Light will shatter at the end of time

Sunday Interlude

TROPICS. BIRDS.  WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR? 

 I used FLEX modified by me, for the harsh lead tone and the rainstorm. I used a highly modified (running man 1980 styled tone) created by me from SYTRUS. The birds, I found online from a free licensed website. My drums are found in FL studios library. I produced and sound checked with FL studios to create fullness.

The Power of  Sound

No one’s sure which way to go 
To make sure we don’t miss the show
Could be north it could be south 
With last nights flavors in your mouth 
You’ve gotta grab the final shout
And put your real self about 
So throw some vox at one o five 
Then darker shadows can arrive 

Speed down the yard with your handbrake turn 
Bang up the sounds let the baseline churn
Revel and roll in the ecstasy 
Then open the door lets your senses free

Go Rolling in the sonic well 
Let fiery purges leap from hell
Jump back in the frying pan 
And send a text out to the clan 
Psycho beats to make them vibe
Reminding that they’re still alive 
Pretty Floyd or Ugly Jo 
Become the local folk hero 

Speed down the yard with your handbrake turn 
Bang up the sounds let the baseline churn
Revel and roll in the ecstasy 
Then open the door lets your senses free

Then you get that sign up call 
So will you let your morals fall 
Make that million dollar vid
But who the fuck they tryna kid
Remember honest tunes you sang 
And finally get to join the gang 
Set you up so you can fail 
And pull the sting right out your tail

Speed down the yard with your handbrake turn 
Bang up the sounds let the baseline churn
Revel and roll in the ecstasy 
Then open the door lets your senses free

ONE O FIVE

V lese jsem viděl takovou věc. Nejdřív jsem říkal, že to nemůže bejt skutečný, ale jsou tady. Mezi náma.

Ed Brunsden was kind and patient enough to interview me for  his blog Desert... Mountain... Dust...  - you can read it at https://desertmountaindust.blogspot.com.au/2017/02/tuonela-primitive-progressive.html

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...
