The Mad Mixer

[StephenM]

This is very weird which I am totally ok with so I think the fit will be for Halloween... I really got a bit crazy with effects on drums and voices.... and so I found out my little zoom r24 has some cool features....one of which is the microphones which I used in stereo to get a different vocal effect.... I just got a new set of Alesis Nitro electronic drums so this is first banging away on them....really like them so far btw.... a big step up over my Alesis Performance Pad.... I intended to cut off the last 30 seconds and paste the very end back in because i really like that (it was created with tongue whip).....so 20 of the last 30 seconds are kind of awful....sorry
Much better with stereo listening!

I'm feeling tired (temperatures rising)... I don't think I can sleep so (poli tic ions)....here I sit, I feel lifeless (blue skies folded)... my face is drawn out and pale (i look beyond my years)....earthquakes, tornados, (i look beyond my years)....  i do the chant for the earth, the healing chant for the land....I wonder what will be the outcome?....Do i have hours?  Days?  Weeks?  Years? (We need to get out of the way and allow) (Nature can heal itself)... i dunno none of us knows...I don't think men can solve their problems 

...I look at the world and think whose problem?  (Nature doesnt need us)I have no faith in man solving his problems...(man cant even get along with his neighbor)...Poli tick ions belch forth lies, plans, meanwhile their bank accounts grow....we're left holding the bag of pollution....I'm not really worried about the world of nature....nature can solve it's own problems...take man off the earth...the earth will thrive....(i cant even figure out what to eat for lunch.)...CO2 under green skies....(i look at my wife and smile holding my wife and kids)...as close as i can...be thankful for this day...sometimes its stunning, I don't know what to do

Some days when i cant sleep i hear my mom sing that lullaby in my ear becomes salty tears on my pillow....sweet sleep because even if shes not here anymore she dwells in my heart.. I really like these microphones....

Cool effects and stream of consciousness. Psychedelic and spooky at the same time.

Sounds like a lot of fun was had with the new drum kit....a spooky therapy session

very cool sounding composition , there is a lot going on in the song with an edge on the "Floyd" side creeping into the mix , you have a very creative side to your music which shines through on this track , great stuff

Really enjoyed this spooky kind of psychedelic freak out. Lots of fun stuff going on, I'm afraid I quite enjoyed the last 30 seconds or so when everything drops drops out except the drums and you start the "la las". You are very creative indeed, it's always a blast to see what you come up with next.

Weird and cool, great sounds.
I can hear early Floyd in this as well, Piper at the Gates of Dawn era.

Thanks for posting the lyrics - yes very cool and innovative. I liked the lah lah's too and "I really like these microphones" made me laugh.

[Ray Brookes]

Weird yet cool, Stephen. Very creative in putting this together - I wouldn't know where to start with something like this. Perfect for the Halloween Fest.

But kinda compelling
