A little four-bar, 21-second joke. It's all woodwinds and a tiny bit of sampled junk percussion.
Mr. Schaum was the band teacher when I was in elementary school. Hmmm, or was it Mr. Schram? I don't recall now.
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. :)
Comments on fallingupart's stuff
very cool. a lot like an old steve roach cd I have. only better :)
thanks! Yes I have that Luther Wright!
cool sounds here. Like flute/synth/perc mix!
The vocal kinda has a Bowie feel to it. This IS my favorite track. w;-)
What a great vocal! w;-)
Very 60's soundtrack for a movie w;-)
Love this...especially the percussion that you added! Very fine! w;-)
You had me from the first bar! Excellent! w;-)
Very cool sounds you got going on.
My bassist/friend Harv got one of those. They're so much fun for making noise.m
I've heard the rest of this CD and this is only the tip of a very, very, lovely, sonic iceberg!
Ah, thank you kindly. :)
This track is radically different from my others; please don't make it the only one you check out!
Loving this....... excellent

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?
