Scīscere

Music is another filter for perception of the world we exist in and our subjectivity governs what we make of ourselves within it. You can be deeply affected when you move even a tiny bit closer to the things that drive you in life.

 
 

Don't come to see me, I'm not here anymore

I’m pleased to give you a new work using some sounds from a new Native Instruments Kontakt library I’m putting together for the studio. The work features some dialog from the Barry Burmange & Delia Derbyshire piece - There Is a God from the “Amor Dei: A Vision of God” work.

Barry Bermange said that he himself thought of Amor Dei as ‘rather in the manner of a Renaissance painting with the believers in God in the foreground or centre and half-hidden disbelievers looking out from shadowy places round the edge of the painting’.

I can no longer remember when I produced this piece together with David Lynch ... but it was long, long ago in a magical place.

Produced using totally analogue synthesisers and recorded onto a Teac Tascam 8 track through an Allen & Heath System 16-8 desk. Instrumentation used: Roland - RS-202, TR-808 and MC-8 Microcomposer sequencer

 
 

Lyrics

Time, unimportant
Subject, Samuel Brown
Place, South West Institute of Mental Health

The subject, Samuel Brown suffered a loss of mental and physical capability after an accident at Magnetic Research Centre 2201

The face he now wears has a cold vacant stare of undue concern
You'll always see him staring; staring at the walls, and at the lights
A brain probe will be required

[Required?]

Survival probability will be low

[A door, yes, it's closed. Through sunlight I reach for darkness]

Begin the operation

[I remember, remember my wife (Samuel!), my life. Before, before 2201]

Brain probe now engaged

[I'm fishing; Released, I catch a clock. The time.My hand filled with ever escaping sand; knuckles white, yet I cannot keep a grip. Who, and where am I. Footsteps. Jenny's footsteps. I must retrieve her ring. No, it's somewhere in 2201]

Samuel! Samuel Brown. Can you hear us?

[What's the use? I want joy, not life, and problems, and 2201. A door, it's open, it's light. So much. I can't. A face? Jenny? No. Help. Help me! Help me!]

Follow me!

At the moment the world seems to become more dangerous each week as our leaders seem happy to casually threaten others with little concern for the possibility and danger of escalating situations. With this situation in mind I took a look at the secretive and scary world of Numbers Stations.

The one-way voice link (OWVL) described a covert communications system that transmitted messages to an agent's unmodified shortwave radio using the high-frequency shortwave bands between 3 and 30 MHz at a predetermined time, date, and frequency contained in their communications plan.

US PRESIDENT Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from a key nuclear treaty with Russia on Friday represents a significant "long-term" threat to NATO and its European allies, a former US official argued last night.
