Does feel like waving goodbye to Summer with a hint of sadness.

More awesome lo fi surfer guitar shimmer. Nice post!

A really nice track, Artur!  I nice track for the end of summer!

Very lively and liberating piece, Artur!! Uplifting surf, but also beyond!! Always cool ass progressions from you!! We definitely have similar rhythm guitar accentuations, brother!!!I love it!! 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏

Love this surfing sound, perfectly done track with great feel

Hey Artur! Love it man! This sound like some of my recording's bro, in that I often would just let the playing flow. Effectively taking myself on a ride. It's lovely to hear you explore yet maintaining a wonderful composition! ❤️🙏

Excellent, what a tune to wake up to on a Sunday morning.

Oh man, really love that opening riff sound. Kicks off in high gear right off the hop.

Since You Been Gone

after school
runaways
was just the two of us
babe

leave our homes
leave our friends
see where the highway
ends

flying
trying

you never come around now

ever gone
here to stay
you live inside of me
Maeve

in my dream’s
shadow play
until tomorrow comes
stay

crying
trying

you never come around now

until tomorrow comes
stay

Evergone

Lyrics;
Aliens or Angels
Art Bell on the air one night
Said something streaked across the sky
So I searched the stars before morning light
In hope a spaceship would fly by

Watching what's been televised
Hey, are they watching me?
From some dimension as yet unknown
Beyond our technology

Are there Angels down from Heaven
That look out for our soul
Or aliens from outerspace
Who wait to take control

There's a limit to my vision
I'm only flesh and bone
I search for something out there
For some great unknown

Are they here now only waiting
for some fateful day
To show themselves in their true form
In some congenial way

Could eyes out in the universe
See this speck of dust
Orbiting a yellow star
Is someone watching us?

Are there Angels down from Heaven
That look out for our soul
Or aliens from outerspace
Who wait to take control

There's a limit to our vision
We're only flesh and bone
Are there Aliens or Angels
Or are we all alone

George Noory on the air tonight
Speaks of fire in the sky
I search the stars before  morning light
And pray that spaceships will fly by

Aliens Or Angels

Composed, arranged, performed, and produced by:
Carlos Vivanco

Autumn Tears

Sand And Dust

A few things to say.
1. Sorry, this song is a long one: more than seven minutes, too many to expect to have listeners desirous to get to the end of a small marathon. Moreover, it is slow (the first refrain only comes after three minutes or so) and sung in Italian (the English translation is available, but it is never the same thing).
2. The photo shows two actors: Bekim Fehmiu and Irene Papas, protagonists of a wonderful TV series (‘Odissea’) aired in 1968. A show that enriched my childhood and conditioned my imagination (and my reading) forever.
3. I have long wished to be able to write a song about that story within the story of Ulysses' wanderings: his return to Ithaca and his failure to be recognised by Penelope. I succeeded in 1994, then producing a few versions of it. I recorded this one a few years ago, the sound quality was not excellent but now I have taken it up again, singing it all over again and changing the arrangement a little. I hoped at least to recreate an atmosphere musically suited to the story evoked.

LYRICS 

he speaks softly from afar
and his voice is like a stray dog
like a boat you can barely see
like a moon on a swing
suspended on the edge of a sea wave
he holds his breath to follow his song

she sings and as she sings she has dozed off
he takes her hand and
whispers ‘welcome back into my life, welcome back’

she still sleeps and dreams of making love
with this morning shadow
of these colourless eyes 
came from an icy adventure
of days that smell clean
of all nights and all days
of spells, escapes, memories 
of days lost without desires

and if she will not listen to his words,
if evil will not slip from her heart
then who knows
where the wind will settle him
where he will lose himelf
where he will rest

[Penelope]
"Are you the night that burns
are you this sky that falls on me
are you this ship that arrives
are you this fire congealed inside me
... (You're all I need) ..."

she squints her eyes and moves slowly
as if to let the world to feel
all the weight of this abandonment
of this vanished illusion 
of her infinite sadness
sadness that perfume the nights and days
spent alone with this wound

but he is not only the thought of every morning
he is in the sand in the waves
that have always bounced on the shore
he is the cement of this house
is the receding fear
is the storm ever closer
he is this morning shadow
and she will listen to his words
and the sea will deposit him on her heart
and then who knows
maybe the wind will settle 
the circle will close
and she will recognise him

[Penelope]
"... (You're all I need) ...
are you the night that burns
are you this sky that still falls on me
are you this ship that arrives
are you this fire congealed inside me
are you my eyes you are my hands
are you my lips my skin of today and tomorrow
are you this peace that rises again
are you this home to recapture
this night to rest
... (You're all I need) ..."

Nostos (il ritorno di Ulisse) **

'One More Breath' is a Jazz Fusion track inspired by the practice of breathing exercises. Chi-gung, meditation etc. When one arrives at their limit, can one relax and add "One More Breath". Through weeks, months and years of practice, one slowly improves and progress is made. So then "One More Breath" is the inspiration in all activities, to not give up at "the final hurdle".

