This tune was one of the first multitrack recordings done on laptop
with Magix Music maker Dance edition, I remember it was free, or very cheap, my first DAW, it was fun.

Sierra Maestra

This tune Is from an Idea I have on a video that I made a few years ago in the lockdown period. The video was myself playing to a loop I had made quickly, but I liked the vibe and always wished to record this properly, so the source of this tune is this video https://youtu.be/zWut8y0hQYA
I added an ambient guitar technique at 3.06 minutes, called ''Glissando'' that I picked up through listening to the great band ''Gong'' and the exceptional Guitarist ''Steve Hillage''. This effect was developed by Daevid Allen, Gong,
by means of using a smooth metal bar (tremolo arm) in a sweeping motion
across guitar strings with delay fx and other ambient fx.

In this, our benevolent Space Brothers and Sisters have been watching, and see that we are now in an emergency in our wonderful Home, Earth. What now....? This is my new video to provide a possible storyline for this tune https://youtu.be/AjZvJxecBtI

Space Brother-Space Sister (2025)

This is an old traditional Malagasy song,
we did for you 

Kitana on vocals 
Rina on piano

Mifankatiava ihany
Raha mbola velona aina
Tsy misy toy izany ny mampifaly saina

Ny maty efa lasa
Tsy azontsika antsoina
Isika no mikasa
Ny ratsy hadinoina re

Ny maty efa lasa
Tsy azontsika antsoina
Isika no mikasa
Ny ratsy hadinoina

Koa raha tsy fotoana ela
No hipetrahana eto
Andeha re
Andeha re mba hifamela
Andeha hifamela mba tsy harahin-tsento
Mba tsy harahin-tsento
Andeha re(Andeha re)
Mba hifamela
Mba tsy arahin-tsento

tranlation:
Let’s love one another
While we are still alive
There’s nothing more joyful than that for the soul

The dead are already gone
We can no longer call them back
It’s up to us now
To let go of the wrongs

The dead are already gone
We can no longer call them back
It’s up to us now
To let go of the wrongs

So if our time here
Is not for long
Let us go
Let us go and forgive each other
Let us forgive, so no sorrow remains
So no sorrow remains
Let us go (Let us go)
To forgive
So sorrow won’t follow

Cover Solika - Mifankatiava ihany | by Kitana and Rina

Chills (2025) Remastered

This is actually the third version of the song. I felt the original idea I’d roughed out with the keyboard and computer could be more interesting. So I reworked the whole track again (twice) adding several ‘hooks’. These were some vocal ‘stabs’, some keyboard/synth riffs as well as writing ( what I hope ) is a more interesting bass line. I beefed up the drum section too. I hope the fun I had creating it is reflected in the overall vibe of the track. Having said all this, the question is: did it actually work? 


Get Up

Pues ahí está una cover muy bestia de la canción.

Regular John (QUEENS AND THE STONE AGE) Cover by DELAFLOR

This track inspired by a Hike with friends of time to the the summit of Rondetslottet in Rondane Nationalpark in Norway. It was October 2022 and we were surprised by snowfall. No losses on the way up and down fortunately. Why post a winter song in the summer? Don't ask me, I am nuts... ;-) 
PS: so nuts that I forgot about our friends down under! Happy winter season, Steve and al. 🥶😎

Winter Snow

A dark psychedelic rock track fused with industrial beats and hypnotic mantra-like vocals. Heavy, relentless, and immersive. Thank you for the listening.

i heard on the radio the other day that loneliness is the new epidemic.............peace and cheers for having a listen





                 Afterthought

well i don't really know what happened to us
but i could sure use a friend right now
cos all that we built is turning to dust
and there ain't no more how or why

so please don't say that you know what i'm going through
it's plain to see that you really wouldn't have a clue
i'm trying to appreciate, the little effort that you gone and made
but it saddens me that you need to pretend, when you can clearly see
that i'm at the end of my rope
that's ok, i was just trying to say
i need a friend

so don't give it a second thought
it never mattered much before
and if there was a page for all the mistakes we made
i'd fill a book or four, a volume that's for sure

so please don't say that you know what i'm going through
it's plain to see that you really don't have a clue
i'm trying to understand, things were good and now they're bad
and it saddens me that you need to pretend, when you can clearly see
that i'm at the end of my rope
that's ok, i was just trying to say
i need a friend

Afterthought

I'm not gonna lie to you guys, this one's gonna assault your ears.  It's rough and nasty.  This is actually a live version of a track we released years ago, originally called "Who Were Fanny And Phaggot?"  This is also the only song to feature our occasional bassist, Dick Wartz, who plays bass on both versions.  Gremescer plays guitar and vocals, and Mick Mack is on drums.  This track was recorded on a Tascam 4 track tape machine, and believe me, it shows.  There's some mighty fine tape rasp and hiss in there for some of the real audiophiles out there.  Don't say you weren't warned.

Dark Slide of the Moon - Live

I have added Judith's Vocals from the version of Cloud9 2008, now
the vocals have a more of a rock based backing.
The original version of this was an instrumental, which was inspired by spending a long sunny afternoon walking in the expanses of Chatsworth grounds Derbyshire England, a wonderous place.

Cloud 9 2020 (Vocals by Judith)

These are my musical compositions since I began recording on 4-track tape, and later on with laptop, have been adding new compositions in the last few years here and there.
Mostly instrumental recordings, and tracks with vocal, adding extra musical Dimensions and athmospherics.
I have many musical influences, there are special bands and musicians I grew up listening to, Gong, Steve Hillage, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Ozric Tentacles, Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, John Martyn (ecoplex guitar master), Return to Forever,  Zappa, and from my own country, Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore, CLannad.
