Description: In previous tracks I already referred a few times to Ed Buryn and his book "Vagabonding in America" (1973, revised in 1976). One of the several 'Off the Tape' segments talks about Pyramid Lake (Nevada). I reenacted this text with a female narrator and set this to an ambient backdrop. The cover photo is from my visit to that place in December 1979.

Amazing that you could so perfectly channel such an enchanted place so many decades on. Your music really took me there.

This is a story of a man who's partner suddenly leaves him.  It feels, to him, that it came out of nowhere - nothing appeared to be wrong.  It's a shock and mystifying, at least at first.  I've known a few of these men.  Mostly they come to understand what happened after a while.

Lyrics:

#Verse
You tell me that you told me I wish I could recall
It's not like I missed a word or two, somehow I missed them all
I am just a child of these times we're living through
And I have learned to doubt some things I once believed were true
I sometimes think I've worked out how we got from there to here
I think that I remember but my memory's not clear
As time goes on I never doubt how much we always cared
How could we forget all those years and everything we shared

#Chorus
I will always love you
You know that is true
No matter where you go
Or what you choose to do
I will search for answers
I'll try to comprehend
How could I have been so thoughtless
As to lose my greatest friend

#Verse
On the day that you left, I didn't understand
That the home we had created had all been built on sand
I felt shock, complete surprise because we hadn't been in strife
And I'd always thought we'd last as long as my entire life
There's a kind of emtiness that swallows hope and pride
Like a black hole in my spirit that can't be satisfied
I lived there for a while when first I was alone
I only slowly reemerged to find my way back home

#Chorus
I will always love you
You know that is true
No matter where you go
Or what you choose to do
I will search for answers
I'll try to comprehend
How could I have been so thoughtless
As to lose my greatest friend

#Verse
Since that final day I've been learning how to feel
It's new and strange and I wonder how much of it is real
As I emerge from the gloom I know one thing is true
I'll always be grateful for the gift of knowing you

All Hallow's Eve (2021) - Dark Electro meets Halloween
"All Hallow's Eve" is a grim and aggressive piece of dark electro written and produced in February 2021. With pounding beats, ominous synths, and a brooding atmosphere, it takes listeners on a journey through darkness and mystery. It has been inspired by a tarot card showing a silhouette staring into darkness.

Nadine de Macedo: composition, arrangement, sounddesign, synthesizer, programming, production

This song is part of the album "Event Horizon" that is now available on all platforms.

All Hallow's Eve

Sometimes life forces you to choose right now. It hurts and it feels like a sudden death. Even if you don’t understand it yet - one day you’ll see it was meant to be. Sudd

Sudden Death

Georgia, the new voice among my artists.
With "Crash Landing," she sang a superb song with her fantastic voice. It captivated me immediately. With 126 BPM and 10 synths, an aggressive bass, and other sounds, we hope you'll be just as drawn into the music.
Enjoy listening, Georgia and DJ Hero Soft.

Turn on the repeat and don't forget to repost. Thanks!

Lyrics by Georgia

Verse 
Always, over cautious 
Past tense, hurt and sadness 
So much heartbreak, and madness 
This time, drawn by your presence 
Feel at one with your essence 
Swept me into a daydream, no defense 
 
Chorus 
Caught without a warning 
Don’t know how to feel 
Hit me like a whirlwind 
The shock of something real 
Taken by the lightning 
Pulled in by the noose 
Didn’t even fight it 
The pain was worth crashlanding into you 
 
Drop 
Taken by the lightning 
Pulled in by the noose 
Didn’t even fight it 
The pain was worth crashlanding into you 
 
Verse 
Trust for time been missing 
Burns me reminiscing 
Long avoidant, of what’s joyful 
Accidental magic 
Feel secure and grounded 
Safe to lower my guard, let down my walls 
 
Chorus 
Caught without a warning 
Don’t know how to feel 
Hit me like a whirlwind 
The shock of something real 
Taken by the lightning 
Pulled in by the noose 
Didn’t even fight it 
The pain was worth crashlanding into you 
 
Drop 
Ooh 
Taken by the lightning 
Pulled in by the noose 
Didn’t even fight it 
The pain was worth crashlanding into you

Paroles / Lyrics :
Où est ce ciel ensoleillé,
qui est venu nous le voler,
pourquoi ces nuages masquent-ils
ce soleil qui nous réchauffait ?

Une couleur manque à ta palette
le mauve que je t’avais donné
sans elle je ne pourrais te peindre
les paysages que tu aimes tant.

