We Control Your Dream

Dreams, nightmares and insomnia

collaborations With Teth Sin and Furico Music Team and related works

Wow  - round four. I know, that these PLs are pretty bloated and it reflects really ALL styles and tracks i discover here on Soundcloud. I dont have a superduper algorythm implemented in my brain which tells me what to put on here and not - this is a "in the moment" decision and as the name reflects -> is a collection of what i found and really like up here. 

If youre on this list, i did not only enjoy your tracks, you made it on this little archive here which, maybe or not, someone likes and might listen to one or another of the tracks in it. I appreciate it, and those artists for sure! Repost and like it, or not - its up to you. I am still continuing to discover all of you and collect some of your works!

Much love, yours, Cmd. SF

This track has been produced as an entry for a compilation which might possibly be released someday as digital album on BandCamp. A link to it will be added here whenever it will be out. I'm grateful to the organizer for having been invited to participate, I'm sure it will be an awesome set. And it has been a honour and a pleasure for me to collaborate once again with Her (Vocal) Majesty Myrh (@myrhyum | @tariqa-kali) on this piece, which wouldn't make sense without her contribution.

Ease High [video in description]

We can't remind what we don't know, whatever it is.
Our brains are  chests with strange drawers.
I'm going to put away somewhere in my heart that I made you cry today.

We'll keep creating nightmares, using our memories as material.

I guess my personality is made up of a vast accumulation of memories.
Memories determine patterns of behavior, and the same mistakes are made again and again.

We'll keep creating nightmares, to organize the data we have.

I don't know the line between a dream and a nightmare, but.

They say our memory capacity is about 18TB.
That's about all the joy and sorrow I've felt.
With a little money, We might be able to recreate it on AWS or something.

We'll keep creating nightmares, You know dogs dream too, right?

Nightmare

i don't think i'm going home, this thing won't leave me alone..I've got fragments of the sun and moon imbedded in the core of my cerebral stem.. and of course there is that key That's allegedly buried in this pile of sacred rocks in space that supposedly unlocks the gate that holds the dog and holds the bone and blocks the path that takes me home.

Check yourself, what are you feeling at the present moment..Some times i can feel the giant moving slightly in it's sleep.. just like Vishnu dreaming high in the mountain valleys of the mighty Himalayas.

The tiny silver thread, transcendent of the reckless life we led, A raging river way down below. The moment when you finally realize it's finally time to go..
oh beloved sister's of the Storm, thank you for appearing in your human form 

what could i do, what could i say, i guess i thought that i was on my way to another nervous breakdown..The taste of life so sweet upon our tongues, We were Gods when we were young...

These lyrics are to be found in an entirely different  setting in a collaboration with Furico Music Team and Teth Sin, on Teth Sin's site called "The Mighty Himalayas"

Beloved Sisters Of The Storm

It's a real pleasure for me to introduce this work, which has probably been the most interesting, complex and somehow challenging collaborative session I ever joined so far, at least in terms of rearrangement tasks.
It all started with an early version of a piece by The FURICO Music Team (@user-596493783) called "Mood Of Two" (https://soundcloud.com/user-596493783/double-beat-swing - feel free to take a look at the production notes as well, at https://furicomusicteam.blogspot.com/p/mood-of-two.html). We had been planning a collaboration for a while, so they sent me this groovy composition of theirs, both audio and midi files, allowing me the freedom to do whatever I wanted with them. 
On the one hand, I was intentioned to respect the original structure of the piece, and after listening to their own final version of it, released in late February 2021, I was literally blown out by all of the cool electro-psych features they'd added to the original tune, so my aim was delivering a rendition of that new vibe as well. On the other hand, I wanted to do it my own way, spicing it up with a typical Teth Sin flavour. 
First of all, I resampled the original drums tracks, trying to give them an acoustic feel. Then I replaced the bassline with my own, somehow developing it with a fair amount of variations; I overdubbed a couple of electric guitar tracks, and an electric piano part.
It was about time to add vocals as well, so I asked my friend Stonerjazz (@user-911083679) if he wanted to join in, remembering him being a big fan of The FURICO Music Team too. He enthusiastically accepted, as I'd expected, and a few days later he sent me a recording of him singing one of his amazing poems on the pre-existing, swingy backing track. He's recently released a ballad version of these lyrics (at https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679/beloved-sisters-of-the-storm), which is of course totally different and still very cool. 
I adapted his vocals stem on the sections where I wanted the singing to appear, and I finally added to most of the tracks a few weird, stuttering effects. This final sound design stage was crucial in order to deliver the kind of sound I was looking for. My aim was distilling a proper mixture of our combined styles, and I think my efforts paid off. Regardless of the aesthetic value of this work, it has been an extremely interesting experience for us, we all had fun and we're satisfied with it. 
I'd like to conclude by quoting Stonerjazz's first reaction when he listened to the final mix: "Well, Mick... What can I say about this elixir...?"
Big thanks to my awesome collaborative partners!

