Brick + Mortar - Bangs

Taken from the alum 'Goodbye'.

How to describe Ulrich Schnauss's music? Let's see. It's shoegazing heroes. Slowdive headlining a rave. It's krautrock plunging headlong into the celestial raptures of the Cocteau Twins. It's U2 if Brian Eno had ousted Bono and commandeered the band in 1985. It's Balearic with a view of the Baltic instead of the Mediterranean. It's art-techno for the heart as well as the head. It's stadium chillout, as immense as a festival field and as intimate as a bedroom. It's celebration and catharsis. It's vapour trails and meteor showers. And it's very, very good.
 
So far, the quietly spoken German who creates this music has operated beneath the radar. His first two albums, 2001's Far Away Trains Passing By and 2003's A Strangely Isolated Place, worked their way into record collections by stealth. People heard tracks played by Rob Da Bank or Tom Middleton, or chanced upon him on stage at the Big Chill or Bestival, or heard about him from friends. However they discovered him, they were hooked. XFM's Lauren Laverne called A Strangely Isolated Place "a life changer everyone I have forced to buy it loves it."
 
Ulrich's third album, Goodbye, is his first for Independiente. It is also the end of a chapter in his sound. "I see these three albums as moving closer to something I wanted to do right from the beginning but didn't quite manage," he says. "Merging songwriting and indie elements with electronic music. I've tried to take all the ideas to the maximum."
 
So the ambient tracks are more spacious, the songs more memorable, the multi-layered, guitar-heavy tracks more ragingly psychedelic. Just listen to the obliterating rush of Medusa, or the cloudbusting dream-pop of Stars (performed by long-time collaborator Judith Beck). At times, there are over 100 different audio tracks playing simultaneously: a tower of song. No wonder Goodbye has taken three solid years of in the studio.
 
If Ulrich hailed from somewhere less boring, things might have been different. Fortunately, he was born in 1977 in Kiel, an unprepossessing city on Germany's Baltic coast best known for its naval base. It seemed to the young Ulrich as if everything important was happening elsewhere.
 
He explains, "I was talking to Andrew Sherriff from Chapterhouse and he told me that being from Reading had a significant influence because the place was so shit that you had to create beautiful music to get out of that state of mind. I'd say the same thing for me. Kiel is probably the most boring, ugly place in the world. The whole city is grey concrete. Places like that inspire you to create something that elevates you out of reality for a few minutes."
 

Bands didn't tend to play in Kiel, but at least the NME arrived regularly at the train station, albeit four weeks late, and the british forces radio station was good. Around 1990, Ulrich discovered electronic music and shoegazing simultaneously: the Orb alongside My Bloody Valentine, 808 State next to Ride, Shades Of Rhythm beside Slowdive. He also followed up every artist namechecked by LFO in their 1991 single What Is House?: Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, YMO His core ideas about music were forged there and then.
 
"For me that was the magic of those days," he says. "You couldn't say if a band was electronic or rock. I'm not interested in purist ideas. I like it when things you don't expect merge and mix and something new comes out of it."
 
And because he never got to see his heroes in the flesh, they maintained an aura of mystery and wonder. "You make up your own idea of how things are. For me that whole early '90s scene was something I imagined, like a fairy tale - an alternative reality to what I was experiencing."
 
Ulrich worked as a psychiatric nurse as part of his national service. After that, he moved to Berlin, where he tried in vain to become accepted by the electronic scene. "I felt really isolated. I desperately tried to integrate but it just didn't work. I was trying to marry what I wanted to do with what was trendy at the time and I always ended up with a foul compromise. So I thought I might as well do what I want to do."
 
After a few years of watered down, pseudonymous productions which he'd rather you didn't seek out, Ulrich released Far Away Trains Passing By on the dauntingly hip City Centre Offices label. He was amazed they even wanted to release it; more amazed still when it became a cult success. With its abundant charm and unabashed optimism, it was the most pleasantly surprising electronic debut since Boards of Canada's Music Has The Right To Children.
Its more rock-influenced successor, A Strangely Isolated Place, received an even warmer response, from critics and other musicians alike. It led to Ulrich remixing some of his shoegazing heroes (Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell of Slowdive, and Mark Gardener of Ride), as well as Depeche Mode, Justin Robertson, Lunz (Hans-Joachim Roedelius), and Longview.
 
