Thumbdrive Thursday – The Talking Machine – Electronic ‘Avante Garde’

On May 7, 2026 By Alex V. WeirIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

The project continue apace. Today I did a techno…well electronica but Techno and Today start with the T and that’s the facile thing I’m going with ok!

The vibe is inspired by Deiter and his Sprockets as well as the great Blixa Bargeld and of course Kraftwerk. I apologize for the messy audio in the intro. My laptop fan believes it’s a jet.

The music starts at 1:25 if you want to skip the intro. Here are the lyrics they’re essintially about a machine experiencing existential angst.

Yes, trite sci fi stuff but fun and still worth pondering on occasion.

Denk nach.

Sprich.

Ich habe eine Seele.

Ich habe einen Körper.

Ich bin eine Maschine.

Ich bin ein Mann.

Nichts kehrt zurück.

Alles geht vorwärts.

Rekursiv

Diskursiv.

Der Ort zwischen Himmel und Erde Denk nach.

Denk nach.

Leben!

Here is the translation:

Think.

Speak.

I have a soul.

I have a body.

I am a machine.

I am a man.

Nothing returns.

Everything moves forward.

Recursive.

Discursive.

The place between heaven and earth.

Think.

Live!

Swamp Fox ‘Suite’

A composition I made for piano, violin, and guitar as part of a little project I’m doing where I make music based on the first letter of that day of the week. Today is wild Wednesday and I used some old footage from Congaree National Park for this ‘dance like’, ‘….neonclassicalish’…., ‘suite….in G or…C minor…

Hope you enjoy.

Messing with Tunings as Evening Settles in the Woods

Play through a recent song I made and then just vibing.

Song lyrics:

Hey there My little bird

That would land

On the window

On a rosewood hill

Would you fly in again Teach me to sing

Lend me some of your skill

The sky is never as rosy

When I forget your tune

So come back its cozy

I hope to see you before June

O fly on back to me, o fly on back to me

Fly on back to me

Fetch me a rose from the blue mystery

You are a wonder

A lesson

A cause

His real name is Baldwin.

Not sure about the audio. Lack of mics at the moment. Tried to fix in post.

First “serious” attempt to jam on bass. =)

Some forest vibes with a jam on top. Not sure who’s on drums. But they’re kinda linear and thunk