LYRICS:

The tiny silver thread, transcendent of the reckless life we led,
the raging river way down below...
It's like the moment when you realize it's finally time to go.
Oh beloved sisters of the storm,
Thank you for appearing in your human form...
What could I do, what could I say... I guess that I was on my way to another nervous breakdown.
The taste of life so sweet upon our tongues...
We were gods when we were young.
I don't think I'm going home, this thing won't leave me alone

I've got fragments of the sun and moon enbedded in the core of my cerebral stem...
And of course there is that Key that's allegedly buried in this pile of sacred rock in space
that supposedly unlocks the gate that holds the dog and holds the bone and blocks the path that takes me home.
Check yourself, what are you thinking at the present moment.
Sometimes I can feel the Giant moving slightly in his sleep.
Just like Vishnu dreaming high in the mountain valley
of the Mighty Himalayas...

Curious how cats are Space Cat jumps through the glowing ring and enters the realm of Mighty Meow, the enlightened cat who possesses immeasurable wisdom and knows the answer to the question about life, the universe and all the rest... 😂

Space Cat's spaceship urgently needs new winter tires and the fuel supplies are also running low. 😂
So he took a job as a DJ in a club on Neptune 9 - the home planet of Synthwave! 😀

mother mother may i have another moment in the light
sister brother seeking renovation in a nation with an ugly reputation
but never meeting in the middle
and craters morphing into something more connected
Lovers haters
closely followed by the wind that wanders all about
while we shout
we didnt know the difference and we didnt till much later
When the blooms had all fallen from the bush
and i was standing at the crossroads
smoking cigarettes with god
while she was telling jokes about the devil

Always hope to give and get
a final gesture of concern
thats not too much to ask
all things being equal as they are
how far we must have traveled and when we wagered on a winner
and free dinner and other things that sings
about a history told by a boneless prophet in a moment of reprisal
on that holy desert, about a twirly girly and a swirly apparition

Will you tell me if you know the truth about the candle in the window
and why it's lit, and the whereabouts of the lighter
was he a fighter in the revolution where the Guiot tine was king?

it didnt matter to the mother, she was not appeased
and dreadful weather it continued unabated,
they should have left it, but they didn't
being human as they are
bit it really didnt change the nature of the crisis,

The silent witness standing on the corner in the Rain
finially had a reason to recite
the dictim of the ages. burning pages after pages after pages
as she read them in a rage...

Enter

Well.. I started this track almost a year ago? Thank goodness for Sander's (https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer) patience. This track means a lot to me in a lot of ways.. The longer I didn't move forward the harder it was to return to it.  However, I got really inspired when the fall and winter came back because this song definitely has a late fall / wintery feel. 

I go from feeling really good about it to OMG I need to delete all my vocals and start over. However, it must be released regardless. It may not be perfect but that is fine. It is a song from two people who don't live remotely near each other. That in itself is a beautiful feat that must be appreciated. On top of that Sander's music meeting my strange cadence and expression creates a vibe never before experienced. Of course there is the story.  

