This is a comission for the Jazz Devil big band (Montmélian, France), for a concert with an Irish traditional band named Celtic Alpes
This tune should be interpreted as the meeting between two musical band from opposite backgrounds, that start by playing turn by turn and finally unify their sounds at the end

This is an arrangement of the pokemon red and blue theme. It starts with an exposition of the theme as it was played by the gameboy, and then converts it to a jazzier version

This track was inspired by the story of US Airways Flight 1549 (2009) which landed in the Hudson River after hitting birds right after takeoff. (Yes I love planes and everything related to them :P)
The voices that you can hear are the recordings of the ATC conversation

So, this track is a bit special, at it's a collaboration between myself and an AI.

I had written these lyrics at the begining of the war in Ukraine, but could put them into music. Lately AI has dramatically improved and motivated me to rework the lyrics and try to record something around it. 

I therefore used gave the lyrics to Udio AI, then exported into Ableton, recorded myself at the trumpet and included the syth instruments. To summarize:

- Lyrics: Boris Burgarella
- Singer + basic arrangement: Udio AI (www.udio.com)
- Trumpet + Synth instruments: Boris Burgarella

Enjoy !

Lyrics:

(verse 1)
As winter's cloak of chill unfurled,
Hope bloomed 'neath spring's embrace, unfurled,
Yet petals fell, the ground to bed,
Where once was green, now hues of red.

(Chorus)
Now flee we must, in silent flight,
To breathe, to strive, to cling to light.
In belief's embrace, our spirits rise,
Where once joy danced, the flowered demise


(verse 2)
Through seas and lands, our journey strains,
Seeking haven from strife's chains.
As home unravels, hearts beseech,
Pray, may the shore our solace preach.

(chorus)
Now flee we must, in silent flight,
To breathe, to strive, to cling to light.
In belief's embrace, our spirits rise,
Where once joy danced, the flowered demise

(verse 3)
At the field's end, the forest sealed,
In silent plea, our fate revealed.
Though voiceless, our hearts still cry,
Oh, grant us aid 'neath darkened sky.
