work in progress early march 2024
I have been working on a track that has the central heating sound of the house I lived in from 1978-2004 (excluding 1985-86). I recorded it before I moved out. I had to fine-adjust the tempo & I added it to M-Tron Pro Braked sounds i.e. coming from below audible pitch up to normal & the other from normal pitch down below audible range.Then I added some PPG sounds controlled by Bluecat's Patchwork synth and added a bit of oxygen machine noise near the end. Then, this morning I added about 53 seconds to the start. etc etc. It's ongoing.



The Question backing track was recorded in 2011.
I recorded the improvised vocal on Saturday 27th January 2024 & re-recorded the vocal on Thursday 8th February 2024
(I finally fulfilled my pre-requisite by getting this to sound bigger than my head)

lyrics
Are they working on you ?
Have they got you fooled ?
Are they working on you ?
Have they completed the job ?
Have they completed the job ?

World, spinning around & through your head
Have they told you what to think, already ?
"But, your life's your own"
Well your life's your own
Keep believing, keep believing ... it.

Being used, being used.
We're all being used
If they keep it out of sight
Just to make sure you goalong with (all of) it.
With a little fight in your head, telling you,
Critical analysis is to bow to their wisdom

"Conspiracy theorists" - Dismiss
"Putin puppets, Apologists"
Don't need to know what goes on.
Just a need to be told
what the only valid lines of assessment are.

Are you being used, by them ?
Are you being "Not confused"?
Are you played through ?
Have you become a vessel
of what they pump through you ?

We have a Cure - The Final Nail (Lyric)

We have a cure
for a disease
we haven't
finished inventing

Will it be a good thing
& soon
to reduce the numbers

We Have the Answer
We are the Problem
Everything
will be gone
Everything
Will be gone

They're playing around with us

Everything

We need more War
We need more Disease

We have the cure for a disease
we haven't finished inventing

We have the answer
We are the Problem
Soon all will be
Gone

Watch it all
Fade
