Description : I never know what genre to call my stuff. There's spoken word, yes, but it ain't really that. If you can't dance to it - if it doesn't make you want to dance - it ain't worth much. This one is sort of my New Year's resolution. My wife and I are separated, and I'm trying to get to a place where I act out of love, not anger and bitterness. But it is hard, my friends. The words/vocals are from Wallace Stevens reading his great poem "To the One of Fictive Music" - I selected words and phrases to say my own thing (forgive me, Mr. Stevens).

If you have time take a listen and give FallingFrogs some feedback.
WRT Mr. Stevens, you're speaking my language, brother. He remakes language. (Just take that "nave" line, for example; one could write 10 pages on that alone and still fail in a complete explication - the play on words between "nave" and "knave", the cross aspect, etc. - But I digress.) I actually set his entire poem ("To the One of Fictive Music") to music. That done, I was then freed to deconstruct it and rob the very bones from his grave to build my own skeleton. Well, so it always is; time makes us all Oedipuses.
As for the age point you made in another review - probably. Ugh. And so much yet to do!
Anyway, so nice to connect with you through music. I'm mesmerized by your stuff - recognize the massive heavylifting and delicate finesse that went into it - and look forward to lots more listens.
Thanks, Frenchkid. Means a lot to me that you dug it. Coincidentally (I guess) I just listened to Koukotsu's track, "Lizard Breath," where you added the guitar - beautiful work there, from both of you. So great to hear a collab like that. Every day I fall a little more in love with this site.

Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.
Description : This improv recorded a few years ago powered my interest even further than I expected.....recorded using tc electronics pedal and tascam studio recorder and a Fender Squier tele electric....
Description : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.
Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.
Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."
Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice
Description : This track describes a magical state that I experienced a long time ago. Maybe you also know the feeling that you can't describe something like this with words ... luckily we have the music for it!
Description : So this is my first Chill Outish track. I was just trying something new and then suddenly this was a thing. Everything you hear is home made. I hope you enjoy. - Mr. Spook'd

Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...

"Poetry is the supreme Fiction, madame.
Take the moral law and make a nave of it
And from the nave build haunted heaven."
Good stuff.
This track reminds me of On-U-Sound (not Tackhead, but related work) so much that I faved it before the 1/2 way mark.
You've got a new fan!
