Ladat's first cover ever. Taking well known Erik Satie's Gnossienne 1 and wrapped it in old fashion rock vibes. The result  is crossover of classical piano piece with classical rock mood.

In the Box

Rocking Gnossienne

Lively and energetic guitar rock about how it is when the love sailed into our lives.

Mixed and mastered by A7 Recording Studio (@a7-recording-studio, www.a7recordingstudio.com)
Produced by Blaž Pavšič

Is love a chance or a destiny? And how much do we choose the feelings we experiment? 
Some will say that romance feeds coincidences, and coincidences fuel romance, but this lively and energetic guitar based soft rock song takes the opposite view and explore the idea that love is mostly an accident - which by the way can hurt badly. 
One can not choose that event, but only his or her reaction to it. With a assumed amount of irony, those Czech lyrics invite us to consider that one cannot stop the waves, only learn to swim and go along, with more or less style: breaststroke, crawl, backstroke or butterfly… 
If you stop, you sink, so keep swimming! 
Or, maybe, by observing the waves rise and fail and never failing to rise again, you may lift yourself above them too, take place in a craft, pull out an umbrella to protect you from the splashes of two hearts which clash and wait… Wait for the ocean to stop being in love with the moon to finally rest.

Láska je náhoda

This release is a little different from my usual line, results from an obvious folk influence and turns around quite dreamy lyrics and romantic musical arrangement. The mood of this song is about allowing yourself to imagine another life, feel another world, transform one another and, by embarking this imaginary journey, actually just to be. A 3:15 minutes glimpse to a lifetime voyage towards an untethered soul…

Realizing this song brought me a very nice surprise in the form of a pleasant new collaboration. The lyrics required a female voice and I had difficulties finding the ethereal but not immaterial one I had in mind. The challenge persisted for a couple of weeks until I got in touch with Hana Pavšič - the talented Slovenian artist who covered this song with her beautiful voice and brought the extra touch to it, giving it this enchanted atmosphere I was after for this Magic spell.

Wily Pitz'23 is the retake of purist punky style single Willy Pitz from May 2020.
It makes its powerful comeback in September 2023.

In collaboration with the incredible talents of Slovenian Blaž Pavšič, Uroš Mohorič, and Gregor Alič we gave to Willy Pitz the completely new sound which makes one totally blew away and make your chin hits the floor.

The story remains the same - single living Swiss who is just trying to survive his live and one day he vanish without being noticed by anyone - but it is packed in new portion of energy where the punky essence of the original meets a whole new level of rock awesomeness.

Willy Pitz'23

This is dedicated to Abi. Abi is a young Mexican man who turned 18 on May 5th. He is a good friend/listener of mine.He'll be entering university in under a month. He's won numerous awards/placements in film/entrepreneurial competitions. A smart/kind/interesting young man with a bright future ahead of him if he continues to work hard and learn new things. He will most likely be a loyal/good boyfriend/husband aswell. I hope that he can listen to this song and instill a bit of confidence. "I'll be rolling on fumes of confidence still." One of your best friends is yourself and it really is better to have words of self empowerment from your most important ally. Abi will do above average in life and he has a bright future ahead of him. I hope that we can maybe work on a film together in the future where I can provide the score. When in self doubt, I hope he can return to my words here and remind himself that he is very much valued. Here's to Abi.

Nedělní výlet

Decided to just take a break and rely on feel for a song.

Drum editing/fills/Instrumental Mix: Blaz from @a7-recording-studio

Swept By All These Things

Tried some new things like a circle of 5ths progression with spread triads. Then a bridge in 7/4 and using pitch axis theory but with modes instead of common notes as the emphasis.

We'll Go Down

A song from Slovenian artist UX

Lyrics:

on te čaka, v temnem kotu ulice
v črni senci, na tebe preži
nora maska, nasmeh v očeh

prepriča jo, s šarmom besed,
v naslednjem dahu, strel v srce
ne bo je več, za njega pa eden več

oooo ooooo oooo killer!

v ušesih žrtev, odmeva zlovešči krik
srca ljudi, s strahom zdaj bijejo
en,dva,tri, četrti si lahko ti

Single

Killer

UX - Killer

I used polyrhythm with strings in triple meter and drums in simple meter for the verses. Just like that song  in 1975. More creative uses of this to follow. Also used a quartile chord found in ‘So What’. There’s a walking bass line and it is also the first to feature piano voicings that make for easier bass lines. 

Co production (cool sound effect in intro),drum editing, drum fills and instrumental mix from Blaz @a7-recording-studio

Lyrically, it is stream of consciousness with a few lines edited to rhyme. It was supposed to be about finding inner peace but I only ended up with one line about that. I am not tortured but someone else might be. Hope is a good thing. Not based on the novel with the same name as I have never read it.



I would like to thank my family (especially my parents and sister), Jinn (weren’t for her listening to the songs not sure I would have returned after a 1 year hiatus), my friends, the parents and students that I have taught (“I have been touched by your kids. And I'm pretty sure that I've touched them”), all of my teachers and the teachers for that compliment at Hulu (it’s an honor), and my listeners.

