  COURRIEL POUR VAN GOGH

Un autre samedi soir
‘pi t’as rien à faire
t’embarques dans l’autobus
tu débarques au Café Campus.
Le doorman prends ton argent
t’es visible comme le vent
t’es parti d’en nuages
tu cherches un visage.
Le pusher de la place
te regarde en pleine face
et juste avec ses yeux
il dit “l’bonhomme
qu’est-ce que tu veux
veux-tu acheter du stock?”
Tu dis “Hey man mon trip
c’est le Rock
chu venu icitte pour cruiser
j’espère que ma poigner.”
                   
Y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir
y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir.
y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir
y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir.

Tu fais semblant de rien
et juste avec une main
tu fais signe à la waitress
tu dit “fais ça vite SOS
ammène moé une bière  
n’importe quelle va faire.” 
Elle dit “d’ou tu sort
t’as l’air un peu bizarre
arrête de viser mon corps
prends-toé pas pour un super-star
même si tu joues un peu de guitare
tu vas  ramasser au bar.”
T’hallucines - tu buzz - tu trippe
tu sors ton flash-kit
un vrai ‘ti Kid Kodak
tu boycottes Mac Do - les Big Macs.
En amour t’es anarchiste
en politique ni communiste
réformiste-socialiste-péquiste
fasciste-fedéraliste-capitaliste
c’est du québeçois que tu préfères
c’est pas heavy dans ton univers
c’est du québeçois que tu préfères
c’est pas heavy dans ton univers
c’est toé le roi des vers
faudra ben tu poigne à soir.

Y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir
y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir.
y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir
y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir.


La fille à côté de toé
est en train de capoter
elle clique sur la musique
elle a l’air un peu spastique.
Elle écrit un courriel à Van Gogh
six pieds sous terre
une autre “Saison En Enfer”
sa liberté lui a couté cher.
Elle continue “tu sais Vincent
c’est très hallucinant
de voir des fils de bourgeois
faire leur signe de croix.”
Ton chum y t’offre une puff
tu dis “Merci - Hot Stuff”
t’es stoned - t’es faites ben dur
ça presque pas d’allure
tu voudrais t’enfuir dans la nature
respirer un peu d’air pur
loin - loin de la ville
seul sur une île
ou les jours-les jours-les jours  sont courts
les nuits-les nuits remplies d’amour
ou les jours-les jours-les jours  sont courts
les nuits-les nuits remplies d’amour
mais la réalité comme un reveil-matin
vient te serrer la main.

Y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir

y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir.
y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir     
y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir.
Y faudra ben  
y faudra ben.
y faudra ben
y faudra ben 
y faudra ben que j’poigne à soir.

Lonely Nights

Creep (Radiohead cover)

And I Love Her / The Beatles
https://youtu.be/Nm4YlZ3oYsQ

This work was supported by many people in the winter of 2019. The listeners were mainly in various area of the United States. I am very grateful for that. I decided * WINTER 2019/2020 * for this work. I wish you a good Christmas and a good year.

This classic Beatles song is designed to raise the key by a semitone at the stage of the guitar interlude. Some people do not realize that it has been changed the key because it is so natural. I think it's a really attractive and mysterious melody. I developed it and experimented with this recording to see what would happen if I continued to raise the performance of the song by a semitone for each theme. For those who are practicing the guitar, I think it can be used as a basic lesson to aim at playing in any key, whether it is chord stroke practice or melody line practice. 
However,  I know that some people who are practicing guitar can only play the same melody line with different pitches, because the chords are different. If the songs are different, other instruments will perform quite differently. Therefore, even if your performance while practicing guitar is always doing almost the same thing, it is often the case that the listener hears it playing a different performance. What is unfortunate is the fact that you can't grow at all during that time. The problem is that you stay there for years. If you later realize that you were wasting a terrible time, you can't get it back.It's a serious wall for beginners to overcome. Even if you are a skilled top professional guitar player, if you don't pay attention to your condition, it is said that you will be playing only the usual phrases. It is the same that we should always be aware of.If you can't get out of the symptom that the melody you play is almost the same, even if you use different titles for each recording, you first need to realize that you are always playing almost the same phrase.
Such people terribly often don't know or ignore the difference between the Western scale and the Blue note scale. For example, if you add an E-flat sound to the C major scale or A minor scale, and you think it is a blue note scale, it won't cause a catastrophic failure if you are a keyboard player. However, if you are a guitar player, it will be fatal.They are even suspicious of whether they have found a usable scale from the chord progression and are starting to play.Often they do not seem to be fulfilling the important mission of matching rhythm and melody.What's more, it's impossible for a sensitive listener to allow someone to pretend to be a blues player while making a sound unrelated to the blue note scale.To make matters worse, such people do not even master the Western scale enough,many good listeners will gradually move away from the artists who release or spread the works that cannot be called works. We will need to be very careful about that.You may struggle and find someone to pass on responsibility. But that attempt will fail. We all pay laziness and self-satisfaction by ourselves.
Alternatively, some beginners can imitate the performance of a great guitar player, but cannot freely improvise. In general, it is until the early teens that a boy or a girl who is crazy about guitar playing is expected to see the future from the audience by imitating the performance of a genius guitar player.As is well known, copying and covering are completely different acts.That is also a serious wall. In order to overcome this, there is no choice but to accumulate a lot of issues from basics to applications over a long period of time. I would like the recordings shown here to be used as the first step before getting into there in earnest.

