Moga Harra - SAD THEME

Variation 18 of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini composed in 1934. Rachmaninoff said of this piece: "This one, is for my agent." as he sensed it would become a commercial hit. It's composed by playing upside down the original melody from Paganini. The original is like a piano concerto (solo piano vs orchestra) and I'm trying to do it on a single keyboard with sampled sounds.

The theme was used in the movie Somewhere in Time in 1980 starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Bösendorfer grand piano and sampled orchestra strings.

Transcription for solo piano by Hermene W. Eichhorn. Re-uploaded with new take on Jan 26, 2014.

Chopin - Prelude No. 4 "Suffocation" [upright piano + reverb]

This a track that I made in January 2013. I never had the chance to put the finishing touches on it because the computer on which it was made is now dead. I hope you like it

Lyrics : 

[ Speech ]

First verse / Menace : 

Define viral from thoughts of disciples
Lift the fifth rifle , the fists of the rightful
Bliss of the mist of the sixth dark cipher
On rhythms of the barks of the one eyed idols
Then the seventh spit by pagans of the heavens
Dialect the wars of the devil in his presence
Embrace the essence of the Marxist and his lessons
Look past histories without no reference
Intelligence of the lost architects
That design anti masonic optical sects
Enter the vatican's nest pass the test
With time pain chronics from my blasphemy sense
Envision , images of the prisons
Resurrect Elohim when I roam the divisions
The incision , of the black blood magician
Manipulate the orders of the past prepositions
I , Engineered the fall of Seraphims
Rise of the communist blind the eye of Solomon
Nephilim , lies in the filaments of time
Where the mind finds lies like the optimized Reverant
Then the sinned Jin , roaming through victims
Civilizations of Abraham Lincoln
Rectum of the elected ill symptom
Found in the maps of my insane phantom .
Visit the tombs with sick black rose
Piss on Nabekenezar under the shadow of his crows

Second verse / Mobin :


To fall to land
I articulate eloquently in Arabic as Elohim hang from my hand
Breathe no seed in the sand
We don't see metaphysics in the mind of a man
Inside the divine hive of the blinded
I plant eyes in the womb of a lamb
I'm in the tomb of the damned
With images of blackness collide and expand
If I pull a disciple's eye
Full of blasphemy
I full fill the banishing of "Blood Libel"
With rightful, Aramic parables of the Bible
I shall delightfully lullaby by soul
I throw paganism, I throw idols
I throw seeds from my "Olive tree rifle"
The revival, as a Nephilite rise from the light of the "Christos" arrival
I am the rival of Zion
No pilgrimage images of pillage
With illegitimate morality of Blacksmith's with iron
In the hand, the mind where I spawn
I've drawn portraits of Siamese thoughts,
That bleed at "once" from a cacti mono-mind thorn
Double eyed form, rather be blind than having to be a single eyed born

Ice-g - bring it back

Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings. This is from 1936, earlier than the 60's but so much more modern, isn't it? The ultimate ambient trance-ish piece... Tried to make it sound like metallic yet organic strings, mixing Clavia's string orchestra samples with synthesizers.

Live video: http://youtu.be/NdXiKehJCrI

If this is too ambient for you (sometimes it is for me), Tiësto used the first notes ad nauseam in an upbeat trance track.

It's called Suffocation but it's actually harder for your back than your lung, he makes you bend down like crazy on the keyboard. ;)

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2, using a sampled Yamaha C7 grand piano.

Chopin - Prelude No. 4 "Suffocation"

1ère Gymnopédie.

Live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZd4BYOzXBo

Lent et douloureux.
Slow and sorrowful.

"Oblique et coupant l'ombre un torrent éclatant; Ruisselait en flots d'or sur la dalle polie; Où les atomes d'ambre au feu se miroitant; Mêlaient leur sarabande à la gymnopédie."

"Slanting and shadow-cutting a flickering eddy
Trickled in gusts of gold to the shiny flagstone
Where the atoms of amber in the fire mirroring themselves
Mingled their sarabande to the gymnopaedia"

- Contamine de Latour

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha C7 with a generous amount of reverb and phaser, and a thin layer of strings.

Menace :

Blasphemous sins all of the mighty seven, the theory is evil spit by the rhyming felons, NORAD intelligence cross the shining crescent, destination and timing, 9/11.

Babylon is the reason of fraud, in a time where people being even is odd, bleeding in fogs, thoughts shattered like Galileans across but the meaning is lost.

I've practiced arts of battle axes, black metal fractures marks of rebel masters, barks of rebel pastors are just leveled fractions, lies in certain actions like arts of Anglo Saxons.

