Sylph

A young man wishes to escape
Some place else it doesn’t matter where
In his heart he is already there

In his house he’s only a guest
His family is formed by strangers
He cordially said goodbye and left

(I) Can always find
A new way to move around
A new way to fall
To restart it all somehow

I can figure out
How to adapt to any town
Make them adapt to me
It seems I’m winning every round

It never stops he seems to learn it all
He made a mess? He doesn’t wanna know
Certain things are better untold

There’s nothing else there’s no choice at all
His eyes are paths they could as well be molds
They shape the ground and all that surrounds

Can always find
A new way to move around
A new way to fall
To restart it all somehow

I can figure out
How to adapt to any town
Make them adapt to me
It seems I’m winning every round

MUSIC VIDEO

Restart

A slow paced krell-patch on the 0-coast, interacting with the Landscape Stereo Field and spiced up with some live sampling by the morphagene. A little reverb from the Little Plate added in the end.

deeper funk of blue

honey, you've got that voodoo
'can hardly take my eyes off o' you
'feeling like I could move a mountain
with y' here in this deeper funk of blue

it's funny you just say the word
the ticking of the clock does sound absurd
I can finally hear the voice of nature
asking me if I would have the nerve
giving all I get both night and day
working up a sweat to throw it away
 
promise me you'll never be dishonest
ev'ry distance bridged with your promise
left without I wear the crown of doubt
no schoolin' is foolin' me to want this
brighter lights are found in darker nights
let the fall precede the greater heights

here in this deeper
funk of blue

deeper funk of blue

'In A Make Believe World' is a Jazz Fusion track......

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...