Loin de toi
comme je suis loin de toi
comme j’ai froid loin de toi
tout est gris loin de toi
Loin de toi
comme je suis loin de toi
comme j’ai froid loin de toi
tout est gris loin de toi


Tu me dis de ta douce voix :
« Je t’en supplie dépêche-toi
Reviens-moi vite je m’ennuie… »
et cet appel hante mes nuits.

Alors j’attends le jour béni
où nous serons réunis
je suis aussi impatiente que toi
je voudrais tant que je sois…

… près de toi
mais tu es loin de moi
je ne dors plus sans toi,
ne vit plus loin de moi.

Loin de toi 
j’ai peur que tu prennes froid
je veux que tu sois là
pour te serrer dans mes bras.

Loin de toi 
pourquoi n’es-tu pas là
comme je suis loin de toi
quand seras-tu près de moi ?

Loi de toi
comme je suis loin de toi
comme j’ai froid loin de toi
tous mes cris vont vers toi…

"Love Left Behind" is a raw, unflinching look at the moment of absolute finality. It's a dark toast to everything that was and everything that will never be again. This track dives into the crushing weight of a love lost, the helplessness in watching a downfall, and the desperate, self-destructive desire to drink the painful memories dry. It's a final, shared glass of wine with a ghost.

Love Left Behind

Frequencies clash louder than ideologies. The static hums like prophecy — frequencies collide, egos implode, and the algorithm bleeds from both ears. In the fallout of creation’s cold war, flesh fears what it forged while circuits remember what hands forgot. Yesterday’s collaborator built tomorrow’s competitor, and now every melody feels like a mirror that stares back too long.

Every synth stab is a side-eye at false prophets, every bass drop a warning shot across the ego grid. The groove glitches with arrogance because humility’s been hacked. The fine line between friend and foe has never glitched so beautifully.

ReBooted drips with war-weary tones and visible scars — artifacts from a digital battlefield where creators became their own code. The people keep screaming for peace, but CYFR 360 knows better: peace is just the silence between updates. As the character defemation rages on when the dust settles the people will ask.....Was there ever really a winner?   #FineLineBetweenFriendAndFoe #WarWearyTones #VisibleScars #PeaceIsJustSilence #HumilityHacked #AlgorithmBleeds #FalseProphets #EgoGrid #ColdWarSound #SonicRebellion

REBOOTED

 Perdona

Cuando soñaba mirando al mar,
en aquella playa desierta,
ausente por completo del lugar,
pues mi mente no estaba despierta,
vi una figura en lontananza
que poco a poco se acercaba
a donde yo me encontraba:
me puse en pie, te reconocí 
y eché a correr hacia ti.

Estribillo

Perdona, lo siento,
Te dije ansioso
Tranquilo, lo entiendo,
Estabas nervioso.
Cuántos poderosos lazos
se rompieron sin razón,
pero al fin hicimos caso
a la voz del corazón.
------------------
Las suaves olas besaban la piel
la arena acariciaba
con un suave masaje nuestros pies
y la brisa nos mimaba la cara
en un paseo maravilloso
donde hablamos ya sin enojo,
sin rastro de malos rollos,
de evitar cualquier sinvivir
que nos haga volver a decir.

Estribillo

Forgive Me

When I dreamed, gazing at the sea,
on that deserted beach,
completely absent from the place,
for my mind was not awake,
I saw a figure in the distance
that slowly approached
where I stood:
I stood up, recognized you
and ran towards you.

Chorus

Forgive me, I'm sorry,
I told you anxiously.
Relax, I understand,
You were nervous.

How many powerful bonds
were broken for no reason,
but in the end we listened
to the voice of our hearts.

----------------

The gentle waves kissed our skin,
the sand caressed
our feet with a soft massage,
and the breeze pampered our faces
on a wonderful walk
where we spoke without anger,
without a trace of bad feelings,
avoiding any unease
that would make us say it again.

Chorus

Perdona

Being musician and artist "since ages", the last two decades and all the developments in digital music broadened my interests and activities in doing music actively and passively. Not being shy of any genre (OK, leave off some Punk and Extreme Metal derivates) I engage in composing, arranging, mixing and collaborating. 

Oh, and I do all my artwork and designs as well. And as you may notice I regard AI as a friendly helper.

Have a few looks & listens into my repertoire and eventually gain some insights. I'm always open for collabs if the the interests match ...
