Description
Artist's description:
Dedicated to the outcasts of society.

I did drag this off of 4-track and will probably re-master.

In 1993 I compiled the cassette album Strange Beauty

The title indicated my aquisition of modules as an art form. However, I did do a few performance pieces and this is one of them.

This is a piece from the end of my Adlib era.

The backing track is from the Adlib card.

The recording was made onto a Portastudio 1 4-track cassette deck. As you will hear there were dropouts. This is taken from the "mastered" cassette so all of the pans are live and captured.

The portastudio has the ability to "punch in" and tape speed adjustment for tuning purposes. I took advantage of that to record vocals against normal and fast speed.

Adlib
voice
guitar and crate amp.
casio keyboard

Before you say anything - this was made years before Marylin Mason existed and produced a DVD of this title. This piece was my first on the internet and available on my Earthlink site for a few years in the 90's....

Lyrics
Dead to the World

Just a shade
A specter, a ghost
No place amongst the society of perfect being!

Dead to the World

Alien, unwanted
Not here, unseen
Untagged, uncounted
Lost, unwanted, despised, no home, no place, no Soul!

Dead to the World

Not my land
Not my heart
Not my body
Not even my life

Dead to the World

Cool composition. Depressing, but effective, lyrics. I'm not sure why but it kind of reminds me of Blind Faith. Also, with the 5 time and the backing, a little bit of Soft Machine.
Check out my latest song called Examination Dream
