Being somewhat obsessed with time bending, temporal anomalies, and time loops in my own recordings, I had to check this out ... and I sure wasn't disappointed!

Music: Jan Schonander

I published a vocal version of this a while back, but originally I had intended this to be instrumental only. Turns out I listen to this a bit so I thought maybe there are some listeners out there that might enjoy it too.

Sunset On Ibiza

Inspired by the silent film "L'inhumaine" (The unhuman woman, 1924). 
Spoken words are screen text from that movie, except words by
master of ceremonies in the middle of the track.

The anticipation - the standoff - the requiem 

A favorite movie of mine from my younger days is "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" famously ending in a Mexican Standoff between Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef. Directed by Sergio Leone with music by Ennio Morricone I recommend this spaghetti western to anybody who hasn't seen it.  On a whim I thought I would perform a musical reenactment, although in my version there are no survivors.

The experimental part of this has to do with the reverb on the drums in the "shootout" to simulate gunshots.

A Mexican standoff is a confrontation where no strategy exists that allows any party to achieve victory. Any party initiating aggression might trigger everyone's demise. At the same time, the parties are unable to extract themselves from the situation without suffering a loss. [Wikipedia]

Mexican Standoff

I was a bike messenger. It never leaves you.

asphalt pinball
in the morning

rocket on
marathon

trucks and taxis
coming at you 
double dance move
get away
asphalt pinball
it’s a hustle

canvass bag
cargo tags

cop in bike lane
traffic ticket
time is wasting 
run away

open car door
broken window
glass on pavement 
shitty day

chain links clicking
through Manhattan
red light running
all the way
asphalt pinball
burning muscles

it’s the same
in the rain

I did the vocals as always .
Lyrics:-
I really didn't plan to be here
It's not my best day
'Cause I'm trying to figure out 
Where I went wrong
I've gotta understand the meaning
Of my feelings
A distant light shines 
In the darkness now

The Past
The Present 
The Future

I'm stuck in a time loop
Stuck in a time loop
That's my fear
I'm never gonna get out of here

Time is a construct
