A universe from nothing

Top work Beanz.

Well done mate.

Cheers Andre and Rich.

It is quite challenging to use an old Russian manual focus lens with extension tubes to do macro close ups of your own face whilst lip syncing. Using extension tubes means the lens is only a couple of centimetres away and removing a contact lens whilst trying to remain in focus leaves little margin for error. Having said that,once you have gone out on the piss and forgotten that you don't have your contacts in and pinched your own eyeball a few times it's a breeze.

Do you think you could make Brock a STAR, how about a cover version of California Dreaming
Brocky Cass I can see it now in my minds eye.

A UNIVERSE FROM NOTHING

I make a Universe from nothing
from roughing
new shoes are meant for scuffing
apply treatment like an ointment
and liberate the touching
the hands, the bands
the made up and the strands
tie them all together
and release the pigeon fans

The outside is inside
and all because the bitch lied
the lady loves
the trodden dove
betray a tray for drivers
in a pit they rescue miners
trample down they said they would
they scampered off like spiders

And it tumbled out like treacle
the people, all stuck together stucco
rendered in the peep hole
and mended like a sheet hole
the boat it sinks majestically, interestingly
this world was never meant for me

Accidental karma
no Pharma sue to call
like cuticles and booty calls
and vapour trail conspiracies to distract me
when mankind dies through lethargy
inaction, no traction
a positive infraction
of your rights is wrong
your guns are so far gone
way beyond the shooting
and looting the rusted safety catch jammed
and I am
really something
a real thing
created out of nothing
a universe
within a new verse
a new curse
a gypsy
with a new thirst

A thirst at once for knowledge
your college
is all about the dollars
the life school
you blew from is
better than the new one

A Universe from roughing
from nothing
empty save for something

@Greenbeanz

first of all you psychotic Transylvanian Beatnik, that was a very refreshing and neurocortical composition which refreshed the current state of music quite welcomingly, and I thoroughly enjoyed it both for its mood/tone as well as for its sincerity. It was sincere, and sincere music is inspiring. Great job Beanz, you are the Whirlwind of Mood.

Good job on putting the lyrics together. You are very articulate and put words together in a very dexterous manner. That's a lot of words for 150 seconds, but because the track flows so smoothly you don't really realise that. I particularly like the seamless blending of words, unusual collocations, and the way you rhyme words that are not at all obvious.

Just a few questions because I'm curious about your process. How do you record your music? Do you have all the instruments yourself? What instruments are they? Do you record with other people? What equipment do you use for production? Also what is your typical routine for composing a track? Does the music always come first? Do you have a topic and then work around that?

I ask these questions because I think it is an interesting topic and we don't really have many threads on things like how to make music, and various creative things like that. There's a lot on the stuff we like, but not so much on the stuff we do ourselves and I just think maybe that could be something constructive and useful.
