Calm & Steady series

- short tracks of dance music

All tracks were uploaded between 02/2021 and 04/2021, mostly in the last 30 days, with the following older exceptions:
. . - Buma Buma"Dirk took the Dim 7"(#20): 3 years,
. . - P. Heckmann (.| Vocalatti | A. Weiß | J. Stohwasser)"(#10): 12 - 23 months.

The other series (short tracks) so far are:
- "Hard-Fast-or-Nasty" (more intense/abrasive)
- "MiddleLane", and "Superdance" (the middle, or ambivalence)
- "Funky-Dub-Trap" (terminology conundrum)
- "Fantaisies" (for professional dancers only)
- "Minimal"
- "Dark"
- "BreakB-Jungle-DnB"

There is little overlap between them, mostly between: *
. . A) MiddleLane, Superdance
and
. . B) all other series

* Increasingly there is some overlap between "Calm & Steady" and "Funky-Dub-Trap", and between a bunch of others (Dark, Minimal, ...). I'm trying to keep it to the minimum, the overlap, tracks finding themselves in more than one playlist

Dearest friends,

Maybe you know that we created a workshop program in Senegal.

This time all earnings will be used to support poor families in Senegal. While our journeys to Dakar we realised that there is a need to help the disadvantaged families - single mothers with small children. For this reason we founded a local NGO name „Mbolo Moy Dolé“ which means „together we are strong“. The local Managers of this Committee are people we know and trust so we can guarantee that
the donations won’t be wasted for administration but will be directly used to buy food. It will be brought to this families every month.
Actually we are supplying 5 families with food every month!

We have to thank Thias Raun for this great work and donating this track for our projects 💖

Thias Raun - Love In Translation | Freetrack

This is a remake of the song "Triumphant" from Jan Schonander, which he released half a year ago on his site at:
https://soundcloud.com/thegats/triumphant
We both thought, that a small portion of guitar and bass would not harm and I thank Jan to trust me to determine the guitar and bass dose finally :-)

If you like this one, I am sure you will also like a further remake we had created a while ago, which had a similar receipt:

Lyrics:
TRIUMPHANT

We can be triumphant
You can be triumphant
We can beat the odds
We can breathe through it

I can be triumphant
I can see the end
I can see all the people
I can feel the love
Feel the love

From start to end
From way down under
Through all the seasons
From doom and gloom to doom and gloom
Such a long summer
Oh it’s been such a bummer
Over the oceans
I feel the love

We can be triumphant
You can be triumphant
We can beat the odds
We can breathe through it

It’s so beautiful
Brothers and sisters
You’re so beautiful
We walk together

From east to west
Far from our best
From the great wall
To the depths of the canyon
Wave after wave
An endless cycle
We walk together
6 ft apart, 6 ft apart
I couldn’t feel number
And it’s still such a bummer
Deep in your eyes
I feel the love

We can be triumphant
You can be triumphant
We can beat the odds
We can breathe through it

I can be triumphant
I can see the end
I can see all the people
I can feel the love

Triumphant

Fantasy - A Glimpse

Gatum

The song was completed for two consecutive days. This is due to the fact that I exchanged emails with my online friends about music and video. When I made it with the faint TV drama scene in my memory in mind, this song was completed.
In Japanese dramas, the characters often end without clearly expressing their compassion for each other. Even in such a drama, the electro music that we made this time plays a role in telling that the hearts of the people are attracted to each other. It's a troublesome culture.

The Crab Nebula
June 2022
Duration: 3:00
Listen to the Cosmic Soundscapes Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/cosmic-soundscapes
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus. A supernova remnant is the structure resulting from the explosion of a star.  The bright light from the supernova explosion that formed the Crab Nebula was observed by Chinese, Japanese, and Arab astronomers in 1054 A.D. The light has since faded and the Crab Nebula is no longer visible without a telescope.  The name comes from William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse, who observed the object in 1842 using a 36-inch telescope.  Lord Rosse named the nebula the "Crab" in 1844 because its tentacle-like structure resembled the legs of the crustacean.

Vocals:  Azuriah from Ghosthack www.Ghosthack.de
Lyrics:
Verse One 
Pathsways that had led us here
Were not the ones we followed
For a lady who has lost her way 
Cause I have searched around
Pre Chorus
Cold long nights and windy days
This journey has no ending
When this trip was starting new
We were promised a happy ending.
Chorus
Now we’re singing oh…. Lost souls now(x2)
Verse Two
Reaching forward towards the sun
The light at the end of the tunnel
No one but ourselves to blame
It’s not like we blame each other.

An original idea by Jan Schonander

I was never satisfied with the final mix and master of this track from over 3 years ago. Having learned a few tricks of the trade I revisited the mix and made quite a few changes involving selective limiting on some stems, saturation, upwards compression, cleaning up the drums, rebalancing of some of the levels, fixing the vocals, eliminating a superfluous synth and probably more that I can't remember. I decided to relaunch the track as I think there is a huge difference.

A rueful look back at what might have been.....if only.

