Full Moon Night (V0) - Piano Works

Tea plantations on the planet Athoek, the location of some intrigue in Ann Leckie's book, Ancillary Sword.
I took inspiration from the early work of Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Vangelis)RIP. I loved how he combined traditional Greek instruments with electronics on "Earth".  "Heaven and Hell"  remains a personal favourite.

Plantation On Athoek

You Could Never Take Away

The cakewalk was more than a recreational dance; it also gave a chance for enslaved people to ridicule those who tyrannized them.

straight forward // remix of House Bass by Paploviante

Well, my good friend Paco dropped me a note to say he had a piece of music to which I might like to try and add something, were I so inclined.  Always a good day when that happens.

Now, I can't honestly recall the precise sequence in which the neurons fired inside my skull to yield the result we have here, but we are where we are as they say.

Don't go looking at me for rationale.

Thank you, Paco, as always my friend, for inviting me to come out to play, and for mastering the end result in the midst of untold techno-horror grief.  I hope your DAW world resolves itself very soon.

Socrates at Sundown

I lie bewildered, here, in my sphere of cubes,
On crushed silk cushions sprawled.
I sketch the cool Palladian dudes
In charcoal, on Aleutian walls.
They think I know what thoughts are theirs,
And beg to trade their graceless airs, 
But I left them there to climb their stairs
Ever downward through Athenian halls.

They say my knowledge is remiss,
The diabolical's back in town.
Seems ignorance is bliss
For this philosophical clown.
I'm seeking emptiness of mind,
That's where I hope to find
That old, old friend of mine,
Socrates, at sundown.

My associate, Plato knows the game
Survives through pretty dialogue
He suffocates but bestows his shame
On city states whose statutes fog
The heads of people in their ranks
Attentive on the Eridanos banks
Dispensing death by way of thanks
As justice shreds its cogs.

Deep mental grasp of social structure
No need to ever write it down
Accused outcast for youth's corrupture
Where the bleeding of democracy is bound
To seek the causal end of time
Of Aristotle and Nietzsche's kind
The men of Athens rendered blind
Killed that old, old friend of mine,
Socrates, at sundown.

Socrates At Sundown (with MidiSound)

The word nostalgia is a learned formation of a Greek compound, consisting of νόστος (nóstos), meaning "homecoming", a Homeric word, and ἄλγος (álgos), meaning "sorrow" or "despair"

NOSTALGIA - ΝΟΣΤΑΛΓΙΑ (432Hz)

This music goes with the 3rd chapter of a tale I'm writing and illustrating. I just published it here: https://ariad-music.com/textes/chapitre-3-guruguss/ It is in french, but I guess google translate or deepl can do a decent job for translating. This is the story of a headless character who explores the world of dreams in order to find again his head. In this third chapter, he discovers he's not alone in this situation and follows a guru. I did the music tonight with my keyboard, really simple, only MIDI/VST tracks. 

Quick resume to explain the music:
00:00 - 00:15: The headless character is happy, he believes he found his head.
00:15 - 01:30: His friend the magical bird reveals him that he just hallucinated. He tries to console him and bring him to the crooked city. 
01:30 - 03:40: The headless character find a group of headless people watching a show. He joins them and listen to a guru's speech.
03:40 - 07:10: Enchanted, he enters in the guru's spaceship, listen some of his bullshit speech and then realizes this sect is not great. The others reject him and he sees how shitty looks in reality their spaceship. 
07:10 - 07:40: Finally, even if he didn't find his head, he's happy like this.

