Yes, brooding a bit, but swinging too.  Interesting combo!

beautiful track, love the counterpoints, they bring some delicate third-stream sounds into the mix

Love this mysterious suspensful sounding song. And I'm curious about the photo. 

Exciting duet of the clarinet and sax, very nice

As always, a work in progress until end of month

The Bold And The Blasphemous

Going to the festival and there's no one to see. 
May as well take these pills on the way in with me.
We're staying up all night cos we don't need no sleep.
No cash, no fags, no tent and nothing to eat.
Slowly were going insane.
Shane, we all know your name.

Going to the festival and there's plenty to drink. 
We didn't bring it, but who cares what they think.
Wander round all night cos you ain't going to sleep.
No bed. No bag. No phones and nothing to eat. 
Slowly, we're going insane.
Shane, we all know your name.

Three days will go by in an instant.
Five years will go by in a flash.
Your life be gone before you know it so watch out.
Get yourself to the festival 
Best of all?
Now.

Going to the festival and you don't have to think.
May as well enjoy it while your lives on the brink. 
Staying home alone's no fun with nothing to do. 
No job. No home. No bird and no one to screw.
Slowly, we were going insane.
Shane, we all know your name 

Three days will go by in an instant.
Five years will go by in a flash.
Your life be gone before you know it so watch out.
Get yourself to the festival 
Best of all?
Now.

Folk Festival [2023]

method: all the sounds you hear, apart from the voice, stem from a piano that is more than moderately out of tune, most of them morphed by audacity and samplitude

wunderbar geborgen / copyright jo richter

am wunderstumpfen ende
einer zweispur-einbahnstraße
senkt sich eines planers wendeplatte
zwischen steile bordsteingrate
in deren runden schenkels wölbung
die allerletzte eiderente ein
einzelei ausbrütet - solch memento
prospektiver nostalgie lädt
karrussellgenau zum grübelkreisen
ein, zum rasend innehalten

wunderbar geborgen

QUE FONT NOS DIRIGEANTS

This one's pretty typical of how I tend to compose music - I often create a drum beat I like, then add a bass and build around that. The main inspiration for this ditty was basically to play to a less common time signature, in this case a 7/8 rhythm. That reminded me of the funny 'yes, but yellow' meme circulating out there on the internet, so I whipped up this quick image in Photoshop to go with it (note the yellow slice is 1 eighth of the pie).  😊

I'm playing all instruments here on keyboard, except the slide guitar (dobro?), which is made up of several short loops in Garageband, sliced up to fit the 7/8 pattern I wanted)

Thanks for listening; hope to ketchup with your stuff soon!  


INSTRUMENTS:
-bass
-drums
-percussion
-Wurlitzer electric piano
-slide guitar (loop)
-tenor sax
-trumpet
-clavinet
-B3 organ

Most of the Time (Funk in 7/8)

A song from my EP SUPERNOVA. I wrote this song to make people happy when they listen to this. 129 BPM. 2m43s. The main genre is Alternative rock. This is a fun song. This song is influenced by Britpop, too. I'd say this is more influenced by Blur. And this is also influenced by Interpol. I personally think this is an interesting song.

You could stole me
But fear is a psychedelic truth

She is lovely
Her sister is planning cruel
'Cause I know it
'Cause I know he has what to do
Take it easy
Evil can't beat the good
Please tell me
Why I'm your No. 2

She wants to sing
He wants to sing
Let's sing along

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."

Woodwind-powered experimental music (jazz/blues/ambient/funk/fusion/free improv....)[MOST TRACKS ARE DOWNLOADABLE] Wind instruments: tenor/alto/soprano saxes; Eb/Bb clarinets; flute/bamboo flutes; recorders; oboe; melodica (+ guitar+other various noisemakers) recorded on a Zoom MRS 1266 / R24.
