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!

Ambiguity

rabbit holes 

These are the facts 
Not rabbit holes 
What distracted your head,
Your heart, your soul ?
Can you deny
Your ears and eyes ?
Can you refute
The truth we lived , my friend ?

And they sing
A different tune 
With empty orange words as proof 
Hoping memories will fade
As they split the world
Between us

And they teach
Another lie
And they preach
Your fears on high

And they say
The only way
Is down this rabbit hole 
Come follow me 

    I’ve got breaking news 
    History will not be kind 
    Am I watching the wrong 
    Channels for you ?

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)
