Lyrics
Are you a fixed star 
of unknown location?
Strumming a particle guitar
Celestial creation.

Are you the beat of a solar storm
Travelling Earthbound
Of elemental form
Worshipping sundog.


To the sound of the whistling sun

Strumming a particle guitar

Are you a shooting star
in an absent moon sky
Dancing past
Jupiter and Mars
Through a billion and one stars?



Steve Pumphrey's inventiveness, musicality and virtuosic guitar playing have infused Particle Guitar with celestial splendour.

I consider all the recordings I post as works in progress 

Boring boring bore 
I might as well listen
To parrots squawk
Boring boring bore 
Never quiet 
You don't really talk
I'm tired the hour is late
Have mercy give me a break
Boring boring bore 
Your monolgue just says
You've been hoodwinked
Boring boring bore
Never listen 
You're afraid to think
I'm tired the hour is late 
Have mercy give me a break
I know you're not allowed 
To stick your head above the crowd
But remember who you are 
Boring boring bore
I might as well listen 
To parrots squawk

Boring (Remember Who You Are)

A Royal Affair - Music by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | Live Hardware Synth Instrumental through an amp right off of my studio floor

Part of an upcoming soon to be released Electronica album from moi :)

A track about a medieval like gathering to celebrate-discuss the couple's introductories, their arranged Royal Affair! The setting in my head, a high society pre-official-celebration event that takes place in the grand castle hall where the noble guests of honour attend the glamorous occasion fit for the chosen King and Queen yet to be!  They can say no if they wish so keep your fingers crossed for good luck as the families & related ties meet & greet highlighting the desirable qualities of each! The serious tone discussions linger about until progress is made, a final decision awaiting. So let us now politely curtsey, bow, fan, smile, hold the stance-stare-glare fixated! More trumpets now please! We so need the hype-vibe pumped up to make this vital connection go green! 

Keeping up with the obligatory motions is the name of this game...mode of course, diamonds and pearls, ornate embroidered design style...divine perfection creatures of the flirting-fine kind...good looks adorned in eye catching draping ruffling-puffing satins and velvety masculine jacket-suit-tail attire, embellished with piercing heavy metallics...to go on to say that all of this razzle-dazzle extraviganza to be accompanied with rustic wine goblets & rich colourful dine, circular dance activity, snotty chit-chat whispers and back stabbing schemes, the music picture mood of an ancient world what I'm trying to convey in a modern poppy way...not sure if I did exactly that or not...using just an Arturia Micro Brute Synth to sound something like an Indian Wooden Acoustic Harmonium or a Bag-Pipe was the challenge fun for me...to rather use, soley the synth and not my harmonium or *Bag-Pipe which I don't even play or own...to try and get the essence medieval feel somehow to shine through...Hmn, maybe yes? Maybe no? Not sure? Ponder over that notion...Hope you will enjoy this perhaps exciting number, REKHA XOXOXO

A Royal Affair

A Royal Affair - Music by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | Live Synth Improv JAM | Electro Medieval Dance Pop

After a considerable amount of time, my old friend Simone (Mome) and I had the chance to record a piece of music together: a short unplugged ballad, a cover of a great classic by CS&N that we tried to render as finely as we could, adding a bit of an unconventional Middle-Eastern flavor. Heartfelt thanks to Mome for adding his awesome acoustic bass part on a couple of guitar tracks I'd recorded before leaving Tunisia. Only recently I had the chance to complete the song with vocals and a few bağlama licks, so... That's it, in hope it won't break anyone's ears. I should add that in fact Stephen Stills wrote this tune, but since the other two guys crucially contributed to its composition with their superb vocal harmonies, I thought it was right to mention the three of them as co-authors. Since we started playing together, about 36 years ago, we'd never covered anything by CSN, so I guess it was about time.
I warn you: despite of its partially exotic vibe, this one definitely sounds way more "traditional" than usual, and I must confess that it was in first place a way to try out my new mic and home studio setup, and a nice chance to jam with one of my best friends ever.
I went through quite a lot of changes these last months... I apologize to everyone because I haven't been around for a while, and I sincerely thank every friend who found the time to drop a line or listen to the stuff I put here. I'll try to reply to your comments and messages as soon as possible, and hopefully I'll have the chance to be more active in future, with new releases and reposts. I still have plenty of strange sounds hanging inside my brain, that's for sure.

