This demo recording turned out particularly well, especially when compared to how most of my MYTHOPOETICA recordings sound. The lead guitar employs an Eastern Folk scale and style of picking, greased with GEM-style Blues butter.
SUPER YOU…

Psychedelic Folk. Ever meet that special someone in a laundromat? Ever do it on top the dryer? Either way, you’re sure to dig this clean groove. Compilation by Stephen L. Krell and Gene Eric Mann.
One of my favorite recordings and favorite songs. The drums of this Political Folk tune was generated with the Yamaha E313. The lead guitar break needs replaced with a violin, but…
THE FINAL HOUR
Welcome to the final hour
Everybody kneel…
Another Psychedelic Sea Shanty. This one follows a Fox Trot beat. I didn’t have a mic screen when I recorded the vocal tracks – my voice is piercing at moments. Hope you are nonetheless able to enjoy the mix-down. Pan flute by Starry Nightmoth…
This song is really intriguing. A who done it sort of tale. I love the line that Poor Old Admiral Smith....he's not with! Really make a person try to hear the lyrics that follow just to find out exactly what went down! Amazing how so much of a story forms by the end!
A Sea Shanty with a bit of Psychedelic seasoning. Guest artist Starry Nightmoth performs the “harmonica” on a Yamaha KB as the song fades out.
37 SAILS
Thirty-seven sails be a full rigged ship

Really cool song! The theme and melody are really memorable. The riff with the fife/synth is really cool. I like the other synth sounds too. Like seagulls circling a ship at points!Also the strumming is really rich and full! Great way to start the day!

One of my better Psych Folk recordings. Intro voice and keyboards by Starry Nightmoth. BG rhythm/drums generated using a Yamaha E313 KB. Lyrics, music and all other instruments and vocals are my fault.

Not an overall bad recording, and I’m quite pleased with the lyrics of this Psychedelic Folk tune.

Thanks for your kind comments! I've been listening through your stuff, I'm amazed with how much material you have, you seem to pull riffs out of thin air! Good use of sound fx for storytelling :)
JUMPSUIT BLUES
As I slept this morning,
I dreamed of what you said
How you said you loved me,
And from my toes to head
Then I woke to Chow Call,
Prison walls around my bed
‘Morning to you, Jesus!
How did you sleep last night…

Crumbs - this is good... Listening on headphones, wondering whether I've been drinking or not.
Started out as very relaxing - slightly disturbing after a while! lol
The thunder and rain came as a welcome release of the tension.
Really well put together.
2112 part VI: Soliloquy
The protagonist returns to the cave and broods for "days". He imagines "what my life might be in a world like I have seen", and now considers life under the Federation "cold and empty", with his spirits "low in the depths of despair". He resolves that, in order to "pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last", he must take his own life— his narrative ending as "my life blood spills over."
One of the most famous soliloquies in literature is Hamlet's where he contemplates suicide, saying "To sleep, perchance to dream". The title of the song movement indicates a similar struggle where the protagonist chooses the liberation of spirit "that with my death I may pass into the world of my dreams, and know peace at last".
Starry Nightmoth and I (Gene Eric Mann) labored a few days on this tricky number. We gave it our best shot, but mucho kudos to Del Shannon's keyboardist -- his break rift was amazing! We settled for sort of faking our way through, which was…
BTW, the Del Shannon version is in A minor/A -- we transposed our version to E minor/E simply because I can't "wa wa wa wa wonder" and "wai wai wai wia why" as high as teenage Del anymore.
Boston, Massachusetts is not just a college town. It's THE college town. I mean it. Seriously. There is a major university in just about every neighborhood, and there are institutions of higher learning on nearly every street corner. Add…
This is my arrangement of the classic organ piece attributed to Bach, for two pianos. It was done entirely by ear, so I changed many chords. It's part of my album, Analytic Continuation.
Here's me and the old Joanna live in the cellar for the John Lennon Jukebox ...i surprised myself on this one ....only a couple of fluffs on the piano..which with only three takes and reading the lyrics from the ipad is the surprise....hope you…
It was about time I got on with musical expression. This song is about our interconnectedness. Our identity. Serious mystic stuff eh? Yeah - wait until you hear it - haha.

