Elegy (The Sleep of Reason)

Mi pequeña María

Al llegar el día
yo no me iría
pero tengo que marchar;
el verano ya pasó
el descanso terminó
y es hora de regresar.

No te pongas triste
que razón no existe
no tienes por qué llorar;
nuestro idilio sigue intacto
seguiremos en contacto
mantendremos nuestra amistad.

Estribillo

Oh, mi pequeña María,
faro que nunca se irá,
oh, mi pequeña María,
mi norte, mi eternidad.
No cierres nunca tus alas,
y vuela en libertad,
no cierres nunca tus alas,
y siempre me encontrarás.
-------------------
Sé que la distancia
pide confianza
y amar sin vacilar
pues las dudas suelen ser
arañazos que se ven
si la fe se empieza a quebrar.

Aunque pasa el tiempo
noto lo que siento
no tengo por qué dudar
que venciendo nuestros miedos
compartiendo nuestros sueños
lograremos la estabilidad.

Estribillo

My little Maria

When the day comes,
I wouldn't leave,
but I have to go;
summer is over,
break is over,
and it's time to return.

Don't be sad,
because there's no reason,
you have no reason to cry;
our love affair remains intact,
we'll stay in touch,
we'll maintain our friendship.

Chorus

Oh, my little Maria,
beacon that will never leave,
oh, my little Maria,
my north, my eternity.
Never close your wings,
and fly free,
never close your wings,
and you'll always find me.
-------------------
I know that distance
requires trust
and to love without hesitation,
because doubts are usually
scratches that can be seen
if faith begins to break.

Although time passes,
I notice what I feel,
I have no reason to doubt,
that by overcoming our fears,
sharing our dreams,
we will achieve stability.

Chorus

Mi pequeña María

Another of my old tracks with vocals added!

Floating in Space

Your gravity keeps pulling me in
Nothing to lose all to win
My head is in an endless spin
With you my love is just all-in

With you I am floating in space 
Relaxing in the joy of your face 
I’m lost I’m found in your embrace 
With you I am floating in space 

Your eyes are moons pulling my tide 
Trapping me as they open wide
Every word you say is a starry light
Entrancing me as I hold you tight

No oxygen no air to breathe 
Your love’s the atmosphere I need 

Your gravity keeps pulling me in
Nothing to lose all to win
My head is in an endless spin
With you my love is just all-in

With you I am floating in space 
Relaxing in the joy of your face 
I’m lost I’m found in your embrace 
With you I am floating in space 

We blaze our path through the constant void 
Not looking to see what we might have destroyed 
But in the chaos I feel at home 
With you I’m never alone

Your eyes are moons pulling my tide 
Trapping me as they open wide
Every word you say is a starry light
Entrancing me as I hold you tight

No oxygen no air to breathe 
Your love’s the atmosphere I need

Nouvel enregistrement d’un morceau datant de mes débuts pianistiques. Et ça m’émeut un peu

Envolée

A late-night dark R&B moment where jealousy, desire, and numb coping blur together. Torn between letting go and holding on, “Care Less” captures that toxic tenderness scrolling, overthinking, drinking, and wishing the pain felt mutual. Vulnerable, addictive, and beautifully self-aware.

Tasha - Care Less (V2)

Welcome to the island. 🌴

This track, "My Thing," is the ultimate anthem for radical self-ownership. It’s a modern R&B groove that sounds like freedom, but feels deep like a late-night thought.

It’s the sound of looking back at the traditional paths, the "endless years of stereo monogamy'', and confidently choosing the road less traveled. It's about enjoying the quiet solitude of your own space ("my private island") and making zero apologies for it.

The lyrics dive into that moment of blissful independence: no one to answer to, no one to blame, just the floor turned up and the vibe set by you, for you. While there's a quick moment of realizing "all of them are gone," the V2 is clear: this choice is empowering.

This isn't just about being alone; it's about being profoundly free.

Hit play, turn up your space, and get down deep into your own thing.

Tasha - My Thing

- PROLLY THE BEST -

A song about the very best of friends!

All songwriting, lyrics, instrumentals, production, mix and master by me
Vocals: Eric Castiglia

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

Verse 1
Old stars hum beneath the clay
Lanterns swing where shadows stay  
Silent roads still breathe  

Footprints fade yet keep their song  
Echoes bend through plaster walls
Shadows keep the room

Coffee rings tattoo the oak
Old fires fade, but warmth will stay 
Memory moves slow

Chorus
You’re prolly the best,
the solid, the stone.
Prolly the best 
Yeah
keeping me whole.
Let the bridges burn.
Hey - Call this a home.
We’re prolly the best.     
Yeah prolly the best   

Verse 2
Ash and ember, quiet spun,
Days collapse into the sun 
Stillness holds the line.

Dust turns gold when time grows thin,
Silver roots keep pulling in  
Nothing drifts away.

Kitchen window, evening glass,
Waiting out the storm to pass  
Holding what won’t go

Chorus
You’re prolly the best,
the solid, the stone.
Prolly the best 
Yeah
keeping me whole.
Let the bridges burn.
Hey - Call this a home.
We’re prolly the best.
Yeah prolly the best  
We are the crew - that shows at 3am
we hold the line - stitched tight like glue  

**Ending** 
Under all this hush I know 
we are the pulse below
Through the quiet, through the storm 
Break the grip, keep the scars 
Prolly the best Yeah… 
prolly the best
prolly the best
prolly the best 
prolly!
The best!

Prolly the Best

ORPHEUS VECTOR tears into the heart of the digital age with "Machine Spirit Downfall." A brutal blend of industrial aggression and signature nu-metal groove, this track is a suffocating descent into mechanical decay and psychological chaos. Featuring colossal, detuned 7-string guitar chugs, thunderous double-kick drumming, and raw, panicked vocals that shift between screams and unsettling whispers. Listen for the heavy bass slides and the oppressive, oil-slick atmosphere. This is the soundtrack to society's inevitable breakdown.

MACHINE SPIRIT DOWNFALL

Fröhlich soll mein Herze springen
Dieser Zeit, da vor Freud'
Alle Engel singen.
Hört, hört, wie mit vollen Chören
Alle Luft laute ruft:
Christus ist geboren!...


Weihnachten 2025

Fröhlich soll mein Herze springen

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 ...
