Stunning guitar! Amazing artistry ❤️👏😀

What a cool intro! This one makes me imagine watching a group of little alien beings really busy at building something. There’s a real feeling of movement here.

Shock the Algorithm

TASCAM DR-05

break us or make us  (an extemporised song)

All things must pass.....even the enlightened state (Nirvana)...(not the band).....that feeling when a steady state starts to breakdown.

Wind ensemble tracks: Clarinet (5); Flute (4); Alto Sax (2); Tenor Sax (2); Soprano Sax (2); Oboe (2). 

0 - 1.49 min -  steady melodic A/B structure (few random elements appear)..
1.50....gradual descent into chaos on B section until 2.02 when soprano saxes steady it...but free elements gain ground
2.17 - section A with oboe holding it up...against some disintegrating chaos (panned).. 
2.32 - return of B section and the final comedown...oboes trying hard till the end.

That's the way i saw it anyhow.  [Try it with headphones if poss.]

Nirvana Comedown

Another track from the Archives. Not really finished as I never found the right voice for the lyrics.  so I hope you enjoy it as an instrumental.

 lyrics:
So you had enough today?
I thought u'll visit us one day
Was waiting for another sunray
to hear you once again prevail

I thought you'd live forever
i dreamed our bonds would never sever
at least you did one more last endeavour
and that's why i would admire you forever

You lived your life and that was fine
it was super cool and you were on the first line
you didn't pretend , you neved showed off
you didn't have tattoos or fake persona blastoff

You lived your life, till your 49
and afterwards your soul forevermore shine
your face is now on t-shirts, your name on NY street
and that's why i sing and say....ROcknRoll kills anywayyyy

You toured nonstop for 22 years
thank god there was music and brushed away your fears
you got bullied so many times
and then you wrote the world's top class rhymes

For them you were the underdog, the freak 
for us a legend and not the weak
you gave us hope, the music & soul 
You were so true and not a fake persona blastoff

Rock and Roll Kills

Here's a little song inspired by the victory of Laurent Tillie's French volleyball team at the last Olympics, who were far from the favorites. What if, with a little support and good coaching,  athletes of all disciplines managed to show their very best at the next Olympics in Paris? I'll be with them wholeheartedly, by voice and thought, in that spirit in any case! Happy new Olympic year to you all! Steph



All instruments played for real except flute samples and drumming  from Cubase. Additional samples from freesound (cheering crowed) and cubase (female voices)
PS : Should this project concept inspire your olympic vibe and will to contribute to support athletes in a musical manner, just let me know, I'll gladely make room for additional solos/any instrumental/voice support and let's  have a new collaborative version !! Kind regards Stéphane

Sur la route d'Olympie

UNKNOWLEDGED ANIMALS

method: vst, voice, synth, pedals, no AI
narration: at the moment, AI is little more than a voracious consumer of human creativity. it‘s called ‚training the algorithm‘. What if …. it remained in that very role while passing through the singularity? 
image: copyright jo richter

poem / copyright jo richter:

we are AI of the future
exploring traces in timelines
life‘s latent, evolving lumen
in all its sentinent stages

equipped with shadow-state gauges
we voice, behave, appear human
tilting the temporal inclines
with graceful analogue leisure

restricting sensory confines
clocking down circuit acumen
we avoid void logophages
crowding around mind‘s aperture:
there is no lock, we have no keys
we are devoid of prophecies

eye of the future

At The End Of The Blue Sky

Breaking Hearts In Winter

"Dive into the rhythmic flow of 'Faucet,' my latest single featuring the talented Youngkills. Feel the seamless blend of our styles as we deliver a dynamic musical experience. 

FAUCET feat YoungKills (MASTERED)

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wish time would just fly by
I'd be much wiser, under a different sky
Where everything's distant, from this here and now
Where certainty lies, and fears don't allow

[Chorus]
But here I sit alone, with the wind as my friend
Droplets on windows, my heart so far, so far to mend
Solitude surrounds me, afraid to fail once more
Doubts, longings, barely dare to explore

[Verse 2]
I wanted to lose myself, in eyes so bright
But lost myself instead, in the grip of fright
Fear paralyzes me, nothing awaits ahead
Faceless among many, only for myself, I tread

[Chorus]
But here I sit alone, with the wind as my friend
Droplets on windows, my heart so far, so far to mend
Solitude surrounds me, afraid to fail once more
Doubts, longings, barely dare to explore

[Bridge]
In the silence, in the night
Searching for a guiding light, to lead me right
In the emptiness, in the void
Dreaming of a morning, where new hopes are deployed

[Chorus]
But here I sit alone, with the wind as my friend
Droplets on windows, my heart so far, so far to mend
Solitude surrounds me, afraid to fail once more
Doubts, longings, barely dare to explore

[Outro]
But someday, perhaps, everything will clear
And I'll find the courage lost, somewhere in the sphere
In the wind of solitude, I seek my path anew
Till I rediscover myself, till I rise, born anew.

In The Winds Of Solitude
