Remembering the first time I heard Gil Scott Herron’s ‘The Revolution Will Not Be Televised’ and what an impression that track made on me, and looking back at the last few years, and conversations with fellow musicians it seemed reasonable to voice our discontent. I was noodling around and made a groove to try to relax one afternoon, then asked a few people to add to it expressing their views of…
Listen to the speaker claim to Cut a little deeper Same people still ain’t equal Promises they’ll be a sequel
But what’s a promise from a criminal And the righteous subliminal It’s only political
There’s gotta be a reason that it rhymes with hypocritical
The water rising, women’s rights flicker like lighting
Children in cages, militias are frightening
The lawnmower trims the blood from the grass leaves And spits out the sins for another school funeral
There’s much too much blood to get blessed
How’s a man to hydrate with all these bullets in his chest
An overhead bowling ball hanging from a string That’s the state of things
Who can marry who What should we do It ain’t nobodys business To judge or to choose Classified emails lock her up Classified documents fuggetaboutit Get wise, inflated chicken thighs Bitcoin highs, Nuclear skies, Ukranian cries
Slip another ship of oil through the embargo
An overhead bowling ball hanging from a string That’s the state of things
The revolution will not be televised, it will be livestreamed, tweeted, and viral-ized, caught crooked corporations close door underhanded lies shared and discussed On every social media platform device. a grassroots movement, demanding some improvement from a system formed against us, the disillusioned but now the will of the people will not be denied organized online plugged in and amplified The revolution will not be controlled, By those who seek to keep us from being in the know. toned down freedom of reach This is the state of things, a call to action reduced to hashtags and memes The algorithm schemes to keep some certain things unseen just keep dumbing them down with the next big thing untouchable elite dance their way out of mind with their catchy choreography and throw away lines Times up tik tok, social credit score, ready or not hope you’re up to date with acceptable thought Big tech may try to censor and suppress, But the people will find a way to express the truth.
If you’re talking from prejudice Shut your mouth
If you’re speaking without listening Shut your mouth
If you’re coming from hatred Shut your mouth
If you only got opinions Shut your mouth
If you haven’t done the research Shut your mouth
If you’re shouting over others Shhhh….
If you’re quoting out of context Shut your mouth
If you don’t have the knowledge or experience Shut your mouth

Human Trafficing
Endemic Corruption

Levene said in 2012: “People thought I was classically trained, which was bollocks. I knew the E chord, and ventured into E minor.
In 2021, the website the Quietus described him as “one of the architects of the post-punk sound, his guitar style occupying a space between angular abrasion and pop opulence”.

just more chilled noise
“Thanks. I dig this. It’s spacious and succinct at the same time, It’s got a Bill Laswell vibe a bit.”
Just very VERY poorly edited (NeedleDrop) set of moments from a 2 and a half hour improvisational session with Patrick Higgins, aka… Badrico.
We are both contributing synthetics, and percussion etc… Patrick via a wind controller and keys, (I think), im playing Bass, El guitar, µFreak and percussion and sound effects.
Mix is a mess because its a live performance and we have to manage as we go…
Just Hit Play: and trance out for 23 mins.
Or… if your a sucker for punishment, or need a longer time out…
The 90 min version, Still some bad edits…
Some serious skills from Badrico, Foid, SlowGaffle and … me.
So back in1989 a friend (C Giles) and i did a STEINSKY inspired track, all done on a Tascam 4 track cassette, Ensoniq, SQ80, a DX7 and an Akai S900. We created a beat track, then performed the rest in live to tape then sampled bits of the radio news reports as it was coming in live.
The way the reporter was expressing totally justifiable fear, (understandable) but also some indignation that he was not ‘TOLD’ really spoke volumes about US entitlement!
We finished the track 45 mins after the news report had ended ran off a normal cassette and walked down to the national radio station, 2JJ.
We told the on air DJ what we had done, and he playefd it (unlistend) to Australia 10 mins later. One of the best experiences of my musical production life.
THIS WAS IT:
An unexpected little FONK with bananepoep
I’ve been using a couple of old mixes as test benches for LogicX’s new ATMOS PlugIn. I only have a quadraphonic setup, and obviously, most people are NOT set up in 7.1.4, so I’m rendering these out on Binaural.
First go, so pretty clunky and Not to spec, but quite interesting to play in.

Badly ATMOS mixed by Kirke Godfrey
This mix is a very hasty port from a Stereo mix…
into Binaural output of ATMOS as compared to a 5.1 or 7.1.4 etc.
Original Stereo mix is… https://www.shapednoise.com/site/archives/5857
Back in 1987 I bought one of these.

Its internal sequencer, timbral range and the fact it was 8 part multi timbral made it incredibly powerful and amazing value for money for the time.
All these years later I got to be glancingly involved in the design and testing of this recreation.
It sounds GREAT. and gave me a HUGE sense of DejaVue.
Some nice work with the wonderful ‘druid’ and ‘honey disco‘
These stunning vocals are from the sonourus Ahmed Mongi

Rather fun quadraphonic gig at a live venue in Hamilton NZ

I was playing some synthetics and the amazing Borderlands iOS
Its Behind you!
sort of a ‘KRELL’ patch from the micro freak
Really this is just about seeing what’s available in the new QuickSampler in LogicX, and as far as this tricks concerned, its pretty primitive compared to SOME of the tools out there, but given you can lock the loop lengths and start points to quantise values, it lets you do some fun stuff!
Just set up the CC’s in the mod matrix to 2 faders on your keyboard or whatever…
Start and Loop start to the same CC and Loops End to a second CC.
Into the Atticus and Trent sonic? Give this a dig…
Delighted to announce the imminent arrival of a new library from ModWheel
I’ve been assisting with, manipulating, and and doing some sonic design work on this for the last month or two … and all I can say is … ITS SERIOUSLY GOOD.

Had a rather dizzyingly early start a few mornings ago to jam with Imogen Heap via Endlesss
People : Meet Matt and Imogen…
The session was about an hour of absurd noises and some fun, it was an honour and delight to be involved …
I need to point out this was a collaborative effort, so also very much involved were: Jim Mclure, Rick Sands, and Jeremy Michael Skjevling.
Thanks to all!
Got asked, so…Setup was: OBS collecting my 2 vid streams (laptop and Phone cameras) and intercom audio sending via Google Meet to the very gracious Matt at Endlesss, then music via Ableton Live ‘blackhole’d‘ to the amazing @EndlesssFM Studio, synching all the audio from the UK and USA to me. My Toys were a few NI soft synths, a Microfreak, with a tokai tele and a stingray bass via GtrRig.
