4 Track and mono recordings(early 2000s)

Just finished my instrumental "ORCA" hard rock with some cool solos and other fun stuff.

ORCA

Sometime you just need to put songs together and let it go.

I Know Too Much

Lyrics:
Love's a Better Verb Than a Noun
Give Some and It Comes Around

Love's a Better Verb Than a Noun; Give Some and It Comes Around (with Vocals)

Balance...

RiZLiX - Bitter Sweet

My first own composition with designed vocals.
I'm a total amateur so sorry for all the bad parts.

Special thanks goes to my all testdrivers and especially to @r-u-r-pl for his all advices and for a breakthrough that I made on this one after 1,5 month of no bloody idea.

Lyrics was generated by freshbots.org algorythms and a bit changed to my vision. English is not my first language of use so if something doesn't make sense then blame my (non)understanding. It was more like fun making. An artistic way to express for "better" listening.

Main sense was about kind of sick, crazy love, unrequited that drive us to the edge of sense of good and evil. This is the kind of love with our suffering that hurts us and others. And when we can't balance the feeling we go over the edge. And all around must go with us. Especially the ONE.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

In the haze of dusk, you stumble, lost and weary
Can't see the light, but you feel my eyes nearly
Run from me, I'm always behind, you will see
I hide between shadows, just trust your plea

Pre-Chorus:

Keep your chest safe, guard your beating soul
In the depths of darkness, I'll take my toll

Chorus:

Run like hell, can't you hear the alarms?
My presence lurking, causing you harm
Stay in the light, where safety resides
Don't let my darkness become a guide

Verse 2:

Memories fading, just a jumble in your mind
But in your heart, I'll leave my mark undefined
I'll weave in your thoughts, my dagger in your back
Your pumping heart, my trophy from this track

Pre-Chorus:

Keep your chest safe, there's danger in my stare
For I am the creeping nightmare, you're unaware

Chorus:

Run like hell, don't let my shadow prevail
For I won't cease until I unveil
Stay in the light, where truth can’t be shown
Escape the grips of darkness, stand on your own

Bridge:

In the whispers of the night, my whispers so cold
But remember, dear one, you're brave and bold
Though I am relentless, you still have a chance
To break free from my grip and reclaim your stance

Reclaim your stance
To break free
You still have a chance
You still have a chance
You still have a chance
You still have a chance!

Chorus:

So run like hell, leave my echoes behind
In the face of fear, your strength, you'll find
I am the shadow, fading into the night. 
I can see your defiance, will you take the fight?
Run like hell, don't let me get near.
My spirit is the dark. You will always live in fear!

Fun fact:
When I've tried to sing this for a few first sessions, verse "For I am the creeping nightmare, you're (...)" sounds mostly ...different... Constant changing the sentence "unaware" into "underwear" makes me not finished the performance because of permanent laughs on myself. Hope I would never have to sing this on live session because my "professional" sense will never let me skip the mistake unnoticed.

Run Like Hell

Libra.

傾きかけた　正義なんて言葉
揺らいだ風に　もう重みなんてない
翳した正義　もうそこに意味はない
あるのは形　ただそれだけ
嗚呼　そんなもんだ　きっとそんなもんだね
言葉はやがて　色褪せていく

Freeze.
judgment time.
Freeze.
The court is closed.
Freeze. 
judgment time.
Freeze.
さよなら

Cry　more no more cry.
涙で　不安定な今　僕に傾け
Cry　more no more cry.
明日が不安定だって　僕に微笑め

絵空事の様　蝶になって見せた
心の奥は　ただ黒くて
翳した正義　天秤に乗せた
意味などとうにないと　知っていて

Freeze.
judgment time.
Freeze.
The court is closed.
Freeze.
judgment time.
Freeze.
さよなら

Cry　more no more cry.
涙で　不安定な今　僕に傾け
Cry　more no more cry.
明日が不安定だって　僕に微笑め

ねぇLibra.

哀を嘆いてた　小さな声は
いつから　固く閉ざされていた
可憐な花に涙を流す
ガラスの様な　心は

Cry　more no more cry.
涙で　不安定な今　僕に傾け
Cry　more no more cry.
明日が不安定だって　僕に微笑め

Cry　more no more cry.
Cry　more no more cry...

Libra. / Gama.

Don't need no religion to pray
Don't need no opinion to say
Say what I feel
Pray when I kneel
It makes no difference to me

Don't need no secrets to keep
Don't need no dreams to sleep
Sleep when I'm tired
Secrets undesired
It makes no difference to me

Chorus

No tears
No fears
It's just the way that it is
No cheers
No jeers
It's just the way that it is

Don't need no physician to heal
Don't need no politician to steal
Steal from the poor 
Pain I'll endure
It makes no difference to me

Don't need no education to learn
Don't need to go back to return
Return to where
There's no knowledge to share
It makes no difference to me

Chorus

Don't need no flowers to grow
Don't need no ill wind to blow
Blow me a kiss
And if you miss
It makes no difference to me

It makes no difference to me
It makes no difference to me
It makes no difference to me

It Makes No Difference To  Me (Cooper/Donkin Collaboration)

Took my old dance tune "Dance, Baby, Dance" and sent it to Xian3 to see what he would do with it.  He came through (as always in my opinion) with these nice dark vocals and lyrics.  I then mixed it in a semi-dub mode to give it an edgy feel.

Music: Mike Krath
Lyrics and Vocals: Xian3
DAW: Reason 12
VSTs: Nexus, Omnisphere, and other Synths.
Dub loops and off-beats: Splice

The Same

1.
This same complacant attitude
The same intrusive looks
The same clucking of the tongues
Those same obscene gestures
The same superior habit

Simply disgusting
Who taught you that? (rep)
How disgusting

2.
The same aggressive smell of greed
And derogatory words
So mean and vile
The same hateful comments
Bring out only the worst truth (social)

Simply disgusting
Who taught you that?

ref 1
Brows may crease in sorrow
If it only were tomorrow
That you were to decide again

Brows may crease in sorrow
If it only were tomorrow
That you would have to decide again

Huh,
That would never be the same

ref 2
Eyes narrowed in sorrow
If it only were tomorrow
That you were to decide again

Eyes narrowed in sorrow
If it only were tomorrow
That you would have to decide again

Huh,
Or would it just be the same ?

The Same (collab with Xian3)

First version of this tune
Mystical sun rays full of cosmic information.

Sunlight (2002)

This is a chord type tune that I came up with in early 20s that stayed with me, a revolving picked cord, no begining and no end, ever spinning wheel, some saddness and some joy.
I have replaced the file without EQ to original

Eternal Friend (short solo2003)

Ton regard éclaire le monde de ta sagesse,
Tu portes en toi la vie, la passion, l'amour,
Tu es le pilier sur lequel repose le jour,
Que ton chemin soit parsemé de bonheur et de succès.

4 Woman We Are

Recorded on a basic tascam 4 track tape recorder, a quick sound test to  to explore rhythmic guitar delays . In the background the ambient sounds are whats known as a guitar Glissando effect, by playing the open strings with a smooth matallic bar, in this case a tremolo arm.

Light Geometry (2001)

Guitar Track without beats using Echo effect to keep time.
The Grail could mean the reaching of wisdom and peace.

The Grail (2002)

Recorded on Basic 4-Track cassette recorder with delay effect making a tempo, I thought of the hobbits Journey when I was finding a name for this tune

The Hobbits Quest {2001}

Recorded on basic 4-track casset recorder, using eco/delay tempo.

Merkaba (2002)

Boogie Down Gangsta

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.
