Feeling

Unlimited Potential

This piano quintet is deeply rooted in Afro-Cuban music and its spiritual forces. Each movement represents a deity called Orisha, and showcases the diverse rhythms and melodies of Afro-Cuban culture, with the Orisha Shango, the lord of drums and thunder, serving as the focal point.

The second movement, "Raging Volcano," is divided into three sections. The first section builds up to the eruption, representing Agayu, the master of volcanoes and the road. The fast-paced and dissonant eruption is followed by a haunting descent of dissonant strings, with the piano gradually fading away like a heartbeat, leaving an image of desolation.

Sur un texte de Christian Portet

La Loire

Ça y est la Loire t'a engloutie
Sous le pont tu es partie
Je crois t'avoir vue couler
Tu sais j'ai bien rigolé

C'est la nature qui m'a vengé
Même si c'est moi qui t'ai poussée
Parce que tu m'avais trompé
Et puis tu es remontée

Refrain :
La Loire et ses sables bougeants
La Loire et ses poissons volants
La Loire et ses grands tourbillons
La Loire et ses oiseaux d'argent

Si tu savais comme je riais
Bien sûr j'étais un peu saoul
Oui j'ai rigolé comme un fou
J'ai vu des bêtes te grignoter

Tu étais tellement gonflée
Que j'ai cru qu't'allais éclater
C'était la deuxième journée
Que j'étais là à te regarder
(refrain)

On m'avait pourtant toujours dit
Qu’un noyé c'était très laid
Moi je t'ai trouvée très belle
Même si t'étais pas jolie

Et puis la Loire m'a pardonné
Elle m'a tendu ses bras, son lit
Et j'ai plongé sans hésiter
Tell'ment content de te retrouver
(refrain)

On a text by Christian Portet

The Loire

That's it the Loire has swallowed you
Under the bridge you left
I think I saw you sink
You know I had a good laugh

It is the nature which avenged me
Even if it is me who pushed you
Because you cheated on me
And then you came back up

Refrain :
The Loire and its moving sands
The Loire and its flying fish
The Loire and its big whirlpools
The Loire and its silver birds

If you knew how I laughed
Of course I was a little drunk
Yes I laughed like a madman
I saw animals nibbling at you

You were so swollen
I thought you were gonna burst
That was the second day
I've been standing there watching you
(refrain)

I've always been told
That a drowned man was very ugly
I found you very beautiful
Even if you were not pretty

And then the Loire forgave me
She offered me her arms, her bed
And I dove in without hesitation
So happy to find you
(refrain)

La Loire (Christian Portet / Myckaël Marcovic)

First collaboration - so much fun!  It was unexpected a few months ago to be contacted by Norbert from the other side of the globe, in Germany, expressing interest in doing a piece together.  After learning about our similar tastes in music (mostly progressive rock/metal) and discovering some fine guitar skills in Norbert (aka N.o.b.S),  it was exciting to be working on something together.  Here is our first effort, Crystal Ball, which I hope you will enjoy listening to.

Credits:
Norbert Meyer (N.o.b.S):  Guitars, Bass, drum programming, arrangement, mixing, mastering.
Jordan Davis (tempoTronix): Piano, strings, organ, synths, drum tweaking.

Asher's "A Tribute to Israel" is a medley that combines three well-known Israeli melodies: Yerushalayim Shel Zahav, Raid on Antebbe, and Hatikvah (the Israeli national anthem). The medley begins with a slow tempo and employs simple harmonies to create a solemn and reverential mood. Throughout the piece, a simple and expressive melody is repeated, and various techniques such as chromaticism, syncopated rhythms, and orchestration are used to add interest and variation.

One interesting aspect of "A Tribute to Israel" is the influence of Naomi Shemer's "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" on the composition. This song, written in 1967 to celebrate the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six-Day War, has become an iconic Israeli song, with its melody based on an old Hassidic tune and its lyrics expressing a love and longing for Jerusalem.

In "A Tribute to Israel," Asher pays tribute to Shemer's contribution to Israeli music by incorporating a variation of the melody from "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" in the first part of the medley. This use of the melody highlights the song's significance in Israeli culture and music and demonstrates the impact that Shemer had on Israeli music. The melody is played with reverence and a slower tempo, contributing to the overall solemnity of the piece.

In conclusion, "A Tribute to Israel" is a moving medley that combines iconic Israeli melodies, including a variation of "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav." This tribute to Naomi Shemer and her contribution to Israeli music demonstrates the importance of this song in Israeli culture and music and honors its enduring impact.
