"Tether"
Whatever it was, is wasn't manumission
To spill the blood, to pull the weed
You can bury the past, but it's a mausoleum
With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be
Can we bring it together,
Can we call from the mountain to the valley…

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…
Full and exciting Chris. I thought it would be marvellous as a soundtrack for a film of the book Animal Farm. Not what you intended I'm sure! Cheers Bee

Well, I play this in Fokker 7-limit Just Intonation on the piano and I didn't attempt to try to sing as high as Robert. So that makes the vocals hard to nail right there. And I played it over many times the past 3 days and my voice got worn out…
Nobody can follow Plant, especially on this one, so why even try? I ought to dare my local classic rock station to play this version and tell them I'll stop listening if they won't do it. Heh heh. That'll fix 'em, won't it?
I dig the improv at the end; it makes me think that perhaps I should do my own "New Age" style cover of Stairway. Hmmm.

i wouldn't say murdered maybe a little beaten up though ....i love that piano work this is the first time I've ever heard it on the piano and it sounds great.....
Neither of us realized this is a Van De Graaf Generator song - I received the lyrics through an old friend of mine who passed away a few years ago. His book of poetry by Peter Hammill was one of his favorite possessions and he hand wrote out the…

Certainly is stirring stuff, unnerving and thought provoking. I really love your music Chris it's like it's stalking, ready to pounce - like a cat. Cheers Bee

With JS Tolar, as band Visions Of Nell.
My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
This was written after an incident in the early morning hours as I was waking. It wasn't really a dream but the whole thing came to me as the lyrics tell.

It was the last day of RPM and he asked me to write a lullaby for a track called Cornucopia. Very much enjoyed how easily this one flowed. That's my mum, Bee Mathis, adding class to the…

haven't done a song that was laid back in a while, no fuzz, no distortion.
this is sort of a laid back prog song about a woman in, or your dreams that made an impact at the time, though she was never really there.
it runs about 9:16. thanks…
FDR sent me over this superb backer to see what i could do...well i went back in time... to the time of Motorbikes and leathers and living life with no tomorrow...oh what fun it was back then shame we have to grow up!.........well have to sell…
this is a collaboration with my old guitarist chris vaisvil with whom we are celebrating being in our first band 40 yrs ago.
chris does the 12 string guitar and the lead guitar at the end. i am doing the bass, keys, drums and vox. i wrote the…
An exercise in dissecting a well known song to see what makes it tick. Drums are looped, bass is not in tune, guitar is not quite right, but I'm slowly getting there. Will update this later. Somewhen...
Comments on vaisvil's stuff

I heard this on the radio just the other day. ;) Sorry, I jest. Nice piano tone. Is it a real Rhodes or synthesized?
