To and From Silver City

Funny Kind of Sad

"I confess that I wasn't thinking about the audience." I felt like I could change my own mind when I was making it by applying effects. Seriously, seriously, seriously, I thought so. .
I listened to various artists' songs on Soundcloud every night, and spent several days "flavoring" this song. It's just a midnight game. But the song is filled with intense tension.

Will the effects change my mind? (239)

Abyss Of Salamis - Άβυσσος Της Σαλαμίνας

Transfixed Traffic Lyrics

Our narrator slowly dips into a bit of a mental state and basically shuts down. Much like the traffic that isn't moving at all. 

Lyrics;
The tail lights on the freeway
Go on for miles and miles
And it's looking like I'll be here
for quite a long long while

In the middle lane
No place to turn
Home is so far away
I feel a real concern

The traffic on this freeway
Has me trapped me in this car
A claustrophobic feeling
Like a bee caught in a jar

Heavy rain is coming down
The wind is screaming
ominous sounds
And no one's moving
Like a bunch of trees rooted to the ground

It's an atmosphere of madness
My mind has gone off track
On a road of no return
And no way to turn back

Traffic jam goes on and on
I'm locking on to tail light glare
Going catatonic
'Cause I'm not going anywhere

My hands melt to the wheel
My feet become the pedals
The rest of me no longer feels
And I harden into metal

Heavy rain is coming down
The wind is screaming
ominous sounds
And no one's moving
Like a bunch of trees rooted to the ground

And the tail lights on the freeway
Go on for miles and miles
And it's looking like I'll be here
for quite a long long while

Transfixed Traffic

King Arthur

This track was developed based off a poem written by the same name and the emotiveness evoked from within it. In the semblance of life, there are crackles "spackling" the loveliness of the everyday. 

When we experience things in life, it is always wise to remember all of whom we are, deep within us. When we do this, the easier it is to keep everything else in an appropriate perspective... remembering everyone and everything are simply... energy. We are merely the vessels in which energy is processing through each life cycle in the physical three dimensional world. 

We can get caught up in the man made constructs, verbiage, judgments, etc. and permit them to disrupt the flow of our energy... or we can allow the energy to flow to us, through us, and then... beyond us. We can choose to absorb it, ask it to be returned to the sender, or (as we've chosen to begin as our own practice...) ask it to simply be returned to the earth for transmutation into the growth medium for something lovely, BEautifying, and helpful to the earth and for the potentiality of enrichment for all. We hope you enjoy this piece as much as we enjoyed creating it.

This piece was produced in the 432HZ range so please do not drive or operate machinery while listening to this track... and listen to the track through wireless headphones at a lower volume to receive the optimum effects. As always, we thank you for taking some time for yourself and your self care... with our music.

There are some who treat 
Hearts and minds like their toy
Who think they are subtle or coy 
With their ploys. 

You do not understand 
Things permanently etch into our brain…
Think we don’t remember names
Merely because we didn’t previously entertain.

Make believe your games 
Aren’t totally apparent
But, let me assure you,
What hurts the most is…
You’re ridiculously transparent.

You couldn’t be any more transparent.

What hurts the most is…
You’re ridiculously transparent.

WHAT'S THIS TUNE CALLED work in progress

method: recording semitone sequences, layering, morphing with pedals while recording,  layering, panning tiny critters, layering, etc. headphones recommended
narration: shallow waters. seaweed. the powers it forces. the powers that force it. since it is hard to hear through the water's surface,the written-out poem can be found below. seaweed has oh some many overlapping voices ..... like the multivocal waves themselves

poem / copyright jo richter:

what hides within me
remains well-hidden
until it awakes
stirs and elopes

from far without me
adaptive swaying
in flow with the current
tentacle tides

deceptively timid
quite unassuming
tumbler of shadows
living on light

protruding from vastness
ancient sea giants
sediment trances
supporting frail roots

seaweed sensibilities

A synthwavy remix of of the original tune by Alberto Jose Gonzalez.

========== Lyrics ==========

Out in the field, at night
I find myself twirling out of space
It’s like a dream, it seems...

There comes times where I don’t really care
About what goes on around 

All I hear is my boom box going hard
Out over here, nobody seems to notice us
At times I may have my own reasons
But never will I turn you my back 

We’re alright, we go our ways
We stumble down just to build up 
Taking hold of us again

Out in the field, we dance endlessly 
Out over here where you can see the city
We don’t dwell into tomorrow’s worries
We live for now and glorious memories 

We don’t mind, we don’t mind nothing 

We are at our rhythm 
We don’t care about your competition 
Nothing sane in soulless repetition 

We’re alright, we go our ways
We stumble down just to build up 
Taking hold of us again

Our Ways

Our Ways (ft. Janelle)

Thank you  for visiting my world, I'm eager to share! 
I 've been composing electro for about 20 years but started this new project 2 years ago, when the band in which I played bass splited. A large amount of the music I love the most was recorded before 1980. Among these revered groups , Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Ange or King Crimson stand out. Over the years, I've also been very fond of many diverse bands and songwriters (The Doors; The Beatles; Bowie; Neil Young; Deep Purple; Led Zep; Patti Smith; U2; The Police; Massive Attack; Chemical Brothers; Killing Joke; Marillion; Morphine; Nirvana; The Young Gods; Dominique A; Noir Désir...). My most recent experience is "Conil" and I encourage you to discover this awesome singer and songwriter here on SC.
More related to my own production, one could find influences from Vangelis, Jarre, Björk, Oldfield, Numan, Kraftwerk and other pioneers. Finally, I should mention the great soundtrack composers such as Ennio Morricone, Wendy Carlos or Hans Zimmer.
My desire is to be a tiny part of the great admirable family of composers and musicians in order to explore the infinity of musical combinations that our mind offers...
Feel free to comment or criticize my plethoric prod!
