Can't go wrong with an Elvis cover. Very nice..

Great one.  I loved your stripped down acoustic style of this classic.  Thanks for "keeping the faith".

"Obsidian Reflections" serves as a symphonic fresco, encapsulating the essence of obsidian chrysalis within a modern orchestra. Inspired by the dual nature of this intriguing rock, the composition unfolds as a singular journey, transitioning from somber reflections on ecological challenges to an optimistic embrace of transformative potential.
The music, devoid of distinct movements, seamlessly progresses from dark, mysterious tones to luminous and hopeful harmonies. This symphonic narrative reflects the metaphorical journey from shadows cast by environmental concerns to the intrinsic human ability to find light amidst darkness.
Obsidian, with its smooth texture, serves as a metaphor for resilience and transformation, echoing qualities within both the natural world and ourselves. "Obsidian Reflections" is a continuous musical dialogue, exploring the delicate balance between despair and hope. It invites listeners to reflect on our interconnectedness and inspires a shared commitment to nurturing a brighter, more sustainable future.

"Tea with Debussy & Pärt in Casablanca" is a musical dream that bloomed during my vacation in Havana, Cuba. Inspired by classical masterpieces from Arvo Pärt and Claude Debussy, I envisioned an imaginary encounter with these esteemed composers in Casablanca, over Moroccan tea.

Commissioned by a dear friend and talented violist Vincent Delorme, this piece is not an imitation of their styles but rather a heartfelt conversation between us. It embodies the essence of typical conversations in Morocco, where we all speak at the same time, meandering from topic to topic, and experiencing numerous changes of atmospheres, tempi, textures, and fragments of thematic material.

It begins with minimalist touches, a nod to Pärt's recent works, where the piano introduces serene arpeggios, intertwining with heartfelt viola melodies. As we delve into our tea time, I incorporate some of Debussy's harmonic vocabulary. 

Throughout our harmonious dialogue, the piece mirrors the dynamic nature of conversations in Morocco. We experience moments of collective excitement, where the music swells with vibrant textures and lively tempi, as if everyone is speaking at once. Themes and motifs emerge and intertwine, mirroring the meandering nature of our discussion as we navigate from one topic to another.

As our musical journey unfolds, our collaboration celebrates cultural fusion, weaving together Pärt, Debussy, and my artistic zest. Each voice contributes to the narrative, inviting moments of wonder and contemplation through our shared inspirations.

a song about running away

----------

3am and I’m heading west
Miles shot through with regret
Eyes on the road and the memories
Safe inside my head

I see through your platitudes
Maybe one day I’ll learn
So much distance back to you
Not sure when that bridge got burned

We write our names in the sand
Point our headlights at the moon
We make our way through this land
But gone too soon

No more equivocating
Time to put this to rest
Too much of everything
but enough isn’t the test

I’ve come so far and still I
Feel some days that’s wrong
Only wanted to let you know
That this is where love went wrong

We write our names in the sand
Point our headlights at the moon
We make our way through this land
But gone too soon

Are you also a daydreamer?
Wiki says that daydream is a fantasy that a person has while awake.

Daydreaming is the stream of consciousness that detaches from current external tasks when attention drifts to a more personal and internal direction. This phenomenon is common in people's daily life shown by a large-scale study in which participants spend 47% of their waking time on average on daydreaming . There are various names of this phenomenon including mind wandering, fantasy, spontaneous thoughts, etc. Daydreaming is the term used by Jerome L. Singer whose research programs laid the foundation for nearly all the subsequent research in this area today. The list of terminologies assigned by researchers today puts challenges on identifying the common features of the phenomenon, in this case daydreaming, and on building collective work among researchers.

There are many types of daydreams, and there is no consistent definition amongst psychologists, however the characteristic that is common to all forms of daydreaming meets the criteria for mild dissociation. Also, the impacts of different types of daydreams are not identical. While some are disruptive and deleterious, others may be beneficial in some way.

Yes, I'm daydreamer. For this track I used acoustic guitar, oboe and clarinet, upright and supplement it with glockenspiel.

L'UOMO DAI CENTO VOLTI

Passa via, nel vento con la sua valigia e la magia
che regalava con un gesto
Fantasia e in viso quelle mille luce artistiche
che ci facevan stare allegri

L'uomo dai cento volti se ne va
senza poter mostrare la sua identità
e sorridendo aspetta il giorno per alzare quel sipario

Passa via, travolto da quel mondo telecamera
e lacrime di coccodrillo - whoa

L'uomo dai cento volti se ne va
senza dimostrare la sua verità
ma sorridendo attende il giorno per alzare quel sipario

Ombre lunghe, senza prove
e una ferita nella pelle
c'è chi ti ama sotto il cielo
di un'estate decadente
e sa dirti che il tuo conto non riporta un prezzo giusto
che non pagherai mai

L'uomo dai cento volti se ne va
senza poter mostrare la sua identità
e sorridendo aspetta il giorno per alzare quel sipario
E si riderà

Profili irregolari

L'uomo dai cento volti
