marvelous idea and collab Axel, Oddrun and Isabel:)

How lovely and breezy. Breezy in a way the belies its depth. And also... I do love family music.

Oh wie voll von Schönheit! Und eine wundervolle Erinnerung.an das  Wunder der unschuldigen und natürlichen Unbekümmerheit der Kindheit!

this is great, such a laid back tune, I can feel myself relaxing by the second :)

légèreté, fraicheur, que du plaisir à écouter...

Your lovely daughter Isabel, how she can sing for all the children in the world. I smile :)

and her graphic sketch is wonderful, so I smile even more, to all children:)

Aachen

My new song is about feeling hope. What is under the man's waist? It could be a huge drum of nuclear waste, or race, or an immature system of society that denigrates poverty. But the man has hope. It's also a form of hope that wants the music to be as beautiful as possible.

Projecting hope (235)

We have all heard about the four riders of the apocalypse. Lately a fifth horseman has appeared, in a certain country to the far east of Europe, intent upon outdoing all the others. 

THE FIFTH HORSEMAN DESPERATELY TRYING TO CATCH UP

"If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present." - Roy T. Bennett

A Monday piano improvisation...Wishing everyone listening happiness today.

Happiness

The long anticipated;) follow up has arrived.  I begin the song with a brief reprise of "Two Faced" to set the stage.  After the cold and bluster of March, the gentleness of spring and early summer is felt with a walk in the park.
Thank you all for the overwhelming response to my ode to March and especially the interest shown in the little teaser, epilogue now a more complete thought.  As they say, "take time to smell the flowers":)

A Walk In The Park (David, acoustic guitars)

Silence By Zitou Itou & Albert Paule

Kintsugi is an art form that embodies the philosophy of wabi-sabi which values the beauty of imperfection and transience. Kintsugi also serves as a metaphor for embracing our flaws and imperfections in life seeing them as a source of strength and beauty and finding resilience in the face of adversity. 

Kintsugi

Simple track, music made in GarageBand :)

Lyrics:

Love can be such a beautiful thing, if you just let it out
Don't hold back your love
You can't expect others to know
If you can't show what you feel inside, no one can see the real you
So don't hold back your love
Just let it out
Let it flow..

If you dare to give a piece of your heart
You can get so much in return
Give as much as you can
Even if you risk getting burned

Love can be such a beautiful thing if you just let it out
Don't hold back your love
You can't expect others to know
If you can't show what you feel inside, no one can see the real you
So don't hold back your love
just let it out
Let it flow...

No one can do it for you
But someone can do it to you...

No One Can Do It For You  (Original)

✨ Silk and Iron ✨
by Alexandru Sorin Ciobanu Al Rufei
Dedicated to my ballet students

In a world where grace is born from discipline, and strength is hidden behind every delicate step, "Silk and Iron*"was inspired by the silent poetry of my ballerina students and the beauty of a timeless collaboration with a gifted ballet teacher.

This piece is a tribute to the invisible dialogue between music and dance — between the softness of silk and the resilience of iron.
It flows like fabric through winter air, echoing the passion, fragility, and determination that define the soul of every dancer.

Let yourself be carried by this musical reverie — where each note becomes a step, each silence a breath, and each phrase a pirouette through memory and dream.




Silk and Iron

J'ai remixé ce titre sortie il y a 6 ans que je n'ai jamais publié sur Soundcloud. Il est inspiré de l'univers mythique de l'écrivain HP Lovecraft que tous les fans de fantastique doive connaître.
Dans cette mythologie, les Chiens de Tindalos, lorsqu'ils chassent, rejoignent notre univers en passant par les coins des pièces. Faites de beaux rêves :)

----
Often in the night,
Alone in the dark,
I hear a bark
But there's nothing in sight

In the angles of time
I know they hide,
On another side,
Away from our mind

If you find this don't try to understand

If you ever meet
The Hounds of Tindalos
Insanity you may come across...
(Enough !)

I plastered the corners 
I masked the edges
Will these strategies
Stop the great elders ?
If you finally find this testimony,
Never ever try to learn more about me

In this quest for knowledge and truth, 
I tried to see through space and time until I get caught !
Theses creatures from ancient times do not allow such breach in space...
Since then they follow my trace

(Enough !)

If you ever meet
The Hounds of Tindalos
Insanity you may come across...
(Enough !)
-----
(Hommage à HP Lovecraft)
Souvent dans la nuit,
Seul dans l'obscurité,
J'entends un aboiement
Mais il n'y a rien en vue

Dans les angles du temps
Je sais qu'ils se cachent,
Sur une autre plan,
Loin de notre esprit

Si vous trouvez ceci, n'essayez pas de comprendre

Si jamais vous rencontrez
Les chiens de Tindalos
Vous risquez de tomber sur la folie...
(Assez !)

J'ai plâtré les coins 
J'ai masqué les bords
Ces stratégies
Arrêteront-elles les grands anciens ?
Si vous trouvez finalement ce témoignage,
N'essayez jamais d'en savoir plus sur moi

Dans cette quête de la connaissance et de la vérité, 
J'ai essayé de voir à travers l'espace et le temps jusqu'à ce que je me fasse attraper !
Ces créatures des temps anciens ne permettent pas une telle percée dans l'espace...
Depuis, elles suivent ma trace

(Assez !)

Si jamais vous rencontrez 
Les chiens de Tindalos
Vous risquez de tomber sur la folie...
(Assez !)

The Hounds of Tindalos

Eternal Music

Axel Weiß - guitar, chords, whistling

This song is dedicated to the children of our world and to the love between them and their parents. Just two and a half chords here, to hold it pure. My lovely daughter Isabel starts with an old children's rhyme about a little butterfly which is searching for a dancer (she sang it about 20 years ago). And my dear friend and musical compagnion Oddrun from Oslo enriches us with her magical vocals and lyrics. 

Art: Isabel (sketch) / Ax. (painting), 1993

Smile to the Children (Oddrun Eikli, Isabel & Axel Weiß)

The opening is dedicated to the wonderful music of John Coltrane. His ballad 'Naima' was the inspiration for the first part of this tune, played in one take. The second half is a spontaneously created latin jazz impro, played spontaneously in two spontaneous first takes too - on the rhythmic and the solo track. 

'Waters of Life' was generously featured over several months on Neworld TV in New York City (many thanks to Sasha Hohri for the biig support). 
Thanks a bunch to all listeners and friends here, too.

Making music, mainly with guitar. In the past (70s/80s) a lot, now from time to time. My paintings correspond to the music. You are welcome to listen and to enjoy if you like, if you can. Peace, Axel