You Don't Have To Cry

You Don't Have To Cry (Crosby, Stills & Nash cover) | Feat. Mome

Written and recorded before breakfast. I  later re-did backing though and used subscription to re-upload 

Please let me let you down
I'm just a clown
My mind isn't sound 
It's known around town
Could you let me let you down?
Do let me lay about 
I've never been stout 
In my struggle with doubt 
Until I get gout
Please let me lay about 
Why don't we embrace love?
Why don't we embrace love?
Why don't we embrace love?
Embrace love
Would you let me let you lie?
Let your heart calcify 
I couldn't let myself comply 
Quite brave for a wise guy 
Would you let me let you lie?
Never could let you let me down
With words and deeds that confound
So let's wear a long gown 
And watch the sun going down 
Never never never let me let you down
Never let me let you down

Never Let Me Let You Down

Phone recording take 1 million
2/10/24


My eyes are stinging and my temples throb
Haven't done what I could
I'd take myself to bed right now 
But that would be too good 
Deserters, cowards and two-bit crooks
Live more successfully 
Even P.T. Barnam and Edward Bernays
Would not have gone near me
I'm a lost cause in this community 
I'm a lost cause and that's alright you see
I'm not a loner but I'm ostracised 
Or maybe I withdrew 
The Monasterys are for warriors 
And out here I'm taboo
Double-minded and triple blind
I've seen the depths of despair 
I admit I feel touched by grace
Just been a tourist there
I'm a lost cause on this thoroughfare 
I'm a lost cause and I don't really care
I'll leave it all give away my guitar 
If I could stay on the road
But that's untrue in all honesty 
I'm stalling for a cheat code
I'm a lost cause in this strange abode 
I'm a lost cause in this episode 
I'm a lost cause 
I'm a lost cause -  of you and yours






Lost Cause

This is an old song that was orginally called 'Flowers in Your Head'  begun in the late 70s by my dad and his friend. He completed it in the 90s and recorded it with a local band (we can't fully remember it). Having not come up with much myself lately,  I was inspired again when remembering how much I liked this, so I re-wrote it again with some different words,  and probably ruined it. 
Melody by Rob Benson (Verse, Chorus) and The Cobbled Moth (Middle 8, or whatever its called). Lyrics by The Cobbled Moth, and Hoppo (who wrote the first verse and part of second).

Cooler is slang for jail. The Song of Songs is worth a study. Beno of LCR FM is in there and the Azerbaijan link. 

Phone recording 24.12.24. 

When I'm feeling lonely and my life is dead and I feel so useless that my face is red 
And I know I can't get away 
The cooler's in my head 
The coolers in my head, the cooler's in my head no no no no oh
Well I turn the radio way down low DJ D says not to go
Back to Stockholm yeah I'm alone just like they said 
The coolers in my head, cooler in my head no no no no oh
You're locked up in a teacup
Diagnoses all wrong 
Bad domain, rage in vain
For lost Song of Songs
Even though you fled
The coolers in your head cooler in your head wo oh oh oh
Where we met was Persia but the north turned red, later left turned right
The same families led 
And I know I can't get away the coolers in my head 
The coolers in my head, cooler in my head No no no no oh 
Cooler in my head, Cooler in my head oh oh oh 




The Cooler's in my Head (collaboration)

I wrote this a couple of days ago and worked on the lyrics a bit then recorded just now on my phone. The starting point was thinking of a Syd Barrett lyric which mirrored Elvis "I don't care if the sun don't shine".

Yes I mind when the sun won't shine
And I must live in shadow
When the dry spell comes must carry on 
Until there's no tomorrow
Getting up I know I'll fall again
And when I'm not wanted at all 
By the grace of God I don't despair
But for goodness sake of course I care

You bet it's true and I get the blues
Whilst you suffer for nothing 
As I play kick back watch melting wax 
Then I'm late again rushing 
Falling down I know I'll rise again 
And while I'm hated I stand tall 
Had to accept life isn't fair 
But for goodness sake of course I care
For goodness sake of course I care 








 





Of Course I Care

Wisdom starts with fear of the Lord
So the Psalmist said 
Wisdom starts with fear of the Lord
Is the Psalmist dead? 
The faith is by experience 
Not found in human sophistry 
I couldn't believe  
So came to see yes
I found my fortune
And it didn't come a day too soon
I found my fortune 
My treasure 
And I pray you find yours -  
Palaces of silver and gold
All must pass away 
Seek the man who never grows old 
Moth to a flame 
Wintertime is cruel 
Agreed the fool with nothing on his feet
Then he cried paradise is sweet 
I found my fortune
It didn't come a day too soon
I found my fortune 
My treasure 
May you find yours too 
I found my fortune
It didn't come a day too soon 
My treasure 
And I pray you find yours too
