you won't know 'til you know
you can't say that you know
'cause you never know
we live, breathe, eat, dream
regretting nothing in between
'cause you never know
no you never know
'cause you never know
right here
the best made plans can
lead to face plants

Music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxGOsGtivJY
Humans seem to think they need to 'tame' nature, that it needs to be controlled,  and things like trees, insects, wildlife, animals are ranked on their 'usefulness' to humans, but they should not have to have a reason or purpose to exist- they should just live and be because why should their existence be measured to suit humans?
Be the person who sees all life as important, all the way from the grass you walk on, to the insects that we can't live without, to what you are eating, and the journey of how it got there.
Please think twice about what chemicals you put on your lawn just to rid so- called 'weeds', which happen to be so so beautiful if you can alter your way of thinking. My happeist times are sitting in my garden watching buzzing bees and insects flying round, I don't need to interfere in their homes, I want them to thrive. 
Most people continue doing what they do, because they've always done it. but it's a really good idea to educate yourself about the environment, its good to change your mind and see things differently, just because everyone is doing it, doesn't mean they are right.

Lyrics

Pretty and pretty wild
When you leave it alone
Yellow and lilac and absolute

Let the weeds grow
Let the flowers grow
Just leave it alone
Put the chemicals away
And watch it all grow
Let the weeds grow

Hello I am noticing you
Just being and being and being
Existence doens't need to be justified
A joy and a love not confound

Let the weeds grow
Let the flowers grow
Just leave it alone
Put the chemicals away
And watch it all grow
Let the weeds grow

Pretty is so pretty can be wise
Dancing in all kinds of lights
Intuitive this magic never ends
You don't need to control anything

Let the weeds grow
Let the flowers grow
Just leave it alone
Put the chemicals away
And watch it all grow
Let the weeds grow

Motion X - Poison Dream - Recorded 4/21/20

Poison Dream

Motion X - Poison Dream

Like the short lyrics' meaning "love has no hurry", music makes contrasts on rhythms and textures even inside each part: Main theme starts with fast drums on slow melodies & has a DANCEABLE? 2nd part with lead bass guitar; Central theme makes fast tracks become slow to the left channel and vice-versa, progressing to a POST-ROCK? atmosphere. Meanwhile, two lead guitars and echoing voices complete the contrasting piece. I hope to get your feedback !!!

Letra / lyrics: No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

No hace falta darse prisa; / There is no need to hurry up;
todo va rápido. / everything goes fast.

No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

Lo que ha de suceder / What is to happen
termina por ocurrir. / gets to happen in the end.

No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

Te quiero, te quiero, … / I love you, I love you, …

Ser impaciente / Being impatient
sólo puede hacerme sufrir. / can only make me suffer.

No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

No hay prisa (Te quiero)

COMPOSED AND PLAYED BY DS 2015-2016 using keyboards, organ, distorted electric guitars, acoustic guitars, midi-played bass, percussion & drum pads (and drum loops).
SPECIAL THANKS: to @tolubai for valuable feedback during the development phase.
* * * 
In the mood for something easy, clear-cut, and straightforward? Look elsewhere. EarthShine is a dark, experimental and slightly dissonant piece; clearly not intended for the charts, and with a rather unclear purpose ... (which, by the way, is entirely to the liking of the composer, with his evidently rather odd taste).

Initially concieved as a PRELUDE to the two-part instrumental published earlier (https://soundcloud.com/davidjsvensson/long-instrumental-part1draft-ds2015), taking one of the main themes into another iteration, in new directions.

The main theme, the slightly dissonant opening theme (based on a Gminor chord over the bass note H, followed by a Hminor chord), gets evolved into the more harmonical organ/synth sequence appearing multiple times in the final, thus ending this piece (and the entire suite) on a more positive note.

* * *

The rather odd music was partly inspired by ideas and discussions in 'Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies' (www.nickbostrom.com, Oxford University); a remarkable work apparently taken very seriously by e.g., B. Gates, and respected scientists such as M. Tegmark, S. Hawkings, and M. Rees.

