Moonray Girl

She's a moonray girl
Like a diamond in a swirl
She makes my eyes kind a blur
She's a moonray tale
'Cause her beauty never fails
Her inner garden's not for sale
Some tried and tried to no avail
She was a moonray girl
Like a diamond in a swirl
She's one of the kind
Whatever you wanted
Slipped out of your mind
She's a moonray girl
Like a lightening in the night
The girl has gone up to the moon
And now I'm crazy as a loon
She was a moonray girl
Like a diamond in a swirl
She was a moonray girl (girl)
I'll never stop counting the hours
She was a moonray girl
Like a diamond in a swirl
She was a moonray girl (girl)
I'll never stop counting the hours

It's my very first composition. I wrote this when I was 16. Over 30 years later, it still feels just as young, while I feel less so.
I was never able to finish this song because of a computer bug. The guitar solo, in particular, was temporary. After losing all the files, I couldn't find the motivation to start over.

Ah Shit

Moonray Girl

Sequel to Act 1. 
The Devil never fulfills his part of the contract.

Lyrics:
(Old timey religion opener)
Hey John!
Well, you need to wake up
You've been drinking top shelf corn liquor
With some prayer and some luck
It's time that you paid up
I'm the slumlord for your soul
I made some promises I could not deliver
Your love letters 
Return to sender
And that thing dangling between your legs
I never made it any bigger

Oh, the Devils mischief will never leave you alone
For those in the know
The Devil likes to sing falsetto
The Devil sings falsetto

That Devil mischief it won't leave you alone (3X)
You need a thousand souls
To pay me what you owe

Those bathing beauties
With painted on faces
They're now eating mayonnaise right from the jar
If you need me, I'll be drinking
Chivas Regal in the car!
I'm the monkey on your back
And if you get into a Devil contract
It's a pact!
That Devil mischief it won't leave you alone
(Fire breathing solo)

That Devil mischief it won't leave you alone (3X)
You need a thousand souls
To pay me what you owe

John Meets The Devil (Act 2)

Time Zones

Sommerset

Track #11 of my third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc

Living in our heads and in our dreams while being shut out from the world. The only input through our phones insubstantial, the mind hazy and disconnected. Night time adventure and freedom. Waking up to the hazy grey of day light, facing reality, a daily challenge.

LYRICS:

Signal's weak
I can barely hear
Others near
I can barely speak

Colours soft
I can barely see
A cloud of silk
Not much space to move

So much hissing
So much static 
Some voices, they talk
Nothing relevant
To me or anyone 
Anyone

Stand
By
It doesn't end, you know
It just hesitates
From time to time
Time to time

Lights are on
It must be getting dark						 
Not so sure
Anyone is even here

It's getting light
But it seems really dull
Brain is jammed
Too drained to activate today

So much static 
So much hissing
Some voices they talk
Nothing relevant
To me or anyone
Leave me alone

Stand
By
It doesn't end, you know
It just hesitates
From time to time
Time to time

Stand
By 
It doesn't end, you know
Just slows its heartbeat down
From time to time
Time to time

Stand
By 
It doesn't end, you know
It slows its heartbeat down
From time to time
Time to time

Wait
Out 
It doesn't end, you know

It just morphs inside
Into something else
You would otherwise
Have never know
Never known

Stand
Wait
Stand
Wait
Stand and wait

Down the Rabbit Hole

Chrysalis

Brillman x Tape Lab back at it again, this time with some small changes, just a few minor edits, nothing big, just a — microTWEAK. Building on an initial and explosive creative clash. Tape Lab & Brillman have delivered another melodic, composed and unexpected 2nd collaboration piece. 

Transferred at the speed of light (115bpm) across the Atlantic Ocean. Initial melodies were recorded via the Yamaha RM1X with space/reverb added from the Korg Kaos DJ Pad. Basslines were recorded on the Moog Sub37. Brillman remixed with additional drums/synths/sounds including the brilliant microFREAK. But, ultimately, the star of the show is Brillman’s expertly composed and eclectic sonic palette and, definitely, skills as a mixer and master-er.

Fearlessly, new sounds echo in and out, ricocheting off of other beats and bloops, a confetti of sounds raining down (text by Tape Lab).

lyrics “brazen” by doc and steff

come on!!!

i feel so empty 
in every single way
i still waste my days
with everything we say

i am so restless
i am your need
i am your fortune
i am your greed

i can taste the days of your life 
when you are so far away
and i can see the end of  these lies
but i dont wanna wait 
till i’m sorry

i can see the shit with my eyes
so please just  go away
and i can feel the end of this life
but i don’t wanna wait too long
till i’m sorry

your so far away
and i can see the end of these days
but i dont wanna wait 
till i’m sorry

i can see the shit with my eyes
so please just go away
and i can feel the end of these lies
but i don’t wanna wait too long
till i’m sorry

i feel so empty 
in every single way
i still waste my days
with everything we say

i am so restless
i am your need
i am your fortune
i am your greed

i can taste the days of my life 
when you’re so far away
and i can see the end of  these lies
but i dont wanna wait 
till i’m sorry

i can see the shit with my eyes
so please just go away
and i can see the end of this life
but i don’t wanna wait too long
till i’m sorry

“brazen”

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.
