LYRICS:

It's time to begin believing
Everything's gonna be alright
It's time to begin believing
Everything's gonna be alright
Got the feeling this mercy
Gonna give me a peace of mind
Got the feeling this mercy
Gonna give me a peace of mind
Gonna give me a peace of mind
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala

The mind can break
The heart can ache
You can push it aside
A tincture of sunshine
Put the shadows away

Put the shadows away
Put the shadows away

When you are mistaken
I'm reflected a thousand times
When you are mistaken
I'm reflected a thousand times
Like a lifeline, your sunshine
It's the battle in your mind
With no reprieve, no virtue
If you give in another night
You'll be running out of time
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala

The mind can break
The heart can ache
You can wipe it out
A tincture of sunshine
Put the shadows away

Put the shadows away
Put the shadows away

All you ever do
Circles back around to you
And all you'll ever be
Will be enough for me
A pinhole of sunlight
Piercing through the rain

I want to feel again
I want to laugh again
I want to live again
I want to love again

The mind can break
The heart can ache
And you can pull it through
Wait out the tempest
A beacon in your eyes

Often come a surprise
Sunshine and butterflies
The dawn of a new day
It puts the shadows away

TAFFETA | Part 70

"The Revolution of Consciousness" indicates the evolutionary transformation of the human being that awaits each of us, in order not to remain prisoners of the destructive forces that dominate the world today. It is a necessary task for the advent of a New Humanity, rooted in the strength of the Soul. New Humanity capable of generating the society outlined by our Constitution, based on mutual love rather than on the strong competition of the current neoliberal model. 
"Mauro Scardovelli"  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“La Rivoluzione della Coscienza” indica la trasformazione evolutiva dell’essere umano che aspetta ciascuno di noi, per non rimanere prigionieri delle forze distruttive che oggi dominano il mondo. È un compito necessario per l’avvento di una Nuova Umanità, radicata nella forza dell’Anima.Nuova Umanità in grado di generare la società delineata dalla nostra Costituzione, fondata sull’amore reciproco anziché sulla forte competizione dell’attuale modello neoliberista.

Two Shy People In Conversation

Infinite Point of Light.:Collabaoration between Svayam and Steve Coombes.

I started with an image of my grand daughter on her roller skates and thought about the feeling of freedom on those skates.  Then I drew on some memories from childhood, a class mate who went AWOL with a rock n roll band, which at the time I though was really exciting.  I've mixed reality and fantasy and created a song about looking back at life, the things we did and didn't do.  I've layered up the sound using Audacity and a Roland Duo-Capture Ex interface, my Yamaha P - 121 digital piano and SM 58 mic.  Sorry about the gap at the start, this is the first time I've used a metronome to try and keep to time and the first track had a couple of intro notes, but I deleted it as I didn't like the sound.  Unfortunately I don't know how to edit the first few seconds out.  The painting is an old one of mine,  I think it reflects the song to an extent.  Thank you for listening and I welcome your feedback as always.  I've tried to use techniques that came from this lovely SC community and I'm very grateful.

I Wish That Girl Was Me

Hypnotique 140

This track can be used for free on Youtube, social-media etc. If you credit us in your Youtube description: 'www.purple-planet.com', it should ensure you don't get any Content ID matches.

Delicate, flowing children’s fantasy tune in the style of classic family films. Lovely woodwind phrases dance with a lilting melody to evoke an atmosphere of wonderment and discovery.

Perfect for cartoons, gameplay and children’s presentations where a sense of timelessness and intrigue are required.

Enjoy as always :)

Happy new year to all my amazingly talented Soundcloud friends.  Creativity makes the world worth living in.  With love and respect, Joe
Thanks to Rick at Dark Fidelity HiFi for mastering and for being my best mate :)

Play it Cool

Play It Cool

Hanging out in the cloud forests of the Sierra Juárez mountains in Oaxaca, I’m tapping into the sounds of the universe like a mushroom-drunk nahual, reaching into the heart of nature to grasp at the mysteries of existence.

You’ll hear influences from deep time and across as many cultures as I can get my hands on. I get obsessed, man. Seriously, everything else melts away around me. I can spend days absorbed in an idea, like that stone statue guy—but with a stone guitar instead.

My approach to music? About as unpredictable as my ability to remember where I last saw my passport (pretty crucial when you live abroad all the time, right?). Some say I’ve got a “touch” of inattentive ADHD. Me? I call it an avant-garde approach to life. And yeah, maybe there’s been a mushroom-induced revelation or two along the way, but who’s counting? I don’t need a million-dollar studio—just a good instrument, a decent interface, a computer, and some monitors that hopefully survive my absent-minded chaos.

