My two chords song =)

===============================================

Porque as canções precisam ser longas e complicadas?
Letras, acordes, progressões, tão elaboradas

Vozes, batidas, harmonias
Rimas, acordes, melodias
AABA, verso, pré, refrão
E a ponte

O que buscas quando complica?
Prefiro o que permanece quando simplifica

Porque as pessoas precisam ser tão complicadas?
Egos, razões e desculpas tão elaboradas

Carro, sapato, penteado
Perfume importado
Papel cumprido e status
Com o coração abandonado

O que buscas quando complica?
Prefiro o que permanece quando simplifica

=============================================

Why do songs have to be so long and complicated?
Lyrics, chords, progressions, so elaborate

Voices, beats, harmonies
Rhymes, chords, melodies
AABA, verse, pre, chorus
And the bridge

What do you look for when you complicate?
I prefer what remains when you simplify

Why do people have to be so complicated?
Egos, reasons and excuses so elaborate

Car, shoes, hairstyle
Imported perfume
Role fulfilled and status
With the heart abandoned

What do you look for when you complicate?
I prefer what remains when you simplify

Christiane Hommelsheim sings and plays on sound objects, Ralf Haarmann electronics and mandoline. With a central interest in loops, they create intertwined acoustic layers. Through the looper all sounds loose their corporality, they resolve within themselves, they appear and
disappear, they become soundfields, and soundshadows. Ocassionally a sentences might appear out of nowhere, and lingers unfinished in the space, like a piece of thought-furniture, that might develop within the ear of the listener before it retreats back out of focus. HAARMANNHOMMELSHEIM create poetics of absence, poetics of nothing.

Adventures in Music. Let the music do the talking, and take you to another place.

Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun.
Most of my recordings (made with a KorgD8, Audacity, and more recently Reaper for MIDI and the Spitfire Audio libraries) are entirely homemade and decidedly imperfect.
My music includes old songs (all written back in the last century; here I’ve only shared the ones I’ve reworked in recent years) as well as both old and new instrumentals — usually in several versions, some of which eventually disappear because they’re simply unlistenable.

Thanks for stopping by and giving something a listen; in the description you’ll often find explanatory notes or translations of the lyrics.
Here I’ve discovered a community of talented musicians and songwriters, and plenty of beautiful music to enjoy. Whenever I like, comment, or repost a track, it’s always the result of attentive listening. For the same reason, I’m not interested in trading empty “likes” without real engagement, and I won’t reply to messages from would-be promoters — follower counts don’t matter to me in the slightest.

Update (2024, September 9). Completed the "AI & (fake) songwriting project". Here: https://soundcloud.com/mick-hansan 

P.S.: A prayer, a humble request to those who publish songs: use the description area to make the lyrics available... This would make listening to them more complete and enjoyable!

I've posted some 'live' homemade performance here: https://www.instagram.com/michele_ansani/
