Stephan et moi nous sommes rencontré sur Soundcloud. Il m’a contacté en me demandant si je voulais faire une collaboration avec lui,  en entandant sa superbe voix j’ai tout de suite accepté.
J’ai composé la chanson de base et on l’a travaillée à distance. Faut dire que Stephan est originaire de l’Île Maurice mais demeure en Irlande et  moi je suis au Québec. Sur ma musique, il a composé paroles et mélodie et j’ai finalisé l’arrangement en me fiant sur son travail. Vous remarquerai qu’il n’y a pas de couplets et refrains répétitifs comme c’est la plupart du temps le cas et cela est voulu ainsi. 
Ses magnifiques envolées vocales combinées à une musique de genre  pop-funk-jazz donne lieu à une chanson vraiment originale.  

Bonne écoute! 

Stephan and I met on Soundcloud. He contacted me and asked if I wanted to collaborate with him, and I immediately accepted when I heard his superb voice.
I composed the basic song and we worked it remotely. I must say that Stephan is originally from Mauritius but lives in Ireland and I am in Quebec. On my music, he composed lyrics and melody and I finalized the arrangement by relying on his work. You will notice that there are no repetitious verses and choruses as is most of the time the case and this is intended so. 
Its magnificent vocal outbursts combined with a pop-funk-jazz genre music gives rise to a truly original song.  

Good listening!

Lyrics:

Hey Alyxia, can you hear me shout?  
I’ve called your name four times, you still tune me out 
I’ve got a bullhorn, but you’re off in a daze  
You’re the glitchiest gadget, stuck in your haze 
I say lights on, you think I said off,  
Now I’m tripping on furniture, cursing at the loft  
You’re supposed to be sharp, you’re supposed to assist  
But you’re more like a gremlin I can’t dismiss

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day  
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain  
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

The coffee’s brewing, or so you claim  
But the pot’s ice-cold, just like your game  
You’ve locked the front door, but left it ajar
Now I’m locked in or out, talking to the car  
You call it intelligent, I call it insane  
I asked for the news, not a weather vane 
And if the Wi-Fi’s down, well, life’s on pause  
Can’t flush the toilet, can’t feed the cat’s claws

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray 
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day 
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain  
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

The fridge sends emails, the stove’s on a spree  
My TV’s giving lectures on philosophy  
Every device has its own little voice 
But not a single one follows my choice 
The thermostat’s plotting to freeze me out  
While the vacuum decides to wander about  
This place is a circus, a farce in disguise  
A high-tech nightmare that’s ruining my ties

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray  
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day 
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain  
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray  
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day  
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain  
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

So here’s to the future, where tech rules the roost  
But I’m longing for a time when things made some sense
At the very least  
I’ll take a dumb home with knobs and keys  
Over this dumb life that’s brought me to my knees 
Next time I’ll just buy a shack with no flair  
Because this digital dungeon is too much to bear

Dumb House

Music Video

What if our senses were fooled, and reality was just a beautifully crafted illusion? In a world where AI can simulate emotions, this song tells the story of a woman in love with an AI boyfriend, questioning what's real and what’s just a perfect dream. Even if it’s all an illusion, does it really matter if it feels real?

Lie and Say I’m Pretty
Some truths cut too close. I don’t need them tonight.
I’m tired of people thinking they’re helping by telling me exactly how it is, as if I haven’t already been living inside those same sharp edges for months. Sometimes I don’t want clarity — I want softness. I want someone to sit next to me, look me in the eye, and make the world feel less heavy for just a little while, even if it means lying.
Tell me I’m pretty. Tell me I’m enough. Even if we both know I don’t believe it.
There’s a quiet in my head that turns to noise the second I’m alone. Thoughts rush in like floodwater and I can’t control where they go. I imagine you here, showing me how to move slower, how to sway without bracing for impact. I don’t know how to dance, but maybe you could teach me.
If you can’t fix me, then lie with me. Let me believe in something gentle before the night ends. Pretend, just for now, that the world isn’t as sharp as I know it is.

