Before letting this piece loose on everyone, I had the privilege of being able to receive some much needed criticism on my technique from a wonderful performer and SC supporter:

Mr. Bouzouki: https://soundcloud.com/mrbouzouki

He was able to help demystify the application of side-chaining for me.
On a physical mixing board, I had done a lot of it, though I didn’t know to call it that, 
yet how it was accomplished on the DAW kept eluding me.

The problem that needed addressing was the excessive amount
of REVERB that inevitably accompanies my tracks.
Often the native effects for a selected instrument
had its own effects bus, which I was never able to see (until recently).
So if it didn’t have enough of or the kind of REVERB I was looking for,
I added it in-line, which ended up supplying too much of an overly complicated (and somewhat unmanageable) EFFECT.

Hopefully, I have trimmed enough of it off at this point
that you will be able to hear all of the notes from all of the instruments
without having to imagine that they must be there somewhere in the mix.

One final admission:
The only thing possibly worse than my sense of pitch is my sense of tempo.
I have never been able to sight read music,
so to play a piece, it is always necessary to just memorize it.
Even then, having a metronome means nothing.
So, for all of you that are in a similar situation,
thank heavens for DAW technology.
It has made the joy of music a possibility for the masses
of us who have the tenacity to claim it for a hobby.
