Alice Deeper Down

Couldn't fit in this experimental track with the current Alice Deeper repertoire so I bombarded this ADD profile to host a side project of the same name.
Although the track is a VST test mostly, hence I didn't take the time to craft a proper lead-in, and the ending is a bit sharp too.

Still, the subject is the apparent collapse of sanity and decency of the world's population, the institutions shaking on their foundations, a completely misguided revolt based on conspiracy nutballery fueled by social media algorithms that were designed simply to have more engagement with these media platforms, as that means more money - and if that means setting people up against one another, creating more and more division - whatever gets people talking, means people interacting with the social media, means more money. Good job. Civilization is on the verge of collapse as a result. Back to the time of Barbarian?


Am I being pessimistic?

PS. the vocals are NOT my voice. They are a speech synthesizer, one of the VSTs on test in this track.

Anyway, lyrics:

humanity's division feeds back upon itself
animosity forgets it's own undoing is required
dwell in victimhood and exclude for scarcity
it is perceived to be deception but foundations are in void

unrest control, spirit denied
utilitarianism arise
cognition in flames, dreadful desires,
materialism collapsed on all sides

The Looming Collapse

The switch turns on. It’s when I’m swimming, when I’m flying, when I’m stopped.
Turninng on the switch is the temptation of the deliciousness of the fish.

Put it in my beak. Don’t miss the target prey. When dive river, and I’m eating.
Even if it is hated, hated or annoying, no one can stop, no can stop, can’t stop my beak.

The king of the river, who reigns instead of the dragon, the Common Cormorant.
Black thunder lightning, electric shock, the black king is diving horribly beautiful.

An army marches on its stomach.
As you may know, universal traditions exist like water.
It’s okay for us all to be hungry.
Hard rainy Common Cormorant Waltz.
Hard rainy Common Cormorant Waltz.

Both black diamonds and Black pearls shine.
Just I’m in Dark side. The night creates the morning light.
An evil tongue is also a word of love, so let it flow down the Danube and forgive it.

Clear river water, the power of the Sewerage Treatment Plant.
Landscape, my city, residential , real wildness remains in the river’s ecosystem.
Pure white polka dots of asphalt, the black king is drawing from on electric wire.

美しく黒きカワウ～The Beautiful Black Common Cormorant～日本語バージョン

Yo change the frequency
It was she depleted me
Radio wavelength short
It’s prime attack your fort
I can’t hear your sound
It was lost now it’s found
Love escapes the hate
It’s jumping over gate
We will see you in there
She was screaming she cares
Love affairs are made 
She was hiding in the shade
They say the sun hurts
But what hurts worse
Is your curse
Dylan hiding in verse
Yo change the frequency
I left normality
Half turn the dial
Rotate your smile
There is little left
And I’m sorry I’m half deaf
I couldn’t hear your name
And I can’t walk I’m lame
You look pretty good
Can’t remember when I stood
The say the war starts
Burn your tongue pop tarts
Can’t believe I’m hear
Send a pigeon you’re near
Smoke signal is a farce
Put the Whisky in glass
Yo change the frequency
Put in jail the regency
All brains no common sense
Punch the boxing dense
Head
I read your profile
Stay for a while
We can cheat
Hear our voices entreat 
We are the capital
No need nuptials
We are already one
Pull it out you have fun
Took it in your hands
And I could smell your glands
Rub it on my bits
Epilem don’t have fits
But when I see you
I want to do everything 
At once
Brain dead to be dunce

Brain dead
Write down what’s said
I won’t forget wish
Eat the fish on Lent
I’ll be your man
Said you don’t give a damn
Cause you love me
Above me you stand
I am slipping on sand
Looking up your skirt
See my blush I’m a flirt
Rosy cheek 
And I love you all week
You change the frequency
Sick of your nicety 
Can you please be real?
We can work out a deal
Where one of us wins

Yo Change The Frequency

Musique / Music performance : Christian Levitan 
Paroles et chant / Lyrics and vocal : Lukowig

Lyrics:
Le vent chauffe ma peau à blanc
ce temps me glace jusqu'aux flancs
je sens la trace de ses dents
sur mon visage : excédant !

J'ai les foix :
le froid d'hiver m'altère...
Quel effroi :
sang froid dans mes artères.

Pourquoi me bises-tu autant ?
De moi es-tu épris oh temps ?
Sur mes lèvres tu t'acharnes
tu les crèves les décharnes...

J'ai les foix :
le froid d'hiver m'altère...
Quel effroi :
sang froid dans mes artères.

Que de sang froid dans les doigts !
Fièvreux sans froid frileux sans toi
qui sait me réchauffer à blanc
qui claque des dents sur mon flanc...

Sang froid...

