recorded some guitar in the garden and tried to make a song from the track. The tempo was all over making it tricky to put bass and a beat to. The words were inspired partly by an RC drone that kept coming over the house and partly from one of those pervasive passing thoughts that seem to echo though ya head and bum you out for a minute or so until you shoo it away.
It's just a sketch as usual.

minds out on loan
arrest me today
minding my own
a drone remote control
twirled up in the sky
and I waved hello

goodbye my brain 
be on your wane 
dont you look at my face
knackered an' gnarled 
tired an' all
in my own place way out here in space
I waved hello
out here in space
I waved hello
nice ta seeya again

goodbye my brain
hello I waved
goodbye my brain
hello I waved
from out here in space

Goodbye my brain. Hello (from out here in space)

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...
