Ghosts In Naples (Neapolitan lullaby)

Bonsoir amis insomniaques,
Ce soir, nous allons parler du brutalisme, ce mouvement architectural que tout le monde semble connaitre sans vraiment savoir le nommer. Eléments centraux de nos paysages urbains, leur complexité est cependant moins évidente qu'il n'y parait...

Merci à Tony Beaufils pour avoir prêter sa voix.

Versets de Sang et de Cendres - Le Réveil De La Flamme

Slow dream track with electric piano arpeggios mixed with long echo/reverb guitars with main signal off to sound like a synth. Different time signatures produce a drifting sensation. Dream on.

First in a suite of tracks inspired by a walk along a wooded river bank in the summer. Some audio recordings taken on my phone add to the calming, relaxing atmosphere. Enjoy.

“Low Life” is a cinematic Icelandic post-rock composition where droning distorted guitar, choir textures, and the Heima String Kvartett merge into an overwhelming wall of sound. Within the density, delicate string melodies, church organ harmonies, and slow-moving atmospheric post rock dynamics create a piece that shifts from heavy and immersive to fragile and intimate.

Mike Taylor’s church organ anchors the track in a cathedral-like resonance, while the layered strings drift between modern classical minimalism and widescreen instrumental soundtrack music.
A powerful, textured work that captures the sound of volcanic landscapes, deep emotional pressure, and slow-burning eruption.

This is Icelandic post rock with strings, rooted in cinematic expression, drone guitar atmospheres, and a glacial sense of space.

Lyrics by David North:
Peace in my dreams
Sleep at night
Taken away my past for keeps
She went away
Nothing I say
She will never grow old
Story be told

On golden sands I walk upon
Tracks I leave behind
Reflectionsof the life we live
Never to be kind.

On golden sands I walk upon
Tracks I leave behind
The river is the life we live
Never to be kind.

The River is the Life we Live