On March 24, 1999, NATO launched an aerial bombardment campaign against Yugoslavia to put an end to the repression of the Albanian Kosovars, the first against a sovereign State in the Alliance's 50 years of existence, carried out without the authorization explicit from the UN, Russia, a historical ally of Belgrade, and China having opposed any resolution allowing military intervention.
This intervention will weigh very heavily for the rest of history because NATO's military intervention in the Kosovo crisis has been interpreted as a geopolitical coup led by a Western camp determined to marginalize Russia and its status as a member permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
NATO's approach to missile defense has been interpreted by Russia as an attempt to compromise its nuclear second-strike capability. Worse still, the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine and the "Roses Revolution" in Georgia brought to power elites who considered joining the EU and NATO.
The rest, we all know it as well as the probable decline of Europe which is very likely to be, once again, the playground for a new world war. 
What is SAD about this story IS THAT THERE IS NO ONE TO TALK ABOUT PEACE, JUST THE CONTRARY !!!
___________________________________________________
Le 24 mars 1999, l’OTAN lançait une campagne de bombardements aériens contre la Yougoslavie pour mettre un terme à la répression des Kosovars albanais, une première contre un État souverain en 50 ans d’existence de l’Alliance, menée sans l’autorisation explicite de l’ONU, la Russie, alliée historique de Belgrade, et la Chine s’étant opposées à toute résolution permettant une intervention militaire.
Cette intervention pèsera très lourd pour la suite de l'Histoire car l'intervention militaire de l'OTAN dans la crise du Kosovo a été interprétée comme un coup de force géopolitique mené par un camp occidental déterminé à marginaliser la Russie et son statut de membre permanent du Conseil de sécurité des Nations Unies.
L'approche de l'OTAN en matière de défense antimissile a été interprétée par la Russie comme une tentative de compromettre sa capacité de seconde frappe nucléaire. Pire encore, la "Révolution orange" en Ukraine et la "Révolution des roses" en Géorgie ont porté au pouvoir des élites qui envisageaient d'entrer dans l'UE et l'OTAN.
La suite, nous la connaissons tous ainsi que le déclin probable de l'Europe qui risque fort d'être, encore une fois, le terrain de jeu pour une nouvelle guerre mondiale.
Ce qui est TRISTE dans cette histoire, C'EST QU'IL N'Y A PERSONNE POUR PARLER DE PAIX, BIEN AU CONTRAIRE !!!

Europe Utopia - REMIX

THERE WERE TWO UGLY DUCKLINGS
SHARING THE SAME FANTASY
TWO LITTLE SISTERS LIKE ALMOST SIBLINGS
ONE WAS BARBARA THE OTHER MARY
CHACUNE PLUS TARD AURAIT SON MARI
QUI CHACUN S’APPELLERAIT JOE
COMME ÇA PAS DE JALOUSES PAS DE JALOUSIE
NI POUR BARBARA NI POUR MARY
AND THERE THEY WERE PLAYING HOUSE
STUFFING THEIR T-SHIRTS WITH TOWELS TO FIT
THE SILHOUETTE OF A CREDIBLE SPOUSE
BETTER THAN ANY FANCY OUTFIT
JOE ET JOE SERAIENT CAMIONNEURS
UN BON JOB POUR DEUX PETITS MARIS
ET TOUT ÇA FERAIT LE BONHEUR
DE BARBARA ET DE MARY
BUT WHILE THEY WERE FANTASIZING ABOUT
A FUTURE SO BRIGHT TWO BRIDES SO MERRY
THEIR MOTHER POPPED IN SAYING CUT IT OUT
TO BLUSHING BARBARA AND MARY
ET AVEC SES GROS SABOTS
AUTREMENT EN DÉCIDA LA VIE
PAS PLUS DE JOE EN VUE QUE DE JOE
NI POUR BARBARA NI POUR MARY
ULGY WHEN LITTLE PRETTY WHEN BIG
THAT’S WHAT GROWN-UPS USE TO SAY
FORGETTING THEMSELVES ONCE WERE KIDS
AND PROBABLY HOUSE THEY DID PLAY
BYE BYE JOE AND JOE

PLAYING HOUSE (Lyrics) song for Anja

Window to the afterlife

Remember when it mattered
Remember when you cared
Remember when it mattered
Remember when you cared

I see the window to the afterlife
A little glimpse of you and I
I'm in the hallway of the chosen ones
It all works out in the end

Days goes by ticking away 
in the dim moonlight
All those wasted years being shy
All in my gut, all a lie

Remember when it mattered
Remember when you cared
Remember when it mattered
Remember when you cared

Danger sets in on our prideful sin
We'll never be the same again
I'll set my watch an hour ahead
It all works out in the end

Help me see this to the end
I'm failing over and over again
Help me see this to the end
Better days for us ahead

Remember when it mattered
Remember when you cared
Remember when it mattered
Remember when you cared

I'm in the hallway of the chosen ones
It all works out in the end

saving up the things

Remember When It Mattered

Je pense que le titre dit tout, avec ces montées de chaleur extrême.

I think the title says it all, with those extreme heat rushes.

10 Degrees above!

10 Degrees Above!
