It's sevens-should-be-dominant-without-function-and-heels-should-never-be-flat music Friday! Thanks https://soundcloud.com/jeff_roberts for giving inspiration about what to do with a nonsense homeoffice afternoon (was also doing laundry but eventually fell asleep waiting for it).

Lydia Has Seven Flats

I'm all for having a good time, I love to party, but look after yourself and those around you.

Bright Light. 

HARD LIQUOR WAS THERE TO TEST ME 
AN ANGEL WAS SENT TO BLESS ME 
THEN THE TIDE CAME IN, WASHED OVER EVERYTHING

MAMA COCA WAS OUT TO GET ME
TRIED TO LEAVE BUT SHE WOULDNT LET ME
PRAY THE WIND GETS UP N BLOWS AWAY EVERYTHING


DON'T LOOSE YOUR SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANTHING AFTER TEN
BRIGHT LIGHT DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY
DON'T LOOSE YOUR  SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANY PLACE YOU'VE BEEN
BURN BRIGHT STAR LIGHT FIND A WAY

HARD LIQUOR WAS THERE TO TEST ME 
AN ANGEL WAS SENT TO BLESS ME 
THEN THE TIDE CAME IN, WASHED OVER EVERYTHING

MARY JANE WAS THERE TO GREET ME
IN HER ARMS I CHILLED COMPLETELY    
THEN THE CLOUDS CAME DOWN AND I FORGOT ABOUT EVERYTHING

DON'T LOOSE YOUR SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANTHING AFTER TEN
BRIGHT LIGHT DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY
I SAID DON'T LOOSE YOUR  SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANY PLACE YOU'VE BEEN
BURN BRIGHT STAR LIGHT FIND A WAY

DON'T  LOOSE YOUR  SOUL MY FRIEND
CANT REMEMBER ANTHING AFTER TEN
BRIGHT LIGHT DONT WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY

Bright Light

Llanpsych mix of Josh’s track.
All instruments by Josh with electronic sounds by Phil

The Shining - Entheogenic Psychonaut (Josh Clary) with Computart (Phil Chris)

This is a song that began with me laying down some bass, organ, piano, synth, and slide over a looped, heavily delayed guitar riff. I asked Ken to put some drums on it, which he did to perfection, as well as added some acoustic guitar. I then sent it to Tez, and asked him to come up with a lead part for it. He also delivered exactly what I wanted to hear. We dropped the initial looped guitar that was the whole basis for the song to begin with, which I think is pretty cool. Tez mixed and produced this, and what a fine job he did, too, as always. these two guys are wonderful collaborators--so talented and so easy to work with. What I told them was that I wanted to make sober people feel high when they listen to this. I hope it has that effect on you!

A Separate Reality (with Llanpsych and K2 and the Three)

Lyrics:-
What matters to you
Doesn't matter to me
What matters to me
Doesn't matter to you

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

From the girl in her room
To the man on the street
From the man in the moon
To Police on the beat

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

From the Farmers who toil
To the City bank boys
From the kettles that boil
To the kids with their toys

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

From the media pundits
To the teachers at school
From alternative trumpets
To the stubborn old mule

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

Agree To Disagree

This is the second in the Departure series of experimental soundscapes that are inspired by a set of 13 poems (or 'cantos') written by Jo Richter a.k.a. Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches @sonic-structures. I was honored thatJo invited me to collaborate with him on this project, it has really helped to push me in some new creative directions.

This second track in the series, features field recordings from Zuunzug. He offers them up for download on this page: @zuunzug-field-recording under the Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0) ... The ones I used are Save Beograd, Novi Sad, and Waves Over Seashells.  I think they add a lot of great atmospheric texture!

The poetry is copyright Jo Richter. I have only extracted a small sample of the original poem, so please read the full text below if you are interested in the original context for the spoken word, also read by Jo Richter.

And you can follow along with this project here. This playlist so far includes one other song (2 different versions) from me and Stonerjazz, based on Canto VI, but we intend to add more in the coming months:

Here is the full text of Departure - Canto II, the inspiration for this track:
(Copyright Jo Richter)

To allow for rest, you need to make sure
that you do not fall asleep right in
harm‘s way. You need to put your trust
in crude projections of the path and thrust
of entities and processes that do not cease
activity when your awareness takes its leave.
There are no guardian spirits to protect
you when consciousness bows out.

When – as a growing child who learns to use
his wits to regulate the forces that en-
compass him – he had to learn to abdicate
his mental skills, his reason and his
social prowess, just to give in to sleep,
he felt the force of dread that did
not hesitate to bring forth monsters from
the cracks that rooms and psyches offer.

Out foraging for all the goods that people,
parks and pastures proffer, he‘d often felt
assailed by sudden drowsiness that swept him
from the inside out into the open street
and very nearly drowned him in the gutter.
The force that urged him cannily to sidestep
reason, did not protect him from approaching cars,
as though it were an arbitrary arbiter of life.

It had been then, in dire need of shelter,
that he had stepped into the cool, comforting
splendour of the spire that reached into
what lays beyond. To master words, he
had been warned, will never do,
if you aspire to tame the threat of
letting go. I‘m here, he‘d said, to enter
a frame of mind, a larger self, a sphere of

actuality that never passes out, even in the
deepest state of slumber, trance or trauma,
even when the archetypes invade
my daily reasoning with brutal presence, as
they do. To master words, his muse replied
with her bemused DaVinci-grin, is quite
amusing, once you find the time to ponder
and to muse about the situation you are in.

IS IT YOU? (p.taymxru)

"The Turtle Project" started out as exactly that, a project, a songwriting project that was born from years of being a musician in many bands, doing countless gigs, naturally gathering experience and inspiration until, one day, I stumbled upon the fact that I could actually put those experiences and many others into words. The composing aspect grew from that into what it is today ...
My way of life .
