False Indigeny

"Why should I worry about being thoughtful? What'll it get me? In this world, it's every man for himself."

The didjeridu is skilfully operated for this number, which also employs apparatus volte-faced, a trend commonly admired by the Van Credenza players.

Blackfish

Heavy metal, accompanied by the Van Credenza approach: best listened to via stereo headphones, Blackfish created vocal troubles to the group, but the final result is one of alliance and conformity.

I am the Blackfish
Cot Ta Wa Man Go
We are not buckeyes
On the Ohio

Cot Ta Wa Man Go
On the Scioto
Shawnee Kentucky
Up to Ohio

Flesh of our flesh now
Blood of our blood now
Bone of our bone now
Chalaka man now

You took our fine soil
You took our water
You took our clean sky
Blackfish took Callaway

Respect & honour,
He is our turtleback
Shawnee Scioto
No no no Cornstalk

Cot Ta Wa Man Go
Friend Moses Henry
Son Daniel Boone
I am the Blackfish

Central High Carnival

Here's visual and musical advice for making your part in the human courtship ritual as easy, fun, and successful as possible.

Malaria

Malaria

Van Credenza does not shy away from complicated or unfashionable issues. In some parts of the world, malaria is endemic: it is present every day, as a killer and debilitator.

24/7 is a distasteful idiom to Van Credenza. Thus to tackle the awkward topic of malaria, a piece was produced corresponding to and enduring for 247 seconds.

This is not easy listening.

Glasshouse

This Glasshouse aspires to combine a cosmopolitan fusion of inspirations from all over the world with a selection of flute related resonances. The flutes in this case are schooners, beakers and goblets. Kalimbas, likembes and mbiras compliment the standard ceramic and glass melodies.

Health, Posture, Cleanliness, Neatness

Fitness and vigour, coupled with a spirited deportment are keys to a happy life. Of course, sanitation and purity will also profit the individual, as will orderliness and a keen sense of organisation. Van Credenza sets a fine example.

Glamer

Glamer is an old Scottish word. It had two meanings. The first, ‘noise’ can be perfectly applied to this Van Credenza contribution. But a glamer is also the visual influence of a trinket or adornment, which can force people see things differently from what they are: to transmit a glamer is to cause visible trickery. Combining noise and trickery, Van Credenza moves back in time to an age of glitter rock.

Please note: after symposium with advisers, Van Credenza decided to remix this number exploiting additional drums and sirens.

Cartoon Rock

Cartoon Rock, Jukebox Rock....Glam Rock! Van Credenza has been freshly pondering over that particular field, with the intention of contemporising a style which all but disappeared 35 years ago. 35 years will become 50, and 50 then one hundred, a century, unless work is completed and sent out to the masses.

For this song, we've decided to make the video initially, and then match in the disposition of the music.

One song may be all it takes.

Java Cakes

There's a saying in Java: "It is our imperfections that make us perfect". The pelog style helps us understand this. This brings a very "iridescent" resonance to this piece, almost restless in quality. Damaged, yet something sounds true. This Indonesian style only exploits 7 notes, but has been combined here with standard scales on bass and guitar.

Knocking On

Repeated frustrations and disappointments are always a reflection of repeated misunderstandings and presumptions.
