Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"

In The Naked Light[with lyrics from Paul Simon]

I added a little bit classical guitar, not to tight into his music all the time, just to make it a bit more odd but hopefully not to much. 
I left some space in there for further implementation of more sounds and stuff if someone wants to.
To my friend Milan Mastalka - the sound of the late hours himself.

Frihet Er Livsgleden - Den Gir Vi Aldri Bort

Late evening, sunlight is fading for the day. I reworked the Rhodes-pad om the D70 to get it a bit more like I want it. Better, not finished but better.
Gear: Roland D70 + a distant sound from the Roland Gaia. Live.

Skumring

This track may have set a milestone for me, its raw and could need some more versions to it before presenting it, but I feel this marks a milestone for me.
Roland D70+Roland Gaia for melody.
BARP2600 Lead synth.

Patches on the two Rolands are my own patches. The Gaia is virtual analog so its easy to work with, the D70 is diving into menues, but once you have learned it, it's no big deal. The BARP2600 is 100% analog so of course the sound is created by my own settings.

On the field

From Marco/Naviar Records:
Given the success of our previous challenge, I decided to share another haiku by 20th century poet Ozaki Hōsai.
Hōsai graduated from the Tokyo Imperial University, where he studied law. He got off to a good start but decided to give up his home, family, and business to jump from one militant religion of Japan to the other.
Just like Taneda Santoka, Hōsai abandoned the traditional verse form of his time and mostly looked at the austere confines of his life for inspiration.

Made with my Korg SQ-64 and the Roland D70.
Recorded/played 64 step sequence which I speed up a bit and manipulates while replaying it with the sequencer, added delay to give it even more life.

Captus In Cogitationibus

Today its 2 years since russias full scale invasion in Ukraine. Two years since the terrorist country russia tried to make Ukraine bend their knees for russia. Ukraine fighted back and threw russia out of Kyiv, out of most of the parts they took in the first weeks of the full scale war. 
 I support the people of Ukraine with all my heart, I pity those who excuse russia and russians. This isnt just putins war, this is the whole of russias war. The few that is against it, is outnumbered many times. #SLAVA_UKRAINI! Go out and show your support for Ukraine today!
And Putin...GO FUCK YOURSELF!

People who follows me who supports russia, who supports putin, I have one thing to say, just go fuck yourself.

A part of me lives in the seventies, even if I was just a small fart back then. In some way I felt the world was better then, people was looking forward, education, evolution and the future. Now people seams to seek towards the middle ages, what happened to the dreams? 
 We used to meet, a couple of friends. We mainly sat down, played music and didn't say many words, just listened to the music and felt the world was a great place. Maybe some of my best memories.

Poem "The Rainy Day" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

The Rainy Day

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.

My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.

Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

TheAbsence.

My account is resting. Only occasionally posting or managing the account. I'll be back! 
 Keep the world a sane place and thanks for listening!

And...Putin, go fuck yourself!!!
