Wrong Again 02:08
I bet I got it wrong again I fret about it every time The heart will hurdle the brain I'll try to compromise But I bet I got it wrong again

Zero 04:17
Constantly homesick for an unknown zone Permanent road rage but there's nowhere that you need to go Zero inspiration A rut is where you're at You've ironed out the creases And the jagged edge of that key-ring doesn't snag your pocket like it did Dishing out advice whilst having none of it You found a way out but didn't bring a coat and it's cold Zero inspiration You're living in a loop You sanded off the corners And the jagged edge of that key-ring doesn't snag your pocket like it did And you might feel that you need to break something And you might feel like you want to cause some pain And you might feel that you'll never be yourself again And you might feel that something drastic needs to change Still, you feel the same Zero inspiration You're living in a loop You sanded off the corners Zero inspiration A rut is where you're at You've ironed out the creases And the jagged edge of that key-ring doesn't snag your pocket like it did

Leaf Like 05:20
Time has flipped itself into Yet another fresh and uncompromised calibration Flipping your head into oblivion Dare you take a moment to look it in the eye Exceptional realities impale your years

Well now, look at you Under the sun, there's nothing new But can you really say The first one did it another way? Plagiarise; take a punt The fake, though flawed, will overcome An overwhelming urge to quit There is no 'whelm' and that is it Traversing peaks and valleys Busy high streets, dim lit alleys All the others got it right Up 'til now concealed their plight As the landscape bends to a level field In the distance, a sharp incline revealed That's the one, keep pushing on Whether or not you got it wrong Whether or not... Plagiarise; take a punt The fake, though flawed, will overcome An overwhelming urge to quit There is no 'whelm' and that is it Whether or not, whether or not...

about

Extracted from and speaking to an unusual stretch of time.
It was the early hours of 2020...

The recordings are an arrangement of voice, custom 4 string guitar, bass, bowed treeano (a two metre storm-felled tree trunk strung with piano wire), Volca Sample, assorted found object percussion (conkers, seed pods, jar lids, metal rods, beer cans, pencils n paper etc), field recordings around lock-down Lisbon and a shot of midi organ. Filtering, compression and reverb was applied sparingly.

This was an aimless project and I find that incredibly satisfying.
A remedy, you could say.

"as the landscape bends to a level field
in the distance, a sharp incline revealed
that's the one, keep pushing on
whether or not you got it wrong"
