Ice: How did you do that? Sounds like ice wind chimes. I like the beginning the best! The piano is a tonal contrast. The mixture has a relaxing and chilling effect on a hot summer day.
I had envisioned the title referring to a suicide; however I suppose it could be anything attempted without success. In case you've not sussed it out yet, our friend Elle is not a happy camper.
Some day I'll get around to noting all of the…

I love this song's enigmatic title. I shall give you a hint: the two beings mentioned in the title are the same species. I shan't say more (unless you ask nicely).
@Tess: That's what I told my muse. I'm not sure WHAT she was smoking. The poetry and my manner of delivery remind me of Shel Silverstein. ;) Listen carefully for the Derps at the end of the track. LOL.
Wow, thanks very much. Quite gracious of you. I was a little insecure about it myself (not the composition which I think is solid, but the performance). I'd have spent six more months getting the vocals just so on this album. But then, paradoxically, some of them came out perfect on the first take. (Not this track!) But there I go again, admitting my own faults. Heh heh.
@Tess: It's a "flute-like" sound, isn't it? But it's actually a virtual synth app from Akai on the iPod Touch. Everything on this entire project except the vocals is the Akai Synthstation app. :)
Perpetual motion of things that will not stop even when we're no longer here. Strange feeling.

"Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?" Pointless, really... "Do the stars gaze back?" Now…
I was typing out a long comment about star-gazing and meteor showers and my cat stepped out the keyboard and made it vanish. C'est la vie. This would have made a pleasant soundtrack for my meteor-gazing of the past few nights.
What with all the great Zep covers posted by Tworegs and Chris Vaisvil, here's mine, I enlisted the vocal of the man himself, thanks Reg! Also note my new fretless strat as second guitar here.
@Ed: You're welcome & thank you!
@vaisvil: It's an SCI Six Trak. Yamaha CS-series are awesome. I love what Vangelis did with his 70(?). It's all over the Blade Runner soundtrack. Killer stuff.
Seb's sleeping soundly so i had a little time to do a live in the cellar version of Squeeze box by the Who...i added the percussion after hope you enjoy....Now i can carry on the day and little more relaxed after Squeezing this on out..
Misheard lyrics?
"But (Bought?) the fucking T-Rex
In your wide velvet breast
So I somehow I know
That it's safe"
Do I have that right? You do say you "forgot all your songs / The words now are (all?) wrong." Perhaps I am hearing those last lines correctly. Hmmm.
I adore the chord motion around 1:30 to 1:40. Oh, it's part of the progression. It happens at :18 and :35 and probably elsewhere. Funny I did not hear it first time through until the fourth repetition or so!
@ACL: Thank you. I'm quite taken with it myself. I have to remind myself (lest my head get too fat & swollen) that my muse creates these, not I. I simply recreate in the real world what she's singing in my head. :) Thanks for listening.
Poetry, a Cubist’s View is a “mash” of Benjamin Smith’s Ben.improv.Jul.16.2013 on electric piano and a combination of Paul Mimlitsch’s bass clarinet and soprano clarinet improvisations: “71913bcimpx1?, “71913scimpx1?, and “71913scimpx2?. I added…

It begins with electronics: it must be good. ;) Oooh, I love the low, looming, video-game-noise-at-the-end sound. Nice lead, too. :) I'm all smiles. :)

Like way cool, dude

Fireside tales: I totally love the harmonica and I think I may even hear a crackling campfire, nice
delicious synchromaticity
Hey this is a trippy one, thanks for sharing!
144 tracks? that's gross
Totally dig! w;-)
Nice , I like it
@Sandy: Thanks for listening! :)
dig this. sounds just like it was back when...you put me there. Thanks...
lol - hee hee - made me laugh. cool
love that recorder in the intro!
*The Giving Tree*: a classic Silverstein.

Lovely freshness here. The flute(?) is a great touch.
Super tight harmony!
Trippy!!
New version, for all you fans of really bad lounge.

A pleasant "boy lost girl" ballad. Nice harmonies.

Is this live timpani and steel drums? If it's not, it sure sounds that way! I like.
Very relaxing. Splendid harp work. 8)
Nice instrumental. I'm going to listen a second time right away! :)
I like the line "you talk about nothing / to fill the empty space."
One of my fav Zep tracks, nicely covered Reg & Kavin-acoustic-style. Well, there's some electric in there, but who's quibbling? Not I.
Pour me up some of your drink of choice, Reg. ;)

Very nice ambient track. What's the instrumentation?
I enjoyed the nice burbling flanger at the end, too.

Reminds me of some of Gilmour's post-psychedelia contributions to the Floyd. :) (I hope that's a compliment.)

@facemask93: Woah! That is a huge compliment! Thank you. Wendy Carlos is one of my massive heroes.
@Wrinkled: Thanks. It's all done on one analog synth, the classic SCI Six Trak. Three other tracks on this album were realized in the same manner. :)
I heard this on the radio just the other day. ;) Sorry, I jest. Nice piano tone. Is it a real Rhodes or synthesized?
