Beautifull tune mate. Really enjoyed this.

A sampler of some of the tracks I created after separating from my wife in late 2020 after nearly 27 years of marriage (and we were together for a few years before that). This happened just a couple of months after my long planned retirement. Retirement is turning out quite differently to how I imagined it!

Not all the tracks are about the separation, or my messed-up feelings...some are about the next stage in my life living in beautiful King Valley nestled in the foothills of the Australian Alpine National Park in North East Victoria.

The Ex Files

Global Hysteria

Imagine celebrating Christmas in the void of space, far from Earth.

A follow up track to my https://soundcloud.com/dacca/nomads-of-the-void track. Spare a thought for those Star Nomads at this time of year...

A cheery lot...

Around 2000 I came up with this idea that I should start a project called Bleak Guitar - a mostly instrumental "band" that would bring together all my preferences for shimmering guitars, dream pop, goth, darkwave, postrock, folk etc. It never happened - until now. 
This track, Nightlight, is an exception: It was recorded in 2002 -  having in mind it should fit the Bleak Guitar project

The winter snow arrived early and this very beautiful photo inspired me this song.
This beautiful white snow hides all the sufferings of a completely disoriented nature.

ICE RIVER

frozen river,
your wicks of silver,
dig in the snow,
looking now,
the last heat,
the last beats,
of a fiery summer,
devouring the earth ...

this beautiful white coat,
gives us false illusions,
this truth that we loathe,
which brings us back to reason
which brings us back to reason 
to reason
to reason......

Ice River

I feel like I'm starting over again, as this is my first track using GB but this time on my new iPad Pro. It was a mostly impromptu performance.

The track is intended to convey a sense of poignancy as, without going into too much detail here, I'm going through a bit of a personal crisis. As always, I turn to music to ease me through the pain.

Dreams Unfulfilled

My wife and I separated in early November, 2020.

This is one of my Apple loop mixes / compositions.

Separation

I feel the warmth of the Sun's rays with every dawn.

One Day At A Time

Let's face it, it couldn't get much worse.

Next Year Will Be Better

Inspired by Dante's work.

All synths played by me.
