This story follows a group of young childhood friends as they grow into adulthood and navigate through the experiences that must come with that; the wistful memories of their youth, the death of childhood, love and loss and growing older. However, they eventually discover they are in an illusionary world controlled by an omniscient super intelligence directly affecting every decision or even thought one may have, keeping them locked in an endless loop. Ultimately the friends find their true path and break free after a perpetual night of no reprieve.

This concept album sort of acts as a spiritual successor to my Demo EP "Welcome to the Neighborhood", as some similar musical themes appear in both, mostly used to foreshadow this one.

Thanks for listening, it always means a lot to me.

FULL BLAST AND TOP DOWN

This is a line from a song by Van Halen, Panama, describing a spectacular vehicle. I think Van Halen's music is exactly about this, exitement, fast, bombastic, wild and extravagant, and deliberately vulgar. Much of it really belongs to the Eighties, both in composition as in sound.
In memory of Eddie Van Halen I am trying to bring this to life in this song, filled with Van Halen-isms.

I hope you can enjoy this tribute and that it will make you think of him and his joyful, loud and exuberant music.

I don’t wanna hate myself …but I do ..I denegrate myself .because of you ..because of you …you twisted my intention …lies to sick to mention …I don’t wanna hate myself but I do …because of you …you stripped away my confidence til I was left defenceless…small and trembling..echo of my voice came back to wake me …so I gather my inner army …gaze upon my righteous rage …as I undo the bars of your cage around me …
..you were the loosest screw of all ..I love to see how far the mighty have to fall …the loosest screw of all …I stole your crown and now it’s you who has to crawl ….
I don’t wanna hate myself but I do ..because of you
I still fuckin hate myself …
I won’t let you use me anymore 
I don’t wanna hate myself 
All the time ….i was mine ….
When will I wake up …..
You …were the loosest screw of all….

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...