"Artificial intelligence already outperforms human intelligence in many domains" [p.11]. Still, the idea of an intelligence explosion occuring in our life time is to many laughable, and, clearly, it is unknown if it can occur at all; we only know that Nature once rigged materia in such as way that high intelligence emerged (i.e., us) [insert your own interpretation here].

Some would argue that there are much else in the world to worry about first; but, is this a new kind of Manhattan Project actually coming up on the horizon, with potentially far-fetching existential consequences for Mankind?

It remains to be seen if it was correct to end the music with some hope.

Forest for the Trees

License this track

Pan was a lascivious Satyr of the mountains and the God of the Shepherds and the Flocks. His main task was to render the flocks fertile.
Of course, this mythical character relates to a fragment of the human psyche, which if given free rein...often shepherds those under "his" spell through the garden of delights, leaving them to repent at their leisure.

Here is also an attempt a composition in the Dorian Mode.
I don't really know if I even got close.
It was my best guess.

You may notice that the underlying rhythm is 8/8,
while the overlaid melodies are 3/4.

I tried to capture the dawn of a forest,when the first sun rays wakes every living creature of the forest,this is basically how i would like to wake up every morning,if you listen carefully you can hear bird tweeting in the beginning.
I dedicate this track to a Soundcloud user I met last year,his work is really good,experienced composer that gave me the motivation I needed at the time.
Thank you Luppi Davide Como,hopefully one day ill compose a piece as grandeur as some of yours,kind regards.

Flower Of Sorrow, The Dream

This is Charnia.
Charnia is the oldest extinct  organism known to man.
We still dont know if it was a plant or animal.
What we do know is that it lived alone in the bottom of the ocean in freezing temperatures and total darkness.
Charnia died .... without ever feeling the warmth of the sun.
Art work idea by me,done by SamBuddz.

Charnia

Journey into time through the persona of the piano. Melody first played on Schimmel alone and then on Steinway D joined by violin and cellos. Part of my new album 'Winter Solstice'. Pre-cursor to 'Winter Sun'. Proceeds go towards my expenses for brain surgery and recovery. Thanks for your support! Now on BandCamp and being released on streaming platforms  (new mix version on BC and streaming platforms):

I have released this song for #PianoDay2020. Whenever I put in a lot of strings, I am reminded of the Barber 'Adagio.'  In this track I combined several pianos to get a unique timbre.

Life...As Is... (PianoDay2020)

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
That I should say Goodnight
A Thousand Times Goodnight
Until it be the Morrow.

New piano and orchestra work for #PianoDay2020…Different from my norm, this work is fantastical, whimsical, and uses granular synthesis as well as tuned percussion, harp, and guitar. String flautando and harmonics create the sotte voce effect. Dedicated to my friend Lisa who has terminal cancer. Just learned Lisa passed away on 4/1. May she be in eternal peace...

Sunrise - Nathalie Itta and Albert Pulstar

Picture

Looking back to what it was
Oh so long ago
Was it you who fell into a hole where all the hopeless go
And all the time a knot was tied around my neck
And drag me to and fro
Ahhh happiness no more
Ahhh happiness no more

And I'm waiting
Waiting to die
And I'm waiting
Waiting to die

The things we used to try to waste the time
And now I buy it back
Was it I who tried to touch the sky
Who turned from blue to black
Try to say hello almost a world away
To things you'll never have
Somethings
Somethings you'll never have

And I'm waiting
Waiting to die
And I'm waiting
Waiting to die

A single candle
In the window sill
To light the road your on
And yet the night is still
a single candle
Well in the window still
To light the road your own
And yet the night is still

And I'm waiting
Waiting to die
And I'm waiting
Waiting to die

And no I never
Meant to leave you there
And no I never
Meant to have you scared
And no I never
Meant to turn away
Ahhhh what did you say
Ohhh what did I say

And I'm waiting
Waiting to die
And I'm waiting
Waiting to die

Ok in Okinawa
