Exquisite. So many layers and sounds that works so well together. Impressive and inspiring...

So creative as always! I am very impressed by your liberty, how you cross borders with your musical skills... Bravo Dika :)

A very simple rock sound, but hopefully of impact and it's made of pure guitar.. 

When writing it, I imagined being on a huge stage facing thousands of fans.. Oh yeahhh! eheh ^_^  Maybe one day ..uh? ;-D

A cool Indie rock track with some grunge guitars and a cool bass and guitar riff. Ideal for advertising, fashion and more!

I am alive — I guess —
The Branches on my Hand
Are full of Morning Glory —
And at my finger's end —

The Carmine — tingles warm —
And if I hold a Glass
Across my Mouth — it blurs it —
Physician's — proof of Breath —

I am alive — because
I am not in a Room —
The Parlor — Commonly — it is —
So Visitors may come —

And lean — and view it sidewise —
And add "How cold — it grew" —
And "Was it conscious — when it stepped
In Immortality?"

I am alive — because
I do not own a House —
Entitled to myself — precise —
And fitting no one else —

And marked my Girlhood's name —
So Visitors may know
Which Door is mine — and not mistake —
And try another Key —

How good — to be alive!
How infinite — to be
Alive — two-fold — The Birth I had —
And this — besides, in — Thee!

I am alive - I guess

I am alive I guess

I Am Alive I Guess

Beginnings

For what we can and can't explain

Made in Michigan grit dusted with a touch of 70's Glam.

Ropes

R.E.M. influenced jangly guitar track. Had the chorus lyric and melody for years but never really finished the song off. In my head it's the story of a guy somewhere in the US pining for a girl he left behind in England in search of new life, some north of a statue standing somewhere east of London.

In The Space Of Lost

O Renascer de um Sonho

“I don't remember my dreams too much. I hardly have ever gotten ideas from nighttime dreams. But I love daydreaming and dream logic and the way dreams go” - David Lynch
​
I love to express stories through music and explore the visceral space that surrounds them. Sometimes I’m interested in creating sound collages, or tapestries of sound that are varied in their nature but unified in their aesthetic aim. Other times I surrender to something lyrical. Most of the time, I feel compelled to make sense of the world, which is impossible. But, after some work, which includes frustration, and occasional eureka moments, I find deep meaning and satisfaction in my music, especially as I near the finish line and embark on a collaborative journey with fellow creatives.
