Santa's Nice List 2015(Repost Art)

Fivos Valachis (@fivosvalachis ) is a talented and inspired composer and pianist, who also happens to enjoy collaborations. So one day he proposed me to sing the Italian version of his song, Starting Terminus.
The warm welcome it received encouraged us to go on, and La Città then followed. This time, Fivos surprised me by involving Vicente Bueso (@scienceteheran ) for the strings arrangement.
The result didn't please just the three of us: the quickly growing number of listens brought the song at number 1 in the Easy Listening section of SoundCloud Explore for 3 days.

May 2013
hello to all the friends of souncloud.
i would like to create a common song and listen to it in various, speak and musical languages and singed by different voices.
impossible? history will tell us something :)
so i'm looking for collaborations for that track.

1) lyrics
2) different remixes / arragements.
3) voice

First  track is only the piano part with chords without melodic line.
Second  track is the piano part with chords and melodic line (only for example.)
Thirst track is piano part with my voice in greek (be lenient and forgive the quality of voice.)

p.s. originally i have written it for a greek singer but at the end the project hasn't go on.

Starting Terminus - Piano Solo

lyrics in Deutsch: Joseph von Eichendorff.
voice: Katja Tennigkeit.
music and piano: Fivos Valachis

all of a sudden I receive en email with this sentence:
"Your piano playing reminded me so much of german romantic music, that I thought I would turn this into something like a "Kunstlied", just that I didn't want to sing it very classical. So I dived into the oevre of one of the favorite romantic poets, many of his poems were composed by Schubert, Schumann etc., Joseph von Eichendorff."

thanks Katja.
you gave new breath to this piece.

Die Stille

Es weiß und rät doch keiner,
Wie mir so wohl ist, so wohl!
Ach, wüßt' es nur einer, nur einer,
Kein Mensch es sonst wissen soll!

So still ist's nicht draußen im Schnee,
So stumm und verschwiegen sind
Die Sterne nicht in der Höhe,
als meine Gedanken sind.

Ich wünscht', es wär schon Morgen,
Da fliegen zwei Lerchen auf,
Die überfliegen einander,
Mein Herze folgt ihrem Lauf.

Ich wünscht', ich wäre ein Vöglein
Und zöge über das Meer,
Wohl über das Meer und weiter,
Bis daß ich im Himmel wär'!

----------
(The quiet woman:
Noone knows or could guess how well I feel, how well!
Oh, if just this one would know, just this one, no one else would need to know.

It's not that quite out in the snow, so silent
are not even the stars up high, as my thoughts are.

I wish it was tomorrow, there two larks rise up in the sky
they fly around each other, my heart follows their course.

I wish I was a little bird, I flew across the sea,
across the sea and even further, until I was in heaven.)

Capolinea
----------------------
Cosa pensi di fare andando via
Cosa pensi che trovi fuggendo là
Ritorni sempre al capolinea
Con la stessa acqua ancora la sete placherai

Chi mai pensi che sarà lì per salvarti
Quale fuoco sarà acceso per scaldarti
Quante bugie dal falso mai ti salveranno
Se non hai da dire almeno una verità

Scopri tutte quante le tue carte
Tieni aperte le possibilità
Lascia che sia il gioco a giocarti
Non tenere per te le carte che hai

Dove sogni di trovare ciò che cerchi
Quale mare pensi che navigherai
Costruisci le tue navi con la pietra
E con le navi di roccia nessuno ha viaggiato mai.

English translation (rough and quite literal)

What do you think you'll do going away?
What do you think you'll find fleeing there?
You always come back to square one
It's always the same water you'll quench your thirst with

Who do you think will be there to save you?
Which fire will be lit to warm you?
How many lies will save you from falseness,
If you don't have at least a truth to say?

Turn all your cards face up
Leave all your chances open
Let the game play you
Don't keep your cards for yourself

Where do you dream to find what you're looking for?
Which sea do you think you'll sail?
You build your ships with stone
And with stone ships no one ever has sailed

**********

There were times in life when u feel like quit
Everything around u tumbling down and u just can’t hold on
U feel left and all alone
U feel dumped and no one can understand
What u’re feeling inside
U feel fooled
And no one stop to comfort you
Just exactly then u need to hold on
It’s exactly when u need to stand firm
Coz the best is yet to come

There were times in life when things all went wrong
Everything you do just doesn’t seem enough to stand u strong
U keep fall and u lose hope 
U keep fail and u start to doubt yourself
Will u ever succeed
The time’s running
And u left all in bleed
Just exactly then u need to hold on
It’s exactly when u need to stand firm
Coz the best is yet to come

Il Padrino ( The Godfather original song )

Vocals: Paolo D'Emilio
Strings orchestration: Vicente Bueso @scienceteheran
Piano and original composition: Fivos Valachis @fivosvalachis
Lyrics: Konstantinos Kavafis

After our first collaboration (Capolinea https://soundcloud.com/copyc4t/capolinea-starting-terminus ) Fivos Valachis offered me to sing this wonderful song he composed on a poem by Konstantinos Kavafis.

As if this weren't already too good to be true (but alas, true it is!) Fivos asked Vicente Bueso to orchestrate the song. The combination of piano and strings alone is so magical that you better listen to it if you haven't yet!
https://soundcloud.com/scienceteheran/la-citt-with-fivos-valachis

Well, it's been a real pleasure and honor to collaborate with two amazing musicians like Fivos and Vicente on this song, all my gratitude to them.
Thank you Fivos, thank you Vicente!

