FORTRAN (GOD is REAL unless declared INTEGER)

Last Night

Originally released as my first single on 14th November 2023, Collagen Peptides is the introduction to the album. I was originally inspired by the band Duster when I decided to start making my own music, my plan was to make more low fidelity, chill songs with none or subtle vocals as singing and writing lyrics was always the hardest part of making songs for me.

The name of the song just comes from the supplement Collagen and how one of the main reason people who decide to take it is because they are not happy with the way they look. Better skin, hair, antiaging, build muscle ect.

This is the only song on the album that had live drums recorded by myself. My drum kit was set up in my garage and was recorded with two overhead microphones and a bass drum mic. However only having a two input audio interface at the time i had to either record the bass drum seperatly or add them in later manually. This was always a pain and so I found ways to avoid doing this on later songs.

My Les Paul was used for the rhythm guitars with the shimmer setting on my reverb pedal as well as the OCD later in the song to give the shimmer a bigger sound towards the end. My stratocaster was used for the lead and features my favourite solo i've ever wrote which goes across the whole song.

The bass guitar in the original recording was slightly out of tune and had to be rerecorded for the album. Which wasn't fun.

Although instrumental if you listen closely at 1:18 and 1:27 you can here two vocal tracks where I hum the lead guitar line 'da da du du'.

SONG NOTES:
This song reflects my growing awareness of the incomprehensible nature of a star in the sky, which has captivated the imagination of humanity since the dawn of time. All that amazing energy, captured in a little word of just three letters, the sun. 
LYRICS:
Such a little word “the sun”
With all its mystery 
Yet, without the sun my friend
Where oh where would we be?

With colours that glisten and dance all around
As far as the eye can see 
Without the sun tell me my friend
Where oh where would we be 

For who can say how it does what it does 
Painting the sky so blue
As pretty a picture as I’ve ever seen
Oh the things the sun can do

The years come and go like the ocean tide
But is time ever what it seems?
Without the sun, tell me my friend
Where oh where would we be?

Chorus

A Little Word

Relax!

HEAD OVER MIND (2022)

The vibe strives to capture a glimpse of the dream house genre of the mid-1990s.

Coffee ☕ 

I'm awake dear world...
Where's the dose?
I'm twitching
In need of that warm dark roast
I've been watching this kettle forever boil
Breathe dear boy
Oh grounds
Calm turmoil
We're there
Now pour
Oh mighty morning fix
Check favourite mug
1 sugar now mix
Hmmm
We have our fag
We have our brew
Now into the garden you addict you...

Relief, I'm real, I'm alive, I'm numb
Course through my veins
Cure caffeine come
Tame my bark
Aww save my kids
Brew brave my stark
Snaps get their lid
First of too many
Through this day
From sip to sip
Awww keep hitting that grey
The cure of coffee
The seed of sane
Flicking mind bean
Timed happy pain

Caffeine to brain
Coffee my sane
Caffeine to brain
Coffee my sane

HAUPTBAHNHOF

A track from my album 'Goal! Mundial 1958-1994', a concept album about the World Cup. The album contains eight tracks, each representing a key match from almost forty years of World Cup history. This particular track concerns the 1994 match between Romania and Columbia, and 'The Ace' of the title refers to the star of that match, Gheorghe Hagi.

The album tracks range from progressive rock, jazz, and classically inspired themes, to Italo Disco, electronica, and production techniques inspired by the big pop records of the 1980s. Check the album out here:

The Ace

bip...
bop...

Scientists said it shouldn’t happen.
Robots said it mustn’t happen.
Yet here we are.

The lights flicker.
Reality hiccups.
Something bips.

The bip spreads.
The bop replies.
The bap takes notes.

Gravity stops returning your calls.
Your thoughts reorganize themselves.
Everything resets to factory settings.

bip...

bop...

Please Keep Your Hands, Feet & Noodles Inside The Anomaly At All Times.

Bob Dylan cover song off the "Slow Train Coming" album.

Lyrics:

They ask me how I feel
And if my love is real
And how I know I'll make it through
And they, they look at me and frown,
They'd like to drive me from this town,
They don't want me around
'Cause I believe in you
They show me to the door,
They say don't come back no more
'Cause I don't be like they'd like me to,
And I walk out on my own
A thousand miles from home
But I don't feel alone
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you even through the tears and the laughter,
I believe in you even though we be apart
I believe in you even on the morning after
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
Oh, when the night is disappearing
Oh, this feeling is still here in my heart
Don't let me drift too far,
Keep me where you are
Where I will always be renewed
And that which you've given me today
Is worth more than I could pay
And no matter what they say
I believe in you
I believe in you when winter turn to summer,
I believe in you when white turn to black,
I believe in you even though I be outnumbered
Oh, though the earth may shake me
Oh, though my friends forsake me
Oh, even that couldn't make me go back
Don't let me change my heart,
Keep me set apart
From all the plans they do pursue
And I, I don't mind the pain
Don't mind the driving rain
I know I will sustain
'Cause I believe in you

When i'm not playing video games....
...i listen to and create Music.
I get into everything: Abba to Zappa...Grindcore to Gershwin...Nine Inch Nails to Nina Simone...Mike Oldfield to My Bloody Valentine to Miles Davis
  I LIKE MUSIC....composing and listening   😎
For the record: I am a keyboardist and sometimes drummer. About 90% of  the keyboard work is me actually playing a Yamaha Midi keyboard. Now you know...

VANCRYNES is the musical alter-ego of Angelo Saridis, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer from South Gippsland, Australia. His music spans the genre spectrum with roots in early punk and post punk and a solid grounding in 90s alternative rock, his music fuses these influences with a deliberate intention.  Imagine Paul Dempsey and Tim Rogers had a love child with Black Francis and Kim Gordon as the godparents and Johny Marr as the favourite uncle...somewhere in that mix you will find VANCRYNES

Exploring themes that are predominantly a shared introspective reflection, there is a happy sad dynamic and a nostalgic sensibility to all the songs.  'I'm trying to share what's anxiety provoking for adults...and show that none of us really have our shit together...but at times there's something beautiful about admitting our failings and insecurities'.

VANCRYNES is guitar driven, sweat soaked and authentic which at times will make the listener chuckle and other times give you a reason to reflect.  It's still very much punk rock at heart but delivered with an equal portion of sensitivity and recklessness.

VANCRYNES is committed to capturing the immediacy of the songwriting process and moves quickly to capture songs as the moments of creation are fleeting 'I just want to get a general sense of the song recorded and move on to the next one.  If the songwriting is strong enough, then I hope it will carry through the more casual production approach.  My production is very loose and I will never even contemplate something like autotune'.  

Keeping it fresh and committed to the creative practice of songwriting, VANCRYNES sticks to a blistering regime of writing, producing and releasing with more than 100 songs completed in 2022 and that frenetic pace continues into 2023 and now 2024.  'To quote the famous philosopher Lloyd Christmas...I can't stop once I've started....it stings'
