Just Another Teenage Suicide
by Nadia Selvaggi

The clang of a dead ringer's bell ignored
and the Angel of Death draws her sword

You kneel in sorrow at my tomb,
eyes swelling red and wide,
as you lay a flowered wreath of guilt,
and wonder why -- why God took me!

I saw the world through a fog of lies, 
self-hatred and delusion,
but only a child would have come to that conclusion -
and have God take me!

Now, I will always be just another teenage suicide

Now, in the rapture of life 
you sacrifice your own life,
and ask God to take you!

Screaming from above --
can you hear me?

Now, I will always be just another teenage suicide

The clang of a dead ringer's bell ignored,
and the Angel of Death draws her sword

The darkest days still bring 
a soothing voice, a morning sky
And may the veil be lifted
from your weary eyes --
and may God wake you!

Just Another Teenage Suicide by Toshi Rio & Nadia Selvaggi

Atlanta’s “Bog Witch” and Boise’s “Mystic Tape Deck” announce the release of a new collaborative single, “Dogs of Chernobyl” to mark the anniversary of the Chernobyl Disaster.

Following the April 26, 1986 nuclear accident, the City of Pripyat was evacuated. The residents were forced to leave their pets (including domestic dogs) behind.  

Nearly 40 years after the accident, the descendants of these dogs are still living in the Exclusion Zone and a study is currently taking place. 

Scientists are sampling the DNA of the dogs. Apparently, their DNA is irregular in some interesting ways.

Wendy writes “I couldn’t sleep one night and picked-up my phone to surf when I noticed an article about the radioactive dogs of Chernobyl.  Right away it seemed like a song.”  

Wendy invited Mystic Tape Deck to collaborate with her in creating the sonic pallet for this song, the proceeds from all sales of which will be donated to the Clean Futures Fund. 

The Clean Futures Fund relies upon donations to provide medical supplies, vaccines, and food for the dogs living in the Exclusion Zone.  

Donate $1 or more to the Clean Futures Fund via Bandcamp and receive a download of the single: https://mystictapedeck.bandcamp.com/track/dogs-of-chernobyl

Heartfelt thanks to Torbjørn for this composition that he invited Dairv and me to be a part of. With the poetry of Emily Brontë , this became a journey in nature, about hope and about light.
May we take care of our wonderful nature.

Poem by Emily Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848)

VIII
The battle had passed from the height,
And still did evening fall;
While heaven with its restful night
Gloriously canopied all.

The dead around were sleeping
On heath and granite grey,
And the dying their last watch were keeping
In the closing of the day.
·⁠·⁠·⁠·⁠·
How golden bright from earth and heaven
The summer day declines!
How gloriously o'er land and sea
The parting sunbeam shines!
There is a voice in the wind that waves
Those bright rejoicing trees.
·⁠·⁠·⁠·⁠·
Not a vapour had stained the breezeless blue,
Not a cloud had dimmed the sun,
From the time of morning's earliest dew
Till the summer day was done.

And all as pure and all as bright
The sun of evening died,
And purer still its parting light
Shone on Lake Elnor's tide.

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.

Lyrics:
Sitting in a taxi
It is dark outside
Looking out the window
At pictures passing by

I´m just passing by in a taxi
In a capsule

Houses, cars and people
In grey, black and white
Look so large and distant
In electric light

I´m just passing by in a taxi
In a capsule

Neonlights and dim glow
Abstract sighs of light
In lonesome lost places
Attract creatures of the night. 

I´m just passing by in a taxi
In a capsule

Rodolfo https://soundcloud.com/rplanes first shared this beautiful piece with me 2 years ago, which has had a gradual development since I first wrote the lyrics back then. More recently Ce Mastro https://soundcloud.com/cemastro added some exciting backing vocals which transformed the chorus and then even more recently we invited Dave McKeown https://soundcloud.com/dave-mckeown to contribute some lovely sax that we believed was just what the song needed. Rodolfo's song has such a feeling of romantic innocence yet with a wonderful rhythmic flow, that I hoped the words might feel from a simpler time. We hope you all enjoy our song of innocence (and inexperience) which thankfully is a work of fiction. Thanks again to Rodolfo for sharing this magical piece and his great skills as well as Ce and Dave's unique gifts to make this one happen. 
We thank you all for taking the time to listen.

Almost Lovers (by Rodolfo Planes / Mark Bennett)

Once we were almost lovers, without a care.
We weren’t like all the others, somehow we just didn’t dare.
We never faced the fact,
What we had wasn’t real,
Didn’t have to deal,
With the truth while we were putting on an act
We’d have to pay,
And quite how that would feel.

The moment when I discovered, not wanting to share,
You with any of the others, that I just couldn’t bear.
But when my back was turned,
You made out with a guy,
I thought was my friend.
Then I knew that my world had been overturned,
Put out to dry,
And what a way to end.

It’s not the way that I’d hoped this scene would play out,
Leaving the stage in the first act. 
It was cruel but at least I was left in no doubt.
C’est la vie, as a matter of fact.

Were never really lovers, just make believe.
Like sister and brother, with only ourselves to deceive.
I should have known right then,
I’d be out on my ear 
Instead of in love.
Waiting for the finale, not knowing when,
I’d disappear,
When the push comes to shove.

It’s not the way that I’d hoped this scene would play out,
Leaving the stage in the first act. 
It was cruel but at least I was left in no doubt.
C’est la vie, as a matter of fact.

Performed on Steinway Spirio Model D at Curtis Schwartz Studio, Sussex, England.  (for information on the Spirio:  https://youtu.be/2kj2Oy3qkuY?si=9v_MTp3gUFGvZgR)

Inspirations: Arnold Schoenberg, Thelonius Monk, Richard Fairhurst.