The story is of course lovers caught in a 1984-esque scenario. However, I also wrote with the inspiration of current events.  I think that is also why I wanted to release it as soon as I could.. I think it has an element of needed catharsis.  However, I am very joyful to finally release this!! so much thanks for listening if you do <3

lyrics:


 Underneath it all 
 Behind the brick and mortar tall 
Slowly becoming barren like the  fall
Trees that wish to stalll 
The distance from the sun the Earth revolves
Spring time rebirth is far 
And they're putting on the final straw

People watching revert to simple awe
As so many lines start becoming crossed
Power through crimes whats the cost
Of an entire world bound and lost
Warming up but still crowned in frost
Made hostage by the hostile law 
The coverage is constant like a coke withdrawal 
Never budging like a water soaked log
We need a fire but all we got is smoke like fog 
That obscures our view of hope till its gone

Try
Try to smile for me
Lets pretend we are free
Right Here 
While we’re Wrapped in each others arms
We know we are safe from harm


 Please turn off the radio 
When its on your eyes lose their glow 
Those voices speak poison don't you know 
They’ve chosen to keep us dull and low
Stay poised and don’t let you mind go
To where it naturally wants to the most 
Keep your cards close 

To your chest 
And never tell the rest 
Keep your secrets buried deep within your breath 
People can be trusted less and less
This is all for your best interest 
I can already tell when your thoughts want to burst from your head

I know it hurts but think of our past blessings instead
Remember when I met you back in summer of 07?
As soon as I saw you I knew within just a couple of seconds
That you were someone who was homesick for heaven 

It was a bit of a miracle you even talked to me
I was never social my thoughts never Let me be free
But you fought through my walls so playfully 
Your kiss must have worked like an open sesame 
You showed me a whole world anew a little like Disney 
It’s a little cheesy and thinking of it has me dizzy 
Your love has always made me sick like a disease 
Butterflies from you make a hurricane erupt in me


I was hoping this day would never come
But I think it was time to grab our things and run
I’d rather die than see you under a gun
Being forced to give in and succumb 
To these wicked men or whatever they have become

I no longer see any trace of love in their eyes
They despise anything that looks like life
Reflecting off of the sheen of their knives
If we leave now there is cover under disguise of night
It’s fight or flight and we both know what is right

Try (Wane of Summer & Cycle of Hands)

wow. WOW. It is released. It has been "finished".

This has been one of the most challenging and rewarding collaborations to date. Interesting as *thommo* (https://soundcloud.com/thommo_tunes) was the first person I ever collaborated with over soundcloud. Our first track "Alchemy" kind of just fell together within weeks.  4am not only took over a year but has 3 very different versions.   The first version was 6 minutes long, very fast and the lyrics were much darker.  The second had the same lyrics but the beat was much different. 
*thommo* and I started going in different directions and we both kind of threw our hands up. My communication dropped off due to life changes. *thommo* every now and then would send a message reflecting on wanting to revisiting the track but I was consumed with a far different life than I was living the first time we collaborated. 

However, *thommo* kept pushing on this track and eventually sent me the first draft of this newest version and all of the excitement and passion jumped alive. It was the best of what both of us saw the tracks potential as.  

So HERE WE ARE! Full circle with our completed collaboration ready for your listening enjoyment.  From EllE of Cycle of Hands and *thommo* we bring you: 

4 A.M.

lyrics:

There are some things that wait until the quiet
Time of night
To take over your mind before the day gets bright
When everyone’s still asleep I feel like I might
Be the only one alive so I look to the sky

I take comfort in the stars and the moon in despite
Of their distance from my room where I sit and write
Pieces of ideas from this muse deep inside
She’s the higher form I use to free my light

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

I Ignite a little fire to see where I am
In the A.M. I get tired but I still can’t land
Mayhem of creation doesn’t care about plans
I made when my intention was lights out by 9

But Inspiration beckons and I can’t reject the call
If it is passed to me it’s disrespect if I drop the ball
Of energy like electricity from the wall
It’s all I see and I know its me who needs to crack this vault

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

It’s 4 am and 
The world is small
This screen the window 
And my wall

No sounds are heard
Except my own thoughts
They go Back and forth 
And it ticks me off

