Man, if those are wind chimes out on your porch, and the wind sounds like this, then Climate Change is really doing a number on "Down Under"!!! ;-) We're sitting in the "Polar Vortex" up here in Canada... being blown away with high-winds... not so good to record... (just ribbin' you - this sounds great!!!)

This part reminds me of the atmosphere arising from Pink Floyd's Pompeii film... especially the low electronic buzzing fading in and out...

Wonderful piece.  It has a great, dark feel to it!

@quico-reed: I thought it came out well :)

Go I'm really enjoying this so much 💟☺💕

love the sparkly celeste (if that's what it is), darkly enchanting

very satisfying mood piece, great experimentation

The Adventures of Vector Owl - Theme Tune and Intro

Vector Owl is a cheeky magical owl who gets up to various antics in the forest he calls home. Quite often,  he just wants to have a quiet snooze but pesky creatures keep disturbing him. 

Thankfully, with his understanding of the power of vector magic, he can conjure up solutions to these annoyances and get back to having a well earned rest.

Background
 
This project began with a 10 second piece of music and a very simple 2D animation of a little character called Vector Owl. 

The music was expanded into a full theme tune, a brand new redesigned Vector Owl emerged and a change of animation software resulted in what you see here. Whilst familiar with creating music, animation is a completely new world to me and I'm still learning as I go.

All the graphic elements are vector-based, using a combination of Serif Affinity software for graphical development and various open-source packages for animation and video editing, with the original music created in Cubase Pro.

Now this intro is complete I'm hoping to get started on his first adventure.

noxpox - Zramando

Another track inspired by Paul Kingsnorth's novel, "The Wake". 
I don't want to spoil the plot for prospective readers but this track is essentially about how places and times fix in our memories, making us yearn to return - perhaps to relive them in some way - although we know that world has gone.
The electric guitar is a Gibson 335 and the acoustic is a nylon string flamenco guitar fitted with brand new strings (what a difference new strings make!).

This track was played in the Trinitatis Kirke in Copenhagen. At the time there was a wonderful organ recital in progress, so I felt compelled to create this track. It was played on the Moog Model 15 app. Effects from Eventide were added later on.

Themes From Copenhagen II - Trinitatis Kirke

This track is part of Athenian Truckstop Issue #4 Songs for Dreaming release, found here:
https://atheniantruckstop.bandcamp.com/album/issue-4-songs-for-dreaming

The theme was dreams

https://soundcloud.com/douglasmseidel: banjo, bass, beans, drum, cowbell, gong, organ, other stuff, penta guitar, toy piano, water jug 

todd: drumset, crow call, percussion, semi-modular, voices, whistling, words



it started with a plastic 24oz jar 
half filled with foamy yellow liquid 
and some very sticky residue at the top

tom of tom and jerry
fame
had one broken ear
he was sitting on the ledge 
of the garage window

I can’t remember what I was doing

but I know I was wearing a 
poultry keel necklace
that laid so elegantly 
over my clavicles

every thought 
every measure 
gets bigger and faster 
and further from the next

plumb shucks said to thumb plucks 
untuck that loose end of the dumpling lover
and wrap some warm rising dough around your head
dumb luck kept ducking under the fun chunks 
until he realized he was bouncing on a shingle instead
he said that’s some kinda skipping slip of the bliss bud

chimichuck said to raisin brains

wrench mouth woman has a heart in her throat
with the wave of her stick arms she weaves me a coat 
the birds that are flying carry sticks to her breast
crescent wrench moon lucky charms and the rest

sticky residue

Kites

Kites (COVER - Original by Hal Hackady and Lee Pockriss)

Little to say about this song; both lyrics and music (all organic but for programmed drums) were done very impulsively, so it may show my primal inspiration without reworks or additions. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Translated Lyrics:

YO PENSÉ (LA SEXTA VEZ) / I THOUGHT (THE SIXTH TIME)

Yo pensé: esa mujer no es peligrosa…
  (I thought: that woman is not dangerous …)
No esperé enamorarme como un idiota.
  (I did not expect to fall in love like an idiot.)
Me pregunté: ¿qué tiene en los ojos que tanto me tienta?
  (I wondered: what’s in her eyes which tempts me so much?)
y me acerqué para hablar con ella y verlos de cerca.
  (And I got closer to speak with her and watch them closely.)

Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué no extrañaba hacerlo con ella?
  (And if it was the first time, why didn’t I feel strange doing it with her?)
Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué parecía que era la sexta?
  (And if it was the first time, why did it seem to be the sixth one?)
Y si era la sexta vez, ¿por qué hubo preguntas después de la escena?
  (And if it was the sixth time, why were there questions after the scene?)

Y si fue la única vez, ¿por qué no puedo apartarla de mi cabeza?
  (And if it was the unique time, why cannot I take her out of my head?)

Yo pensé (La sexta vez)

nada que temer

Playing around with sounds lead to this very experimental and deeply atmospheric Piece.

It was an experience i can tell you. Not quite like anything I have done before so this is completely new

I think it turned out to be very interesting

Love to hear your thoughts

Sunday Session 16th December 2018

A cover version by Jimmy Rivas and myself of the classic Free song written by Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirk, Tetsu Yamauchi, John Bundrick and Paul Kossoff.  Issued as a single in the UK in December 1972 and included on their final studio album Heartbreaker.

Jimmy contacted me and asked if I would be interested in doing another collaboration.  After hearing the recent Free covers he had done with Hiroshi Kohno (aerogene070) https://soundcloud.com/aerogene, which are outstanding, I suggested we might try this one.

Jimmy Rivas:- Lead and backing vocals https://soundcloud.com/j-rivas
Dairv Dubbleyew:- Guitars, Piano, Bass, Drums, Mix, Production.

the crowd is asking questions
time to feed the brains of fools
we're on the speedway of the global news
we have a serious network
we run the big machines
we keep you quiet with bread and games
it will quench the flame
isn't the weather nice today?

who gets fooled again

in the age of populism
sweeping around the globe
we are dealing with an overdose
of phrases, bubbles, airholes
advertisement and empty shells
we guarantee your comfort zone
trust us you are not alone
so better stay at home

who gets fooled again
