Cause I Wonder

A cover version of the song "Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)" composed by Carlos Santana and Tom Coster. (Edit: Mastered with iZotope Ozone on 25 September, 2023.)

You know, for all my life I've played mostly for myself. But then I discovered SoundCloud and then suddenly as of fall 2022 I have been blessed with the possibility to play for you (in addition to listening to you and with you). 

So, here is a modest version of one of the loveliest songs I have ever heard, played here by me with the Yamaha Montage 8 synthesizer. I have never had a real DX7 and I wanted to try to play a whole tune using only DX7 sounds the beauty of which surprises me every time (especially the guitar sound is incredible in my opinion). Here all but the drums are to the best of my knowledge as pure DX7 as it can get with Montage. 

The sounds used are E.Piano1, ElecBass, Guitar1, Syn-Lead1, Strings2 (converted wonderfully by Hideo Harada, Kamoda Music). The drums and drum groove are "Emulated CR-78 Kit" (Roland CR-78 drum machine) from the awesome Montage "Vintage Machines" soundbank by Easy Sounds.

Alone Without You

A score in the tradition of the romantic waltz, emotionally intertwined with the spirit of the Polish genius.

Hey Girl (2023) Anthology CD1 Track 12

Have U tried to light the pyre
floatin in the tide
salt water on ur thigh
notch an arrow,... caught tight in the catgut string
waitin on the headwinds to draw and fly
waitin on the headwinds to take my arrows wide
and I offered myself to the tell all crowds
keeping secrets (right out loud)
yea my lips unveil true meanings
censored bits to be intentional
but I need a better cleaning...
so I'm headed to the confessional
yea, so bless me father, gonna make me a sinner
float me on a funeral pyre
burn me in the timber
I'll sing for the choir
lookin dead...but I'm just tired of the shit that's being said
yayaya blablablaaaa
I would be ashamed if my mouth
was free ranging...sayin what I want
when I want...and y'all be damned
put it on blast and now y'all be spammed
and like a midnight crawler
I'll take every last dollar...wait,
didn't I hear 'bout a prophet throwin
crooked men out on their ear
ur god or ur god or ur god
are they all brethren...or the tip, of the spear
and have U tried to light a pyre
floatin in high tide
salt water on my thigh
I notch an arrow, caught tight in the catgut string
waitin on the headwinds to draw back and let fly
just waitin on the headwinds
takes my arrows wide

Burn Me In The Timber

Text spoken word / dream-like stream of consciousness]
[ bridge]
[Intro – drifting through space]
We were spare parts,
on a table of gods.
[ bridge]
Wires reaching into dreams,
[ bridge]
gears whispering our names.

[Verse – escape and chaos]
But love,
and panic,
and the memory of Earth
[ bridge]
sparked the fire in our lungs.
[ instrumental intermezzo electric leading guitar reverbs, reefs solo]

We ran through steel veins,
dropped a heart-shaped bomb
[ bridge]
and watched their world fold into silence.

[Bridge – freefall through stars]
No ship.
No gravity.
Just us—[ bridge]
tied by hands and fear, [ drop]
falling
through the dark
[ bridge]
like two tears lost in a sigh.

[Outro – rescue and return]
Then light.
Then roar.
[ bridge]
Then breath inside glass again.

We fell through death [ drop]
and rose inside
the blue.

[ whispering, slow speaking  woman voice ]
(Moonlanding is just the past
Earth is waitnig for both of us
[ bridge]
victoriouse escape to the peace
love is rising,  not the beast)