My eyes are glued to this new creation 
I can’t stop, drop or leave this inspiration 
Inside me theres a key to the ignition 
When its turned There is no chance of intermission 
I’ve been hitting on something much bigger than fiction 
I know Because it comes straight from my deepest intuition 
It can’t wait to escape from everything I’ve written 
Leaping from the words the moment you see em

So tonightt I am defying my sleep cycle 
Gonna try to give life to these dreams that I pull
From the hat on my skull That been getting too full 
With ideas and scenarios playing like a film roll 
On repeat so I need to hit focus and record
Can’t miss a thing double checking every cord
I know that the final piece is my only reward 
I blow through minutes and hours with every step taken towards
My gold

4am (*thommo* and EllE)

Just a Miracle

Celestial Waters

This is a track I discovered on a mini disc and released as a CD album ("Shout") in 2004. Lots of shredding in this. It was another exercise in hammer-ons and two handed reverse quadruplets.Just an exercise really, hence the title. But given other tracks like this have been appreciated,I thought I'd put it up for those who enjoy guitar stuff :)

It'll Do

Last month my friend Jeff/Stonerjazz sent me a preview of this song he was about to release (https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679/01-i-still), and he was so kind to ask me if I wanted to add anything to it. We had been planning a collaboration for months, so I happily started to work on it, recording a few instrumental tracks. I got inspired from Jeff's amazing lyrics and vocal harmonies, and we're both happy about the way this tune turned out to sound.
A wonderful collaboration that we'd like to dedicate to all of you SoundCloud maestros, wishing everyone a happy new year. Peace, love and happiness...

LYRICS:

captured in the eddy of the river bright, the still life painted with the colors of the soul, the dead-eyed and the damaged wander through the landscape of the misty light without compassion for our plight.
even in the darkest night there’s drops of paint, notes from my guitar, and tiny light that usher in such lush delights, though worthless in the merchants eye, the maestro has the wings to fly…
it’s a big mess, got a hole in my chest, taken down and crushed like apples in a press, i confess to everything i’ve ever done. every single one of us… on the run.
when minds are quiet, the stink of revolution floats in the air, and the overlords they waste away in deep despair… slippin in the deep end not so quietly. fantastic sights!!
tin can rattle in the back, living in a tiny shack, standing in the middle of a two lane blacktop gazing at a cloud i saw some thirty years ago.

THE SONG WITH NO NAME
Written, Performed, Produced & Mastered
by Andrew Borderick Coptright AB Music 2021
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9wTEzWb6-E

WHEN WILL THE DAYLIGHT COME
THERE'S NO MORE SKY LIVING INSIDE
WHEN WILL THE LIGHT COME ON
WHEN YOU GET HOME   A FLASH OF LIGHT

BUT LIFE WILL PASS US BYE
AND NEVER SAY GOODNIGHT
NO KEY TO THE OTHERSIDE

WHICH WAY DOES THE RIVER FLOW
IT'S LOOKING REAL DRY EXCEPT WHEN I CRY
THE MOON AND THE SUN WILL RISE
AND EVERYDAY   THEY CALL YOUR NAME

A LIFE OF RIGHT AND WRONG
A NEVER ENDING SONG
NO KEY TO THE OTHERSIDE
(Break)
THE TICKING OF TIME GOES BYE
THE MEMORY LANE IS FADING AWAY
THE WAVES ARE ALL CRASHING DOWN
AND EVERYDAY HAS NO NAME

SO LIFE WILL PASS YOU BYE
THE PUNISHMENT FITS THE CRIME
NO KEY TO THE OTHERSIDE

THE SONG WITH NO NAME

THE SONG WITH NO NAME (see info for video link)

i stepped into the warm night summer air
i saw her then and there
she had a jasmine blossom in her hair
and she was floating in the air

she whispered something in my ear
nothing is real nothing is true
there's absolutely nothing you can do
Enjoy the ride, it's over sooner than you think..

i saw my death off to my left and it looked like a spider.
i'd seen it before but then it looked like a door
and before that it looked like a raven.
and then sometimes it just looks like a shadow.

the raven was white and in flight at my left headed west.
the country was lush and rough
lava, pine trees, and springwater.

a magical place.