Holy Shoota

3rd track from Grundomma
Grundomma is myself and my brother Glenn Ward. It's been a few years since we actively made music together...but now seems like a good a time as any. We live a few 1000 kms apart across Australia so this a file swapping exercise. Pretty Fucken Colours features  samples from the documentary 'JIsoe"  - an hour long look at the life of legendary graffiti artist and train bomber Justin Hughes.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp8ZNqaG-dE
Filmed in 2005 Its a fascinating look into disaffected Australian suburban life, street art and mental health. Thanks as always for stopping by. Grundomma salutes you : )

Pretty Fucken Colours

One of the first people I met on this platform was the wonderful Societe Cantine. He listened with open ears and offered indepth thoughts on my music and sparked conversation and experimentation. He, himself a mind-blowing sound artist, has released a  string of albums over the last decade that still sing with originality and genre breaking optimism. We danced round the edges of collaboration for a longtime, adding little bits of sound to bigger projects or producing video. Just before COVID hit the world we finally met in Paris - I had so much talk about, as did he.. like children we struggled with face to face language; his english is good, my french is terrible : ) We decided that we should finally start collaborating in depth and this is the first piece - conceived and played with, back and forth during lockdown COVID times. Naturally enough we titled it Language Gap after our initial stumbling meeting. It got an honourary mention in the 2023 One Minute Radio Festival and through that has been played all over the world . Fardeau Losange (as he now known) and I are working now, very slowly on some sort of album - it will take forever, but its almost secondary to the friendship that has grown around the music we have listened to, written and shared on this platform.   https://societecantine.bandcamp.com/album/lopacit-des-interlignes

nebulous forms sometimes take place and sometimes don't. these kind of forces are dependent upon other forces which indicate the correct passageways for the christening of ideas. such parabolas are not easily schematised and not easily abstracted from a larger collection of ideas and their genesis pool. the archways and other ornamental features are only conceivable as semi immaculate, which is a betrayal of their form in multi-dimensional phase space. 

Relm - incorrect cartomancy.

Dani and i the night before the launch of our new record just trying to shake off the cobwebs as we have had a few weeks without  jamming and now we better get our shit together: )  Album info .......The Rat Palace was our studio from when we first started seriously working together in 2016 until the landlords decided it was time for the artists to go and the tourists to come. It had been Mat's base since 2009 and hosted dozens of artists and musicians since it first started in 2006.
As the name suggests the place was run down, lacked various things like hot water, proper access and heating but it had a vibe, and the people we shared the space with all felt and helped to create it....Creativity was everywhere, day after night after day for years.
These 7 improvisations are a tiny fraction of the jams we had there, just a few highlights from 100s of jams. They are raw, unpolished and unconcerned with anything outside the moment. We rarely 'rehearsed' as such at the Rat Palace - just played.
Things come and things go - Vale Rat Palace, you were amazing.

Drink Wank Cry - Hexfarm

The Neo-infantiles are a  band that claim to not be a band, just killing time. The only thing they have in common is being disabled. The Boofer only has one arm and sings and plays the guitar, badly. Breakage plays the drums and has no legs, Breakage has asked me to not disclose that he has no legs (sucker to trust me). Heard plays the bass, badly again, and is profoundly deaf in one of his King Lear's and lives with a screeching noise in it and does not care what he sounds like (I love him like I love me). Forget plays guitar too but Forget has had a severe-traumatic scone injury and never remembers any of the songs. He tries his hardest though and he is also like a brother. Pain builds unity. Then there is Shakes who hangs around and sings sometimes, he has post-traumatic Epilepsy and often fits, spits, froths and shakes. The ladies, punk ladies, love him the most even although he often pisses his pants



STBI has left me more than half-deaf so if the tones are off, don't shoot me. If writing stories is mind masturbation, then what do you call writing songs? >> Still the most pleasant part of my day

Welcome to the load-bearing wall of sound.

Music: No boundaries / Knows no boundaries. I don’t look anything like my profile photograph; I'm actually slightly shorter and a figment of my own delusions.

I’m also known as the wild man of transcendental meditation.

संगीत: कोई सीमा नहीं। / कोई सीमा नहीं जानता।. मैं अपनी प्रोफ़ाइल फ़ोटो की तरह कुछ भी नहीं देखता; मैं वास्तव में थोड़ा छोटा हूं।

Музыка: Без границ / не знает границ. Я совсем не похож на фотографию своего профиля; Я на самом деле немного короче.

الموسيقى: بلا حدود / لا تعرف حدود. لا أبدو مثل صورة ملفي الشخصي ؛ أنا في الواقع أقصر قليلاً.

音乐：无界限/无界限。我看上去不像我的个人资料照片；我实际上略矮一些。
