Absolute Mindfulless

a track by Marco Lucchi reworked by Mean Flow

Mean Flow & Marco Lucchi - MoonSoon

"Pure Cotton Ghosts" is an experimental rock-jazz fusion that pays homage to outsider music. With its off-kilter rhythms and raw, lo-fi atmosphere, the track has a spontaneous and unconventional sound that evokes the creative spirit of outsider artists. Though devoid of formal musical training, these musical outsiders produce compositions that are unfiltered and idiosyncratic. "Pure Cotton Ghosts" channels this aesthetic with its jagged time signatures and dissonant melodies. The lead guitar wails without restraint over off-beat drum grooves and wandering bass lines. This is music that embraces imperfection and thrives on instinct. Abstract yet emotionally resonant, "Pure Cotton Ghosts" celebrates the bold artistic vision of those who create on the fringes. Its avant-garde sensibility makes no compromises as it recklessly explores new sonic terrain.

the real way to the  way out (w/Henry Koek)

In that city, a frequent guest, I've wandered wide and far,  
Yet strive as I might, its gates remain ajar.  
A map etched in memories, vivid, clear, and deep,  
In dreams, I turn its corners, in restless sleep.

I've changed my pillow, shifted the futon's fold,  
Yet the path to that city, in reality, remains untold.  
Surrendering to fate, I let my yearnings slip,  
Only to find, in sudden wake, I'm on that city's script.

There I stand, amidst its familiar scene,  
Realization dawns, in slumber's embrace, serene.  
In the quiet of awakening, truth whispers soft and light:  
It's in dreams alone, that city greets my sight.

The town in my dream

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...