Art is valuable because it “creates little worlds of its own…in the bosom of this disordered planet”, but those little worlds have no necessary impact on the great world; they may exist only as sanctuaries of private consolation. (Wilfred Stone, commenting on E.M. Forster's quote)

Over the past few years, Carlos (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1, https://carlosvivanco1.bandcamp.com/) has helped me navigate a mountain of information on music theory, and taught me some basics on playing the piano as well. Our collaborations are always a great opportunity to cement those ideas into sounds. 

For our 5th collaboration, he sent me a very cool Harmonic Cadence foundation (piano, cello, drums and xylophone), moving the tonalities by 5ths along the way. He also explained that all I needed to do was refer to my lessons on Minor Pentatonics and transitioning by 5ths to fill in the gaps appropriately. I’m thrilled to actually understand what that means now. :) 

Plus, he provides me creative counting methods (that I might otherwise overlook). This is an 8/8 song, but the count is 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2; so I get to use mathematics to place my notes at key points along that count. I get to combine the best of both worlds (mathematics and creativity) into one space… and that’s a lot of fun. 

So Carlos, thanks for being such a positive influence in my life. I’ve learned so much from you. I am truly grateful for your time, your teachings, and your friendship. I love working with you, and I love how this song turned out.

And to the rest of our Soundcloud friends, we hope you enjoy our 5th collaboration, ‘Twelfth Knight’. :)

Scores to this track can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNskWHKp_kE.

This piano piece is dedicated to all people that need to leave. Their homes, their loved ones, their lifes that they had so far. Because they see no future, because some regime presses them to go to war, because they have broken with their loved ones. All the best to you and may you find a new home!

Compositionwise: The piece is structured into 4 parts (starting @0:02, @0:45, @1:38 and @2:44). Each of the parts starts with a question-like motive built around Ninths. As with most of my pieces, I investigate applied perturbation theory also in this track by starting these 4 parts almost – but only almost – with the same notes and exploring, how initially tiny tweaks in the beginning of the parts evolve over time into distinctly different melodies, harmonics and moods.
Overall, the piece constantly oscillates between melancholic minor and consoling major harmonies and periods of relative calm interrupted by more restless forward driving parts. The transitions between the parts are made more seamless by ritardandos and by question-answer pairs such as e.g, @ 1:28 or @ 2:33. Most of the accompaignment in the left hand is in Vienna classic-like triad decompositions but for the climax of the track starting @ 2:02, the left hand switches to rock-piano-like octave jumps to increase the sense of emotional agitation. The track starts in A major and ends in Eb major which is said to be a warm and melancholic tonality. Tthe two keys are opposite each other (6 jumps away), so I guess, this is the maximum range of modulation possible to emphasize the sense of distance and leaving. 
The track can also be found on Spotify and on Youtube. Enjoy!

Leaving (Solo Piano)

A fairly uninhibited venture into traditional tonal Melodic-Harmonic territory in which the object of the exercise was to please the senses with completely recognisable tonal stimuli, this track is a reworking of f,,,Mmm,m,mmmm a piece I composed originally in 2019. In the current revision I could not resist the impulse to make several 'daring' modulations which may place more of a burden on the listener than was my original intention
I made use in this case of the eMastered online mastering service.

白起（Bai Qi）【？〜B.C.257】

A great general of Qin. During his lifetime, he defeated nearly one million enemy soldiers, laying the foundation for Qin's unification of the world.

Sima Qian described Bai Qi as "taking advantage of the enemy's ability to change his strategy and unleash an infinite number of strange strategies, and his momentum shook the heavens."

At the Battle of Changping he killed many enemy soldiers.
He is said to have been buried.
Some say that a quarter of China's population at the time took part in the battle.

In the end, he was forced to commit suicide due to Fan Ju's tactics.
If Bai Qi had allied with Fan Ju, the Qin state might have unified the world during the reign of King Zhao.

秦国大将。他一生击败敌军近百万，为秦统一天下奠定了基础。

司马迁形容白起是“趁着敌人改变策略的能力，释放出无数奇葩，气势震天动地”。

据说长平之战时，他活埋了很多敌军士兵。
有人说，当时中国四分之一的人口参加了这场战斗。

最终，他被范雎的计谋逼得自杀。
如果白起与范雎结盟，秦国也许会在昭王统治时期统一天下。

"Unfold Me"

Lyrics by Craig Conley,
after a riddle by James Hoggarth (1880)

Anywhere
that you go
you'll behold me

Woodlands and
pastures I
sometimes abound

On your travels
you will surely unfold me

I've thousands of annums roll'd a-ground
In cottage and mansion I am seen
Not a stitch of clothing clings to my form
Not a toe or a foot to my being
Yet countless shoes any size oh have I worn

Anywhere that you go you'll behold me
Wander far, wander wide, you'll unfold me
Now the secret I'll reveal: my name is dust

Unfold me - ft. Neons Gone Mad

lyrics:
Another day goes by
another war inside my head

another trace of fear
but i never won't give in

Another night passed by
another midnight washed my sins

but i will face the day
no i never won't look grim


You said go and face your demons
don't let another day get wasted!

Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh


Another year goes by
another book of memories 

and time doesn't wait
doesn't wait for no one

and don't you look away
you have to stand on your own feet

no matter what will come
you have to get your shit together


fight the good fight
fight the good fight

This song has a longer celtic folk intro, then turns into a mixture of blues rock elements and melodic rock ballad parts  and ends with a bluesy guitar solo impro...not so typical for this band, but I did it in my own way...