IF ONLY

If only you could see through my eyes
If only I could find just one more way
If only we could go back in time
If the two of us didn’t feel so lonely
If only could be sublime

And I will never forget
I remember your tender embrace
I miss gazing into your eyes
I miss hearing your laughter
Seeing your smile
Feeling your love 

And yet
There’s so much more
Why I walked out that door
I can’t ever forget
Lying on my back 
On a cold floor

If only you’d never got mad
If only you hadn’t made me sad
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

If we could get back to just having fun
If everything could be undone
If we could live on regret
If the two of us, had never met
If no-one had to run

If only you’d never got mad
If only you hadn’t made me sad
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

I pray from Monday to Sunday
I pray for both of our souls
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

If Only

Lyrics:

Buttermilk biscuit, biscuit, biscuit
Buttermilk biscuit butter side down
Buttermilk biscuit, biscuit, biscuit
Buttermilk biscuit, fallen on the ground

6 in the mornin' and i'm up to make
buttermilk biscuits, biscuits, biscuits
tasting so good the whole plate your gonna lick it
pour buttermilk in the batter then mix it, mix it, mix it
if you prefer use a whisk and whisk it
got the chorizo gravy on deck to flip it, flip it, flip it
put me on the skillet and you know i'm gonna rip it
a tasket a tisket, a basket of biscuits
made a morning treat for my love and dropped it, dropped it, dropped it
butter side down
5 second rule, null and void when butters on the ground
buttermilk biscuit, butter side down

The Couch King - Buttermilk Biscuit - Served Plain: 130 BPM (Open Collaboration)

This one is "My TV Knows What's Best".  It has a kind of a sci fi feel to it. Basically someone who literally watches too much TV.  It has become his sole source of companionship and information. He knows that it doesn't always make sense, but "the TV knows what's best". And unlike the vast majority of Television viewers, he really does believe everything he sees on TV.    Hope you enjoy!  


Lyrics;
My tv told me so...

Tonight at eleven
They're gonna tell me a story
About the end of everything
But I really shouldn't worry
Cause the late show is next 
Right after the message
Just give 'em 15 minutes 
And they handle any wreckage 

My TV knows what's best

Listen to the whispers
Over black and white pictures
It must be real important 
Cause it's all about perfume
And there's too many people
Earth is overpopulated 
Is the message from the mansion
With 40 empty rooms

And they only want
Everything you've got 
All your information 
Each and every thought
They  want an easy life
You need to be at their beck and call
They only want for you to pay 
for their perfect world that's all 

They say

Don't drive a car  
It's polluting the planet
As they fly around the globe in a private jet
It only takes a dime 
For you to make a difference 
Said the man who keeps nine 
for every ten he gets
You need to clear your conscience 
They will take away your guilt
It's worth every penny
For when their perfect world is built

My TV told me so
My TV knows what's best

Do what you're told
Listen to the T.V. 
It knows what you need
It knows what is best
And They wanna perfect world
Give everything you have
You can keep
your peace of mind
They'll only take the rest

My TV told me so
My TV knows what's best

My TV told me so
My TV knows what's best...

My TV Knows What's Best

Little Did I Know

I start this new album with better sound by means of one of my more beloved and evolved songs ever, a structured piece with progressing parts.

LETRA   /   TRANSLATED LYRICS:

BIEN, MAL (LLUVIA VIEJA)    /   WELL, BADLY (OLD RAIN)

Sí, no, ¿por qué no?   /   Yes, no, why not? 
estoy pensando que esto no es lo mejor.   /   I am thinkinkg this is not the best.
Bien, mal, ¿tú qué tal?   /   Well, badly, what about you?
de repente me he puesto a pensar.   /   Suddenly I have started to think.

El tiempo esparcido entre mis amigos   /   Time scattered among my friends
 es el más valioso cuando estoy contigo.   /   is the most valuable one when I am with you
Los ratos vividos estando contigo   /   Moments lived being with you
 son reconfortantes cuando estoy perdido.   /   are comforting when I feel lost. 
Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos,   /   I must search for them among my friends
tengo que encontrarlos, pero ya se han ido todos.   /   I must find them, but they are all gone already.

Fumando   /   Smoking 
tras los cristales   /   behind the windows
mojados de lluvia vieja.   /   wet with old rain
Recuerdos   /   Memories
 que me llevan flotando   /   carry me floating
 a estar con ella.   /   to be with her

Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos.   /   I must search for them among my friends

Bien, mal (Lluvia vieja)

Thick soup of chaos

Firstly on easy listening 6/4 bars, I cut some notes out of the main theme so as to give it dynamism, and finally obtained a prime amalgam of 17 quarter notes. I hid any recognizable thing in the accompaniment, and for the organic lines (voice and guitars) I tried the strong rhythm would not fix too much the melodies, first paying a lot of attention, and finally ... just letting me go.

Translated lyrics:

Oídos sordos (17 negras)  /  Deaf ears (17 quarter notes)

Quiero gritar todo lo que siento, estando solo;  /   I want to shout out everything I feel, being alone;
pero gritándolo al viento y si no contesta,  /  but shouting it at the wind and if it doesn’t answer,
dime, ¿de qué me sirve? (bis)  /  tell me, how does that help me? (bis)

Todos los vientos conocen mi historia  /  All the winds know my story
pero no hacen nada.  /  but they don’t do anything.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

He estado aquí y allí gritando como un loco,  /  I’ve been here and there screaming like a madman,
pero todo sigue igual.  /  but it’s all the same.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…

Ahora sé que no sirve de nada;  /  Now I know it’s no use;
el viento sois todos que callais al verme,  /  all of you are the wind, silent when you see me,
y dejáis que hable y hable,  /  and letting me speak and speak,
y dejáis que hable y hable y hable.  /  and letting me speak and speak and speak.

No creo que vuelva mañana  /  I don’t think I’ll be back tomorrow
a escuchar vuestro silencio.  /  to listen to your silence.
Quiero encontrar a alguien. (bis)  /  I want to find someone. (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…