From: Time To Move On
Let's have a little WR ballad, shall we? It's about two people who fell for each other at the wrong time and situation. It's just another dark subject we want to write a story about. If it's not for you, then you can always move on to our hard rockin' tunes : D

TAKES A LONG LIFE TO GET WISER

Time to Go Away

Thank you for listening!
My first collaboration with Wild Christopher, a great songwriter and singer.
Check out the great work of Wild Christopher; https://soundcloud.com/wild-christopher-lyrics
Lyrics and vocals: Wild Christopher.
Lyrics:
Some of us discover early
We’re not quite like the rest
We are set aside
Set apart
Best to forget
We fight to fit in
But the struggle brings you down
We are the shadows
We blow away like the dust
Always on the move
We embrace our wanderlust
We are the shadows (x2)
Who sees the shadows? (x2)
We go on searching
Traveling down deserted roads
Keep on believing
Some where we’ll find our home
We are the ones who put the questions into souls
But who is deceiving who
When the truth is never told?
Who sees the shadows? (x2)
We are the shadows (x3)
Who sees the shadows
Most try to ignore us
In the hopes we’ll just go away
We remind them of the sins
They hide in the light of day
Never to atone
But fear the sideways glances
Who sees the shadows?
We are the shadows
Fade into the dark
Under the street lights 
See the shells of the broken hearts
We are the shadows (x 3)
We fade into the dark

We are the shadows (Feat. Wild Christopher)

So That Today

This work is also a collaboration with Marco Turrini following the previous work. We tried what happens if I play "MEMORIES OF THE PAST" which is one of Marco's masterpieces together with him.How I would add my interpretation to this work while making full use of Pink Floyd's flavor and Marco's honed sensibilities, that was my problem.A big fan of Pink Floyd can not defile the honor of Pink Floyd.  :)
I sincerely thank Marco Turrini again. Also, I would like to confess that I'd like to express my respects to the many musicians who gave me a lot of musical influences, involved in this work.
And thank you for listening to this work from the bottom of my heart.

The key:Gm , C

When I listened to the sound source of Marco's "MEMORIES OF THE PAST ... TRIBUTE", the first thing I came up with was  "Breathe" by Pink Floyd. It is one song in the album "THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON". Then, on "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (included in  "Wish You Were Here ")A famous performance came back in my mind. This may be better known.
Both are masterpieces. There are a lot of name performances left. I will introduce it below.
By listening to that songs again, why I remembered that songs, I could find something in common between them, and at the same time you will be noticing something completely different.
What Marco drew for this song is Marco's "Pink Floyd", not Pink Floyd itself. Indeed, I feel an exceptional talent to him. For example,I'd like you to check the chord progression of the second part of this song. Mr.Marco treats it so that it is not cleverly noticed immediately,You will notice that the essence of a famous song nicely included. There should be many people who understood by just listening.Therefore, the title of this song is "MEMORIES OF THE PAST ... TRIBUTE", I do not ask Marco, I imagine arbitrarily and enjoying it. :)

You can listen to the original sound at Marco's page.

