Hard to believe

Track text is spoken by sono-poet Ilaria Boffa from her book Beginnings and Other Tragedies. Translated it says "Time does not pass, we pass through time in stages or blocks and we become. Spatially and temporally scattered we have experiences in other places inaccessible to us here and at other times unavailable to us now."  Also spoken:  "Clouds are moving fast. They're shifting perspective. Carry me with you"

Non è il tempo a passare (feat Ilaria Boffa)

very rough overly long guitar sit down while I reflect & wait out the coming layoff announcements - first 2 minutes is really rough but too lazy to finesse edit anything plus it sort of accurately captures the addle minded moments that precede towards putting things into the hands of God

A glimpse of the mongrel god

Electric guitar, analog bass synthesizer, effect pedals, voice, unsynchronized loops, two tube amps, broken heart beats and a lot of time manipulation. Field recording: electromagnetic waves made audible with Soma Ether. All sounds, voice, mixing and production: Velvet Something Superdark. Image: inside a shop-window in Berlin Neukölln (photo VSS).

Wonderful Wasted World, Part 2

Embers

Inspired by and built around a field recording of the last, lurchy moments of arrival by rail into Grand Central Terminal, as carriages clatter across successive marshaling-yard merges.

Fuel my focus
Be my breath
Good gravity
Sink me to calm awareness

Fuel my focus
Calm my chest
As thoughts flow in
See them pass

I am breath
Respiratory pulse
Safe as a spirit
Mend mind convulse

Fuel my focus
A tender tame
Cue calm awareness
Fill my frame

Blissful body
Therapeutically tuned
Blissfully bound
Traquil marooned

I am breath
Balance breathe
I am breath
Serene agreed

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