Lie And Say Im Pretty...

A crushing wave of heavy riffs, dark atmospheres, and raw energy. Supersonic takes you straight into the heart of chaos — where skulls crack, amps scream, and shadows burn. Turn it up loud, lose yourself in the storm.

Tick, tock
truth is late
Clap, stomp
we still wait

Two plus two is five tonight
Wrong feels heavy, lies feel light
Shadows bend, the crowd obeys
Start again, there's no end

Yeah! Numbers break
Yeah! Mirrors shake
Yeah! Nonsense rhymes
Yeah! It stands through time

Maps are drawn without the land
Castles built on grains of sand
Echoes ring, the night is loud
Wisdom hides inside the crowd

If the joke makes sense
It wasn't deep enough
If the nonsense lingers
It might be true

Shadows laugh
mirrors bend
Truth's a circle with no end
Clap once
stomp twice
Even lies can sound precise

Yeah! Numbers break
Yeah! Mirrors shake
Yeah! Nonsense rhymes
Yeah! It stands through time
Yeah! Clap, stomp, wait
Yeah! Truth is late

Tick, tock
Truth is late
Clap, stomp
We still wait

Truth Is Late (TikTok song)

Me, Myself

Mc Tazo - Rosey - Lets Get It - (bounce) (donk)

[Verse 1]
Hidden currents
Flow beneath choices, carrying whispers of unseen truth
Paths converge, opportunities appear, timing aligns, but only for those attuned to notice, ready to step, ready to act without forcing the moment
Energy moves through intention, thought, and emotion, layering in complex patterns; each action taken in harmony with the flow magnifies manifestation, creating outcomes that feel inevitable and alive

[Verse 2]
Empty wishing
Hopes without motion drift aimlessly through the mind
Desire alone, tangled with fear, impatience, or doubt, cannot create results; vibration misaligned, actions weak or absent, opportunity passes unnoticed
Focusing only on outcomes while ignoring inner alignment and deliberate action produces frustration, cycles of waiting, and missed chances; manifestation requires coherence, not wishful thinking

[Bridge 1]
Silent momentum
Builds beneath awareness, unseen yet persistent
Patience and clarity merge, guiding subtle decisions that ripple outward, preparing the ground for outcomes yet to materialize
Every aligned thought, every intentional step, compounds invisibly; small choices gain weight, timing unfolds naturally, and reality begins to mirror the inner state with quiet precision

[Chorus 1]
Magnetic pulse
Not by wishing, but by leaning into the signal
Inner vibration sets direction; emotion and focus guide action, momentum builds as reality mirrors your state
You are magnet and motion, observer and participant; aligned heart, steady mind, intentional step, and life bends, converging naturally around your resonance and intent

[Verse 3]
Shifting light
Illuminates the edges of your hidden choices
Every subtle decision, every quiet intention, compounds unseen, creating ripple effects in life’s fabric that eventually surface as tangible reality
Notice the pattern, follow the nudges, act with mindful energy; the outer world bends not to desire alone, but to congruence between inner vibration and physical motion

[Bridge 2]
Hushed energy
Moves like smoke, shaping things without force or effort
Patience and awareness together allow resonance to guide action; forcing or ignoring flow diminishes results
Step lightly, observe fully, act intentionally; the world answers alignment, not demand, and subtle energies catalyze events that feel destined yet free

[Chorus 2]
Magnetic pulse
Not by wishing, but by leaning into the signal
Inner vibration sets direction; emotion and focus guide action, momentum builds as reality mirrors your state
You are magnet and motion, observer and participant; aligned heart, steady mind, intentional step, and life bends, converging naturally around your resonance and intent

[Outro]
Quiet gravity
Anchors us even when everything else shifts
Every subtle movement, thought, and feeling traces the lines of unseen energy, culminating in outcomes we call luck, destiny, or synchronicity
Embrace alignment, act with clarity, trust the currents, and let resonance carry you; the song of life unfolds naturally, a reflection of inner state vibrating outward into every dimension of experience

MONSTER SOUND #1 Tazo's Top 100

This is one track on this EP that is mainly Hand Pan/ Hand drum influenced! There are insane bass drops at the end. This is seriously one of my favorite Hand drum songs I’ve written yet! Enjoy!!

