On the surface, the kind of sound you might hear everyday but in this context, it takes on hypnotic tones and rhythms...

That puts me there, all right. In my mid, it is an overcast day.

This is cool! What recording device did you use?

hardcore street indeed, real life offers its concrete music

a good track will remind me of a time in my life, a great track will mentally transport me to that place, your track did both plus allowed me to see, hear and smell the environment.  Badass man.

V1
THIS IS YOUR LIFE, IT'S IN YOUR HAND
DON'T JUMP THE START, IT ALL ENDS FAST
V2
TO LOOK YOUR AGE, IS OUT OF STYLE
TO GO BACK IN TIME, THERE MUST BE DENIAL
(Ref)
WE'RE LIVING IN ENDLESS TIME
(Chorus)
YOU'VE NEVER HAD A LONLY DAY
WITH THAT FACE, IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME
YOU CAN CALL IT ALL YOU LIKE
BUT NOBODY LIVES, UNTILL THE END OF TIME
V3
YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE, BUT NOT YOUR HANDS
THE END OF THE WORLD HAS ALREADY PAST
(Ref)
WE'RE LIVING IN ENDLESS TIME
(Chorus)
YOU'VE NEVER HAD A LONLY DAY
WITH THAT FACE, IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME
YOU CAN CALL IT ALL YOU LIKE
BUT NOBODY LIVES, UNTILL THE END OF TIME
(Break)

Pop single with disco elements by Lisa Rogers 

Run To You

Legion

I revisited an production that I published 4 years ago as a total beginner. So much was changed, I decided to present it as new. The subject matter is even more so an issue

Watching Us

Sundown

In the late 1800s, the word rhapsody was translated into Japanese as "mad music." In Buddhism, "mad" means "funny" or "fantasy." It's thanks to the hard work of translators that Japanese people can understand the meaning of that famous song, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Rhapsody in Osaka（323）

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar foundational rhythm guitar
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, envelope synth, and vocals
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass and vocals
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–Fender Nashville Telecaster electric guitar, sitar, mix, master, and production

This song began its life in Poland, where our resident surf rock specialist, Artur, composed it on his giutar. He is a brilliant composer and expert player, so we're always glad to receive music from him. 
  Artur gave it to JJ to start the project, so JJ was first to the trough here, adding his breathy, moving organ throughout, as well as some slick envelope synth. Ken came along shorly after to give the song its heartbeat, adding his triumphant drums. As soon as he had a beat to play to, Josh added his four string fretless bass to the mix, completing the rhythm section. 
  Now it was the other guitarists turn to take a whack at it. Tez was first up, adding the magical the first and third solos, in the verse sections. He also lit up the intro and outro sections with some dynamic guitar solos, as well. Stephen went last, filling in the second and fourth solo sections in the choruses, as well as a textural guitar that you hear throught most of the song. He also added the exotic sitar you hear in about the middle. After all the music was laid down, Artur had the idea to add the vocal chorus towards the end, which Josh and JJ sung in four part harmony.
 Once we had it in the bag, we asked Stephen to produce it for us, which he did in his always trained, professional manner. 
  This is the eighth song we've done with Artur over the past about year and a half. We adore his music and him as a person, too. If you dig this song, you should hop over to his page and have a listen in case you're not already familiar. He loves surf music, and wanted to note the passing of surf rock legend, Brian Wilson this week. Wilson was more than just Pet Sounds, although that album is top class. He was a surf rock pioneer, who influenced a whole genre of music; a genre that's near and dear to Artur's heart. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by Surfers Like Us:
We all live between Sun and Moon
Love and Peace
That's all what we do

Between Sun and Moon (Eclectic Collective with Surfers Like Us)

Well hello… A new song, with a new instrument. A pawnshop Ukulele. Ha. What a fun instrument to play. Just had to. A few simple Uke chords, some acoustic guitar soloing, and a tale of sailing the ocean as a metaphor for life. And yes, lyrically I was talking with a seagull. And just so you know I have gotten really good at ‘talking’ with birds. I can click talk like a grackle, whisper whistle like a robin, whistle talk a curious melody like a chickadee, among others. Still working on my duck call. Ha… Years ago, I remember annoying some people at a party with this wooden duck call my buddy had. So maybe a future song about birds? And right outside my door there are some interesting avian dynamics between the grackles and robins nesting in the spruce trees. They argue every day, about territory and invasion of their personal space, but when danger appears, like a hawk or cat, they come together in unison to fend off the threat. In the natural biology of things, humans haven’t fallen too far from that spruce tree. Anyway, robins do not like the dark. They anxiously chatter with loud worry chirping amongst themselves at dusk, and create a chorus melody of happy song at dawn. With me being a late sleeper, their morning serenades can be quite bothersome at 4:30AM. A lesson for me though, as at times I am not so welcoming as I wakeup to another frenetic global morning. Anyway, birds and their enthusiastic singing far outpaces my own. Ha. There are many other birds here, but I will save that for another time. Hope you are well. Thanks for dropping by, Mark

Temples

A dark psychedelic rock track fused with industrial beats and hypnotic mantra-like vocals. Heavy, relentless, and immersive. Thank you for the listening.

Psy Rock Invocation

Sounds of air valves from a train, next to the white building, where we used to practice, with Bryan and Francis.

Recorded with a Zoom H4n, 44,1k Hz stereo.  The file is 16 bit wav format.  Nothing was done to the sound, except the short fade in and fade out.  It's raw audio.  If some level of compression was applied at all, it was the microphones themselves that did it.

Have fun with this.

Sputtering Air Valves (2013-07-17)

For all the tracks in this playlist, I was positioned about 15 meters from the port installations, next to my current--well, not really cause now I'm out of work, cause I don't know if you've heard but...--place of employment. That is part of why I can do all this in Soundcloud, cause I have some free time.  If I worked full time, I could only do about one fifth of what I do now in the same amount of time, the playlists essentially.

I have tried to keep the "peaks" out of those recordings, but a small number of short ones have slipped through my net.  I hope you will forgive my weakness, or lack of rigour (rigor).  Please feel free, and I encourage you to do so, to inform me if there are any malfunctions with these tracks, or incorrect information associated with them, like the "metadata" that is introduced when I ... forget it.  I'm sick of that stuff.

I hope these can be useful for people who want to make music with them.  Some where I hit something repeatedly, will probably have to be chopped into individual samples, to be used as more or less traditional samples for samplers.

May the good Gods and Godesses bless you.  ... You go ahead and decide which ones those are ; ).  Bisous

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
