Description: I was experimenting with the Tenor Sax vst in NI Session Horns and came up with this. Helen said it reminded her of the frenetic ebb and flow in the final mating flight of mayflies as they battle against time to find a mate and complete their lifecycle within a few short hours of emerging from the water.

Oh. What a fantastic treatment of the sax sound. 🦩

Beautiful, makes me think of Blade Runner :)

Beautiful horns and synth...Elegant and bewitching....Perfect soundscape...

These mayflies have a depth to them. Very well painted.

Love the horns, rhythm and melodic patterns throughout!  Brilliant! :)

A little something Phil McWalter sent for me to listen to years ago. I sprinkled a little too much pixie dust on this one and so had to scrap the idea although he pulled off quite a nice mix on his site.

Lost In An Indian Suburbs

Look at me tree
All my branches broken
Leaves all gone

Tree

As we grew older and older, we began to lose the innocence we had as children. In this composition I wanted to remember those years, at the beginning of our lives.

Innocence

Aujourd'hui, où une certaine forme de dissolution du comportement humain se fait sentir un peu partout de part le monde, et fait perdre une certaine cohésion ainsi que l'érosion de certaines valeurs …. cela pourrait nous faire douter d'une société future dont on ne sait pas, si elle sera bonne ou mauvaise …. Mais il ne faut pas oublier que l'être humain répugne à l'enfermement, et c'est un merveilleux ressourcement pour son esprit quand il est délivré et qu'il s'engage pour un monde meilleurs. 
Une interprétation du sujet, peut être musicalement marquante, mais fantaisiste ici. 

Avec la voix de : Clara Sorace

**********************************************************************************************************

Today, when a certain form of dissolution of human behaviour is being felt all over the world, and a certain cohesion is being lost, as well as the breakdown of certain values .... could make us doubt about a future society which we do not know if it will be good or bad .... But we must not forget that human beings are averse to confinement, and it is a marvellous resource for their spirit when they are liberated and commit themselves to a better world. 
An interpretation of the subject, perhaps musically striking, but whimsical here.

Living In The Future

Septic Underground - Washed Away

We're late starters, hence the name.  Andy started playing and learning how to use a DAW to keep distracted during the covid lockdown, while Helen finally realised a long held ambition to have a go at singing, and is now both writing and performing.
We love the community on Soundcloud, where we can share our music with like minded souls.
