[Chant] ☀️
J'étais une feuille
De la houille, son aïeul.
En plein soleil,
J'ai fait des merveilles.

[Slam] 🌿
Hydrophile, chlorophylle, j'ai capté toute la lumière,
C O 2, au delà de l'ère du carbonifère,
J'avais sédimenté dans une sorte de tourbière.
Ensevelie, j'ai pris et emporté toute ma matière.

Tout au fond, dans le noir, a commencé mon histoire
Pas banale, dégradée d'organique à minérale.
J'ai subi la pression, l'impression d'être tout au fond
Des secousses dans l'enfer, tous les mouvements de la Terre...

[Chant avec théremine] 💎
J'étais une feuille
Enfouie sous le sol ;
Cachée plus longtemps
J'aurais été un diamant

[Slam] ⚒️
Et même si, malgré tout, j'ai subi un autre sort
Transformée en charbon, j'étais devenue trésor,
Un filon, une pépite qu'on pète à la dynamite, 
Extraite à leur péril, par des gueules noircies viriles.

Dans la mine, les galeries, en plus des pioches et des pelles,
Des machines, dans le bruit, aident les mineurs à leur peine.
De ces roches inutiles qui deviendront des terrils, 
Dans l'effort, dans la suie, de la veine au ciel, ils m'ont...

[Chant, avec ensemble de cordes] 🪨
Sorti à l'air libre, 
Porté en berline.
Je suis une feuille
Fossile qu'on accueille...

[Slam final] 🔥
Quelle surprise, juste après, 
J'n'ai pas compris c'qu'ils m'ont fait !
Ils m'ont broyé, con-cassé,
Tout çà juste pour m'allumer...

🌿 Empreinte Carbone ⚒️

Main instruments used taken from Spitfire Audio's BBC Symphony Discover except piano, oboe, choir, pecussion and risers 🙂

The farewell is now announced,
nature mourns,
the summer is too much aged,
its clock is now ticking.

The becoming is past,
the parting sets in,
it shows itself in sublimity
as autumnal beautiful glow.

A silver-colored night robe
wraps mountain and valley,
the world - it shines in retirement,
the sun shines pale.

The dew pearls from stalk and leaf,
the sky shows its blue
and every drop reflects dully,
and brightens the gray of farewell.

A heavy course is carried out
in silent harmony,
It is life's farewell song
it will never go out.

(© Klaus Ender, Bergen - born 1939, unfortunately deceased in March 2021)

Der Abschied ist nun angesagt,
es trauert die Natur,
der Sommer ist zu sehr betagt,
es läuft jetzt seine Uhr.

Das Werden ist Vergangenheit,
es setzt das Scheiden ein,
es zeigt sich in Erhabenheit
als herbstlich schöner Schein.

Ein silberfarbnes Nachtgewand
ummantelt Berg und Tal,
die Welt – sie glänzt im Ruhestand,
die Sonne leuchtet fahl.

Es perlt der Tau von Halm und Blatt,
der Himmel zeigt sein Blau
und jeder Tropfen spiegelt matt,
verschönt des Abschieds Grau.

Vollzogen wird ein schwerer Gang
in stiller Harmonie,
es ist des Lebens Abgesang,
erlöschen wird es nie.

Scottyottydopaliscious. Never insipid.
Instinctually primal to drop a rhyme that's seditious.
Surreptitious, I am not, expeditious, I am.
Repetitious about fictitious and pernicious laid plans
by the man, and by 'the man', I mean those we've elected,
who persuade simple minds and keep the wealthy protected. 
But at what cost? Our true wealth; health, education. 
A teacher's salary is what they earn on vacation.
When will we lose patience like it's homophone due to cuts,
get the guts to stand up to everything that's unjust?
Vigilance is a must nowadays or we're fucked but
it would be nice for once to place the ice after just.

Under your ass I will light a fire. Grab your device.
A quick search will suffice to learn the facts of this vice
and maybe it will entice, inspire masses to fight
for paradise from the present hell we suffer in life. 

Don't think twice, it's not alright, we've had enough of their tripe.
I'll be concise with the knowledge I'm about to recite like
class sizes erupting, slashed courses disrupting
development of thinking critically, our children need something
other than mathematics. Don't get me started on how it's tragic
that my kids are disadvantaged simply 'cause they're not Catholic.
Our government remains emphatic in defending their lies.
Pointing fingers elsewhere while they aim to privatize
education and healthcare. Agenda aimed for the welfare
of the wealthy. Who you think receives the promised tax breaks?
So get the facts straight. Dig 'em up before they get buried.
Their distinction of truth is now black, beyond blurry,
so let's hurry, for real, 'cause we're running out of time.
So let us storm queen's park like 1789
instead of hopes for divine intervention. 
End of lesson. 
May I mention again the theme that I am stressin'?

Under your ass I will light a fire. Grab your device.
A quick search will suffice to learn the facts of this vice 
and maybe it will ignite the masses all to unite
and fight for their right to live equal in paradise.

A couple of analog synths and a digital sampler got together and did this sort of sinister sounding track.

Someone Strange Happened

Everybody Does It But We All Do It Different

Blackout

Time Enough For Love

From the EP "Smilers" June 2023
Hello Oxnard!!!
We're a rock & roll band
We'll rock & roll until we die
We've got rock & roll in our souls
And it's eating it's way out from the inside
Cover band superstars!

We look like we've been going about 20 years too long
5 fat geezers
All playing a different song
We're encumbered by music industry success
But, we are pure
We are holy
Cover band superstars!

We we're gonna put out our 1st album
It would be a masterpiece
Then we we're gonna fake our own deaths
Thereby securing our legacy
In the rock & roll mythology
Oh, but look at me now
Singing songs
"pour some sugar on me"
"anyone wanna hear bohemian rhapsody?"

It's enough to make you fall out of love with rock & roll
You know who we are
Meet me at the bar
Cover band superstars!

A man has to live his dreams
No matter what...

Cover Band Superstars!

窓の外　凶暴に夏　立ち騒ぐ

Outside my window, the blustery summer is in full swing.

The City

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

J'ai repris la création de musiques électroniques en 2019. Puis plusieurs événements m'ont ensuite beaucoup stimulé et fait évolué : l'écoute et l'entraide sur les réseaux sociaux musicaux, les résidences artistiques (Un Euro ne fait pas le Printemps) dans mon labo de recherche et la découverte de groupes talentueux (en particulier +++).
Mes réalisations sont principalement électroniques ; elles commencent à incorporer de la guitare. 
Je souhaite poursuivre des collaborations après de premières belles expériences, diversifier les styles et réaliser de plus nombreuses versions acoustiques de mes compositions.
