TRUTH RAY - ASTRAL YOUTH

Voice and acoustic guitar: David Dunham
Music composition, piano and electronic strings: Michele Ansani

Those recited by David are verses from one of the most famous poems and one of the greatest Italian poets of the 20th century (Eugenio Montale). They are taken from the collection entitled ‘Ossi di seppia’ ('The bones of cuttlefish'), published in Italy in 1925, and several times translated into English (alone or together with other works by Montale).
Many thanks to David (@david-dunhamuser589535203), who agreed to collaborate on this little creation, also adding his refined guitar phrasing. All the (usual) imperfections are mine.

Lyrics (ENGLISH / ORIGINAL ITALIAN)

Perhaps one morning going alone in the air of glass,
arid, lookin back, I shall see, with the terror
of a drunken man, the making of a miracle:
nothingness at my shoulders, the void behind me.

Then as on a screen, suddenly, trees houses hills
will assemble themselves for the usual deception.
But it will be too late; and I shall go on, quiet,
with my secret, among the men who do not turn

---

Forse un mattino andando in un’aria di vetro,
arida, rivolgendomi, vedrò compirsi il miracolo:
il nulla alle mie spalle, il vuoto dietro
di me, con un terrore di ubriaco.

Poi come s’uno schermo, s’accamperanno di gitto
alberi case colli per l’inganno consueto.
Ma sarà troppo tardi; ed io me ne andrò zitto
tra gli uomini che non si voltano, col mio segreto.

The wacky adventures of Inspector Looso - New Fetchflix TV Show

soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-wacky-adventures-of

After escaping from Baroness Desire Organa sadomasochist lair while she was delivering a weird speech, Inspector Looso spent a week trying to understand what seemed to be at first glance a load of pornophonic gibberish words. Thinking that his brain had the power of the Enigma encrypting machine his understanding was that Baroness Desiré Organa provided him the route to the Phantom’s Holy Grail. Since his Citroën 2CV engine was dead, he decided to take his father’s Helicron car build in 1932. However, The Phantom hired the famous private investigator Mr. Peebody to ensure that Looso would not be after him anymore. According to the decryption of the Baroness speech the route should start at Anus in the commune of Fouronnes. Then he had to go to Sainte-Reine in France at the intersection of La Chatte and Le Fion. Then to Montcuq in the commune of Montcuq-en-Quercy-Blanc. Then to Monteton in the department of Lot-et-Garonne to finally arrive at Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Porc close to the Spanish border. However, Mr. Peebody’s goal was to throw Looso out of the road in the twisty roads between Monteton and Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Porc. Looso resists Mr. Peebody’s assaults and went full throttle thinking that his father’s Helicron was a flying car. He indeed went air born for a while after leaving the road in a curve but ended his flight in a pond as ungracefully as Orville Wright crashing the Flyer in 1908. Will Looso survive to this wacky adventure?

Musical Notes: I mostly borrowed the orchestral texture and rhythmic from Prokofiev again but probably others. Let me know who.


Chased by Mr Peebody

The third song from my new instrumental EP called INK. A soundtrack for dark nights and bright lights.

Quill

times are hard
and you keep crying.
i wanna keep going,
but you've stopped trying.
it tears me apart,
it's breaking my heart.
you're out of range 
and you can't change.

Out of range.

There Is Nothing I Can Do

Baby, please, will you come accompany me 
to the beach? Let's have ourselves a little scene.
We're free. In need. Let's take some golden teachers and weed,
my guitar and a backpack full of beers. Release.
You. Me. The sand. The sun. The sea and the breeze.
My, we've found a way from underneath 
all the pressures of this life and found peace.
Please, oh, please, stay with me and never leave. 

But as the sun begins to recede over the horizon I fear
tomorrow and the shit it may bring. Thoughts I've tried to make disappear. 
So I'll sit here, strum out and I'll sing until this negativity's clear.
And watch the sunset with my sweetie sittin' near. She's so sincere 

and sweet. Baby, shall we begin our retreat
to our sheets, now that daylight is bleak?
Don't speak. Meet me in a place that's deep
where we can share a love that's so unique. 

And when I wake with you next to me, I know I'll have nothing to fear.
You set my heart and mind, both, at ease each and every time that you're near.
Together we'll find eternal peace.
Into ourselves, disappear.
Perhaps, 'til one of us is deceased.
Then what? Rearview mirror?


release

... little musical sketch - completely done with (quite clever) VSTs ...
Of course something can be changed, although the major brutal upheavals raise doubts .... Hoping alone does not help, of course ;-)
Let's hope the future is open for good turns!
... wishing a good 2025 !

Can we turn the tide?

basic copyright on all tracks.
all of the tracks on here are made with a 12 track boss digital recorder.      to make some sounds more spacious such as the main chords and melodies i have to use 2 tracks at the same time. this is why i try to keep my tracks short because i can only use a limited number of sounds. if i use 2 tracks for bass, drums, chords and melody it only leaves me with 4 tracks for effects and secondary melodies. i prefer to record only one sound on the channels allocated as this avoids problems with volume levels.  i'm not a great musician, but i am also not very good with computers, so this is the only way i can demonstrate my musical ideas.  a big thank you to everyone who listens and comments.........and especially those who like.

Out of range.