Tired of the Berlin scene, Ulrich moved back to Kiel to make Goodbye. Most of his schoolfriends had moved away, so he didn't have to worry about distractions. His last two album titles spoke of isolation, but was that the pain of enforced loneliness or the comfort of voluntary solitude? Goodbye is equally ambivalent. "Emotionally, I find farewell situations interesting," he says. "Saying goodbye can be tragic or hopeful."
 
Like its predecessors, Goodbye constructs its own world, vast and vivid. When he's making music, Ulrich sees colours: one song might be red, another blue. Next time, he wants to "record an album based on more traditional electronic music structures - which could enable me to merge all these different influences beyond recognition". Meanwhile, this is the album he's been moving towards for over a decade: a sonic tour de force, an alternative reality, a life-changer.

One of my favourite live songs. This track discusses the topic of how easy it is to find oneself inadvertently in the wrong place at the wrong time. Could happen to anyone.

Rob Yeatman – Crash The Gates (From 'Wheel Of Life' EP)

Lady sleeping 
Sleeping on a concrete floor 
Not a hotel 
Barricades and steel door 

If I, If I 
Wielded power or great might 
I'd crash, I'd crash
Crash the gates and fly you home tonight 

Big bird soaring 
Cross the limitless sky 
Hidden somewhere 
Hidden somewhere out of sight 
I see, I see 
Shadows slipping through the night 
I'd crash, I'd crash 
Crash the gates and fly you home tonight 

Lady sleeping 

Rob Yeatman – Crash The Gates

“-In an era stamped by chaotic change, an ever-increasing number of paths to follow in ones life, and uncertain environmental conditions, it is easy to get confused and overwhelmed by it all. Searching for truth in beauty seems to be the only way that makes sense these days. "A song is a path - you make it straight and clean then you walk along it." My own path has led me through narrow alleys into a blooming, buzzing field where sounds flower in the physical realm. Negotiating the pitfalls of mundane reality, spinning through the turnstiles of our civilization we try, not to get “Lost in the Twisted Back Streets."

This thing called Love is such an amazing force...... when it hits it can completely reorientate ones' outlook and life.

Ten Thousand Miles

I have a fire, a fire deep inside
Tried everything to put it out
Poured on water, threw water all around
Nearly drowned but I couldn’t put it out

I’d fly 10 000 miles to be back in my city
Fly 10 000 miles to hold you in my arms again
Fly 10 000 miles to be back with my pretty
Fly 10 000 miles to hold you in my arms again

I’m coming home
Darling again

There’s a tree, like a flame tree
Growing inside of me, taking all the space
I took an axe and I took a sharpening stone
Cut it down, cut it down to the ground

lyrics:

yeah there's this girl 
who never wants to leave this world 
she stays at home cause she knows it's safe 

she's so afraid 
to become like her simple minded friends 
who start new trends, just to watch them die 

but I guess that's just the way it goes 
nobody knows what's it's like to become 
the one who never runs 

a winters day 
she looks outside her bedroom window 
she sees all the kids playing in the snow 

their innocence 
brings tears to her eyes 
they're still living in a beautiful lie 

but I guess thats just, the way it goes 
nobody knows what's it's like to become 
the one who never runs 

so listen here you beautiful thing 
there's nothing wrong with being afraid 

tomorrow's unknown and yesterdays lost 
but you're safe today, yeah you're safe today 

so step outside and enjoy this sunny winter day 

tomorrow is just another today so don't be scared to run out and play

Heart strings honey
Falling like blossom leaves
Sugar words honey
Falling down like dust

Kiss and make up
I've already forgotten
By the light of this moon
I've already forgiven
Sparkles in the dark
I've already forgotten
Writings on the wall
I've already forgiven

Heart strings honey
Falling like apple trees
Sweet words honey
Drifting down like rain
Eat it up honey

Kiss and make up
I've already forgotten
By the light of this moon
I've already forgiven
Sparkles in the dark
I've already forgotten
Writings on the wall
I've already forgiven
You

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all my friends, followers and listeners x

A Note to Jerry (Attics of my Life remix)

Grey City Lyrics:

So tell me, tell me where I'm going
I can't see ahead and I can't hear either
Yeah, teach me, teach me all your wisdom
I just want to know

I've been running around this town again
Looking for a father looking for a friend
The rain drops fall right through my soul
Like a crack head looking for another bowl

I see the buildings piercing through the sky
A million angry men living in a lie
A small boy looking for his lost dog
But It's impossible to see through all this fog

My steps start to feel heavy again
I don't ask myself where, I ask myself when
Cause the ticking of a clock is frightening
With tears of rain, these buildings are all crying

They just want to leave, just want to be free
But they know that's just a dream, a distant memory
I walk up to one and say it'll be okay
But he knows I said the same thing yesterday

I try to go inside but the doors locked
I reach into my pocket and pull out a clock
I look at the time, 3:15 it says
Only 3 hours till I go to bed

I start to panick, I start to sweat
I touch my hair, it's soaking wet
Is it from the sweat or from the rain
I try to keep calm try to fight the pain

but It creeps up on me from behind
I take out my clock and press rewind
But it's too late, the cities turned dark
Not a single tree left, not a single park

I look for an exit to escape this mess
But it's hard to see through this brick of stress
I fall to my knees, my worlds turned grey
look up at the stars and say

So tell me, tell me where I'm going
I can't see ahead and I can't hear either
Yeah, teach me, teach me all your wisdom
I just want to know

Can you try
to teach me how yeah teach me how to fight

Cause I don't know where I'm sleeping tonight

I tried so hard to find a different song

But I don't even know which song i'm on 

Tell me tell me where I'm going 
I just want to know

Ask me Ask me what I'm thinking
I'll tell you what I know
 
Show me show me a good feeling
Take me to the show

Tell me tell me where I'm going
I just wanna know

Gimme a hammer, it's what I need 
To teachin' you MY DISCIPLINE! 
You are the foolery who is made man 
Are you evil or a mad man? 
Like the Führer you rave some words 
And your furor will ruin the world 
"Just a stunt" it's what you say 
With a dickhead's smile on your face 
I lust for smash down your teeth 
But it's just a stunt, don't you see? 

Stop to carry on 
With no discipline 
Stop to laughin' on 
On the others' skin 
Stop to carry on 
With no discipline 
Stop to livin' on 
With your fuckin' sins! 

STOP! 

Cheap-jack hood with a fatherhood 
You've got a son and you're not mature 
You bring your ass to your showoff mum 
Look now the bragger: he cries a lot! 
Lex talionis it's what you need 
And so you'll know the discipline! 

Stop to carry on 
With no discipline 
Stop to laughin' on 
On the others' skin 
Stop to carry on 
With no discipline 
Stop to livin' on 
With your fuckin' sins! 

STOP! 

I'm kickin' your ass and I'll admit my fault 
Yes I wanna be bastard like all the cops 
And this last thing is another bullshit 
Show some respect for the police 
Dirty sleazy filthy piece of shit 
Now face the life that you've demolished 
Now face the crime that you brought into being 
So gimme this hammer, I really need it! 
I always sided with who speak of peace 
And I am against the iron fist, I am against the iron fist, I am against the iron fist! 

NO DISCIPLINE!

No Discipline

oh oh oh My legs are on fire 
Don't breathe now you make the flame higher 
All of my blue sky 
And all of my sun 
When you talk dirty you make me want to come 

Air becomes water when you disappear 
Life becomes heavy when you're not here 
I fill myself and there's no regret 
It's no secret that you make me wet 

Oh oh oh My legs are on fire 
Kiss me now and make the flame higher

When you talk dirty you make me want to

My punk arse needed to play something very raw immediately! Like right NOW! :) Gonna get bumpy and you've being warned! hell yeah, one minute (and now by persistent request two minutes :)! I bet it finishes earlier when you press a Skip button :P  

I broke 3 good guitar picks on my Yamaha electric bass on this outburst! and grinding the Fender Silver Bullet strings on Fender Strat, (couple of those on the cover art... ney I got more solid ones, but soft picks gave nice feel to jamn').  Played by me on Fender Start and Yamaha Electric bass. Used Line 6 Pod XT and B-52 LS-100 Head and 4x12 B-52 cab.

