This piece took a lot of work. I wrote out all 12 guitar parts (playing them first of course, then writing out the music). This is my classical tribute to the composers of the past. Those who influenced me such as Mozart, Yngwie, Becker, Pachelbel, Rachmaninoff, Paganini, Schubert and so many others. 

I don't think that I'll create any more "crazy guitar" songs like this one. It would certainly be tough to top it technically or creativity. I certainly pushed myself for this one. But who knows what tomorrow will bring!

There are parts to this song that perhaps I would do differently now. But this was an ongoing battle for several months. So I chose to leave it in its raw, yet polished form. 

I hope you enjoy!

The Magnum Opus

After a year or so of music inactivity, here's "The Cloaked Traveler." I have a number of songs written that I will be releasing in the upcoming weeks. 

All parts written, programmed, performed. recorded, mixed and arranged by me.

The Cloaked Traveler

Another one that came together fairly quick. Experimenting more on the mix and panning. Getting there but learn new techniques every time. 

So far the feedback has been really good on this one. Funny because its not really over the top flashy guitar playing! 

All parts writing, arranged, performed, programmed, recorded and mixed by me.

Reduce to Ashes

Experimenting more on the mix and panning. This one is Tuned a whole step down to D. There is very little gain for the guitars. Focus was working with EQ's to drive the overall sound. 

One of my favorite songs so far.

Decimation

Amour déçu...quoique...// Lost love?...maybe not...

Gare de l’Est (At Paris East station)

Gare de l’Est, lying in ambush,
My body, patriotic,
Ready to sacrifice itself
For a stolen kiss.
The sky is threatening,
Like your last message
That I read a hundred times
In the midst of the crowd.
Like a soldier at attention,
I wait for you, I’m losing my mind.
No way, I won’t return
To Metz Without a promise.
My paced hundred steps
Don’t calm these voices
That softly repeat
I missed my chance.
It’s night now,
And the wind has risen.
I could lie down
Forever on this bench.
Like a soldier at attention,
I wait for you, I’m losing my mind.
No way, I won’t return
To Metz Without a promise.
Then the storm breaks,
Windows glisten,
Sweaty brow, flushed cheeks,
Sweat a salty taste.
If you don’t come,
If you’ve turned the page,
I can’t even imagine—
I ‘m losing my courage.
Like a soldier at attention,
I wait for you, I’m losing my mind.
No way, I won’t return
To Metz Without a promise.
I’d like to bring to light
A mirage from the mist,
A whirlwind of joy,
Your marvelous face.
“But she won’t come anymore,”
Says this stranger.
I turn around—
A goddess—
And I’m struck down.

Gare de l'Est

Alcune Note esplicative:
-Sorry, not enough space for an English version. It's a shame because it's one of the most idiotic things I've ever written.- 😅

