From now on, I’ll be talking about digital watch. That’s because – at least in my case – when I take a look of an analog watch, and it says 10.49, in my mind the time is ten to eleven.

Ahem. Have I seen every possible time, when eyeballing a watch, at that time in question? Hours & minutes, let’s leave the seconds out.

I know for sure that I’ve seen 11.11, 22.22, 12.34, 23.45 and 13.37. You tend to pay special attention when you see those numbers.

I’ve probably seen all the round hours, right? Or maybe not. Perhaps I haven’t seen 4 and 5 in the morning.

So, there’s most likely dozens of times I haven’t seen at all! Those stupid early hours.

Do I care? Do I wanna “collect” all the times o’ the clock?

No, and absolutely no. As the title suggests.

Maybe I should go UTANFÖR DÖRREN more often.

I think CONSTITUTION was the last piece of music I produced in 2021. That’s famously that time of the year, when yours truly is not in it’s finest form. Despite that, I think the tune came out nicely.

The song also got stuck in my head pretty badly. Usually that doesn’t happen. Survival instinct you know.

Yeah, it’s one of those retro-C64-computer-SID-tunes.

They’re great!

And no. The day is exactly the right.

R: MR COFFEE, huh? What’s that? You forgot to add something? Like, other instruments for instance?

L: Well, no. The tune in question was intended to be just drums, drumming away.

R: I see. Are you trying to clever or something?

L: Not cleverer than usually. And I may – some day – produce an extended tune, using the drum track as the basis of another piece of music.

R: Some day, you say? Is this masterful construct your coming out in a week? Two months? Nine years?

L: You’re a jerk.

R: So are you.

Talk the talk. Walk the walk.

Make the make, do the do, Can The Can.

Be the be or Be to be. (Be the ball)

Can to can?

Do to do, make to make.

Walk to walk. Talk to talk.

NICE TO NICE.

I could’ve sworn I had more ice related piano songs than two – including ICE FLAKES – but I guess facts are more right than my hazy impression.

That’s ok. I can live with only two. Although… I’ve got my piano, fingers & brains and it’s freezing out there!

Or should I take a trip to the Bahamas? My skin sure would appreciate it…

Anyway, todays keywords are: Coldness, calmness, beauty of the winter, moisturizer & long johns.

Fender Stratocaster, old buddy. Good to see you again! I am gladder than gladstone to see that we’re still friends.

Yes, let’s kick off this year with some rock music.

MONDO DISMO is the highlighted part of the blog which you may click.

Points for you if you get the title even remotely. All the points.

And no googling there! Back off, hands up! Freeze!

Another year has passed. Good riddance, if you ask me. I’ve – or should I say we’ve – had better years, right?

So, what bugged me the most in 2021?

Well, those songs, usually at least decent ones, that got stuck in my head!

Here’s a couple of nasty ones:

– Killer by Van Der Graaf Generator
– Burnin by Blue Öyster Cult
– Limelight by Rush

… It’s the darnest thing… I had a clear winner here… Song that tormented me all through the year… But… It just seems that… It is gone… And I can’t remember what it was!

Well shoot & yay. I’ll inform you later, if the bugger makes a comeback.

TAKE CARE, friends.

Last week we talked about being slightly out-of-tune, and how it really doesn’t matter.

Well, I think ESSI would’ve been slightly better without those few notes that are slightly “off”.

On the other hand, there’s like 4 of ’em in the whole tune, out of like many, many notes.

Hmm, how many notes there are in that tune in question? Hundreds? Thousands? Slightly more?

For a while, I toyed with the idea of counting all the notes in there. But no. That would be insane. I’d go slightly mad!

Instead, I counted the notes in the first bar of the tune: 12.

You do the rest.

So, today’s Independence Day.

Our little tune for the day is MAD MADDER KING. It’s chiptune-orchestral fun with some intentional out of tuning.

I found the lead synth sound so funny, so I wanted to keep it that way, although hearing it is partly painful.

Out of tune, out of key, out of time, those are just stupid man-made concepts of forced order.

Footballer playing (brilliantly) out-of-position, liquorice in a salty dish, pedal steel guitar in a disco song… Now that’s some truly cool stuff!

“I’m not hungry. Freedom!”
