I looked up images of leaf development and used those as inspiration to improvise on the piano. I shaped the recorded midi track to make into a piece.

Leaflet improv/mptu (disquiet0580)

I’m constantly in a state of searching…it’s almost incessant, this cycle that creates my music.  It’s become so second nature to me, but it still takes me by surprise…it hangs me out to dry, every time! 

Alongside happiness and settling into my two homes, lives excitement and intensity, and huge dollops of existential angst.  We are here and then gone…it never makes sense. I’m constantly confused as to why…and why all this music?  

I am meeting new energies head on, I refuse to hide and hold my head up as I bare myself…how painfully intense to just lay bare the soul, the heart of what we are…what we desire…

This music is born of this baring…and I make it so I can dance within it…it is my atmosphere, when everything else makes no sense, the music allows me to breathe…to understand something about life and the invisible entity that we are. In spirit we arrive, inspirited and inspired we live, out of body we die, but our spirit lives on forever…

From this day, the day of this musics’ birth (June 26, 2023, my spirit will live within this music forever…I need not worry where my spirit will go when my body dies.

Thank you JC 🥰, I and E 💕

The Soul's Rainy Night

The Soul's Rainy Night (NaviarHaiku510)

Ambient/New age track for meditation. Technically I have used a minimalistic approach. A midi file is generated with a NodeJS/Typescript application I have written, rendered with timidity and mixed with audacity on very old laptop running puppy Linux. I have added two nature sound layers. All the rest comes from the generated midi file. Enjoy.

Meditation Three

dark clouds menacing
– I doubt we shall reach shelter

Haiku by Raymond Cobley https://soundcloud.com/ray_cobley

The basis of this track is a recording of a thunderstorm made a couple of months back. The rhythm tracks are generated solely from that storm recording and you can hear the original sounds of thunder and rain in the background, throughout the track. Enjoy!

Echoes From The Arches

Call Me

Animal Instincts

Running From The Doom

Lyrics:

[chorus]
This ain't for the black mirror, this ain't for the screen,
This a real-life movie, every single scene.
They just see the highlights, nothin' in between,
Built it on my own, gotta keep my circle clean.

It ain't a matter of whether or not I got it,
It's how deep is the knot that's sittin' in my pocket.
Money so long it got rotten,
Ever seen a little turn to a lot and?

Wood grain wheel that I'm grippin' is a foreign breed,
I might take a job across the foreign seas.
Satisfy my hunger, never satisfy my greed,
Lifestyle, not a status on a black mirror screen.

Used to pray for moments like this, now it's a daily scene,
Lose the focus and it's gone like it was barely seen.
So I move in silence, let the work make the sound…
One deep, that's me—the real's dead, it's only fakes and clowns.

Turn a little to a lot, then it's overseas,
New levels, new devils, a whole new set of keys.
Gotta feed the hunger, put my mind at ease,
Yeah, this the life I lead by my own decrees.

[chorus]
This ain't for the black mirror, this ain't for the screen,
This a real-life movie, every single scene.
They just see the highlights, nothin' in between,
Built it on my own, gotta keep my circle clean.
