A short meditation on those things which move beneath the surface of our psyches, deep inside of us, the gods and monsters of our dreams and inspiration.

Rising And Falling From The Deep

This is a song I composed for my band Dreamtime back in the day. I am still pondering the question posed by Nostradamus' prediction - who is the man in the blue turban?

Sno Peas

The 5th song from my "Music For Newborns" album. I wrote lyrics for this 1, maybe someday I'll do a version with vocals. Here they are:
La La
What did
The morning dove say?

I hear 
Her calling
In a musical way

Come play
Come play
A new day
New day

La La
What did
The morning dove say?

The sun has
Just risen
The breeze is at play

Come play
Come play
A new day
New day

La La, What Did The Morning Dove Say ?

Written performed and produced by Benjamin Nitze. Featuring Dhollasak Sriboon on trumpet & flugelhorn horn