Burst all composure, I grew a phobia, to transform churches like Aya Sofia, meditate in the deepest disturbia, I hold the powers like a point of Inertia.

Some being blind I'm not heathen bribed, sum all pleading rhymes grasped from the bleeding tribes, I blame the Vatican with sins like deceiving minds, lost flames are radical when tricks are believing lies.

Elements form orbits, evident drawn portraits, our freedom is when American drones forfeit, the four forces of a heavy Seraphim's sword tip, I spawn above the brethren's false sources.

The blind folded rebellions have passed, where a true vision's equal to a million's wrath, because you wouldn't know that freedom's a civilian's path, and even if you saw the Palestinian flag.

The black crows carry the virus of Galileans, but i Jack Sparrows like a pirate from the Caribbean, then Rome/ roam battling thy science in Coliseums, with supreme mathematics, to define higher beings.

Gardens of Babylon, harvest in hell, word wizardry casting the spell, I then murder the high class and rebel, but on the righteous path of divine light like Ismael.

Who were the ones to produce and inject AIDS, the same personnel that use and detest faith, no, I refuse to respect age, when the only way is for the youth to project rage.

Even if I fall in the depth of societies, reject civilized resurrected tribally, I silently swear to thrive for the vile uprisings, for man is affected violently.

Mobin :

Whether the Pharaohs or Pharisees
Better metaphors settle blasphemy in the shadows of Galilee
Narrowed with insanity, Morality is gone;
vanity is spawned in the parodies
I demolish arid frequencies of laughter, or absurdity in the presence of a Pastor
Peer minds gather, veered lies fracture, Arabic in life and the hereby after
Broaden resilience, project astral soul fragments into atmospheres of haunted civilians
Brilliance, melancholic images of my face are projected in the eyes of Palestinians
aphorisms and idioms, I Dwell in a lake with the enigmatic consciousness of Vivian,
In Oblivion, yes, I'm equivalent to juvenile delinquents locked in cubicles like simians, 

Engineers of Roman ridge, I walk as a voiceless poet so I am not to be spoken with
An erosionist, a philosopher's chair of obsolete theories is were a slogan sits
Behold the glimpse that cause' dyspeptic cells to suffocate from hemoglobin lifts
Abstract thoughts resonate like a transverse wave accelerating down Tacoma Bridge, 

I'm an obscenity, a form of a shadow lost at the back of the mind of a Pharaoh
Dynamic entity, allegorical alphabets stand on a hook like a Gallo

My equation is amazing, defy fundamental laws and the breaking of concepts such as proton immigration, a great integration of soul in the face of the astray
Paid a deed when I never prayed
Laid a seed on the floor to proliferate in the present day
Till tomorrow I'm a renegade featherweight, clever as a veteran to devastate
Resonate better waves, mental engines ventilate
Meditate on a page of paper till a pen or pencil penetrates
From seven Olive trees they could severe eight
Lyricist of ceilings when the ink starts to levitate, Did I dedicate my tongue to brevity, probably
I'm awfully obsessed with the alphabet choice of Odysseus
Puncture bodies with the Damocles,
My arteries are impelled to the very roots of the Olive trees.

A word from the creator: 
This is video footage I shoot in July of  2012 in Croatia. It was a cloudy week here in Germany and I desperately felt the need to see some sun. So I jumped into my car and drove all the way down (1000km) to this place. Back home the video footage inspired me to create the music you listen to right now. For me, combining a picture and music in such a way is pure joy. I hope you enjoy it, too.

I took some liberties with it, replacing the chords on the left hands with mini arpeggios, and playing it on electric instruments. I call this take "Electrocution". :-) A little bit Vangelis-style.

The instrument is Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Rhodes Mark I electric piano set to low and a pulse wave virtual-analog waveform oscillator.

Adding a lot of reverb and dark synth pads to this piece, making it sound a little bit like something out of Vangelis' Blade Runner soundtrack. I'm playing it too fast.

The instrument is a Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Steinway Model D grand piano, some virtual analog synthesizer, and an enormous amount of reverb.

La Boum Theme, composed by Vladimir Cosma for the French film La Boum ("The Party", or "Ready for Love") starring Sophie Marceau (the evil Bond girl in The World Is Not Enough - they always pick French actors to play evil characters anyway). Richard Sanderson performed the song "Reality", and the 2011 Korean film Sunny used it too.

The film, cult in France, is about insecure teenagers falling in love so I thought that all my mistakes playing it would fit the narrative.

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha CS-80 electric piano sound from 1976 (synth used a lot by Vangelis but for other sounds) and hints of strings.
