Quiet Angels (2022) ER TK-174

Der Hamburger Hafen erscheint manchmal wie ein mystischer Ort wenn die Morgendämmerung einsetzt und der tagsüber so betriebsame Ort wie ein stiller Riese langsam aus seinem Schlaf erwacht. Wenn Nebelschwaden die Hafenkräne zu verhüllen scheinen und diese Ihre Hälse wie Giraffen in den Himmel recken, dann ist es November in Hamburg

The Port of Hamburg sometimes seems like a mystical place when the dawn begins and the place, so busy during daytime slowly wakes up from its sleep like a quiet giant . When clouds of fog seem to cover the port cranes and they stretch their necks into the sky like giraffes then it is November in Hamburg.

November in Hamburg

Dedicated to all those who do ridiculous idiotic dangerous things in order to go viral in the internet.

*** Going Viral ***

McLuhan's vision of a global village has now become reality.
I've got ideas, but, with so many talking, they are now really hard to sell.
Although today, with so many listening, it's a wonderful time to tell.

Wake up my love!
Let's praise this morning to the world, and let's go viral!
Let's post our unquenched thirst for knowledge!
Let's tap the limits of what is possible!
I've got the perfect research area:
Let's try to ignite our noisy flatulences!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition...

Oh! Davy lamps that lighten our dark coal mines,
why didn't we take your sound advice?
So now we're staying at the hospital emergencies,
stuttering embarrassing explanations.
It was just another tragedy of science:
The slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.

But all is well, my love.
We did went viral!...

Lyrics:
Modern Times

Verse 1

Am I playing the wrong game —- where losing’s a crime
Time’s just not the same—-and there’s no one here to blame
In these modern times——where machines reigns supreme 
breaking all the chains——-to fulfill my dreams
————And that’s a solid —because—- yeah—— I’m back————-
Metaphors and rhymes——-my weapons on this track
Modulating -from the underground ——one culture one voice
And we’re —-wired in like teeth—-like we—-ever—-had a choice

Chorus

Modern times---- a difficult maze
Where screens captivate —— the Information Age
And—-We're all connected——yet we’re—also——-alone
Lost in a sea of pixels----hearts ———-—cold as stone
Modern times————Modern times ——-Modern times

Verse 2

Smartphones--at our side—-our constant companions
That double-edged sword—-has become ——-part of the norm
buzzing Notifications——like a relentless swarm
Distracting —us ——-from moments —-another task ——to perform 
Just another monster ———taking physical form

**Chorus**

Bridge

Artificial intelligence--- a marvel and a threat
Replacing human minds--- leaving us —-deep in debt
Algorithms —-determine our fate—without regret—-
Like marionettes ———or puppets on a strings
Manipulating our thoughts——damn—we are feeding these things

Verse 3

Social media——-a stage ——for the soul to bare
Beneath the surface——lies ——and deceptions —-are clear
We curate our lives——-like a perfect facade
our true selves———pushed aside ——in total disregard

**Chorus**

Outro

In this digital age---we must find our way
Embracing the power——with a huge price to pay
There’s a balance for the screens —-in real life
With the key to our future——a new vision insight

Modern Times Vocals 150 BPM

The song was a collaboration between Axel Menningen and myself. Axel passed me his backing track with a that really catchy solo.

Lyrics

I just can’t let it go, and somehow, she knows.
Letting her go it’s breaking my soul.
Can’t even hide, those feelings inside.

Oh, I know, that I’ve no hope.
So hey, can’t I just be, the one that she’ll see.
Taking a chance on me.
 
He sees that girl and he wants much more. 

Oh hey. what is the magic of this girl.    (She’s the one I’ll always love)
I don’t have to save the world.           (She steals my heart as I turn around)
 I just want to love the Girl.                             (Oh yeah)
Oh hey. what is the magic of this world.           (She’s the one I’ll always love)
To fall in love, just fall in love like me. 

So hey, let’s hope.

So today I will be the boy that she sees.
 taking a chance to be.

He sees that girl and he wants much more. 

(Oh, she’s the one I’ll always love)
(She steals my heart as I turn around)
(Oh Yeah, she’s the one I’ll always love)

When I close my eyes, then I can see the truth.
When I see that smile, and the light shines through.
And with my open eyes, then I can see just you.
When I see that smile, I’m in love that’s true.

