Description: All the fun of the fair (?) with treated flute and clarinet meanderings around a drum and bass spattered field. Pablo Fanques may have been a subconscious inspiration.

@before-23 Many thanks - glad you enjoyed the clarinet - it's a great instrument for flexible sound. Cheers!!

…and even more Papua New Guinea… as if the tribes come back and reclaim the life taken by greed, machines and the stupid illusion of eurocentrism…

I dig the wide spread on the percs, giving the center stage plenty of room for all the hustle and bustle of activity.

Quite the intriguing mix on this one, Nigel. Rich stereo field with well placed elements. Nice future-jazz mood too.

a psychedelic tour for the synapses through an operation carried out precisely with frequencies by a master of his craft ......

Half Blind Lucy - A Part Of Me

Legion der VerDUBten

This version of the Cuckoo was recorded and performed as part of my IG live stream in late October 2020. I've been working on this song since about 2018, and this is the penultimate draft of my 2020 lyric version. I constructed this variation of the tune on instrumental John Fahey's "Variations On The CooCoo" and studied Clarence Ashley's folk performance of the work. The Taylor 352ce 12 string guitar used for the track was tuned to DADGAD down a minor third. 

iWishing y'all have a great summer, and always listen for the cuckoo's call!

The cuckoo is a crazy bird and he twitters as he flies.
The cuckoo always cries “Coup! Coup!” Even on the 4th day of July.
The cuckoo is a crazy bird and he warbles as he lies,
With pink eyes, corona plumage, and a lemon crest swirling high

He’s built high nests in Lido; he swings by the isle of Skye.
I’ll bet you all your “Proud Boys” he’ll drain Dubai dry.
He covets tender lillies and pins them in fear,
He suck out their eggs to keep his antibodies clear!

O, Don of diamonds! O, King of clubs! I surmise you from texts of old.
You’ve torn asunder this once Great land many a friend became foe.
So I’m gonna to grow me a hemp farm on a mountain so high
So when ole Willie comes calling, that red haired stranger won’t smoke me dry!

The doctors spinning test tubes developing vaccines
Can’t help but hear the cuckoo song the Fox doth sing.
We’re masking and zooming, and gasping for breath
& That mother’s treating Air Force One like it’s his private jet.

Showers make his corona golden
like Nostradamus seen fortolden
The end of mankind unfolding
Unless we all franchise embolden!

“Coup! Coup!” “Coup! Coup!”

The cuckoo is a crazy bird and he Twitters as he flies.
The cuckoo always cries “Coup! Coup!” until the end of election night.
The cuckoo is a crazy bird and he warbles as he lies,
With pink eyes, corona plumage, and a lemon crest swirling high.

Electing is pleasure, impeachment is grief.
An inconstant lover is worse than a cheat
A tax cheat can but rob you, taking all you’ve got;
An imprudent leader can bury us'll on the spot.

In the haze of Wuhan China, they cleared the forest paved the creeks
The wild beings sought refuge in the markets of the streets
The workers packed in concrete barracks like sardines a crushed tin box
In these inhumane conditions it’s a wonder they didn’t die of pox
When they get their day of hard earned leisure they wander the smoggy streets
Seeking simple pleasures and the tastes of exotic meats
The caged beast shivers with disease & the capitalist he sneers
Unwittingly it shed a molecule clad all in spears.

The doctors spinning test tubes developing vaccines
Can’t help but hear the cuckoo song the Fox doth sing.
Masking and zooming, and gasping for breath
While this mother’s leaving Mar-A-Lago in his private jet!

Showers make his corona golden
like Nostradamus seen fortolden
The end of mankind unfolding
Unless we all franchise embolden!

“Coup! Coup!” “Coup! Coup!”

Aho!

The Cuckoo Variations

The Cuckoo

Thank you for your interest and listening to this track of mine.
Out of the atmosphere. 
The world is silent. 
I imagine there are many stories in the stars, but I hear nothing.
 It makes sense that we look up at the sky and think about the universe. what's going on?

Mmm how to describe... a 130bpm experimental electronica techno track with a kind of 1980s Japanese influence.

Crash (25/8) By The Welcome Parade

Just echoes in my mind
So much is lost in time
Language sold to the dollar
Cause your king needs food and wine

Crash 25/8
We ain't gonna die
Die that way

Control is everything
Then there's nothing left to lose
Language sold to the pound
Just let me know ill write them fucking down

Crash 25/8
We ain't gonna die
Die that way

Notes: 
The leading track off the debut album for The Welcome Parade. An indie effort through and through with a group of people who wanted to make some noise.  

This was the last song in for the album and it show cases what 8 months of working together has changed.  Jay sent this out, with a description of his vision.  I think both Thom and I were floored and a bit dazed, as we tried to get our footing on this beast. 

I think this is the first time Jay uniformly received push back from both of us.  The things he wanted changed, simply refused. He had nailed such a strong performance in every spot he occupied.  

We had our first all hands meeting yesterday as a band and everyone got a few laughs out of this piece.  Jay's story about his voice being hoarse 2 days after recording this.  Thom's story "I am not sure I want to play on this".  Jeff's refusing to do backing vocals "How the f**k do I do better than what you already did, no absolutely not".

A fellowship of music lovers with a penchant for something honest out of our work.  I hope you will join me in supporting The Welcome Parade(@thewelcomeparade).  

Peace and love my friends and here's to a happy and hopeful 2021!