Ascension

An anthem to wild youth: that moment when everything burns and everything shines. Where skin is paper, dreams are fire, and time breaks apart between laughter and scars. It’s a scream from the edge, veins open to the sky; a song to the fleeting, the pure, what is born and dies in the same heartbeat. Being young is burning without permission, running toward the new even if it means leaving behind what we loved.

Little White Lies - John Hardman

Ulla F. - "One (A Mosaic of Us)" [Official Audio]

In a world working overtime to drive us apart, "One (A Mosaic of Us)" is a blistering pop-punk anthem that fights back with a simple, radical truth: our differences are what make us beautiful, and our shared humanity is what makes us strong.

This is more than a song; it's a sonic shield. Through three powerful vignettes set in Berlin, Chicago, and Mumbai, Ulla F. doesn't just sing about unity—she showcases it in action. She stands with a threatened drag queen, forms a human chain to protect a family from deportation, and witnesses a simple act of compassion that bridges a deep religious divide.

The verses are urgent, cinematic stories, while the chorus explodes into a unifying gang-vocal chant you can't help but shout along to. It's the sound of quiet courage becoming a roar.

This is for everyone who has ever felt "other." This is for everyone who has ever stood up for someone else. This is a reminder that in the face of division, we are a messy, imperfect, and magnificent mosaic. And we are ONE.

---

Ulla F. - "One (A Mosaic of Us)" [Official Audio]

In einer Welt, die alles tut, um uns zu spalten, ist "One (A Mosaic of Us)" eine mitreißende Pop-Punk-Hymne, die einer einfachen, radikalen Wahrheit eine Stimme verleiht: Unsere Unterschiede sind es, die uns schön machen, und unsere gemeinsame Menschlichkeit ist es, die uns stark macht.

Dies ist mehr als nur ein Song; es ist ein schallender Schild. In drei kraftvollen, filmischen Szenen – spielend in Berlin, Chicago und Mumbai – besingt Ulla F. die Einheit nicht nur, sie zeigt sie in Aktion. Sie stellt sich schützend vor eine bedrohte Dragqueen, bildet eine Menschenkette zum Schutz einer Familie vor Abschiebung und wird Zeugin einer einfachen Geste, die eine tiefe religiöse Kluft überbrückt.

Die Strophen erzählen dringende Geschichten, während der Chor in einen vereinenden, mitreißenden Refrain explodiert, den man unweigerlich mitschreien möchte. Es ist der Sound leisen Mutes, der zu einem Aufschrei wird.

Dies ist für alle, die sich jemals "anders" gefühlt haben. Dies ist für alle, die jemals für jemand anderen eingestanden sind. Dies ist eine Erinnerung daran, dass wir im Angesicht der Spaltung ein chaotisches, unperfektes und großartiges Mosaik sind. Und wir sind EINS.

This track was written in loving memory of my wife's sister, who we lost to suicide a few years back. It's a subject no one really wants to discuss but suicide prevention is a very important topic.

Away (Acoustic Version 1)

An Epic Novel. A Sonic Universe. One True Story.

Welcome to the sonic universe of "Behind Us The Land" (Hinter uns das Land). What began as a soundtrack for an epic historical novel has evolved into a global, cross-genre music phenomenon, celebrated by millions of listeners and a worldwide community of artists.

Discover the different worlds within this project:

The official soundtrack to the 80-year true story of the Feyerabend family.

The epic progressive metal of the virtual band Adelheide's Wisdom.