Prodigal Son

In the dark 
I stumbled blindly
Painful lessons
without you

Empty reasons, 
Endless deceptions
They all talked
as If they knew

What they lacked 
is now apparent
What they sold 
was not the Truth

I searched blindly
in despair,
Only to find you
waiting there

[chorus]
Jesus, 
You are the Bread of Life,
who believes in You has found the light
You are the Bread of Life,
that which endures to eternal life

I hungered and 
I was thirsty,
my soul was dim, 
my heart was weak

My sins were many,
I was fallen
It’s through grace
that I’m still here

I look back, 
my chains are broken
The pain has eased,
You erased my fear

Now it all fits 
so seamlessly
Those who believe
are forever free

Prodigal Son (Paploviante & Cosmic Keanu)

An unnecessarily long song with no true chorus (thank/blame R.E.M. haha!) and, for the first time ever in the whole Behold the Sludge catalogue, no kind of rhyme structure whatsoever. Taking cues from everyday life, the title simply comes from me and my wife telling my daughter to stop mumbling so much. 

“Mumble”

If I told you where I’m going 
Would you say you’re on your own 
And if I knew what I was doing 
I swear I’d let you in 
If the thoughts all made some sense 
I’d tie it all together  
To try and explain the madness 
In one package  

But I never could quite fathom 
Just what they all were chasing 
It never seemed within our reach 
kept drifting farther away 
Through solace and dumb comfort 
The safety was a mirage 
It torched our sanctuary 
Exposed it for what it was 

Mumble, mumble away....

Embrace the aftermath 
The end of the saga 
Whatever comes after 
We still won’t understand it 
So much to comprehend 
Ignorance of common sense 
A voice beneath the surface 
You can’t escape the beast (relent)

And sometimes things just happen
We will never understand 
Put our hands on the glass 
And squeeze it til it cracks 
In our nature was a fear 
Magnifies the gaping void 
Dwells on the blunt trauma 
Brings the motion to a stop 

Mumble, mumble away 

If I told you where we’re going 
Would you even see it through 
No sense of understanding 
Just bleed until it’s all dried up 
No purpose in all that tragedy 
Not one single point 
A hatred of the unknown 
Falling into that hole...

Rise up and shine bright, kid 
This ain’t gonna be a grave 
If the sludge was such a friend 
Why’d it leave you behind?
Below the surface is a bruise
It’s defined you too many times 
Never even got the point 
Just gave up even trying 

Mumble your life away 
Mumble, mumble

Hello, Everyone! Do you like surf rock? Do you like the soundtrack from „Pulp Fiction” and „Kill Bill”? I try to combine surf rock with other styles of music: with indie, psychedelic, space rock, ambient, folk, etc. 🍀 
All pieces on my profile were written by me (unless otherwise noted in the description) 
I hope you will like the vibe 😎🎸

I co-found a duo with my friend from Sweden, Håkan (WELL ) on synthesisers. We have recorded several tracks together, which you can easily find on my profile and on WELL's profile. My friend and I are trying to combine ambient music or space rock with a surf guitar sound in our project. Our collaboration continues 😎 

I am also a member of the project FIFTY ON EARTH together with my friend from Poland, Marcin Jakubowski. You can listen to our tracks  „On the open road to north”,  „Drifting Away” and „Space Crash” on SoundCloud 😎

Notable are my collaborative recordings with a group of wonderful musicians from the USA and from the UK who perform under the banner of The Eclectic Collective. We were able to join forces on seven tracks (compositions of my own making): Surf Dance/ A Time Race/ The One/ See You Soon (in a better world)/ Tell Me The Truth/ Sweet Rainy Day/ Flow Of Life  😎 This music goes beyond classic surf rock and into psychedelic territory with the help of incredibly talented and creative musicians such as Josh Clary (bass), Ken Karasek (drums), J.J. Terrell (keyboards), Tez (guitar) and Stephen (guitar and sitar) 🌞

A separate project is the track "Ghost Train" which was recorded in a quartet, together with Håkan, Josh and Tez. It's psychedelic ambient based on a trance beat, synths, bass and guitars!🌔

Another notable one is the project with my friend from Kansas City - Nathaniel Ehrnman. Together we created a quiet track called "Good Days”. Nathaniel added his guitar parts (slide and baritone) and harmonica to my track. His unique playing style gave the song a folk character 🍀 
In the next track called 'Clouds', our friend Bill Brooks (Remnant60), the producer of these two tracks - joined our duo on synthesizers. This combination of different musical styles gave an interesting final result, so I invite you to listen to these songs! 🌞
A short time later, another project followed: "Between Us”. Bill Brooks added his synthesizers to my guitar part and also took care of the production of this song! This is how the combination of surf music with electronica and shoegaze sound came about. 🌔
Our latest collaborative piece between Bill Brooks and myself is titled: „Things Change”. Bill added his synths and bass to my guitar track and also took care of the production and mixing. The end result is available on our profiles! (Premiere on December 5, 2024) 😎🏄🏼‍♂️

Enjoy the vintage sound of Fender Jaguar and surf music in the new version 😎🎸

MANY THANKS for listening, commenting, reposting and support 😊