I’m a multi-instrumentalist who loves complexity, especially when it sneaks up on you through unexpected rhythms or harmonies from the far corners of the globe. From Carnatic ragas to garage rock grooves—why not just mix every cool sound and see what happens? Maybe I’ll start with a harmonic progression from Bach’s Goldberg Variations and slap it into a Hindustani 7/4 thaal (that’s rhythm, if you’re wondering). It’s a bit technical but, trust me, as cool as—well, let’s just say it’s the kind of vibe that might inspire a dream-like hallucination about nailing the perfect groove.

Yeah, I am a Ph.D. trained evolutionary biologist, and...   that sounds impressive until you find out I bailed on it the second I landed a good job. I was bored out of my mind. People look at me like a guy who won the lottery and then spent it all on the greatest collection of rare video games (I mean, I’m not that bad, right?). But switching from science back to music wasn’t just quitting—it was finally tuning into something deeper. Music and science might seem like distant cousins, but to me, they’re intertwined—both ways to unlock the secrets of the universe.

Now, I live in Capulálpam De Méndez, a mystical town in the Oaxacan mountains. The ancient Zapotec culture runs deep here, and creativity flows as freely as the mezcal at the fiestas (and trust me, there are plenty of fiestas).

Art is for everyone, and I’m always pushing to create something that connects—whether it’s a complex harmonic structure or just the right amount of groove to make you forget your troubles (or your keys, in my case).

So if you’re into music that teeters on the edge of chaos but mostly lands right where it needs to be—well, welcome. Just don’t expect me to remember how I got here, or where I left my bag. Seriously, my passport might’ve been in there… Was it the tuk-tuk? (sounds like a joke right...  Err..  its not....)

Relajándome en los bosques nublados de las montañas de la Sierra Juárez en Oaxaca, estoy sintonizando los sonidos del universo como un nahual borracho de hongos, llegando al corazón de la naturaleza para intentar comprender los misterios de la existencia.

Escucharás influencias de tiempos profundos y de tantas culturas como pueda explorar. Me obsesiono, hermano. En serio, todo lo demás desaparece a mi alrededor. Puedo pasar días absorbido en una idea, como ese tipo de las estatuas de piedra—pero con una guitarra de piedra en su lugar.

¿Mi enfoque hacia la música? Tan impredecible como mi habilidad para recordar dónde dejé mi pasaporte (bastante crucial cuando vives en el extranjero todo el tiempo, ¿verdad?). Algunos dicen que tengo un "toque" de TDAH inatento. ¿Yo? Lo llamo un enfoque vanguardista de la vida. Y sí, tal vez haya habido una o dos revelaciones inducidas por hongos en el camino, pero ¿quién está contando? No necesito un estudio de millones de dólares—solo un buen instrumento, una interfaz decente, una computadora y unos monitores que, con suerte, sobrevivan a mi caos despistado.

Soy un multiinstrumentista que ama la complejidad, especialmente cuando te sorprende con ritmos o armonías inesperadas de los rincones más lejanos del mundo. Desde ragas carnáticas hasta los grooves del garage rock—¿por qué no mezclar todos los sonidos geniales y ver qué pasa? Quizás empiece con una progresión armónica de las Variaciones Goldberg de Bach y la meta en un thaal hindú de 7/4 (es decir, un ritmo, por si te lo preguntas). Es un poco técnico, pero créeme, es tan genial como—bueno, digamos que es del tipo de vibras que podrían inspirar una alucinación soñadora sobre encontrar el groove perfecto.

Sí, tengo un doctorado en biología evolutiva, y eso suena impresionante hasta que descubres que lo dejé en cuanto conseguí un buen trabajo. Estaba aburrido como una ostra. La gente me mira como a un tipo que ganó la lotería y luego lo gastó todo en Beanie Babies (no soy tan malo, ¿verdad?). Pero pasar de la ciencia de nuevo a la música no fue simplemente abandonar—fue finalmente sintonizar con algo más profundo. La música y la ciencia pueden parecer primos lejanos, pero para mí, están entrelazados—ambas son formas de desentrañar los secretos del universo.

Ahora vivo en Capulálpam De Méndez, un pueblo místico en las montañas de Oaxaca. La antigua cultura zapoteca corre profundo aquí, y la creatividad fluye tan libremente como el mezcal en las fiestas (y créeme, hay muchas fiestas).

El arte es para todos, y siempre busco crear algo que conecte—ya sea una estructura armónica compleja o solo la cantidad justa de groove para hacerte olvidar tus problemas (o tus llaves, en mi caso).

Así que si te gusta la música que oscila en el borde del caos pero que la mayoría de las veces aterriza justo donde debe estar—bienvenido. Solo no esperes que recuerde cómo llegué aquí, o dónde dejé mi bolsa. En serio, creo que mi pasaporte estaba allí... ¿Fue en el tuk-tuk? (suena como una broma, pero... ehh, no lo es...).
