These are songs that relax me. And relaxation is important. Very important.

Relaxing

Sittin’ on my blue couch, sinking in my golden cage,
Staring at the TV, but it's showing empty space.
Politics are drowning, in a sea of lost regrets,
And my boyfriend? Oh, he’d forget my name, I bet.
The world spins ‘round, but I stand still,
Everything’s a rerun, nothing left to thrill.

Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.
Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.

Flipping through the channels, every story sounds the same,
Rain is tapping on the window, but I don’t wanna play.
Books are full of wisdom that I’m way too tired to read,
And bedtime’s far away, but there’s nowhere else to be.
The world moves fast, but I just stare,
Waiting for a moment, that was never there.

Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.

The world spins ‘round, but I stand still,
Everything’s a rerun, nothing left to thrill.

Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.
Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.

Maybe I should call him, ask him where the hell he’s been,
But I know he’d make excuses, then he’d just forget again.
Maybe I should step outside and let the raindrops win,
But I’ll probably just sit right here, and let the night begin.

The world spins ‘round, but I stand still,
Everything’s a rerun, nothing left to do.

Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Guess I'm just a shadow in a world without a clue.

Stasis

A Walk In The Park

Canyons of glass
World’s moving fast
Lost my own name
In the endless game
Was looking for a sign
A single silver line
A whisper in the roar
Something to adore

'Cause I found the green inside the city’s grey
Found a wooden bench and watched the world just fade away
Right here in the heart of all the noise and spin
My soul can finally breathe again, and let the light come in.

An old tree stands
With patient hands
The sun breaks through
A different blue
No need to run or hide
Just feeling what's inside
A quiet, gentle grace
In this forgotten space

'Cause I found the green inside the city’s grey
Found a wooden bench and watched the world just fade away
Right here in the heart of all the noise and spin
My soul can finally breathe again, and let the light come in.

Maybe you get lost just to be found
To feel your feet on sacred ground
The rushing river turns to a silent pool
And you become the exception to the rule.

Yes, I found the green inside the city’s grey!
Found my wooden bench and watched the world just fade away!
Right here in the heart of all the noise and spin
My soul can finally breathe again, and let the light come in!

Let the light come in…
Breathe it in…
In the green… in the grey…
Fade away…
Let the light come in…

Let The Light Come In

From silent rooms
And separate streets
The call goes out
For friends to meet
One single voice
Then two, then three
A different kind
Of gravity

The air begins to hum and feel
Like something turning, something real
Friendship is a living flame
Where truth can speak and feel no shame
A constellation in the dark
Every friend a burning spark
Friendship is a living flame

The old ideas
Begin to bend
A broken thought
A trusted friend
Can help it mend
With a new reply
Reflected in
A dozen eyes

The world outside just fades away
There's only what our friends all say
Friendship is a living flame
Where truth can speak and feel no shame
A constellation in the dark
Every friend a burning spark
Friendship is a living flame

And maybe there's a witness here
To the friendship that we're holding dear
A silent watcher, holding space
For the truth on every friendly face
A grace that we can't see or name
That feels us burn like one bright flame
There's only what our friends all say

Friendship is a living flame!
Where truth can speak and feel no shame!
A constellation in the dark!
Every friend a burning spark!
Friendship is a living flame!
A living flame!

A Living Flame

Stone and silence built this town
Mountain giants looking down
Holding me in place, you see
A pretty cage for what is me

Faces here are calm and deep
Secrets that their routines keep
But in my soul, a different light
A restless fire in the night

There has to be more to believe...
There has to be more to be...
And oh, the world is calling low
A whisper on the winds that blow
This quiet death, I have to leave
There's more to be, more to believe

I see an angel in the red
Of evening skies above my head
He paints the edge of all I know
With colors that command me: go.

This thirst for more, this holy need
To plant a new and foreign seed
And oh, the world is calling low
A whisper on the winds that blow
This quiet death, I have to leave
There's more to be, more to believe

The doorstep is a line of fear
But standing here, it's crystal clear
One self must end, so one can start
To find its own and greater part.

Oh yeah, the world is calling low
A whisper on the winds that blow
This quiet death, I have to leave
There's more to be, more to believe

The world is calling...
Calling low...
And I must go...
I must go...
Go...

More to Believe

On Titan's shore, the air is new
An atmosphere of silver-blue
The ground we shaped, a lonely stage
To turn a cosmic, final page

The king of rings begins to bow
I watch him sink, I don't know how
This broken heart of light and dust
Can fill my own with so much trust

If I cried out, a fragile plea...
Who in this void would answer me?
Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

A beauty made of cosmic dust
A silent witness to my lust
For something real in this cold place
Reflected in my human face

Falling down, the light, the grace
Falling out of time and space
Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

My name dissolves, my body breaks
For every breath the silence takes
I am the eye, I am the gleam
A waking part of this strange dream
Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

Saturn Fall
Saturn Fall
Part of the fall...
Part of the light...
A fading whisper...
In the endless night...

Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

Saturn Is Falling

Lyrics:
Ma belle, viens graviter dans mon orbite
Captive de mes attracteurs étranges.
Mes mots et mes gestes doux t’invitent
Pendant que nos regards se mélangent.

De ton rêve pelucheux comme une lépiote
Je parcours les étoiles noires et palpitantes
Ployée sous le poids conquérant de mes bottes
Tu quémandes mes caresses enivrantes.

(Chorus)
Minette astrale de rosée carnivore
Chair corail ruisselante de tes envies
Le temps se cache mais nous dévore
Dans notre jardin palpitant d’infini

Foufoune power, rêves concentriques
Guerrière lubrique,  matriarche adorée
Goudou doll, ma figure métaphorique,
Dans tes parfums chauds et mordorés

Et ta puissance est un divin présage
Un frémissement doux et gynarchique
Les chiens se dressent sous l’orage
De tes folles émulsions alchimiques

(Chorus)
Minette astrale de rosée carnivore
Chair corail ruisselante de tes envies
Le temps se cache mais nous dévore
Dans notre jardin palpitant d’infini


Ergot satanique, fruit gorgé de sang
Ton plaisir frémi en langues éclectiques.
Il se noie dans des arômes évanescents
De candeurs et d’extases métalliques.

Trente centimètres de latex et de plaisir
Se tendent à mon bassin souple et ondulant
Ta croupe s’offre, j’ajuste mon harnais de cuir
Et, amoureuse, je te prends tendrement.  

(Chorus)
Minette astrale de rosée carnivore
Chair corail ruisselante de tes envies
Le temps se cache mais nous dévore
Dans notre jardin palpitant d’infini


Minette astrale

It is a great honor to introduce this special musical project set to the powerful and beautiful poetry of the extraordinary Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral. This work was made possible with the kind permission of the Gabriela Mistral Foundation.
I want to give special thanks to the remarkable soprano Maribel Villarroel, whose stunning voice gave life and soul to each piece. Her deeply personal interpretation and awe-inspiring vocals brought authenticity and passion to this music. I am equally grateful to the brilliant pianist and arranger René Calderón, whose sensitivity and artistry are infused into every note. Their talent, dedication, and collaborative spirit have taken this project to levels I could only dream of as a composer.
Gabriela Mistral’s poems speak to the heart with timeless emotion, strength, and depth. Creating music for her words was both a challenge and a privilege, an emotional journey that led us to deep connections with her legacy and message.
The visual side of this release is also something I’m excited to share. The album cover was created by the outstanding Chilean artist Giovanni Gellona, whose artwork beautifully reflects the emotion and atmosphere of the music and Mistral’s poetry, and projects both her dignity and lovingness.
This album is not just a musical interpretation; it is a tribute to Chilean culture, poetry, and artistic collaboration. I hope listeners around the world can feel the love, effort, and respect behind every note.
I invite you to experience Gabriela Mistral’s poetry through this musical lens and share it with others who might be moved by it. 
With gratitude,
Pamela Illanes-Tatsuoka

CREDO
(Letra del poema “Credo” de Gabriela Mistral)

Creo en mi corazón, ramo de aromas
que mi Señor como una fronda agita,
perfumando de amor toda la vida
y haciéndola bendita.

Creo en mi corazón, que cuando canta
hunde en el Dios profundo el flanco herido,
para subir de la piscina viva
como recién nacido.

Credo

Music inspired by Arthurian legends and Avalon. According to legend, Arthur would one day return to Britain to lead again when he is most needed. Arthur was taken to the isle of Avalon to be healed from his mortal wound following the Battle of Camlann, to eventually awaken and rule again. Hence the myth "Once and Future King".

Between the Worlds II

Once and Future King

This piece is about recognition and maybe also a bit about loss, losing things in all different ways. Maybe you can give more description to this piece, what it does for you..... Hope you enjoy!

Did you ever fear the blank page ? i often do !

Shut up and play !

When doubt suddenly grips me
a blank page
not a single note
my head falters
and then everything freezes

When suddenly the desire eludes me
I can't find the words for my chords
there's no point in lying to myself

Then comes
despair
I can't even move my fingers anymore
I'm really just doing anything
but sometimes I still hear a little voice
that near me
whispers softly
Shut up and play!