So 50/90 is an unnatural forcing of a crap ton of songs in a relatively short period of time. We're half way though and I've learned one thing. I've learned how easy it is to repeat something you've already done. This one sounds a LOT like…
I will have to disagree with the commenter below me -- I dig the vocals as they are in this one. Choice lead break, dude! Yeah, I'm into this, and appreciate the mix down and mastering job as is -- Rock on!
Slick and cool, gorgeous and haunting -- an excellent composition. Colorful (many shades of blue), bittersweet, interesting texture. An all around fabulous job -- Rock on!
Gene Eric Mann was kind enough to do noise removal for me. The hiss is all gone, which is awesome! The resulting track has an interesting ethereal quality. This might end up being rerecorded at some point, but this is an amazing improvement!
Re-check your e-mail -- there's yet another mix down of this song, with extra rhythm guitar, lead, bass, and BG vocals. I had fun adding myself to your very cool song. You ROCK. Rock on!
This is the rerecording of "I Lose Control." The first recording was using my computer's internal mic, just to get it down. I didn't want to wait until I got home, so I got a cheap $10 mic at a pawn shop with an adapter and ran it straight in…

I've downloaded the file and have already removed the floor noise -- no problem. But I also discovered what is called "over peaking" in the file, and I'll fix that as well. I also noted that your file is mono, rather than in stereo. I'm going to fix that too, plus add some reverb. I'll send you the results shortly and I may also take you up on the invite to add tracks to a 2nd mix down of the file. Meanwhile, Keep on Rockin' in the Free World.
Comments on Gene Eric Mann's stuff
Thanks for always being so wonderful Gene! May you smile on us and enjoy the music of the Gods!
Goodbye, Gene. Thanks for all the listens and constructive comments.
Working my way back on your music catalog. this is fantastic. trippy washed guitars and the lyrics are spot on.
Nice twist on the Beatles classic... very interesting. I like it!
Clever! I think a lot of work went into this one. Thanks for your comment on my song. Paul
I woke up thinking about this song. I had to come and take another listen. It's the only *WASHING MACHINE* song I know of.
Outputy! loving this..
Just discovered this one in the mix.... wow!!!! What a beautiful song and amazing arrangement.
This song is really intriguing. A who done it sort of tale. I love the line that Poor Old Admiral Smith....he's not with! Really make a person try to hear the lyrics that follow just to find out exactly what went down! Amazing how so much of a story forms by the end!

Strange...in a good way. Some mid PF studio output work right there.
You Rock my dear friend!!♥
Lovin it!

Hey Gene, love the sound and the songs ,ya did a great job, hope you got our private message, we're new at this ,, Jack & Cindy
I'm totally digging this! It reminds me of old Barrett-era Pink Floyd.
Yup... I'm a sucker for Eastern influence :)
Amazing lyrics!!!!
I love this track, it gets better every time I hear it......

Gorgeous and sweet.
I dig your last 5 postings, but this one especially entertained me.
Amazing! Excellent job. You ROCK -- Rock on!
For a live recording, this came off especially fine -- really, a great job, y'all!
Of course you know I like it. but I do so hope others will enjoy our collaboration as well. It's a pretty song, nice lyrics, well sung.
VERY GROOVY, VERY COOL! Nice poetry, vocals, musical arrangement, and mix down/mastering job. Quite entertaining.

Some really nice things strung together here, with some great flavor, interesting colors, pleasant textures.
Enjoyed it. Nice mixing and mastering job. Good songwriting. Rock on!
Woks for me. A fine compilation, very intriguing.
I really got into this. You've strung together some great sounds and mixed and mastered them quite professionally -- great job.
Nice... and somewhat eerie-ish in places! A good compilation of sound. I got into it.
