though I had no clue what this song was about at first...had to Google a few things 😅

A bit of Hawkwind, Talking Heads and Depeche Mode all going on at once! Very good! :)

more experimenting with arranging sampled sounds & loops. a little slow to build up, but once the horns and hammond organ kick in, it's pretty funky.

-sampled instruments include: rhythm & lead electric guitar, some bass, filtered piano, horns, some drums & perc
-instruments played by me include: organ, drums & perc, a tiny bit of electric piano and bass at the transitions  

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve. :)

Today

This is a song originally written and performed by Soundcloud artist 'A Girl From Wonder' (@user-712848711), whose music I've admired for a while. I've loved this one since the first time I heard it, and aways wanted to try some sort of collaboration, but it's hard to mess with the stark simple beauty of the original. But here's my attempt to add some dashes of colour to her voice and guitar strumming, adding instruments like upright bass, organ, banjo, cello, and percussion. The banjo parts are mainly a bunch of sound samples I found and cut up and arranged to fit in with the melody I wanted to play (wish I could just play banjo instead!). I tried to keep her evocative voice the main focal point, and we're both pretty happy with how this turned out. 

Thanks again Brittany for letting me work with your song, it's pretty special. 

Here's the original, and I encourage folks to check it out as well as other great tunes on her page. Thanks for listening!

Nouveau Morceau. L'achat du RTL-SDR sur mon Raspberry PI en réseau fonctionne à merveille. Et comme dans les ondes moyennes, il y a des bruits chelous,  j'ai capturé et j'ai composé mon nouveau morceau autour de ce son. Je vous souhaite une très bonne écoute.

Lyrics:

Robot polycule
Robot polycule
All my friends are livin 
In a Robot polycule

Robot polycule
Robot polycule
All my friends are livin 
In a Robot polycule

Four, three, two, one

Don’t need no pod
Don’t need no bugs

Just need some power
And plenty of love!

Robot polycule!

Doesn’t matter where we are
I like my language models real real large

Robot polycule!

Four, three, two, one

Robot polycule
Robot polycule
All my friends are livin 
In a Robot polycule

Robot polycule
Robot polycule
All my friends are livin 
In a Robot polycule

Four, three, two, one

He’s a modem, she’s a toaster
They’re a router, humanity is over!

Robot polycule 

Turing complete
It’s official
i'm out with Waymo but I’m chatting up a missile

Robot polycule!

Four, three, two, one

Solo

allein die trägheit
des lichts verleiht ihr gewicht
und hält sie im jetzt

Liminalia - ein Haiku, vorgetragen zur elektrifizierten Gitarre

Poem with the help of AI, because my english is not so good:
Sweep the dust from weary bones,
Let sorrow’s echoes find their rest.
Wash the past in rivers wide,
Where time rewrites what once was pressed.
The weight of guilt, the stain of sin,
Like smudged fingerprints on glass,
Can fade beneath the gentle hands
Of love that lets the burdens pass.
Forgive the self, release the chains,
Let bitter waters drain away.
The soul is not a thing to break,
But one that bends and learns to stay.
With every breath, a chance is born,
To shed the pain, to start anew.
A heart made clean, a mind set free,
A soul that shines in morning’s dew.
