Sounds like memories from far away and the words come from a glass bottle, the bottom of it. I would have liked to hear more cleary the words and less effects. Maybe next time, what do you say? Sorry, my English is soooo sooo rusty. Glad to see you are o.k. :)

I couldn't resist and picked up a video sequence, I don't know how much it coincides with the idea of the music

Have you ever seen the Mickey Rourke movie Barfly? What a trip. Your use of that word instantly reminded me of a few classic lines in that flick that made me laugh.

Interesting as usual. Dark, sets a mood of despair, deep despair. Well done! Hope you are doing well after listening....he!

Take care!

Hiya Wayne! I knew using the term barfly would be loaded for certain listeners, haha! I identify, thats for sure — fav scene was stumbling into the wrong apt and raiding the fridge. The real genesis of the song was a matt johnson/the the short film that robin had me watch a year or so ago that opened with a long long take of a damaged individual before launching into this is the day. Can’t find a link to that for some reason.
Anyway, you got every wavelength i aimed for. Thanks from the heart for listening, man!

Hey paul — i’m glad you got the peace i wanted to convey. You know how it goes after one comes to terms after having hard realisations about ones self. You have a special ear, dude and my humble thanks for listening!

Gorgeous dreamy start (reminding me a little of the microphones in tone and mood ... I guess horseshead reminds me of elvrum headless horseman track) but here Im drifting in a tone cathedral ... the beat of the drum loop promises something but it seems I was dreaming and Ive woken now, or was I awake and now fallen vert deeply asleep, either way I want to go back to where I was but cant seem to remember where I was.
Great stuff - It would be nice to build on this and twist, deconstruct and reprise the theme and elements. Aspirational indeed.

Ian! You have made me aware of influences i don’t always pick up on, and you hit it every time. So now along with animal co i gotta get reacquainted with mics!
Thanks for seeing more potential in this. I had a much longer version but lost the thread. This track is the salvaged parts. You do make me think it’s one to revisit, i sincerely appreciate that. Good to see you, man!
Danke

Description : A track I did with a friend ages ago. I play the guitar and he sang and wrote the lyrics. The lyrics came mostly from headlines in the newspaper that sunday. Recorded using a crappy old microphone direct into cubase with a few overdubs

This is a surprise, for those was young in 1999, for the beloved Patricia (and the gift of her voice) and my brothers Nous2 and Jamid, kind people i met here. Let's go crying guys, hope you enjoy.

Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...

Description : Again, another early production from like two years ago. I had a cheap little Yamaha acoustic guitar that I borrowed and mic'd and some congas that were given to me as a birthday present. I used my iPad GarageBand app to record the strings and the big bass drum thingy at the interlude and little electric guitar parts in there too haha. All the vocals were done by myself and my brother throws in some little things here and there with his voice :P Enjoy!
