Music to listen to, and to dance to sometimes. Sounds a bit more familiar than the other series, especially for old people ; )

These excellent tracks were uploaded to Soundcloud servers between 12/2020 and 05/2021, almost half in the last 30 days, except these older ones:
. . - Pro.Tone (Goodhive Keiobi & . - Ritsikad Kolmeristil)(#17): 2 years,
. . - Miaow McDonald "Ambulance"(#19): 11 months,
. . - Oneundrum "Ego"(#11): 6 months,
. . - hdathome "柳花苑調の夢"(#20): 6 months,
. . - newshole "circumambulatory break"(#4): 5 months.

Another marvelous collection of tracks!

Bisous.

It Is

As was their wont after a long summer's day of play, several of the neighborhood children would take the shortcut through Barber Woods, passing the old mansion, and wave to the smiling lady, dressed-in-white at the top window, who always seemed to be there watching as they passed.

34th Song(Clean - Tone)

SO.... I'm Digging Deep And Deeper

"They Call Him Sunlight, They Call Him the Eagle"

Säure Adler was founded back in 2012 in the psychedelic city of Poznań, Poland, by A.J. Kaufmann (voice, acoustic guitar, songwriter) and Kacper Wojaczek (keyboards). The duet played psychedelic folk with poetic lyrics, releasing material independently on bandcamp, performing gigs wherever possible. In 2015 Kacper Wojaczek left, being replaced by Radu Rusanu (keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar). The band switched directions into a more full-on krautrock / psychedelic rock sound continuing releasing new materials on bandcamp. In 2016 Radu Rusanu was replaced by Luna Lenina (bass guitar, drum machines), and the band re-located to London. The new line-up recorded the "Street Dada Brutalismus" album, which is still available on the band's bandcamp site. In 2018 Säure Adler joined the German netlabel Aumega Project, Germany's leading label for krautrock and psychedelic music and atmospheres, releasing among others the "Pilzmusik" album in early 2019. Also in 2019 A.J. tried to get the band back to their roots with various sessions in limited line-ups (duets), and the sessions brought the "acid eagle" back to their hometown of Poznań with new, highly psychoactive sounds. The band is still active, releasing material on bandcamp, and now, thanks to Ramble Records, their debut album titled simply "Säure Adler" appears on vinyl. The eagle logo design is by long-time friend of the band, Mr. Justin Jackley. Currently Mr. Kaufmann and Mrs. Wunderlicht are in the process of organizing new sessions and gigs for their original Kosmische Punkmusik sound visions.

Secret Play

Late Session ACM

Written as a songwriting assignment

Sandy, Sandy, dancing like a gandy
Up and down the beach passing out candy
Posing for the girls like a noonday dandy

What’s in a name

Rocky has a brain like a house of stone
He sits inside on his marble throne
Never noticing he’s all alone

What’s in a name

Dusty is a demon dressed in spiderweb grey
Blazing like a comet, she makes you want to pray
But she flickers out at the break of day

What’s in a name

Sandy, Rocky, Dusty, Dirty Names

In one part of the tune it gets more and more discordant each time. This is on  purpose, or so I like to think.

Queen Of Cups

Background: A lovely day on a perfect place

LYRICS:

how did we get here?
t-t tell me 'cos i don't know
what went wrong.
your door is open
another closes in my face.
i'm gonna kick kick kick it down.

pills and letters
your mind is scattered on the floor.
i'm shocked to the core.

blue light flashing
my heart's racing
your getaway car's too slow
i can't let you go

(no, no no no no)

it's taking too long
it's taking too long

22 minutes
is a fu-fu very long time,
when you're losing your mind.

blue light flashing
my heart's racing
your getaway car's too slow
i can't let you go
i won't let you go
i can't let you go

Between dream and dawn…

The title means "Dream in the tuning of ryûkaen", and ryûkaen is a so-called new Gagaku piece – new meaning it was composed about one thousand years ago – with four dancing girls, but the dance has become forgotten since.

柳花苑調の夢

When you're stuck, it's time for a little walk around, or a quick tune on the accordion, or both.  Happy Friday !  

Or maybe take a little band with you along for a stroll as well.  see: https://soundcloud.com/jorma-heikkil/newshoe-with-jore-collaboration-circumambulatory-break

Note: I thought "circumambulate" was just a cool way to say you went for a walk.  Apparently it is a devotional thing in places around the world or, maybe after all, the same thing as the much less cool "going for a walk".

circumambulatory break

the endless fall into a dystopian world full of little informers / prosecutors who have crucified black humor, intelligence, wickedness and irony in the name of a politically correct universe we talk and think with 200 words because anyway by dint of lobotomizing with a smartphone we do not even know what is a book, a work of art and even less a brain in working order

The Endless Fall In A Dystopian World Full Of Little Informers : Prosecutors

Music,
centered on dance but I made the circle very,
very wide, from everywhere, for everyone.
Enjoy.

My linux won't boot so I'm presently forced to use Windows, and because of the bug in Soundcloud's system my account is all messed up when I don't use a VPN to connect which I am unable to do now... trying to get help from my VPN provider.  Because of this, and because I started working very long days I will be less present here.  Sorry, I'm trying.

Hi,
"Tracks: 0" is wrong, it should read 40.
Ever since the closing of this account by error by SC two or three months ago, this problem has remained unfixed.  Soundcloud and their AI are apparently still working on solving this and other problems with this account, and with my other account ; )

2024/01/29:
What I wrote below was heart felt but presumptuous and pretentious.  I would have to not be stupid myself to be allowed to claim such a thing.  More importantly though, I don't believe it is correct or accurate.  These people are probably not stupid but just don't care.  Justice is a collective thing and many if not most people seem to live in bubbles.  It is perhaps economic oppression which is responsible, they just don't have the resources, the time, the energy to be concerned about what lies behond that bubble.  It used to be fine but there's this thing they call globalization which makes this increasingly impractical or impossible.

mid January 2024:
Justice and vengeance are not the same.  Apparently most people are too stupid to see the difference.  Unfortunately it is not something unique to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and not unique to group conflicts.

What happened to intelligence?  Aren't we supposed to be the "intelligent" specie.

I love you.

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.

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.
