Sinusoid

birds, birds, and more birds

recorded in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal), on the 15th of May, 2023
around sunrise time

using a Zoom H4n

Exceptionally I used some high pass filter and some noise
reduction on this one, for the low hum of traffic and air conditioning,
and motorized vehicles passing in front of my apartment.

Early Risers

Hello thread. Pieces that don't fit. My depression was just fixed. It's a knot in my head that I've had since junior high, and might go back further. I had found all the ways into the knot, and then, in a flash of clarity, just now, it simply unraveled and I'm left with an urge to post on SomethingAwful.com.

When I was young there came a time when other children started to form into groups and I felt it was wrong to exclude others, to behave differently towards one person than another. It seemed so basic. I was taught and nurtured to believe that one should treat others as they themselves would like to be treated - the Golden Rule. But then, in my early teens, my peers started to seek the attention of others. They were desperate for an identity, something that is them, something to build on, and the only way one can form is in the minds of those who are familiar. Groups started to form around me. But I didn't want to be in a group, I wanted to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. In my mind we were all part of a whole.

I started to wear the same bland style of clothes every day. I did not cut my hair into a popular shape. And the easiest way to be true was to not engage at all. I kept to myself and viewed relationships as exclusionary. Senior year, with the idea that college was near, I decided to try socializing. You see, I didn't have the clarity that I have now. I thought I was broken, that I did not fit in, and I couldn't understand how such a person could succeed in the more social world I expected to find. This is where my life went off the rails. I was trying to play a game others had set up years ago.

I dropped out of high school with a 3.85 GPA. There wasn't a social face to show others, a true identity, the type they would expect, with familiar support. Just bits scraped from TV, me, and depression. What a huge waste of time. I am now 51.

Pieces That Don't Fit

•I'm driving down the neon streets
The city's alive with electric beats
Memories of you come flooding back
I'm lost in time, I'm off the track

CHORUS
And I never saw it coming,
Details running wild, passing all the cars
Mad to live, mad to be saved
I'm falling
And the visions were so stunning,
Exploding like spiders across the stars
Mad to live, mad to be saved
I'm falling

•The glow of arcade screens and starry skies
We danced through endless nights, chasing butterflies
And watched the sunsets fade like a cosmic show
In our naked dreams to the past we'd go.

•There's no place to escape at night
The road is long, with no one in sight
Slowly transcending into the black 
I'm lost again, but can't go back. 

CHORUS
And I never saw it coming,
Details running wild, passing all the cars
Mad to live, mad to be saved
I'm falling
And the visions were so stunning,
Exploding like spiders across the stars
Mad to live, mad to be saved
I'm falling

Dark Escape

NEW 2024 Kinsame song with Kyt de Kinsâme :
https://soundcloud.com/kiyotoyoshihara

---------------------------------

Evaporate 
These unconscious cities 
Vaped by purple 
From the proud stratosphere 
In sister dew 
Smile at these splendors 
A tumor in the heart 
The too gargantuan gallantry 
Your words 
From drunken islands 
Birthed by the Milky Way 
An interstitial summer 
This sweaty serpentine 
On your chest

Drunken Islands - Kinsâme

Btw, that´s me in that photo.
I was a rather weird kid, listened to Spike Jones, Benny Goodman, fifties rock´n´ roll and my father´s jazz record collection (O.  Peterson, Bird, C. Brown, W. Montgomery etc.)
 Later I discovered Psychedelia, New wave/Punk, Japanese noise (especially C.C.C.C.), 60-70s rock classics, Debussy&Messiaen, Dub reggae, Prog (Gabriel era Genesis, Van der Graaf Generator....), vintage Beninese stuff (Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Cotonou, Gnonnas Pedro  and so on), UK Freakbeat, out-there Jazz, Bowie/Floyd bootlegs, J. Zorn, early 90s Indie, F. Zappa, antique French Pop (Dutronc, Laforet...), U. Srinivas plus labels like Delerium Records, Shimmy Disc, Japan Overseas (Osaka), RecRec music and God knows what.
Additionally, I should mention that my all time favorite Finnish album is Sperm "Shh! Heinäsirkat". Check it out!
Various literary and "cinematic" influences have molded my music.  The more predictable stuff like Surrealism, Dada, Situationism, Beats (mainly W. Burroughs) of course, but I have also been influenced by the old-school Finnish Radio Drama, Beninese "traditions", the ramblings/books by P .Levenda, Megalithic Structures&Art, the humor of H.S. Thompson, 70s-80s Eastern European Animation, Yakuza films and by the cult movies re-released by Blue Underground, Something Weird Videos, Mondo Macabro, Arrow Films and so forth. Pretty far-out stuff that could destroy your mind permanently?
 And nope, my photo is not from the 50s or from the 60´s (It was taken around 358 BC, hahaha).
Enjoy this more or less bizarre music.
Happy trails to you!

Song by the Ginger Twins…
published March 2024…
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
Broken hands
Calloused feet
Hardened heart
From defeat
In disguise
I will rise
From the brink
Of demise
Of demise
Of demise
Vacant eyes
Blatant lies
True to form
No surprise
In despair
Out of hope
Do you care?
Cause they don’t
Rise – Fall
Rise – Fall
Of Demise
Terrorized
Victimized
Awakened now
For reprise
In disguise
I will rise
From the brink
Of demise
Rise – Fall
Rise – Fall
Of demise

From The Brink Of Demise
