Life is complex, decisions are difficult, so I thought that flipping a bitcoin might help with that. Not sure of the science behind this but it was a lot of fun to  write ! https://youtu.be/Wn1euVtmcOw


A left or a right, I don’t know
A left or a right, I don’t know
Stroke a jawbone
Flip a bitcoin
That’s the sure way to know

Heading for heartache or gold
Heading for heartache or gold
Hard to decide
When to colour your blind
The red or the yellow brick road

Flip a bitcoin
Flip a bitcoin
Flip a bitcoin
So you don’t get purloined
Flip a bitcoin
Flip it again
One more time
Or the best out of ten

The red or the yellow brick road
The red or the yellow brick road
Don’t get purloined
Just flip a bitcoin…….

That’s the sure way to know

Voici une pièce que j'ai faite il y a un certain moment avec Gary Courtland-Miles (Anomon).  Il m'a demandé si je pouvais ajouter des orchestrations sur une de ses magnifiques pièces de piano.  Sur le thème de l'Amour et l'importance de sa place dans nos vies.

Here's a piece I did some time ago with Gary Courtland-Miles (Anomon).  He asked me if I could add orchestrations on one of his beautiful and heartfelt piano pieces.  This is all about Love and the importance of it in our lives.

Ave Maria by Paolo Tosti +
Nadia Selvaggi, voice & piano
Remixed 2023

Paolo Tosti (1846-1916) was an enormously popular songwriter in three languages. Born in Ortona, Italy, he toiled in obscurity until he moved to Rome and secured the patronage of composer Giovanni Sgambati. His performances quickly impressed the future queen of Italy, and his trip to England became a huge success that made him the singing teacher to that country’s royal family. He was knighted by the British crown in 1906. https://genius.com/artists/Francesco-paolo-tosti

Ave Maria (Paolo Tosti)
Per le fulgenti cupole dorate
la melodia dell'organo suonova;
lento moriva il dì sulle vetrate;
una nube d'inceso al ciel volava,
e dolcemente da ogni labbro uscia:
Ave Maria.
 
Nella blanda mestizia di quell'ora
tutta serenità di paradiso,
il cavaliere che sospiro ognora
m'apparve, e a lungo ci guardammo in viso:
fu vana allora la preghiera mia,
Ave Maria.
 
Dall'azzurro del ciel stendi la mano
a me infelice dal dolore affranta;
deh! ch'io non pianga e non t'invochi invano,
arridi all'amor mio, Vergine santa:
abbi pietà di me, Vergine pia.
Ave Maria.

The Alpha and The Omega Acoustic

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.

Lyrics:

Unveiling of the night
Leaves a misty moon 
In the morning light
Driving in my car 
I know what’s up ahead
And seeking what’s behind

Floating down I’m lost within this feeling
As your sweet sweet words own all meaning
I’m in trouble....

Chorus
Chances are... you’ll stare at the same moon
Chances are... you’re needing my love too 
I can see your lights are on,
As I’m passing on your line
Chances are... I’ll give in one more time
Chances are......Chances are....

Memories rewind like a broken film
Taking me through time
Wish I had a dime for every time I said
I’m leaving it behind

It’s no use, I’m locked within this feeling
‘Cause your sweet sweet words ...
Owns all meaning ...  I’m in trouble..

Chorus
Chances are...my phone will play a tune
Chances are... you’ll sway me like you do
It’s a game the fates keep playing 
And It’s playing you and I
Chances are... 
the road will lead me to your arms tonight ..  
Chances are...   
Chances are...   
Chances are.

Chances

Chances Are

Walking through the pitch black night your other senses are heightened. Finding the hope and beauty in a frightening situation.

Theory Notes: makes a lot of use of mixolydian/lydian hybrids and whole tones scales as well as tone rows to get a dreamy chromatic effect. Some influences are Debussy, Ravel, Chopin, Scriabin, and Uematsu.

For me the repeating right hand figure has an immersive effect.

Starless Night
