nice really nice, minimalist and sci fi maybe. full imagination and great mastery of sound. Dig it..

love the gentle burn and evolution of sound - a super soundscape!!

The burning eternal question - do you love me?
Do you love me, you love me?
Well so do people who sell ice-cream
They'll say anything, they think I'd like to hear

Do yo love me like they do?

Hey girl, you better watch out
cos people care not for what you may
Though it's written on their faces
They hide behind sweet words

Anybody for ice-cream (or tennis)?
(a nod to @nic_nic_nic: Nic for tennis suggestion)

Happiness (for Núria & Mia)

Returned

Listen

I made this song with the desire to replace and connect with the next tone before the change in tone has meaning.
 I love to remember the reality in my mind, such as "when I feel the emotions of others" and "impressions of dreams just before waking up".
 I wanted to express the movement of my heart, which only I, who I love so much, know through music. 
 I tried to stay as far away from any form of genre as possible and carefully searched and made my own form.
 The characteristic of this song is that you can't find a more comprehensive image than any other song in the past.

Longing for something that has substance even if it has no form.（238）

Oh......
I'm feeling so tired today
Oh, I love so much in this life
Much more than I ever felt love...in return

All my children are grown
They don't even call me

Oh, why do our puppy dogs not live so long
They always gave me the best company
Oh, I'm dying alone now

My head is so, so floating away
I shouldn't (have) taken all those pills....but
Oh It feels so good to know tomorrow
 won't be awaken

They might find my stinkin' green flesh
(two months , three months who knows)

I don't really want to make them feel guily but
They really should (be) 
... knowing how much they took advantage of me

I'm tired of suffering in my smiling coma
Everyone says how ya doin' and I just say
...I 'm just fine....
When they know it's not true anyway
Nobody cares anymore...cruel world

It's not depression, it's just there's no reason to fight anymore 
I've been waiting for the courage to take this step
Don't need a LINE to... prevent me from SUICIDE

When will I go to that eternel sleep and peace
There'll be angels waitin' for me I'm sure
Cause I've always blessed them in my soul
Good bye, this is my SUICIDE NOTE

There are many reasons why I could, one year later I'm posting this again. A very painful breakup. I am in great pain. This song hits hard. This is dedicated the most beautiful, caring, generous Yvane, who lost her brother to a likely suicide. She never got over his death. Yvane, I miss you, you were my friend, my cousin and an exceptional mother, leaving two remarquable children in grief. She couldn't make "the suffering" -  the secret haunting monster in her head, go away.

Suicide Note

SUICIDE NOTE

Song composed during a Fredericton Arts Alliance Residency. Joint composition with Bryan McDaniel. Guitar Bryan McDaniel.

There is nothing wrong with you because you are different. Everyone is different.

We do not have to be homogeneous; we do not have to be the same. There is distance and difference between even the closest of human beings. We do not have to walk the same path to share the same vision: that all view points are valuable; except for hate, which is not a viewpoint at all but a dark glass some people see through… losing all clarity and beauty.

We do not need to stand above someone. We can stand side by side and not be in each other’s shade…so that we all receive the same amount of sunlight. 

Two great things we can do in life: Have the courage to be yourself, your unique self and embrace what is different about you; and the second thing is to embrace what is different about everyone else …what is their unique contribution to the world?  (And maybe doing the second will only come from doing the first. Maybe you can’t accept everyone else’s differences unless you accept your own). 

Every power struggle, abuse, and essentially all inequity in the world is related. We need to solve the inequities in our own lives in order to impact the world’s inequities and essentially set a good example so that others will follow, not you; but your behaviour, by making changes on their own.

Differences are very important. We need them to understand things…without differences we cannot compare, understand, and get perspective. We wouldn’t even have a concept of time without differences! Differences create understanding if we embrace them and only difference can create change and growth…the concepts of change and growth are also not possible without differences! 

The ironic thing is that humans sometimes think that rejecting differences and striving to be the same will create unity. But the opposite is true: only through accepting all our differences and celebrating them can we truly unite and move forward.

I'm primarily a guitar player but I'll try to make music with anything you throw at me. When left to my own devices I enjoy recording minimalist ambient pieces and textural soundscapes. My principal sound source for these efforts is manipulated guitar but I often include electronics and organic sources. I enjoy working on collaborations with other musicians. Please contact me if you are interested.
