Pause For One Second Before Speaking 01:00
lyrics
Take time to listen to others. They know things you don't, and that may help you. Take time for yourself to think and to recharge.
2.
Když 04:33
lyrics
Ponder everything around you. Deep listen. Deep focus. Have patience
3.
What Have Happened? 04:44
lyrics
Be completely bemused by the craziness of the world. The origins of the phrase 'What Have Happened?' could be a whole chapter of a book that I've been watching the film of for the last 47 years. The Owl vs Emissaries of Syn 'Life!'
4.
Demolishing The Confines Of Painful Memories 04:20
lyrics
Know you must break free from all that suffocates you from your past or your surroundings. This refers to physical, mental and metaphysical. This one is for all my old friends in the UK who like 'orrible fuktup riffs.
5.
Vymazané Scény #1 04:55
lyrics
Edit your memories (but not the lessons learned) to not be drowned in guilt or grief at all times.
6.
Resynmorda 04:33
lyrics
Look back on what you learned and figure out which parts you should zoom in and expand upon to get more out of the experience.

Ylem Expansion~PlII Ztej 410mvrsn 10:00
lyrics
This is a test. Even for those who really get it. Sometimes it is good to stick to what you know. It is all about knowing when to fixate on something for longer, and eventually it will give you an outcome you don't expect. Just have the patience to see the idea through, to be sure. Think about how everything is made. How much everything there is. I tried to make it sound like I know what anything is, what everything is. At least I know there is one and the other. This soundtracks that. 'Loading game'.

The Wise Owl Decides To Coexist With The Worm 09:30
lyrics
aka 'To Be At Peace'. Finally, if you can combine all of these factors, all of this craziness, all of this self-education and shedding of things that no longer apply to you right now, your mind can find a way to be at peace. Many layers all at once to compute. Process. That's all it is. That's enough for me. I hope you hear something in there that helps you. I hope you see something in all of this that makes all of your 'this' make sense. It is there. Always. You already know where to look. I hope the finale makes you smile It is a happy ending. Couldn't resist!

about

8 sonic time documents, gathered into |o|ne universe.

The process of reinvention can take a minute to figure out and years to put into motion, but here we go with trying to give it some momentum.

I feel these sonic attacks tell that story. The sub-text for each piece and how this works as a whole is ensconced in the unsung lyrics. They are notes to self primarily, but maybe some can apply and help you.

Sounds made between August 31st 2023 and January 29th 2024

After a major blockage in everything, resulting in severe pile-ups, debris, mess, confusion, all confidence death, delirium and resentment all over my creative world, a social media outburst about it that reset my brain, then some rest and introspection, I gifted myself a day to work on my own releases, to figure out how to change what felt a little stagnant, and it kickstarted Re:Work + |o|TM

Assembled and conceptualised March 4th to 18th 2024

Technically this is AN OWL IN THE NOISY SKY #7, but it is time to try something different with these collections or how some remix, compilations and orphan tracks are given settled homes inside my world. There will be others appearing individually on the right releases, or inspiring new albums as starting points.

These tracks all lived in the same block of flats for a long while, and seemed to get along, despite their multitude of differences, and their eventual coexistence brings me joy, so I now present it to you in a form that I think coherently works.

Thanks to Buddahat, whose nice message about the Ultra remix sent me on the track of thought to arrange 6 months of single trains, and two albums of Noisy Sky destined tracks. I truly appreciate that message sent at the perfect time, and it is amazing how sharing a thought about something can trigger action or hope beyond what you can imagine, so, tell people nice things. It really helps.

Part 8, which is part 2 of this set will follow soon...

Thanks to (in track order) LOUDsilence, Ultra, Emissaries Of Syn, Vermintide, Sonaura, Institute For Alien Research, Hard Return and tapewurm.fm for inspiring the origins of each of these tracks.
