Remixing the Past : Broken Sails

Second song remixed from the 2008 "Broken Sails" EP, the title track.

The Mockery King of Snow
Sits silent in the rain
Staring into the wound
In the side of his broken sail
The stars they’re wandering
In the troubled sky below
All the men lay deep in sorrow
They knew of joys that never go

At the corner of sunken roads
In the pure shroud of snow
Even the greatest ship
Gets lost in the undertow
A heavy rain is pouring down
And it’s pouring on our souls
All the men lay deep in sorrow
They knew joy would never go

The fog bells ring, then ring no more
The poison’s getting cold
And who’s to heal our wounds
While we take the highest road
While the oceans depose
Our Mockery King of Snow
He’s been living on the tight rope
Carrying such a heavy load
Leading us to our broken home

Remixing the Past : "Heart of Darkness"

Apart from new projects, I took to task to remix my older catalogue, starting with the 2008 EP "Broken Sails".
Opening song : "Heart of Darkness".
Mostly recorded with the Prophet 08 I had just acquired.

"The waves of murder past
Grieve before the mast
No map no charts
Just a darkness in our heart
The ship our home
All things are sinking down
The underwater nest
The drowning of regrets
Get me another chance
A sweeter way to die
Oh well it’s such a sorry sight

Your sad complexion
Beyond this place
There be dragons
Oh why the sour face
We sail through rain and thunder
We just live in the flicker
I guess we don’t fit in
We just…

Drenched in the sea of lead
Mocking our tears of rage
The sea our grave
Adrift in storm and hail
Grant me another wish
An exit way from time
Oh well it’s such a sorry sight
Corruption
Beyond this place
There be dragons
Why the sour face
We sail through rain and thunder
We just live in the flicker
I guess we don’t fit in
I guess we don’t fit in
We just…

Death is skulking in the air
In the water
In the air"

Test : iPad as Music Tool

Testing some musical applications for the iPad.
The Funkbox app is providing the drums and syncing the Prophet 08 and Little Phatty.

Spring Setup

It was high time I reorganised my stuff. It's much more compact and convenient now.

Cover du Jour : "Mercenaries" (John Cale)

"Mercenaries are useless, disunited, unfaithful. They have nothing more to keep them in a battle other than a meager wage, which is just about enough to make them wanna kill for you, but never enough to make them wanna die for you"