A salute to you Sound Cloud artists who aren't afraid to say something with a song.  You have ruined my ability to enjoy commercial radio and I thank you for that... keep writing, singing, yelling and rocking.  

Lyrics included below

Lyrics:

Verse:
Another dreary day
In this life of mine
Obscuring the details
And the truth's so hard to find

Looking for a way
To escape the haze
But these fuckers have locked me up
Inside the maze

Chorus:
An I'm a sludge whore, yes its true
Simply opened up my mind, to a different point of view

And now I'm coming, for you and you and you
Revolutions under way, it's time to choose

Verse:
Henry Rollins - and let them be stuck with their Nicklebacks and the Rascal Flats, fuck, you can have em and the poor kids that get suckered into that musical miasma.  I tried to help...we played really loud....you could've listened. 

Man how they dance
Ohh and how they sing
And prance around up on the stage
But don't say a god damn thing

Chorus:
An I'm a sludge whore, yes its true
Opened up my mind, for a different point of view

And now I'm coming, for you and you and you
Revolution under way, it's time to choose


Verse:
Steve Albini - as a consumer of music, as a fan...when a band is thrust at me in this fashion and wiggled in front of me like a severed head...then...it makes... makes me hate them.  

Enlightenment for sale
If you can pay the fare
And if you can't they burn it down
Without a care

Chorus:
And I'm a sludge whore, yes its true
Simply opened up my mind, to a different point of view

And now I'm coming, for you and you and you
A revolutions under way, it's time to choose

My very first soundcloud collaboration with Tainted Icarus, Icarus Fire and Legna   

Jeff (Tanited Icarus)approached me just over a month ago asking if I would be happy to do a rework on Walk All Over Me. I jumped at the opportunity, I lack recording knowledge and equipment, I remember thinking at the time he's got a job on his hands taking on this project but fuck he delivered and then some. 

Jeff got in touch with Icarus Fire who somehow managed to blend our styles to come up with a fantastic lead guitar solo and outro to the song and finally Legna who added the backing vocals to track.

I can not thank you guys enough for taking the time to work on this project.

Finally If Tainted Icarus comes knocking I suggest you work with him, his bass/guitar playing and attention to detail is second to none, its been a pleasure working with him,  we have had some laughs along the way, I hope its not the last time my friend.
Lyrics:
I'm the dirt beneath your feet
I let walk all over me
I'm so sick of biting my tongue
And so afraid of getting wrong

I let you
Walk all over me
I let you
Walk all over me

Why do you keep dragging me down
Bury me underground
Whilst my heart beats, beats and pounds
And my lungs scream but make no sound

I let you
Walk all over me
I let you
Walk all over me

I'm the dirt beneath your feet
walk all over me
Whilst my heart beats, beats and pounds
And my lungs scream but make no sound

I let you
Walk all over me

Riders On The Storm - LeRoy Edit

http://theturtleproject.wixsite.com/theshell

You think they’re coming but they ain’t 
You think they’re waiting at the gate
You think they’re driven by hate
Nobody’s being straight with ya
Everybody’s out to deceive
And nobody believes 
A single word you say
They all think you’re insane
So you’re losing your grip
You’re starting to slip
You’re getting swallowed in the abyss
Of your subconsciousness
So you’re losing your mind
You’re running out of time
But you’re oblivious to how it feels
‘Coz to you it’s all real

So you’re armed with a one way ticket and your last cigarette 
Focused on nothing, but getting away from the fear
Anywhere but here

You don’t know which way to turn
Strangers show you concern
Causing more uncertainty 
As there sympathy burns
They know you’re losing your grip
They know you’re starting to slip
Falling deeper in the abyss
Of your subconsciousness
Further out of your mind
Further out of time
You’re still oblivious to the way it feels
‘Coz to you it’s all real

And still armed with that one way ticket and your last cigarette 
You’re running in circles trying to get away from the fear
Anywhere but here
Clutching on to that one way ticket and your last cigarette 
Running in circles trying to get away from the fear 
Anywhere but here

Anywhere But Here

We can bleed into the Earth
Make love, like its the first
Fill the circle of salt
With our blood
And our love

Our Love

Pre Polar - Shift Cascade

"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 .
