Nice song, sad conclusion. A far away Floydisch atmosphere, nicely done!

Very ‘Floydian’.  I’m always a ‘music before lyrics’ listener.  There’s some lovely tension here.  I very much enjoyed the moment where the lead guitar enters, and the rhythm section picks up. Nice work, Jim.

I love that early Floyd-era sound! Nice work, Jim and Martin!

This is Open Collab #3

Vocal is just bolted to the end clean to make it sample and mix arrangement friendly to allow for better expression and variety.

The idea here I think is important. It's to feed the reality that most people accept media presented to them and never consider how it's programming their subconscious and moulding the actual person they become. We need to take that power back NOW

Lyrics

Shortened by time
Spans of attention
It's advert with rhyme
Highjacking ascension
They bolt it to positive
You are mastercard
They feel for and feed you
For them you try hard
It's squeezed mind control
Shortening your songs
Reflections of connections
Or a lack there of
Existence is short
But reeled ceretonin
You miss out on the long
And real life enjoyment

Full Attention ~ Open Collab #3

Echoes of the Drowned

■概要(overview)
自分の中の夏をイメージしました。
It was inspired by the summer inside me.

■歌詞
過ごした夏の数
まどろみの岸辺で
さざ波の記憶を
たどっているような気分
それは潮の綾

太陽を吸い込んだ
波の揺らめきが
瞼の裏で
揺れているずっと
寄せて返す幻

誰かが名前を呼んでいて
僕は浮かんでいるだけなのさ
時間が海に溶けはじめたころに
夏の風が冷たく感じて岸に向かった


モノクロームの夏
音の無い岸辺で
光の名残に
触れていたいような気分
夜が近い

波間に溶けていった
夏の幻が
瞼の裏で
僕を呼んでいる
その音で目を覚ます

誰かが波間に石を投げて  
小さな輪が広がっていった  
光と影をまといながら  
ちゃぷ　という音が胸に残った

いつまでもここにいたいな
浮かんでいたいよな
名前も忘れてしまったような
誰かに会いたいような

■Lyrics(google translate)
The number of summers I've spent
On the shore of my slumber
I feel like I'm tracing the memories of the ripples
It's the tides
The swaying of the waves that absorbed the sun
Swaying behind my eyelids
An illusion that keeps on ebbing and flowing
Someone is calling my name
I'm just floating
When time started to melt into the sea
The summer wind felt cold so I headed for the shore
Monochrome summer
On the silent shore
I feel like I want to touch the vestiges of light
Night is approaching
The illusion of summer that melted into the waves
I'm calling to me behind my eyelids
That sound wakes me up
Someone threw a stone into the waves
A small circle spread
Clad in light and shadow
The sound of splashing remained in my heart
I want to stay here forever
I want to float
I feel like I've forgotten my name
I want to meet someone

Then She Reaches for the Gun was formed in 2021 by Mat Ward. At its essence is sound collage, Ward invites musicians, sound artists, poets and anyone interested to send him files to be used, abused and showcased ‘as suggested by the work’. They are not always musical but field recordings, spoken word, engine noises and drunken rants. Animals participate a lot too! The raw material is arranged with one phrase asking for the next in an alchemical and intuitive process that will most often feature dozens of tracks weaving in and out of each other, colliding, harmonising, arguing and laughing along the way.

Both the aesthetic and the compositional methods use what Frank Zappa called Xenochrony - the mixing together of separately recorded and rhythmically opposing musical phrases to create polyrhythmic and polytempi compositions.The work also features fragmented story telling with the human voice (in many languages) appearing unannounced throughout the tracks offering up snippets of thoughts, conversations, jokes and existential angst. The absurdity of humanities desperate claim to have any real understanding of its place in the universe is revealed through the recorded follies and genuine emotions of the artists. The project is a celebration of chance, diversity and community. It pays homage to all musical tastes and genres whilst maintaining a sense of humour and irreverence that is needed to stay sane in the climate of  21st Century contemporary culture.

Wake Me Up
by Valhjim

In a world drifting further from what it once was, “Wake Me Up” walks the line between dream, disillusion, and madness. Ambient textures, saxophone laments, and whispered memories give way to raw imagery and quiet rage. This song is a journey through the fragments of a fading world, not a perfect one, but a world where freedom and individual rights were extant—a world that now more than ever aches to come back.

**************

Wake Me Up
Valhjim

On a solitary street a lamppost
casts its yellow light
there's no one there just 
shadows drifting by

and as you walk along
the cobbles down below
you hear somebody's voice
calling in the night

you try to wake up from the dream
but the world has turned to dust
and no one understands
how things could be so wrong

Ah, wake me up,
bring me back the world
I used to know

She keeps the door ajar
to feel connected to the world
outside but down the hall

there is no light and the moon 
has gone away

walkers on the street outside
a crazy clown is sitting in the chair

and all his acolytes
are pissing on the floor

Ah, wake me up,
bring me back the world
I used to know

Valhjim is a music composer with an eclectic approach to different genres: rock, pop, folk, New Age, and experimental electronic music. Greatly driven by imagination and poetic imagery, he combines multiple instrumental textures to fire the imagination of his listeners. 

His more experimental ambience and electronic music is built with layers of suggestive sound textures, rhythms, and melodic lines that stir the imagination into suggestive imagery and worlds unseen, true architectures of sound that open up limitless spaces to explore. Often Valhjim's melodies sail through genre thresholds, crossing over from one genre to another, from neo classcal to electronic, or from jazz to rock or new age.
