about

Doesn't everyone??? Boring conversation? Bad job? Terrible relationship? Get on BOREd!! This was the weirdest jam ever - me with 'finger drums', a bass and a single acoustic guitar track and vocal going forever around in my 'spacement' until it started to sound like a a band of 4 people jamming in space. Fun and tedious!

On the other side (mixing), I had to make it cool.... like being on Mars. So there's lots of weird.

lyrics

For the curios, an early version of the lyrics:

The night looks so much closer from far away
the day is little pindrops through my window pane
I can see my past in the glass now
a marble spinning blue and bright
a single game of soltaire
drags on through an endless night

threads of static singing in my ears
playing century sounds I’d love to hear

and in a world of ice
congele noir et froid
at the speed of light
I live my adventure
je vis mon aventure

I might as well be on mars
(I might as well be swimming in the ocean,
I might as well vacation on the moon,
I might as well live behind the clouds)

A thread connection holds me anchored to reality
low level echo reminds me of where I used to be

speaker under pillow
Luxenbourg is there
on pirate radio
with parents unaware

Taurus at War Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Taurus At War is the album by Robin Jordan, me in Saskatoon. It may be a 'concept album'. Not sure, really... I'd say all records are concept albums by the artists (blah blah). Anyway, I worked hard on it and I hope you like it. There was no 'autotune' etc on the record. 'Whole thing was played and mixed as old school' as I could get it. So stop complaining if it sucks and hope you like it! ... more