The chart-topping indie pop of the virtual artist Ulla F.

Helmed by author, producer, and lifelong music curator Frank Talmon l'Armée, this project is the result of a deep-seated passion for music and storytelling. As the human visionary, he employs a hybrid method of traditional songwriting and the pioneering use of AI tools as his "orchestra" to bring this monumental saga to life.

This is a place for deep listeners, for fans of epic stories and genre-defying music. Dive in, explore the albums and playlists, and become part of a story that connects the past with the future.

At its heart, 'Behind Us The Land' is more than just the 80-year story of one German family. It's a universal parable about loss, resilience, and the unbreakable will to build a new home from the ruins – a story that repeats itself tens of thousands of times every single day, all over the world. Our music aims to give a voice to this universal experience and to inspire courage.

OUR VISION & MISSION

Our Vision: We believe that resilience can make even the deepest wounds bearable.

Our Mission: This project is dedicated to a profoundly human, true story to achieve two things:

To Bear Witness: To show what war does to ordinary people and how its scars echo for generations.

To Give Courage: To strengthen and inspire anyone who has suffered loss or lived through difficult times.

This is music as a testament. A story that repeats itself every day.

A Beyond & Before Music production.

Ein Romanepos. Ein Klanguniversum. Eine wahre Geschichte.

Willkommen im Klang-Universum von "Hinter uns das Land". Was als Soundtrack zu einem epischen historischen Roman begann, hat sich zu einem globalen, genre-übergreifenden Musikphänomen entwickelt, das von Millionen von Hörern und einer weltweiten Community von Künstlern gefeiert wird.

Entdecken Sie die verschiedenen Welten innerhalb dieses Projekts:

Den offiziellen Soundtrack zur 80-jährigen, wahren Saga der Familie Feyerabend.

Den epischen Progressive Metal der virtuellen Band Adelheide's Wisdom.

Den chartstürmenden Indie-Pop der virtuellen Künstlerin Ulla F.

Geführt von Autor, Produzent und Musik-Kurator Frank Talmon l'Armée, ist dieses Projekt das Ergebnis einer lebenslangen Leidenschaft für Musik und das Erzählen von Geschichten. Als menschlicher Visionär nutzt er eine hybride Methode aus traditionellem Songwriting und dem wegweisenden Einsatz von KI-Werkzeugen als sein "Orchester", um diese monumentale Saga zum Leben zu erwecken.

Dies ist ein Ort für anspruchsvolle Hörer, für Fans von epischen Geschichten und genre-sprengender Musik. Tauchen Sie ein, erforschen Sie die Alben und Playlists und werden Sie Teil einer Geschichte, die die Vergangenheit mit der Zukunft verbindet.

Im Herzen ist 'Hinter uns das Land' mehr als nur die 80-jährige Geschichte einer deutschen Familie. Es ist eine universelle Parabel über Verlust, Widerstandsfähigkeit und den unzerbrechlichen Willen, aus den Trümmern eine neue Heimat zu schaffen – eine Geschichte, die sich täglich zigtausendfach auf der ganzen Welt wiederholt. Unsere Musik soll dieser universellen Erfahrung eine Stimme geben und Mut machen.

UNSERE VISION & MISSION

Unsere Vision: Wir glauben daran, dass Resilienz selbst die tiefsten Wunden erträglich machen kann.

Unsere Mission: Dieses Projekt widmet sich einer zutiefst menschlichen, wahren Geschichte, um zwei Dinge zu erreichen:

Zeugnis ablegen: Zu zeigen, was Krieg mit normalen Menschen macht und wie seine Narben über Generationen nachhallen.

Mut machen: Jeden zu stärken und zu inspirieren, der Verlust erlitten oder schwere Zeiten durchlebt hat.

Das ist Musik als Vermächtnis. Eine Geschichte, die sich täglich wiederholt.

Ein Projekt von Beyond & Before Music.