Oh hey, what is the magic of this girl.  
I don’t have to save the world 
I just want to love the Girl.   
Oh hey. what is the magic of this world.                
To fall in love, just fall in love like me.

OBFUSCATED by Paploviante // Alto Sax Remix

Is there a future for all of humanity? Or have we passed the breaking point. Everyone is looking for light, joy, a clean and beautiful planet, etc. And to be content. Is it possible, and will we reach this beautiful shiny dream world, or are we a dying breed?

We Solve Most Things If We Talk

Summer rain finds my face, splashing through my smile
Thunder rumbles fall away, storm is phasing through
Peace of mind is on the case, misery is in denial,
Yesterday’s squally day, tomorrow’s skies are azure blue.

Dreams of history’s tension gladly start to ease
Gripping claws of lunacy finally shun the past
Seems things turned out badly for hunger and disease
Slipping towards unity, laying down the guns at last.

Call my neighbour as my friend, our meanings line as one
Colour, gods and politics accepted as they are
Mutualities to defend no conflict clouds our shining sun
Consideration and respect, a communal repertoire

Mother Mary called today
Handed me a flower stalk
Kissed my worries clean away
We solve most things if we talk.

Need as might we understand equality’s a bed of lies
Celebrate uniqueness as a cast of human thread
Day and night, hand in hand, no polity compromise
Learning from our weakness past, focused on the light ahead.

Mother Mary spoke today
Led me on a learning walk
Eased my troubles on the way
We solve most things if we talk.

Mother Mary sang today
Left me with a simple thought
The wisest heads will simply say
We solve most things if we talk.

The Incredible Airship

„Guitar Staccatissimo“  - Zweiter Satz „Der Gitarrist“ 
in spanisch übersetzt „El Guitarrista“. (04.08.2024 )

Der zweite Satz einer „Gitarren Suite“ 
Dieses Stück ist eine erweiterte Interpretation des ersten Satzes der in der Tat fast die gleiche 
Komposition ist. Dennoch ist er um ein paar musikalische Nuancen bereichert worden.
Eine kleine poetische Reminiszenz an das Juwel Andalusien und einen einsamen Gitarristen.  
Thema : 
Ein Gitarrist lässt seinen Gefühlen freien Lauf. 
Traumversunken spielt und spürt er die rhythmische Poesie seiner Heimat.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

“Guitar Staccatissimo” - Second movement “The Guitarist”
translated into Spanish “El Guitarrista”. (04.08.2024 )

The second movement of a “Guitar Suite”
This piece is an extended interpretation of the first movement, which is in fact almost the same
composition. Nevertheless, it has been enriched with a few musical nuances.

A small poetic reminiscence of the jewel of Andalusia and a lonely guitarist.
Theme:
A guitarist lets his feelings run free.
Lost in a dream, he plays and feels the rhythmic poetry of his homeland.

Thank you for your valued attention.

Senorita (2021) Anthology CD2 Track 06

Willkommen in meiner Welt  ( Wolke ) der Musik.
Projekt : Modern Philharmonic & Charism Voices

Von Anbeginn meiner Zeit fühle und denke ich in Musik. 
Das ist es. 
Ich finde meine hier veröffentlichten Kompositionen vermitteln das.  
Obwohl ich etwas Klavierunterricht hatte komponiere ich autodidaktisch, völlig frei im Moment.  
Nicht immer sind es gefällige Harmonien. Versucht meine Musik einfach unvoreingenommen und völlig wertfrei von Euren Hörgewohnheiten zu hören.

Folgt gerne meiner Klangwelt. 
Freue mich über meinen Musik-Account auf einen regen, kreativen inspirierenden Gedankenaustausch. 
Suche hier gleichgesinnte Sounddesigner*innen und Komponisten*innen die vielleicht mit mir ein verrücktes Klangteam bilden möchten um neue Klangwelten zu entdecken und kreieren.

Welcome to my world  ( Cloud ) of music.

From the beginning of my time feel and think in music.
That's it.
I think my compositions published here convey that.
Although I had some piano lessons, I compose self-taught, completely free at the moment.
It's not always pleasing harmonies. Just try to listen to my music unbiased and completely unjudged by your listening habits.

Feel free to follow my sound world.
I'm looking forward to a lively, creative and inspiring exchange of ideas via my music account.
I am looking for like-minded sound designers and composers who might want to form a crazy sound team with me to discover and create new worlds of sound.
