Online: Down In A Wormhole (2018)

“Time loops have a significant impact on the principle of causality. On the relationship of cause and effect. As long as a wormhole exists, there is a closed time loop. Inside it, everything is mutually dependent. The past doesn’t just influence the future. The future also influences the past. It’s like the question of the chicken and the egg. We can no longer say which of the two came first. Everything is interconnected.” From “Dark” (Netflix, 2017)

Pour les curieux que cela intéresserait, ma thèse de Master in Composition & Theory est accessible ci-dessous. J’y parle de la liminalité dans la composition contemporaine ainsi que dans ma propre pratique de compositeur.

Happy Christmas your arse, I pray god it’s our last!

by timmy.schenk

In terms of religion, Christmas doesn’t mean a lot to me. But regarding poetry and music it’s the day one of the most inspiring artist I know was born. Spend my teens listening to his songs, and they gave me the love for words and melodies, a love that will remain etched on my soul for ever.

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won’t see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I’ve got a feeling
This year’s for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They’ve got cars big as bars
They’ve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It’s no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing “Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You’re a bum
You’re a punk
You’re an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it’s our last

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing “Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can’t make it all alone
I’ve built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing “Galway Bay”
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas day

Rock Pole

by timmy.schenk

Back in January 2015 as we released “Money” by Taken By Storm, video by Jason Sereftug.
“I can feel it deep inside you
Sucking your brain again and again
You’re heart is made of gold that’s true
And this matter makes you insane”
