Vertigo

My passion for music reaches its peak when I'm overcome with loneliness. My brain and emotions seem insignificant in the world. After a few days of feeling this way, I discover fragments of music. Over the course of two or three days, these fragments begin to form the whole picture of a song. When life is fulfilling, I can't even find the first fragments of a song.

If You Want to Make Music, Run Alone(328)

The Old Church

An electro Nu Jazz atmosphere with a bit of bossa at a chill 85 bpm

Composed digitally MIDI to DAW via VST instruments, all original, no AI, made by a human

In ATL where I live, rainstorms have arrived for the next few days as Hurricane Erin has moved inland. Yet, even on the rainiest of days, the afterglow of music created around firelight lingers like the smoky scent of burnt hickory. In my world, that “firelight” is a computer screen, although in the past I’ve noodled an acoustic guitar around a campfire. Who hasn’t?! 😀

Today, I feel fortunate to enjoy the immense talent and camaraderie of SoundCloud friends. So a song of thanks. Pretend we’re gathered around a campfire for a toast — Here’s to humans making music 🥂🍻 To the goosebump factory! as friend @TheBeautifulDark calls it  ✨🪄And to its afterglow! 🍾 🙏

Afterglow

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/UUWMRv_sRh0

A dream pop excursion into the meaning of love...
Have you ever said those three words without meaning them?
Or ever heard them, but knew they were a lie?
Whispered without care, tossed into the void as a gesture of placation...
A preoccupation 
A mental vacation

A ticket to easy street
Or manipulation...

Actions always speak louder than words 🖤

Lyrics:

I used to think you had a heart
But now I know it fell apart
The emptiness you gave to me
Some cheap apology

I love you
(I love you)

I Love You

Thank you for listening
I am, of course, aware of the existence of the Japanese film Burst City.
While my work is in part an homage, I would like it to be regarded as an independent piece in its own right.

Burst City

Dedicated to the little Shrew our cat Yoda just killed playing with it in the garden. I saw it's last breath man. RIP Shrew, sorry buddy...

Lyrics written last night... It's wasn't meant to be about the Shrew but I suppose the best Shrew ever is the perfect representation of what it is about...

All of us and everything as equal (🌌=🐀)=Future
So say a 🫛

The song is 99.9 bars long to pay homage to Sir Shrews final moments...


Mind Microscopic

Tell us a story
One of life
Paint it with pen
Word colourful wife
Marry reality now good fine fjord
Unjulate silently coastal smoothed chord
Pen ponder today
Page approve this great zest
When sinple we say
Safe proof of our chest

The treasure is thoughtless
Empty we widen
Wist lightened weight
Anti-matter pen finding
Silence unsealed for this story of ink
Define pictures world as we opposite blink
Year for four season'
Quart' beam themed flower

Some paint through cold
The spring full of life
Tone tended phonic of fuse made might
Shown, not told
Perspective of honest
Cloned unique know
Evolution upon us
Brevity braved
Be bulldozer brilliant
D7 saved
Complication resiliant

Duality droned
Treat conflict as thinned
Gruel human race
On your feet like the wind
With leaf power blow
Bow to your psalm
Appreciate zoned locks of name good golden
Elliptical haven
This heaven marks dust
We are woke to this brazen epiphanic life crust

Scene cares to curate
A fearless calmed fuss
Musings are malleable
Truth as new just
Dawn Daisies do daintiest dance as examples
Gaia be grind
Tend system with us
Higher universal bind
Light wisted weight flush
Magnetic mind control
Neuroplastic seed opposite
Beamed optimistic
Make dark microscopic

Oh Ai Oh rise
Oh kind tropic
Mind microscopic
Oh bind the topic
Oh mind microscopic
Oh kind tropic
Oh mind microscopic
Ohhhhhh ohhhhh oh oo Oh



Notes
This song was supposed be about the irony of how thinking too much a lot of the time hides our actual wisdom. I had been considering the reason as "our version of reason" up to the point of our thoughts flow. this can get warped and bias quite easily. What I've found with writing is that it's when I'm at my most relaxed and thinking about nothing at all, is when I get the most complicated lyrical thought flow. I'm considering it's down to switching off my current bias thought which is filled with emotion and reactive to the environment. Where as Buddha mode, which my Grandad would say is us in our subconscious (Bill was an amazing poet) seems to offer a better delivery of the wisdom we have learned via intuitive access. In the moment it feels like a simultaneous firing of everything up there but at the same time is effortless. It's an incredible contrast between a non meditative state and that tranquil one where counterintuitively one would assume your not getting answers.... TBC

The Shrew makes it important as the Shrew lives on instinct... As does Yoda somewhat... He saw a thing moving he's never seen before and acted on instinct. The Shrew was just being a Shrew and being it's instinctual self. Our ability to reason so well has maybe got us out of touch with our instinct way too much and hence we create this bias avatar with regularily very questionable ego based views of reality  (me included obviously)


The Shrew doesn't live in its mind in the sense that it can't be distracted from a mission by a detailed reasoning of its environment and is guided by its instinct. Maybe we do live in our minds too much, my Aunt and spiritual guide always telling me I do anyways...

Time to meditate more maybe and get better at switching off the noise 🔆 Shrew power 🤍

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...

The end of the world is just a ragged clown behind you
