Hey Jeff man, love your guitaring in here, and how it features so prominently. Wonderful poem, as always, too. Jo really delivers some awesome ear candy, as well as some gripping sonic beds for you to lie in. Awesome work here, both of you!

Wow, really interesting melange of sounds, and expertly layered.

Most interesting in a way that has me searching for genre discription... maybe tribal-prog?

the arching acrobats, and next of kin, to passage dwellers of the interim... that line is gold.  plus the way you hold onto your "ought"s.  audio bliss.

Too Risky

It's too hot this summer! Thanks for listening!!

I had the absolute pleasure of collaborating again with the greatly talented David De Michele who has created an incredibly enchanting cinematic soundscape for my piano composition "Up". 

Please listen to more of David’s beautiful music here: @user-92820487

Sincere thanks for your attention to this work. We do hope it brings you some joy and comfort!

(JAP)
Fuhai shi, dōtoku o ushinatta
Daremo ga wasure sarete, misuterareru
Muchi wa, mitakunai mono ni totte wa fukuin


Kisoku to kihan
Jiyū wa yume de wa nai
Chinmoku wa, watashitachi no kokoro ni hibiku koto no nai zeitaku


Genjitsu wa yugame rare
Shinjitsu wa itsumo sōsa sa reru
Muchi wa susume rare
Seigi wa uri kau sa reru


Sono kamen no haigo ni wa nani ga kakusarete iru no ka?
Jiyū to sentaku nado, hajimari kara nakatta



(ESP)
Corrupto e inmoral 
Todos son olvidados
La ignorancia es una bendición para los que no quieren ver


Reglas y normas 
La libertad no es un sueño 
El silencio es un lujo que nunca sonará en nuestras mentes 


La realidad es distorsionada
La verdad siempre manipulada
La ignorancia es promovida
Y la justicia es vendida


Qué se esconde detrás de esa máscara?
Libertad y elección, nunca hubo libre albedrío
Somos peones en un juego arreglado por un ser superior 





I stumbled across an uninhabited white mansion when I was out for a run in the countryside. I got chatting to the security guard looking after it, who let me look round the grounds. He told me a ballet dancer once lived there. I made up a song about the ballet dancer. 
I ended up pouring a lot of my anxieties into the story of poor dancer- they have ended up being a horrendous mix of my personal and political fears. 
I think this song is kind of fantastically ridiculous- an OTT 10 minute epic, with a whole horror-theme 2 minute instrumental at the end. I love it.

Castle of light

in an accent long unspoken
in an ancient dialect
curses, blessings, symbols, token
the janitor, the architect
born to care and to dissect
and dream the dream of the unwoken

like a bird within a flight of thought
falling upwards, held within
an endless tunnel copper-wrought
bats, the arching acrobats and next of kin
to passage-dwellers of the interim
who cuddle up head-down and midnight-fraught

about to take flight to the light
like a silent spell and serpent word
burning brightly in the night
like a river’s moon shedding a midnight beam
sheathing the last, unseeing and unseen
sheathing the last remaining sword

This song is more relevant than ever, even though it was released in 1983.

a little snippet from the other night. Somewhat contrasting the extreme noise of our last SC post : ) Still making use of this wonderful space and Grand Piano, no doubt we will get asked to leave at some stage, but until then happy days : )