Mountains. We all have to to climb. Sometimes we stumble. sometimes we fall. But the truth is in this life you keep going no matter what. It's either that or fold and it aint gonna happen. Behind every smiling face lies problems and issues that no one else knows anything about because everyone wears a mask. But a leopard CAN change its spots...if it calls at the right place, which is one of positivity. Greetings to all, many thanks to all supporting the mental straights, a personal favourite this one, and sang from the heart. Enjoy folks!!!

is the source of the greatest wisdom.

This flavorful recipe for Kung Pao Noodles can be made with chicken, shrimp, tofu or my very favorite….roasted cauliflower! A few years back, while visiting China, Brian and I took a couple wok cooking classes and got a feel for authentic Kung Pao which is the perfect balance between spicy, tangy, sweet and umami flavors. This is my own simplified version that I like to serve with noodles instead of traditional rice. Keep it vegetarian or add meat — it’s up to you.

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey is yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion\\

This was an experiment to have no previous exposure of the song for the guitar player before the countdown of the recording. 1 take only
It's called winging it.
This was the outcome with Mr. Matt Warnick handling the AX.

PS: my rule was that I could use the first take only to edit a somewhat focused solo together.

I could fall back into those big brown eyes 
I could fall back into your arms
I could trust a woman with hands as soft as yours
I could hold on
I could hold on

I could be calling you from the phone booth just outside of town
I'm sure I'm the worst thing for you now
If you would take me back and let me go on living
I'll show I could hold on
I'm sure I could hold on
I'll show I could hold on
I'm sure I could......

Hang up the phone and follow your heart....

Procrastination

Hey! Here we are: 2018. Last year was rough. Not just for me, but for several friends and family members. This year's going to be better, especially if Soundcloud stops trying to get me to listen to seriously popular pop music. That's not what I'm here for. 

School has started and I'm presently lost in a new and overly complicated work/school/life schedule, but it's okay because I like waking up at 5 in the morning. That's a lie. Was it convincing? 

Last weekend - or the weekend before maybe - was the quarterly GM48 game jam. Vinnie and Bacon and I came up with a game that was based on the idea of using paper as a tool. We had the idea that the paper being modified would make different noises, and that the noises would all need to work with an underlying track. Confusing, yeah? I was happy, because this is a piece I wouldn't have written under different circumstances. It's patient, and it fights all my tendencies to get bored easily. I actually really like it. 

I won't lie...I haven't yet downloaded the game and tried it. My PC is having some screen issues presently. If you want to try it, it's gm48.net, and the game is called "The Papier Experience." 

I'm making progress - slow progress - on the Letterpress Mighty project, and am hopeful to have a few more tracks done shortly for that. I'm kinda easing in to my new year's resolutions to be more productive in music and stuff. It's gonna be okay. 

I gotta go read some stuff for school now. Hope everyone's well!

A song of sarcasm about leaving and getting away from it all.

I`LL BE THINKING OF YOU - (JunkHeap (c) Jan 2018)

Spending the nights awake thinking it has to be done,
it did her good, it did her good.
Her mood hit the floor; 
found the strength to get away,
it did her good, it did her good.
Turn another corner, leaving the house forever. 
With cynicism in her voice, she said to herself, 
I`ll be thinking of you.
I`ll be thinking of you.

He had enough, hesitated, 
but bought a ticket out of his town, out of his town.
Packed his bags, and got on a plane,
because he really didn`t see a point
of hanging around, hanging around.
He stepped on the plane,
tipped his hat and said,
I`ll be thinking of you.

They both worked their fingers to the bone,
it was a too much to deal with at their age;
Trying to retire, and turn the page.
They got in the car, he turned the keys, 
and they went east, never looking back
and they both said to the past, and laughed...
I'll be thinking of you.

I'll be thinking of you...

I'll Be Thinking Of You   JunkHeap /Conover

Three Photons is an analog-centric indie jazz-blues project that blends vintage warmth with cinematic introspection. Rooted in tape-based production and minimalist arrangements, the sound evokes dusky landscapes, quiet urgency, and the emotional clarity of improvisation.

Drawing from early jazz recordings, lo-fi textures, and ambient storytelling, Three Photons crafts sonic environments where each note feels intentional and alive. The name reflects a fascination with light, resonance, and the subtle interactions that shape perception—mirroring the project’s ethos: understated, immersive, and deeply human.

From reel-to-reel saturation to spacious reverb tails, every track invites deep listening and quiet reflection. This is music for late nights, long drives, and moments that linger.

🎙️ Analog soul. Magnetic tape. Timeless tone.