2 Quotes.
Past year has been busy with no days off. I’ve started jogging for 30 minutes and last year I finished Macroeconomics on Khan’s Academy. This year I’m onto Unit 8 of his Finance & Capital Course. I’ve gone on 2 week long business trips to Thailand and Malaysia. Since I am in this field I decided to see if I could pick up my mental maths. 

It reminds me of a quote that an Indian boy replied when asked, “what are your weaknesses?” at a job interview.

He replied, “I don’t have any weaknesses. My greatest asset is turning my weaknesses into my strengths.” 

For the longest time I thought it was a good reply but didn’t think it was possible. 
So I did some research online and all of the quant traders were using either rankyourbrain or zetamac. 
2 minute long sessions. Since rankyourbrain shut down I will only list my scores for zetamac. I began around the 40’s which was actually a ‘decent’ score by international standards.  I’d memorize the ones that I took a bit longer on and go over them daily.Then after about 20 minutes each day on both websites (2 sets of default zetamac questions) I started seeing improvement after 3 weeks. And now, I have a high score of 79 which puts me 12 points off from a rubiks cube whiz who posted his score on Youtube. If you had told me that I would be only 12 points off at the start I would have called it a miracle. Going from below average at something to above average. But, ‘miracles’ do happen like those Mexican teachers who rescue a whole class of failing students. And, there are guys who started off scoring 20’s on zetamac going on to score 90’s. And, a woman who is now a quant trader who bought elementary math books to work on. 

2 schools of thought.
“Take it easy man.”
“Sometimes the hardest thing to do and the right thing to do are often the same thing.” - Alfred

I think people don’t really pick one and live by it and its more of a mixture. So, I would encourage you to find something you think you’re bad at and work on it.
I know.
“Numbers isn’t my thing.”
I used to feel the same way. In the beginning you’ll experience frustration and disappointment. But confidence isn’t the lack of those thoughts but having those thoughts and still working through it. Keep at it and you will experience this feeling of joy that is usually not associated with maths. For only 4 mins a day. Free. A chance to see what your mind has tricked you into thinking you suck at. 

And when you do improve just remember that it is only mental maths, a very small portion of what maths actually is.



The other quote I really liked was:
“ I don't even care if they respect me. I know who I am. I've got enough respect for myself.”

An early Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all!

Special thanks to Glenn Sevillo for singing on this track. Friends are for all time!
Lyrical inspiration: Robbie
A pop song with a touch of Appalachia and a nod to The Turtles' "Happy Together".

Lyrics:
Weather’s been dreary, body is weary,
Now the heavy days are draggin’ on,
Feeling alone ‘cause your lover has gone off without you.
Wonderin’ will you feel an end to the chill and,
Now the doctor thinks that somethin’s wrong,
Lookin’ ahead makes you linger in bed with a dark view.

Just gimme a call before your pillow gets damper,
Abandon it all like a happy camper,
Share our song, you know we’ll never go wrong.
Here are tickets to the sunniest weather,
Pour a drink and we’ll wing it together,
We’ll be fine, ‘cause friends are for all time.

You know you feel off, you think you’re gettin’ a cough,
And your mood is sinkin’ lower by the day.
You’re bein’ dramatic, it’s psychosomatic, I’m quite sure.
The evening news is addin’ to your blues,			
‘Cause it tells you that the gloom is gonna stay,
Startin’ to cry and you’re wonderin’ why you see no cure.

Just gimme a call before your pillow gets damper,
Abandon it all like a happy camper,
Share our song, you know we’ll never go wrong.
Tickets to, the sunniest weather,
Pour a drink and we’ll wing it together,
Life is fine, ‘cause friends are for all time.

Oooh, oooh, now the sun is fillin’ up our days,
Oooh, oooh, driftin’ together in a multi-coloured haze.  Woh-ho-hoooo  
             
Instrumental with ba-ba-ba’s…

Oooh, oooh, now the sun is filling' up our days,
Oooh, oooh, floatin’ together in a multi-coloured haze.  Oh-ho-hoooo  

Just gimme a call before your pillow gets damper,
Abandon it all like a happy camper, 
Share our song, you know we’ll never go wrong.
Tickets to, the sunniest weather,
Pour a drink and we’ll wing it together,
Love is fine, but friends are for all time.
Love is fine, but friends are for all time.

Lyrics:

Got time, weather is fine,
Strollin’ on the pier beside the waters that shine.
Head high, mind in the sky,
Thinkin’ ‘bout a someone who could maybe walk by.

Feel elation, palpitations, beaming straight up to the sun
A flirtation, imagination, making it feel like a love has begun.
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)

Doo-doo’s

Inhalation, inebriation, someone just came into view.
Desperation, trepidation, will they walk by when they see that it’s you?
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)

Stop time, something sublime,
Movin’ from this moment now would feel like a crime,
Walked by, was that a blush?
And did you just imagine that casual touch?

Feel elation, palpitations, beaming straight up to the sun
A flirtation, imagination, making it feel like a love has begun.
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by?  
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)