The City

[1.08] You said, "I will go to another land, I will go to another sea.
Another city will be found, better than this.
Every effort of mine is condemned by fate;
and my heart is -- like a corpse -- buried.
[1.45] How long in this wasteland will my mind remain.
Wherever I turn my eyes, wherever I may look
I see the black ruins of my life here,
where I spent so many years, and ruined and wasted."

[2.21] New lands you will not find, you will not find other seas.
The city will follow you. You will roam the same
streets. And you will age in the same neighborhoods;
in these same houses you will grow gray.
[4.53] Always you will arrive in this city. To another land -- do not hope --
there is no ship for you, there is no road.
As you have ruined your life here
in this little corner, you have destroyed it in the whole world.

La Città

Dicesti: "ad altra città andrò, ad altro mare.
altra città dev'esserci migliore di questa
dove ogni mio tentativo è destinato al fallimento,
e il mio cuore, quesi fossi morto, sepolto.

Fino a quando la mia mente in questo marasma giacerà?
ovunque volgo l'occhio, ovunque guardo
perduti ruderi della mia vita qui scorgo
ove tanti anni ho trascorso e guastato e sciupato."

Nuovi paesi non troverai, né altri mari, né altri mari.
la città, ti seguirà
per le stesse vie circolerai;
nei soliti quartieri andrai invecchiando;
sempre tra queste case ti farai bianco.

A questa città ognora giungerai
per quegli altri paesi, lascia ogni speranza
a te nave non c'è, non c'è nessuna strada.
Così come la tua vita rovinasti qui
in questo piccolo angolo,
su tutta la terra
-


Η Πόλις

Είπες "Θα πάγω σ`άλλη γη, θα πάγω σ`άλλη θάλασσα.
Μια πόλις άλλη θα βρεθεί καλλίτερη από αυτή.
Κάθε προσπάθειά μου μια καταδίκη είναι γραφτή
κ`είν`η καρδιά μου σαν νεκρός θαμμένη.
Ο νους μου ως πότε μες στον μαρασμόν αυτόν θα μένει.
Όπου το μάτι μου γυρίσω, όπου κι αν δω
ερείπια μαύρα της ζωής μου βλέπω εδώ,
που τόσα χρόνια πέρασα και ρήμαξα και χάλασα."

Καινούριους τόπους δε θα βρεις, δεν θάβρεις άλλες θάλασσες.
Η πόλις θα σε ακολουθεί.Στους δρόμους θα γυρνάς
τους ίδιους.Και στες γειτονιές τες ίδιες θα γερνάς
και μες στα ίδια σπίτια αυτά θ`ασπρίζεις.
Πάντα στην πόλι αυτή θα φτάνεις.Για τα αλλού μην ελπίζεις
δεν έχει πλοίο για σε, δεν έχει οδό.
Έτσι που τη ζωή σου ρήμαξες εδώ
στην κώχη τούτη την μικρή, σ`όλην την γη την χάλασες.

La Città (written and played on piano by Fivos Valachis, strings by Vicente Bueso)

Dear friends, I have written songs dedicated to others before, but this is the first time that a song is written for me and "from" me; from our conversations, Jaime J Ross ( @jaime0223 ) was able to read all of this inside me and write it so that I couldn't have said it better.

Fivos Valachis ( @fivosvalachis ) then surprised me once more, actually twice, first with his wonderful music I had already listened to for his Charity Collab Project - Color Your Life, Orange ( soundcloud.com/fivosvalachis/sets/donation-collaboration-color ) and then because I didn't know it was the music he composed on Jaime's lyrics.

There are no words to describe how special I feel for this wonderful gift by such wonderful friends; thank you Jaime, thank you Fivos.

This can also be a gift to Doctors Without Borders now!
All the proceeds for Fivos' charity album go to them:

Dance with Me

Feel the music deep inside
Let it reach your soul
Close your eyes, embrace it
Breathe and just let go

Do not worry who may watch
Or worry what they'll see
Take my hand and my heart
Come and dance with me

Follow me, I'll lead you
Trust that I'll be here
With every step, I'm by your side
Relax and have no fear

Close enough to feel your heart
Beating next to mine
Together, together...perfect rhythm
I thought I'd never find

Patiently I waited
I knew you'd come along, you'd come along
I waited, I waited for the moment
And for the perfect song

So now we dance together
Not searching anymore
Our bodies fit so perfectly 
As we glide across the floor

Dance with me...I promise you
You won't be lost again
I'll stay with you...forever
Until the music ends

Taken from my Autumn Stories album, Digipack Edition.

Week #5 (Piano solo)

This is my DJ mix from the Daphni 'JIAOLONG' album release party at the Bussey Building in Peckham, London, UK.

It was recorded live and performed with 3 Pioneer CDJ 2000s playing digital files, an E&S DJR400 mixer and a Boss RE-20 Space Echo pedal.

All 7.5 hours are here - warts and all. Apologies for the occasionally crunchy sound quality and periodic lapses in mixing. It's only split into two parts because it was too long to upload as one file.

It was a fantastic night - thank you to all of you who were there and to Huntleys & Palmers for putting the night on. But as many of you were unable to attend for geographic and other reasons, I wanted to share it with you this way.

I hope you enjoy it. Thanks,
Dan

A piano/vocal cover I pulled together with my friend, Michelle Viljoen, who provided the amazing vocals!

A Mighty Fortress (Christy Nockels Cover)

I wrote this for a short film that's being created in London...I'll add more information about it when it's released like the web link and such! 

This being my first film composition, I placed the film with no noise in front of me while I completely improvised over top of it. I feel like once I develop my style and learn how to add more parts to my songs, I'll love for soundtrack composition to be a side job for me!
