Lute Score


Sorry, this track is no longer available. Please buy the CD when it comes out!

Lute Score

You locked me in the bathroom long ago, you bloody bastard
But sadness never floods a house where wine flows, I'm here playing

Lute Score, the video game where you hit the high score by composing
Lute Scores, and shooting off the pop up panda's head
Shooting off the pop up panda's head

When the monster attacked the city everyone was just too busy making money
To give a shit, some fled, most kept on doing what they were doing

In Samarkand Uzbekistan the Vietnamese chiropodist
Extracted a glass of clear green tea from his samovar
Extracted green tea from his samovar

A ghost tended two moss gardens, one marshmallow, one ectoplasm
Something to do with the free bamboo, something to do with the snow

Green plants, folk and fairy tales from German Africa
Swamp leg, an inner lightbulb, tragedy on stilts
An inner lightbulb, tragedy on stilts

Pins and needles, shoes and stockings, aches and pains, and vermin
Panthers waging war on cranes and storks

A battered, bandaged head climbs up an uphill landscape
A 200 foot wingspan black butterfly in space
200 foot black butterfly in space

An eager red-eyed dog licks red raw meat from an open ash can
Lamps, chairs, books, lightbulbs, cherries from a knife
A Decca-Deram furbelow, master of the bungalow
Writing with the white ink, the white ink of life

Lute Score, the video game where you hit the high score by composing
Lute Scores, and shooting off the pop up panda's head
Shooting off the pop up panda's head

I didn’t like the break-thing in the middle. There definitly should be one, but this sounds a bit nothingly. As if the pandaheads start disappearing or melting in front of your eyes. And I missed some dampened taka-taka or tuf-tuf noises, the sound of the brutal panda shooting. Shooting pandas in silence frightens more than with a lot of piff paff.

Well, of course it's two images sandwiched. I searched on 'Lute Video' then 'Space Invaders', then combined the best image from both categories. Not so dissimilar to what I did when I ran searches on 'Super Mario' and 'Madrigal' and found you, Adam!

Fee fo fi fum, I smell a fellow myusishi-un!

I was thinking of adding some video game noises to this track, but it seemed a bit taka taka, a bit tuf tuf, a bit piff paff!

Ha ha! What fun.

I think the next album should be called something along the lines of "Entertaining Idioms of Shit" after

You harlequins, you play such shit

and

When the monster attacked the city everyone was just too busy making money
To give a shit


Both these lyrics made me laugh out loud. Is it your favourite word at the moment?

Marvelous

(Mimes answer to Channing through two-way mirror. Nobody else can see.)

The Pizzicato 5 remix was certainly done with extreme tempo adjustments.

You're using the textures of these "unusual" instruments to great effect.

even curiouserer is jan svankmajers film “alice”, which he did in 1988. my friend and I were surprised how politically incorrect this film seemed to us. The girl was some sort of lolita-alice personage. I don’t think this was intended; merely part of his adaptation of the wonderland-story.

Stranger and stranger. Did babel fish help co-author this ? I take it that this is the Panda that extracted itself from the glass Sempreverde cube. I like it, I'd also like to hear it mangled even more by Fashion Flesh.

this song is enjoyable, because of it's urgent yet relaxing sound.

nice work.
