GHOST MONEY

This is a character sketch I just did as a representative of Melodics' track 'Ghost Money'... I will upload the lyrics to the song when I have finished polishing them. Peace

KISSHEAD

My beautiful partner, lover, muse and best friend Juleiaah Boehm is working on a nu solo music project called KISSHEAD…
This name comes from the strange place that we go together; a place that has given birth to love robots, shy dragons, troubled monkeys, aloof lions, kisshands and ... kissheads. My little sister believes this special place is called 4D (which is the title of the Melodics album) this may be true but I don't think we will ever know. Whatever this place is called it is the dimension that warms my soul and keeps me safe ... thank you sweet Juleiaah ... This artwork is of course dedicated to you ...
Enjoy

ANTHONY LISTER'S SUPERHERO SERIES

Superhero

As I mentioned in my last blog we have just created a track called 'Superhero'. I have written the lyrics about the concept of feeling like a superhero when you actually ain't; I know I have felt that way on many occasions resulting in a fizzled out body n brain. I was inspired by my love of comic art and Spider Man comics and so forth but also by the work of artist Anthony Lister. Lister had done a series of dope paintings that feature the likes of Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Wolverine and so on. I have chucked a few up so you can see how they have inspired me …

MELODICS BAR OPEN RESIDENCY

I created this poster design for Melodics a few weeks ago. I wanted to make something with that Punk/New Wave style: dirty, Poppy and striking. I teamed up with my sister Leila Koren on this one: she took the shots and I edited them up and layered colours and textures to create the vibe.

Nu Vibes from the Melodics HQ

Melodics have acquired a beautiful Head Quarters in Carlton which will now be fondly referred to as The HQ. The space is an ex-recording studio that went out of business presumably due to the shift from analogue to digital and is still decked out with dusty gear and old school energy. We have lugged our own gear in there and have been working on new material too many times a week; resulting in delirious concoctions and tensions – the outcome being some exciting sounds and songs.


The two newest songs are titled Weather Man and Superhero. The former is a banging, forceful electro number from the perspective of an angry weather man who is feeling the effects of continual criticism and guilt for either getting the weather wrong or having to read out potentially life-threatening climates n conditions. Superhero is a bouncy 80s-infused punk tune with a high-pitched chorus and some fat raps to balance it with the new school flavarinos.


Here are some of the lyrics:

‘Sometimes I act like I got a rocket pack on my back/
And I can fly and my identity is hidden/
And I feel like anything I do is right/
And I got the super-sight yes I got the X-ray Vision/
And I can save the world and I can take the girl/
The bad guy I grab and I hurl into the distance/
And in the mic check I flex my biceps/
Before I go I let em know that I’m a hero/’


So there be the first update from Le Melodics HQ …Will update some nu vibes soon. And some shots of the HQ.
Peace, Jeremedy
