Empty (Edit) - The Carbon Manual

The Carbon Manual is a new Bristol-based sound poetry trio combining the talents of Iain Weir (guitars, machines and music), Clifford Gee (bass and music) and Jeremy Gluck (words and voice) into a sound music that pierces the soul and psyche.

Formed after a chance meeting between Weir, Gee and Gluck when the latter had been performing, The Carbon Manual had its genesis in an informal intention to create one song together. Due to the instant and innovative nature of the work produced led to what is now the makings of a strong debut album combining intense spoken word with organic rock mantra into a unusual and penetrating sound.

Featuring ex-Bararcudas Jeremy Gluck, whose career with the band created a legend that has since spawned critically-acclaimed solo work, and the core duo Weir and Gee, accomplished journeymen of the garage-psych scene, The Carbon Manual is no ordinary proposition, with exceptional words wed to hypnotic barrages of music and unpredictable beats.

The Carbon Manual intend now to take their touchy-feely soundscape live and are looking for venues prepared for an art-based, poetry and music project that will liberate audiences from expectations and cynicism.
lyrics
Feeling so simple
I am so quiet
Where am I?
Who am I?

Moving in this room
But without motion
An absence with legs
That leaves no tracks

Inside me I see you
And call without sound
To nobody listening.
I feel so empty

Knowing the clock in my blood
That keeps time by my pulse
That ticks with my steps
Waits for the dark
And prays to sleep
That misses your touch.
