I have been on a long hiatus packing and moving, but today I spent a bit of time venting with some noise.  Thank you all for listening and the support.  I hope you all are well.
Cheers!

DEEP STATE RATS

Happy

Still enjoying the re-read of Asimov's Foundation series. I found the cover art in the retro futuristic section of Pinterest - I'm sure it's AI generated. Love the colours!

All the guitar parts were played on a Fender Telecaster with Texas pickups.

Foundation And Empire

You Just can't be calling me conceited 
When I'm just like you while I'm getting drunk high and weeded
Beat it, your false premonitions are defeated
Were breeded by the unknowing mind and you repeat it
This whole damn lifes been betrayal finding bail
Trying to keep myself from overnight in jail
Dulls pale in comparison with my facts of life
And my constant knack to fail want the details?

Want the Details?
Want the Details?

Ill treated since the first day of being made to pay
Being made to lie and cheat and scheme everyday
So I pray no talking shit my way no saying shit my way
Cause I'll have nothing left to say
Ill snap make a neck crack and a vein pop
Never gonna stop Arch Nemesis of a Cop
The cream of the crop who cannot rise to the top
I need an elevator or maybe a motivator

People Hater of the first, second, and third kind
Walking blind, lagging losing steps, falling behind
Rewind, peace of mind no such kind
Letter saying I'm gone was already sealed and signed
Left behind was my will to force and grind
Against a force that's way off course and really not my kind
So ill have no peace and I wont beg please
And I wont drop down in disparity begging on my knees
I remain bold Rather freeze in the cold
Force myself to age prematurely so I die when I'm old
And just fold so I'll die quicker
Life's a habit I had to kick her i downed the liquor
Or is this booze I'm feelin sicker its coming quicker
I see a shining light I see a shining flicker
Dead off the guilt of thinking that's its my fault
This ain't fucking booze it's a bottle of Lysol!

Follow me down follow me way down
Follow me down follow me way down
Follow me down follow me way down
Down into the fucking rabbit hole asshole

Cast of Characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, vocals on the verses

This is a song that originated with Ken several months ago. He wrote the whole thing on piano, guitar, and drums and presented it to the rest of the band. Of course, everyone was very excited to add their spin to it. 

Josh added his bass part first, as the foundation. Ken also left his catchy original guitar intro as it was. Then JJ added his dynamic piano part, which ended up being both foundational and stylistic, along with the sax that you hear in there, too. Stephen added his solid foundational guitar to it, too, soon after. Then it sat, stalled out for need of some vocals. Of course, we asked TMD to add some, which he did in grand fashion for the choruses. All that was left were the verses. Ken wrote lyrics, and gave Josh an idea for the melody, so he sang the verses to wrap it up. Of course, we asked Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did so well, as always.

  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

poem / copyright jo richter:

wir vermissen
die tiefen sprachen
der wale und elefanten

wir vermissen
das synchrone schlagen
hunderter vogelschwingen

ihr seid
nicht-da da
nur im phantomschmerz wahr

interlinear translation: phantoms // we miss / the deep language / of whales and elephants // we miss / the synchronous flapping / of hundreds of wings // you are not-present present / real only as a phantom pain //

I love geeky niche things.  I highly encourage conversations to exchange musical ideas, recording techniques, and describe the artistic process.  If you feel so inclined, I warmly extend an invitation to directly message me with your work.  I absolutely love your stories and commend your contributions and creativity.  Music is a universal conduit for our thoughts and expression, all we can do is feel it, respond to it, and push it forward.  
p.s. 
Synthesizers are pretty cool
