Tiempos

Undead rise up from the muddy grounds
Shadows lurking in the dead of night

Distorted minds and jaded deep within
Hand in hand in a world immersed in flames

Come and see...
And I saw and my eyes began to bleed
Come and see...
And I looked and I teared my eyes out

In a moment, in a dream we danced
As raindrops fell and washed away all fears
In dark hearts, a pure flame, of love
In this our moment before the end

Distorted minds and jaded deep within
Hand in hand in a world immersed in flames

Can you feel, the shifting? 
Can you feel the change that's coming... 

Everything's in motion, and soon everything will change
Life will tear the both of us apart
I'll follow you down my love, knowing all is gonna be ok...
We're falling yet ascending knowing all is gonna be ok... 

Come and see...
And I saw and my eyes began to bleed
Come and see...
And I looked and I teared my eyes out
Come and see

Come & see

Come And See

This is my version of a favourite song by a favourite artist - Celso Fonseca.

Slow Motion Bossa Nova (Cover)

Clair De Lune

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

More synthrock, but this time with a somewhat dirtier sound. All instruments except the drums are created on the Nord Stage 3. Played a little with feedback, as well as changed the attack on the main rhythmic synth live as I was playing. The lyrics are once again a mix of science and emotion using a black hole as a metaphor for a toxic relationship - seems to be a style that works for me.

INFINITE ATTRACTION

I can’t, I can’t break free
Oh no
I can’t, I can’t break free

A fine line pulling on my soul
As close as I could ever get
An unseen stronger than steel
At the point of no return

Light up all of your rockets
Switch on the burners, oh yeah
Let go of all of your emotions
You can spiral to the infinite
The infinite attraction

I can’t, I can't, I can't, I can't break free
I can’t, I can't, I can't, I can't break free

Bounce off a satellite to Houston
Switch on the radio, oh yeah
There’s no time for thinking
You could spiral to the infinite
The infinite attraction

I can’t, I can’t break free
Oh no
I can’t, I can’t break free

The cosmos is dragging me down
Once in there’s no getting out

It’s an infinite attraction
It’s an infinite attraction

Infinite Attraction

I had the pleasant surprise to receive a piano piece by Raphael Muhr (Paint-Germain) I thought it was very nice and fun to play, adding my own accompaniment, which Raphael was happy with...
I hope you will enjoy listening as much as I did playing it...

To listen to more of his beautiful music..

Bagatelle Für Klavier By Raphael Muhr

Gaz Brownie:  Vocals, Lyrics, Melody
Ben Juul:  Drums, Mix & Master
Dirk Taubenheim:  Guitars, Bass

I had this instrumental song in that typical Britpop - Rickenbacker sound and thought the best singer I could get was Gaz. Finally I dared to ask him and he accepted! The result is just amazing - thanks so much, Gaz. The story you wrote, the melody you created and the vocs you recorded are just great!

Nothing left to defend

Facing The Truth - Part 1 - Denial

Yard time. A bittersweet piece built on small harmonic ambiguities. On violin my friend  @Rosindust. We played a classical guitar, a violin, an electric bass, a piano and an ostinato digital oboe. 
Here the other pieces together: soundcloud.com/francescocartocci/sets/grazie-tatiana

The painting: Vincent van Gogh, Prisoners Exercising, 1890. An alienating round of prisoners. Above two small white butterflies, symbol of hope and freedom.

Composition and all arrangements: Francesco Cartocci

Mischievous Exploration

Christel was born in the Netherlands. At age ten, she taught herself to play the piano. In 2019 she discovered her passion for composing music. Although Christel has a love for many different music genres, the music she writes is mainly influenced by (neo)classical and cinematic music.

In 2021 she released her first album 'Watershed'. It is a collection of solo piano songs that reflect different moods. Whether it’s peaceful, uplifting, energetic, dramatic or epic, it’s always passionate. “I get really excited when I notice that my mood changes when I play a certain piece.”

‘Landslide’ is Christel’s second album. “I enthusiastically started writing new compositions for a new album. But I soon found myself in a difficult phase. Music is based on emotions and experiences and is always personal, so putting yourself out there feels very vulnerable. I felt like I wasn’t worth doing this, that I should give up. But at the same time, giving up didn’t feel right either. When I want to clear my mind I always take a walk in the woods near my house. There I like to listen to some music and admire the beauty in nature, using my imagination and fantasy. Sometimes I pretend God walks with me. During these walks I found new hope and inspiration. This album is about my journey through a ‘fairytale forest’. My journey of accepting these feelings without holding myself back, but to move forward instead.”
