Song: Beware of Dead Things
Session Date: Friday November the 17th
Recording Gear: Tascam 488 MKII, Behringer C-1 condensator mic, PC (Audacity)
Music Gear: Takamine Spanish guitar with steel strings
Log: This is the last of the Friday Kitchen Improvisations. After recording this song I went to the 'Walk Inn' to eat fries with mayonaise.
Lyrics: Will you find your home at last / Are you digging in the past / You won't find it there / 'Cause dead things are a snare / Are you emperor of all / Will you fly or will you fall / You can't stand back and look / You'll have to answer that call / Oh, I'm amazed at how stupid we are / We're so far / Removed from the spring of our youth / Oh, I'm amazed at how stupid I am / I'm so far / Removed from the spring of my youth
News: The player doesn't seem to work for several days now. I don't know what's wrong - and I don't feel like diving into it. Also, there are quite some songs now that I haven't added to the player yet. But if it doesn't work anyway - ... Maybe I have to get a new player.
Another thing is that rumour has it that Blogger is going to force all it's members to move over to Blogger Beta or the new Blogger. The new Blogger uses templates with different codes which would mean that I would lose the lay-out I have now and would have to build it up from scratch again. Nice, eh? Well, we'll see...
Yet another thing is that I would like to find a small label that would be interested in my music. Perhaps Morc records is an option. But my music is probably to neat for them. If you have a better idea, mail me.
Song: Flourish

Music Gear: Takamine Spanish guitar with steel strings
Log: The third Friday-last-week-kitchen-song. I was happy while recording this song and the original biblical Sabbath had just begun.
Lyrics: I'm so glad / That I'm here / And I'm glowin' / And I'm near / To the life that you give to all / 'Cause you got life / You got a heart / You give away / You'll never depart from your creation / I'm so glad / That I own / What I've got / And I'm owned / By a God who's just and real / 'Cause you are truth / You are the lamb / I'm accused / But you have been damned so we could flourish
Song: Beyond the Age of 8-bit Computers
Session Date: Friday November the 17th
Recording Gear: Tascam 488 MKII, Behringer C-1 condensator mic, PC (Audacity)
Music Gear: Takamine Spanish guitar with steel strings
Log: Another and the 2nd song I recorded Friday last week in the kitchen.
Lyrics: Will I ever turn around / When I'm on my way to bow down then / Low / In the future all is gold / When we leave the garbage mold, my friend / At last / Have we sunk like ship / Have we whored like a bitch / Our case's not strong / But the judge of heaven and earth has agreed to punish his son / He will never turn around / When he's on his way to strike down all / Power / Thirsty children they will drink / Mighty private parts will shrink down in / That hour / We will praise and be glad / When his gace shines in red / His anger's holy / But we must get offa this plane and be headed for Calvary's cross
Song: #2
Session Date: Friday November the 17th
Recording Gear:.Tascam 488 MKII, Behringer C-1 condensator mic, PC (Audacity)
Music Gear: Takamine Spanish guitar with steel strings
Log: Yeah, got out of work Friday and put my stuff in the kitchen because of the great acoustics there. Recorded four songs in a row, improvizing. This is the first, logically called '#2'..
Lyrics: Somehow / I'm gonna do now / Nothin' special but / Sit like a bird on a lazy cow / And the sun pierces / The crown of my head / And I think of a rainbow in the middle of the desert where I try to find a bed / Oh no, not that sound again /I have no friends / When I'm missin' out on sleep and I have to work again / Oh no, not that smile again / I can't laugh 'cause / I have to be a brute and I have to be a man
Song: Obviating Obstacles
Session Date: Saturday 11th of November
Recording Gear: Tascam 488 MKII; Behringer C-1 condensator mic
Music Gear: Yairi Spanish guitar with steel strings
Log: This song was built up as an 8-bit computer-tune. I started out with a 'bass'-line, and added some other voices. Then I wrote some lyrics and did the vocals, adding a second vocal that gets punched in at the choruses.
Lyrics: Immunize myself for my ill-judged choices / Lose my better half in a choir of voices / I seek completion but find nothing at all / Find a way to die, try to live a lie / I can't imagine that I'll wake up and fall / O, what a lonely place: the Purity Fair / I tried to make it but the cops cut my hair / Will I be blended into majestic grey / I just want a screen that says: 'simply OK' / I want to be in and I want to be out / I'm tired of being and I'm tired of these doubts
Song: Sunny Bird Up
Session Date: Friday November the third
Recording Gear: PC using Audacity; Tascam 488 MKII used as a mixer; Behringer C-1 condensator mic; SM 58 clone mic
Music Gear: Takamine Spanish guitar with steel strings
Log: An improvisation based on a smooth bluesy riff. I added some string-bending, then wrote some lyrics. First I tried to sing loud and high-pitched. That didn't work out well, so I tried a more casual style, crooning a bit. I added a guitar solo and threw a Wah over it. There you are.
Lyrics: I wanna push away seas of pain / Walls are stained / With the blood of a long lost friend / I heard the sound of war / The silent scars of things that used to be / Can you understand me / When I mutter in the rain / Oh, the waves of the ways in which I try to escape / From life and the fire of God / Stand up, sonny bird up! / You must fly into the sun and die and be dyed from red to white / With the paint of his righteousness (2x)