Dopo un prolungato percorso di indagini, Don Cilicio Prozac ha finalmente ritrovato, abilmente celata nel frigorifero di quello che si ritiene fosse il relitto di un’astronave aliena, una copia della partitura del leggendario Inno Cerimoniale delle misteriose Sette Nefariane.
-Per chi non fosse a conoscenza dell’ordine eretico Nefariano e di come il Divino Mascarpone abbia testimoniato l’investitura divina di  Papa Nefario I, rimandiamo alle note esplicative relative alla “Fanfara per l’investitura di SS Papa Nefario I” pubblicata su questo stesso canale San Claudio.-
La partitura rinvenuta dal pio ricercatore, pur mantenendo pressoché intatto il testo tradizionale delle origini, si presenta chiaramente come una versione relativamente recente dell'inno, un indizio inequivocabile della pervasiva presenza di cellule Nefariane attive nella società contemporanea. 
Dunque, con  l'intento di attestare in modo incontrovertibile l'esistenza di questo Potente Ordine Eretico, Don Prozac ed i Vertici del Pio Istituto si sono prodigati affinché l'inno venisse eseguito e reso finalmente pubblico. 
Tuttavia, durante la registrazione del brano, con crescente preoccupazione, si è constatato che, per ragioni misteriose, nessuno dei coristi e dei musicisti dell'orchestra riusciva a completare l'esecuzione senza dover ricorrere a frequenti visite al bagno.
Un attento studio del testo, redatto in un curioso latino medievale corrotto da evidenti influenze sumeriche (o, forse, molisane), ha messo in luce la presenza di un'antica maledizione che colpirebbe coloro che osassero recitare, o anche solo ascoltare, il testo dell'inno senza essere stati iniziati all'ordine. Infatti, nella terza stanza, si legge: ‘Quod Botulinum vindice, lator vindictae intestinalis, omnes infideles scagazzabunt cum magno dolore de pança.’
Secondo ulteriori documenti rinvenuti nei frigoriferi di altri relitti alieni disseminati nel mondo, la vendicativa Entità Botulinica, di probabile origine extraterrestre e diretta emanazione del Sacro Mascarpone, colpirebbe chiunque osasse recitare o ascoltare il testo del Sacro Inno senza essere stato iniziato alla Setta, manifestandosi in violenti contorcimenti intestinali e in un'improvvisa avversione per i latticini. 
A sostegno di questa teoria, un musicista colpito dalla presunta Maledictio Mascarponis, tra inquietanti borborigmi e scorreggioni rimbombanti, pare abbia iniziato a cantare a squarciagola in una lingua sconosciuta, rivelatasi sorprendentemente simile all’antico dialetto Knurd del terzo pianeta di Aldebaran. È opportuno notare come questo evento abbia ulteriormente confortato le speculazioni circa una verosimile connessione interstellare tra le Sette Nefariane e civiltà extraterrestri, alimentando ancora una volta l'ineffabile mistero che circonda la confraternita.
Determinato a rivelare comunque al mondo questa straordinaria opera, Don Prozac ha deciso dunque di presentare al pubblico una versione strumentale dell'Inno, un'interpretazione che evita le insidie intestinali e consente ai musicisti e al pubblico di godere della potenza della musica senza il rischio di incorrere in imbarazzanti incidenti.
In conclusione, invitiamo tutti a godere di questa Opera che celebra la grandezza di Papa Nefario I e la resilienza della Sua Confraternita, ora presentata in una forma che onora la tradizione senza compromettere il benessere intestinale dei partecipanti all’esecuzione.

N. B: In via prudenziale, per le esecuzioni pubbliche, si raccomanda agli spettatori di mantenere una certa distanza tra loro e di individuare per tempo l’ubicazione dei servizi.

Exultate Nephariani!

Not Your Target

FYI;) YGWYG

I'm standing by the precipice and pray, feeling you flowing through me
Far up from above and from below, the wind is whispering your name

Lover's lost for words in the haze of a post-orgasmic daze...
Behind scarlet veils, shadows dancing upon the walls...

Emotions into motions, divinities entwined...
Bodies bathing in glowing red neon lights 
In passion dwells union a babylonian communion 
Venus lash the yearning flesh with the whips of her desire...

Their ambrosia is honey and wine...
From fruits that grow in heavenly realms divine 

I can hear you breathing next to me 
Feel your presence stirring up my being 
Alchemical matters of the heart dissolves and wash away the dirt 

Tounges taste and lips devour 
Heart's full and pouring over 
And he breathe her in, and she let him in

Emotions into motions, divinities entwined...
Bodies bathing in glowing red neon lights 
In passion dwells union a babylonian communion 
Venus lash the yearning flesh with the whips of her desire...

He is the air and she is the wind
(One soul, one heart, one spirit)
Like a sunlit morning just after the rain 
When all is reborned and reaching for the sun 
(Snow dance in vernal light)
A whispered augury in petals white...

Tounges taste and lips devour 
Heart's full and pouring over 
And he breathe her in, and she let him in

Emotions into motions, divinities entwined...
Bodies bathing in glowing red neon lights 
In passion dwells union a babylonian communion 
Venus lash the yearning flesh with the whips of her desire...

Emotions into motions 
Divinities entwined 
In passion dwells union 
A babylonian communion
