My submission to the #DisquietJunto 553 with the assignment: Record in a steady tempo but break it on occasion. It's a simple 8-step sequence. Gates from the 5th and 7th step are sent through a Bernoulli gate, which is set to 10%, to the reset intput. So on avarage 1 in 10 times step number 5 and 6 are played and 1 in 100 step 7 and 8. The gate from step 8 is connected to the Stop-input and a cymbel-sound, so after on avarage 100 cycles the piece will end with a crash. Every first step moves the second sequence which moves the bass and the melody and chords with it. The result is a simple tune that would nicely disappear into the background, except every now and then something happens that makes you look up.

Break That Cycle (disquiet0553)

The sky is breaking from the
Heat of the sun
That's burning the mist off the sea
Another day with you has begun
Pour your warmth over me

Sunshine woman
You are my sunshine woman
No clouds with my sunshine woman
No rain with my sunshine woman

The way that you walk  
Is like liquid sunlight
Through leaves on a summer day
Dancing across 
This old wooden floor
A beautiful ballet

Under magnolia trees
We walk hand in hand
It's one ten in the shade
Old dog's so hot
He doesn't care if it's
Fahrenheit or centigrade

There's a darkness grows
In the hearts of men
Who knows what keeps it there
You have the way
To fill me with light
A breath of sweet summer air

When winter lies deep
Hard on the dawn
Like steel inside your head
Remember the times
Our hair was bleached gold
And our days were chromium red

Sunshine Woman

According to mythbusting site Snopes, the ‘Crying Baby' Serial Killer Victim Lure is an urban myth, circulating since January 2003, purportedly relating to a serial killer operating in the Baton Rouge area of Louisiana, USA. It suggested the killer would leave a doll rigged with a tape recording of a crying baby on the doorsteps of lone women, to lure them out.  Coincidentally two later-convicted serial killers *were* independently operating there at this time, though neither used the ruse.

Corruption is any dishonest or fraudulent behavior wherein someone uses their position of power to benefit themselves at the expense of others. The entity can be an individual, corporation, or government. This can come in the form of giving or taking bribes, double-dealing, and defrauding investors among other actions.


Presenting my latest production "Corporate Hijacker"

Original lyrics by Heidi-Marie
In a crowded room

Welcome to the room

In a world of suits and ties,
where the power is the game
there’s a rebel rising up
refusing to be tamed

I’m the corporate hijacker
breaking through the walls
Unveiling deception, exposing their false calls

THey thought they could control us,
manipulate our minds
But we won’t be silenced, we’ll leave them all behind
With our voices United
we’ll tear down their disguise
No longer bound by their rules, we’ll rise up to the skies

We’re the corporate hijackers
fighting for what’s right
Taking back the power 
bringing darkenss into light
Their greed and corruption won’t stand in our way

We’ll reclaim our freedom
let justice have its say

They thought they held the keys
to our dreams
our desires

But we won’t be confined, fueling their burning fires
We expose their exploitation,
their schemes and their lies
Uniting all the voices, we’ll make them realise

They thought they could control us, 
manipulate our minds
But we won’t be silenced
we’ll leave 
them all
behind

WIth our voices united
we’ll tear them down
their disguise
No longer bound by their rules, we’ll rise up to the skies

Corporate Hijackers
fighting for what’s right
Taking back the power
bringing darkness
into light

Their greed and corruption won’t stand in our way
W’ll reclaim our freedom
let justtice
have its say

No more manipulation
no more lies

We’ll break their chains, reaching for the skies
together we’re stronger we won’t back down
The Corporate hijackers,
wearing victory as our crown
So raise your voice
join the fight
we’ll rewrite the narrative
set the world
alight
The corporate hijackers
taking back control
Together we’ll prevail
and free the corporate soul

Corporate Hijacker
