Nice classical fusion, creative approach of traditional and electric sounds. Enjoyed!

Nice chords and alternation of parts, situations, I would say complentary, there is a certain austere mood, good work...

This is my new album in collaboration with my talented SoundCloud friend Roberto B (@mgxloop and @volt5000). We decided to keep it exclusively and freely available here on SoundCloud under the title of “Double Reflections". The album contains 14 tracks, ordered chronologically, and also fitting conceptually. Its duration is 1 hour and 38 minutes. The album was composed, recorded and mixed in MAGIX (by Roberto B) and GarageBand iOS and Logic Pro X (by Alex M) between 28 April 2021 (the 1st-ordered track) and 11 June 2021 (the last-ordered track). It was released on SoundCloud on 20 June 2021.

The artwork cover for the album, that has also been used for all its constituent tracks, is our own, cropped and annotated by Alex M (in Mac OS Preview) on 29 April 2021.

We hope you'll enjoy the blend of our musical ideas in such an "electro-classical" genre!

Thank you immensely, Roberto, for the inspiration and joy in composing together our "Double Reflections" album - only in the course of about a month, intensely and committedly!

Double Reflections - Roberto B & Alex M

watch me play this song live on the piano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP1tRu4sbKw
ooo crazy me again I find what I want and just set it free
you say go out enjoy have fun and live a little please
and don't come back until you're socially up to speed
A cold world a thirsting need
Can't set your mind on how to acquire your riches and fulfillment spiritually 
I walk alone window shopping lifting down a dead end street
Just empty shelves victims of a local access world where people speak but very seldom meet in such a false reality 
how's it gonna be when I can't even find myself got no direction only see my best in your reflection I know all I'm gonna see with out you's misery
That's why I hold you to blame, I hold you to blame, I'm going insane 
I lost heart a faithful soul
as she described her idea of a perfect mate I recognized like someone I know
and now I don't really feel like dying I don't even want to go home
I think I finally found somebody think I finally found someone who finally found me

This Day   -    Lyrics by Alan Davis

I could see it spin,
I could see it take a turn,
I could see it not working out right,
It was hard to tell,

What happened to the day...?
It started out by raining, 
Then the clouds fell away,
Open up your eyes to see me, standing...
In an energetic way,

I could see it in...
The way the rays shone golden and burst on...
Through.. Oh so good... This day... This day,

I could see it in...
Your eyes, took a turn,
I could see it very clearly, looking well...?
It was hard to tell...

What happened on that day...?
It started out restraining,
Then and it eased to serenade,
Open up your eyes to see me, smiling... 
Here for you today!

Double Reflection XII - Roberto B & Alex M

between the lines

A lot is happening in my life at this moment. Sometimes for me music is a way to escape all the stuff, that makes life complicated. I started working on this new ep and had a lot of emotions and thoughts, which were in need of some form of expression. I really hope you like my compositions, because I put a lot of love, time and work into these. From writing to playing the tracks in a recording environment - I did everything on my own! :) 

Special thanks to DSN Audiprodukion for recording me in his studio, mixing and mastering!

What do you feel when you hear this music?

Seeing My First Laboratory

WRITING A LOVE LETTER

I have always admired music, of diverse styles. Like most of us, I have tried learning to play a few instruments at a basic level in my teenage. But it is only now, in the 21st century, that modern software allows anyone to fool around being the composer, the designer of a whole composition, simpler or more complex, organising together the parts of the various instruments - and to hear the results of this experimentation or inspiration instantly! That is how I have recently begun enjoying the distraction of attempts at composing during my leisure, discovering an amazing dimension of life, and art, perhaps the most intangible, heightening and hypnotising one, and the closest to the soul... (21 August 2017) ... Forgot to mention: music is for sharing - that's why we are all here! (4 September 2017)
