I wrote this track last year at the height of the global uprising.. Since then, a lot has transpired, and at the same time, not a lot has changed. It's a common occurrence these days where layers of truth are revealed, which leave us with realizations of a horrific past. 

The latest layer had me reflecting deeply. I'm a first generation immigrant, born from a family who left their country that previously experienced genocide, to come to Canada (the promised land)... Only to realize that my being here in part contributed to the genocide of others.. Shit hits deep.

We can't fix the past but we can fix our selves and also make time to help those that need a hand. 

A simple Truth from Yung Pueblo:

We often hand our tensions over to others without understanding that it wasn't ours to begin with - someone passed it to us. And so we pass it to the next person, and they to the next, until it lands on someone with the tools to process it and let it go. The more of us who are open to inner work, the more points there will be in the giant web of humanity where harm will not be able to spread.

Ay, Naranjal - Damia Remix

########### Intercepted Admirals Transmission#########
Commander Fullyard was cruising through the Peep Durple system when the voice of Admiral Krank came in over the radio. It had to be done. One Colonel Hardy had turned renegade, establishing his own fiefdom among the Simmippians. According to the highly classified intelligence wire, Hardy had committed the highest crimes against groove, outlawing shuffle beats of all kinds and limiting musical expression to tonedeaf folk music. 

And now the swampy assignment: Operation Mango Wood. Hardy must be brought to justice or eliminated immediately. Was there any way out of it? Were there not several other officers capable of carrying it out? Didn’t Krank owe him a favor or two? Did the Commander need to remind the Admiral of how he came to his rescue in Operation Bass Guitar Part Rearrangement? Nothing doing. These orders came directly from Her Majesty Herself. She wanted- nay, demanded- that Commander Fullyard do the job. 


##########################
I thank the Admiral for this opportunity! I, Cmd. Fullyard, fully obeying his will from now on, accepted the new supreme command in regards to any further additional space missions satisfying the highly royal needs of her Majesty! May she survive us all and may her burial chamber-like sten... ermmm sme... errrrmmmmm ..... FRAGRANCE never dissipate!

(Operation) Mango Wood

Its hot and wet in the jungle, tonight
Laser axe hummin', red glowing, ready to bite

Mango Woood, Mango Wooood, Mango Woooooooooooood

A royal spacesuit soaked and boiling
Swampy assignment, highly annoying

Mango Woood, Mango Wooood, Mango Woooooooooooood


##################

This one was a real journey and along with the other collab i did with the mighty @texmex-shaman. The Admiral (@user-766619428) sent me the base and groovy drum pattern long long ago, early 2021, and it took quite some time to find the initial spark to go mad, but then it was a real blast. Kinda started sampling the whole thing and deformed it into something i never thought it would sound like. Recorded some stuff in the flat  (little child drum, etc.) and refined some axe-chops from our woodwork session early in 2021 along with some VOX and other little space pixie dust, b3 vst and synths. Later on he added the amazing guitars and additional fx - me finally trying to squeeze everything into the mix. Thank you so much for doing this with me. I hope this will be not the last one!

I also want to give credit to my parents in law and my love, which were so supportive in finding the right place for the shoot and helping me with my artistic vision to come true. This was quite a wild ride and it couldn't have been done all by myself! (That little forest fishpond was cold af... haha)

Thanks for the community for all that support and wonderful comments and reposts, likes and such. We are a real great "family" and i am glad to have you all!

Cheers,
CMD. SF

Mass Psychosis

The pain, loathed by most, loved by some. In reality, it's there, it's a part of everything.

He forgot about it, too many years of numb existence can make you focus on some totally different things.

He is enjoying now that it came back though, don't get me wrong. A pleasureable burn crawls up his body, which makes him remember what it was to be alive.
His nerves, if you can call them nerves, tickle inside him, in a harmony that reminds him of a specific day in the past. A day in which pleasure and pain where merged inside him, just like now. Because of this, he also remembers her, the perpetrator, which multiplies the pain, and therefore, the pleasure.

Nice.

The Devil Wants Roses is that wave in which I mirrored myself for a long time, soft to the eye 🌊turbulent in action.💥

The temptation that attracts you knowing that it’s harmful.
💜And love doesn’t always answer keeping you tied to something not knowing exactly the reasons why. 

A night feeling, a song for true lovers !

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.
