This is fantastic - love your sound. And the guitars…😲🤘🏾

very comfortable rhythm.  Like the beat the guitar started in with. Really good production.

Some great songs from some Fantastic Artist's/Bands and a few of my own.

The Social Distance

UNMANNED 2021

Piece inspired by romanticism in the city: love within concrete walls, poetry beneath artificial light...

Three vocal parts (translated lyrics below) became in very different moods in the songwriter phase, so I couldn't fit them in the same tempo. Working hard on transitions, I got the following solution:

Intro: ad libitum
A: 6/4 & 5/4 at 147bpm
B: 4/4 at 220bpm
C: 4/4 at 293bpm

Such ABC pattern is repeated twice, structured with some city scenes, and 2nd 'C' part includes a guitar soloing lesson by https://soundcloud.com/paco-ray, old friend of mine, technical consultor and personal luthier ;)

LETRA / LYRICS:

DAS VIDA A MI CIUDAD      /      YOU GIVE LIFE TO MY CITY

En la ciudad donde vivo,     /   In the city where I live,
llena de romanticismo,       /   full of romanticism,
el cariño que has perdido    /   the affection you have lost,
ven a buscarlo conmigo.      /   come to look for it with me.

Las farolas en la acera,    /    The lamps along the sidewalk,
con su fija alternativa,    /    with their constant alternation,
iluminan, no iluminan,      /    illuminate, do not illuminate,
el escenario de mi vida.     /   the stage of my life.

Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize.
Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de sentir amor. /  we are able to feel love.

Caminando sobre asfalto,   /     Walking on asphalt,
abrazado a tu cadera,     /      held on your hip,
entre coches aparcados,     /    amid parked cars,
duerme la ciudad entera.    /    the entire city sleeps.

Eres tú toda la vida      /      You are all the life
que esta ciudad necesita,   /    that this city needs,
compartiendo cada esquina,   /   sharing every corner,
calles de melancolía...     /    streets of melancholy...

Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize.
Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de sentir amor.  / we are able to feel love.

Das vida a mi ciudad (2nd solo by Paco Ray)

UnBoxed October 2024

How do you measure someone's "worth"? Is there even such a metric?
I think there is. It is something beyond wealth or posesions because these things are at best of make believe value: temporary,fickle,transient. How much is a dutch tulip bulb worth today??
What one does to build a better,more secure,more equitable world with less stress and conflict..that is something worth measuring

lyrics

If all you want is more
then you'll never have enough
you won't know where you are
you won't know when to stop

flying blind with no controls
you grab at shadows in the dark
things you want not things you need
you fill your boat till it won't float

leaving all you love behind
because you didn't realize what you've got
you don't take time to think or listen or to talk

your path's the same as all the rest
It starts with birth and ends with death
what you do along the way
defines your legacy

not what you own
or what you stole
or who you conned with falsehoods told

bridges built not bridges burnt
is what will define your life
who you helped not who you hurt
will tell us what you were worth

what are you worth?

Dark Mind

This composition presents you with a musical plateform that represents you calling out to your  past family, friends or people you have felt a bond with,or who are experiencing hardship.
The Sad Souls are captured in the -Celo, flute and piano.
The Happy responses are felt in the guitar and piano
I hope you can relate to this composition as it allows you to  create your vision.

My Soul cries out for you

method: many instruments, many modulations and distortions, all over the place and insisting on intensity
narration: this is not supposed to be a 'beautiful' track:  although much dismayed, you sometimes need lofi skillsets, esp when the skin has worn thin; of course LOFI is also an anagram of FOIL  - those two go together (although this voice is single and as detached as distorted by proximity, it responds to extremely varied circumstance)

poem / copyright jo richter:

listening in
to devices conversing
sound's crocodile skin
revealing, reversing

voynich values
crosschannels bleed
blowing the fuse
as valves overheat

lofi skillset

We all have hopes and dreams and items on our bucket list
And sometimes we go to bat and we swing and we miss
It’s easy to get discouraged and find an excuse to quit
It’s easy to walk away and decide not to commit

If every day you wake up and you rinse and you repeat
And you play the same old song with the same old tired beat
It’s time to shake things up
It’s time to stir the pot
It’s time to dust off your dreams and give it your best shot

Sometimes it feels like the world is spinning out of control
You try to make the world a better place but you keep digging a deeper hole
Sometimes it feels like the game is rigged and the odds are stacked against you
And you’re not sure you want to take a bite cause it’s more than you can chew

You can try to be an ant, or you can try to be a grasshopper 
But maybe it’s better to be somewhere in between

Food clothing and shelter
Once those needs are satisfied
Some people just like to kick back and enjoy the ride

Some people don’t know when to stop
They just want more and more

Sometimes you just gotta keep on slogging through the mud
And think happy thoughts as you try to ignore the crud
Hold your breath and try your best not to notice the bad smell
Pretend that you’re in heaven when it feels like you’re in hell

If every day you wake up and you rinse and you repeat
And you play the same old song with the same old tired beat
It’s time to shake things up
It’s time to stir the pot
It’s time to dust off your dreams and give it your best shot

You gotta stir the pot, you gotta stir the pot, sometimes you gotta stir the pot.

Stir The Pot

Pipers was supposed to be part of a 'triptych' but now has ended up being a 'polyptych'...

Dall-E SUCKS as there are no explosions going on in the image, as the prompts were blocked due to "unsafe image content detected" (explosion)

Explosions were part of the track...as artists we should be able to express what we want without regard to some algorithm dictated by our 'betters"...

LOOK WITHIN:

If hearts were made of steel
We’d forge them to the shapes we wished
If eyes were X-rays
We’d see the pitfalls at our feet

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control!

If tongues were silver white 
All our words would come out right
If ears were angels wings
We’d only hear the best of things

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
All we ever can control……..

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow

If spines were carved of oak
Their strength would serve to make us bold
If feet were light as air
We’d rise above all things unfair….

Inhale and sense the scent of danger
All these things combine to make us
Is anything as intriguing
When we can touch it’s mystery..?

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control!

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow...
The rest will follow...
