This is a single-take recording of a jam session at The Premises, London. We aimed to evoke the mythological sirens of the sea who were believed by the Greeks to cause shipwrecks - a theme inspired by our scheduled performance at The Fishermen's Chapel, Leigh on Sea in May 2025. There are hundreds of shipwrecks off the coast of Leigh on Sea and the surrounding coastline. We open with the sounds of a hand-made sandbox containing sand and gravel collected (by moonlight!) from the beach near the chapel. Track image: Patricia McGahan.

Down to the sea in ships

Original score inspired by the Collin Armstrong novel Polybius

Lyrics:

I must have some weight
I must have some wind
To hold me down

Waving from Purgatory
The content of my soul
Let me go

I heard you had grief 
I heard you had relief
Let me carry it home

Nothing defeats a happy home
Nothing defeats me all alone

Waving from Purgatory
The content of my soul
Let me go

I must have the moon
I must have the sun
To hold me down

Nothing defeats a happy home
Nothing defeats me all alone
I hear you had relief
Let me carry it home

 Lyrics:
Band despised
or outright
Harmony in molars lied
Despite rolling motors on the home
Remaining obviance on the roam
Howard road skates like ice
Ours was a simian vice
Like lo-tecs living off rice
Sole bared this tiled piece
The soil buried the deceased
Poor animal
Awakens outside
This is his tomb and his grave, his rising tide
The populace ride
Overdressed and under weighed
Fan blood that is saved
Fan vote Jobraic
Outdoes his life
Mute media heats a knife
To saith:
"Go thou beneath me, little and afraid
Away in some dark corner to stay"
He is a hunter, not a spy
One shadow he pulls under
Poor animal, he cannot fight
There once was a widdle
who goes there for our war
Only my serpent eye
which rolled when hit the floor
Saddle recognition
Like pool like bike
Our service for this peace
Like servants all diseased
Mock of the Mandrill
Hawk of the hand - will
Wait for the stick to be thrown 
and then go after it alone
A search recommended by name
and algorithm locked
Poor animal
that is tamed
then unlocked

Lyrics:
Singers in
November dawn
Board drought forever stolen pawn
Here's a steady rhythm
Banging out over muscle
On long garden
Lawn length epistle
Evening a strike
Orange from horizontal glow
Gregorian hymn
Hers heard in an ear she doesn't know
He will stand there and wait
I am yesterday
I am cassette tape
Warmer working this muscle that is tight
Blind stories tell
of a blind night
or of the smallest glimmer
that escapes all others' sight

I am Summer/Winter
Vernal/Autumnal
You are November
Equinoctial

November Solstice

Paul Amlehn - Concept, catalyst texts, titles, editing, spoken word performance, decision to remove spoken word, production
Robert Fripp - Soundscapes
Joan Jeanrenaud - Electric cello, mixing of cello and soundscapes
Gerhard Richter -  Painting

This composition is from the album Saudade.

The album was to have soundscapes by Robert Fripp (King Crimson), electric cello by Joan Jeanrenaud (Kronos Quartet), and spoken word by myself. In the end, I decided that the music said more without the spoken word, so I took my contributions off the album. However, Joan composed, in part, her cello to the poems I wrote, so the texts nonetheless remain in the compositions dissolved and woven in at a subliminal level.

Libretto:

You are my little baby
Come to me
I'll take care of you
I won't let anyone hurt you.

You have always looked for something of me in the world
And now you have found me
Here I am 
Waiting for you.
