From the Stars - Pataphysics (Full clip)

Bandcamp: https://9gates.bandcamp.com/track/from-the-stars Streaming: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/pataphysics1/from-the-stars Recorded this song one evening late night. Set up the shot and pressed record. Used first takes only for guitar, keys, bass, drums and trumpet. Just chopped the jam coz it went for over 6 minutes. I was looking at the stars before the drum takes and some words and melody popped in my head. I use my Genjutsu time bend illusory resample technique on this joint. This technique was influenced by Itachi Uchiha's 'Tsukuyomi', I heard the sound in my head and made a chain in max for live to create the sound. Made it during covid times, in lockdown and been using it live for over 3 years this the first released recording of it utilised in a song. I have made a number of other recordings exploring this new style in greater depth, before this track. While primarily influenced by anime, it's similar or builds upon studio techniques first utilised on Hendrix albums. Conceptualised in a different way, giving more control of time parameters in real time. Live, I use it to spontaneously create new displaced improvised sections, creating a new groove, which works great with a rhythm section to explore new directions. Used it at my live set for the launch of Live 12 this year, with Maru (drums) and Waari (bass). Lyrics: 'I had a vision, said it was the future, descended from the stars, planted in a dream'. Produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Pataphysics. In the lore, this is one of the most powerful Genjutsu's, drawing someone into represent the "Spiritual World and Darkness". Controlling the persons conception of time.

Wealth Disorder (with Pataphysics & Niles Asheber)

'Four counts of raw, rustic, exotic, mysterious & radical ethno-avant free jazz. Niles Asheber on the Kuduzela or African Shofar (cos’ you know those motherfuckers stole it just like the stole the land) & conch shell as the wise-man minstrel.

Replacing the thief & caitiff William Doran – who could not even make his own session – is trumpeter Pat Marks, aka Pataphysics (also a dedicated activist, investigative reporter & rapper), who weaves a mantic of coiling effects riddled avant panache through the brass shotty.

The four tracks traverse an ornate, inventive & unpredictable mosaic of Glyph-Hop, Scolopendra, complex break-beats, scuttling & dextrous poly-rhythms, omni-tonal patterns & super fast, technical & gracile swing, bells, bones, blocks, artisanal gongs & gangan (African talking drum).

Conjuring a resilience ritual amongst a fire fly swarm from the enduring remnants of a triumphant tribe playing on cymbals dredged from an old ship wreck on make shift gear in a derelict cathedral erected by the repelled & vanquished former colonialist settlers during the longest night of a Pacific summer equinox …. yep! Ethnicity Against the Error muthufuccuzz.'

Ableton Push 3

Thanks heaps to Ableton for sending me a Push 3. Features on a single standalone device I've been wishing for over a decade. This the first joint I made on it. Recorded entirely on Push, using the built in interface. Mixed with Live audio effects. Set up the shot and pressed record. Used first takes only for guitar, keys, bass, drums and trumpet. Didn't fix any notes, just chopped the jam coz it went for over 6 minutes. I was looking at the stars before the drum takes and some words and melody popped in my head. Might put an extended version up on youtube or streaming.

pataphysics.substack.com

I started a Substack (Writing Platform) to share ideas. The latest piece is about the power of the mining Industry and the influence they wield over foreign and domestic politics. Will continue to share other things i write there. More social/political theory and maybe even some obscure rhymes that resemble rhythmic star ��� maps more than poetry.