When giving it all up is tempting
yes, it's silly
I agree
but I can't help it when it haunts me

Misk - Hazy

   Howdy friends and hopefully everybody is looking forwards to a very Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends this year! We need a little cheering up! This is a song I wrote in 2021 during the pandemic and it's partially about my favorite film of all time "The Wizard Of Oz" with Judy Garland. I've loved this film since I was a kid and now I own like 20 copies of it in all formats and watch it once a year religiously! The song is mostly about finding our inner child and returning to that time when everything seemed to be an adventure and there was magic in the air and music all around! It's like a dream song and as everyone knows there are good things and bad things in dreams, there are friends and there are witches sometimes, as in life, but the journey is always well-worth it for me! 
      This was also one of the first music-videos I ever made with the help of my wonderful wife and it was really too choppy and the clips I used were really blurry and I used way too many gif's and the sound was muddy. At the time we thought it was great but when I rewatched it, I knew I needed to redo it! So earlier this year I decided to do a remix of the song and the video. I added several more clips but couldn't really find any nice clear ones from "The Wizard Of Oz" because it's copyrighted I guess, so I had to use fuzzy ones but you guys get the picture! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/LkCsp-0wLUA

     The song is one of my best with some of my best lyrics, I think. It's all about Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) and her finding her inner child and wanting to go on a journey over the rainbow but when she gets there all she wants to do is go back home! Isn't that what we all want to do? We want to go back home but sadly we cannot. 
     I worked very hard on the song and Charlie really sang it well! My wife helped out on the backing vocals too. I hope the Remix turned out a little better than before. The video was a headache to put together because of all the "Wizard Of Oz" clips I inserted but I hope I did a decent job of it, it looks much better now than the origianl video I had done!
     So Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and let's all remember what it was like being a child, all the wonder and excitement that life seemed to offer us back then, for me it was a magical time and watching "The Wizard Of Oz" every Thanksgiving was part of that magic! I'll always remember the classic lines in the film like "Your heart is not judged by how much you love but by how much you are loved by other!" That's they key to life you know, oh and one more very important thing! "There's No Place like home"! (Ain't that the truth!) Happy Holidays!🙏😎✌🏼

“SOMEWHERE IN BLUE"

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?  
IS THAT STILL YOU UNDERNEATH?   
ARE YOU STILL GROWING?
CAN IT BE TRUE? IS THAT STILL YOU?  
     
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?  
WHAT GOALS HAVE YOU ACHIEVED?                 
ARE YOU IMPROVING?   
CAN IT BE TRUE?     
THEY SAY WHAT'S OLD RETURNS BRAND NEW,  
THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I ONCE KNEW,    
SHE STILL IN THERE SOMEWHERE IN BLUE,

ARE YOU ENLIGHTENED?  
HAVE YOU EXPANDED YOUR MIND?   
IS LIFE EXCITING?    
CAN IT BE TRUE?  IS THAT STILL YOU? 
     
ARE YOU EVOLVING?  
HAVE YOU LEFT CHILDHOOD BEHIND?   
WAS IT WORTH SOLVING?   
CAN IT BE TRUE?  
THEY SAY OLD WOUNDS LEAVE SCAR TISSUE,  
THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I ONCE KNEW,  
IS SHE STILL IN THERE SOMEWHERE IN BLUE?

GROWING UP IS HARD,        
HANG-UPS CAN SOMETIMES SPOIL THE VIEW,         
THE HOOPS YOU'RE JUMPING THROUGH,          
CAN GET THE BEST OF YOU,         
SO FIND THAT LITTLE GIRL HIDING IN THERE,         
SOMEWHERE IN BLUE,
     
OOH THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I ONCE KNEW,
SHE STILL IN THERE SOMEWHERE IN BLUE, 
THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I ONCE KNEW.

Le 4e voyage (Instrumental)

I'm now taking a six-week digital detox vacation.
We'll see and hear from each other again in 2026!
Happy Holidays!

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.

My name is Volker Redder, online I go by "docredder." It all came about because I studied biology and computer science for a long time and received my doctorate as the crowning achievement of my academic career.
As a child, I sang Bach in the church's „Knabenchor Unser Lieben Frauen“ because my mother thought it was good for my soul. And it was, until, thanks to an excellent teacher, I realized that music is like mathematics. After that, I loved not only music but also mathematics and all sciences based on mathematics: physics, biology, chemistry, computer science. So, I went straight into the natural sciences and engineering. Yes, I studied a lot. However, a university career wasn't for me. I wanted to monetize the findings of the various sciences (you can't live on air and love alone) and founded over a dozen companies. Because who wants life to follow a clear formula? I certainly didn't. In addition to adventurous entrepreneurship, the subsequent career in politics (German Bundestag), and a growing family, I was constantly picking up the guitar or keyboard, which is what you do when you want to escape the chaos of everyday life.
Should I say I'm a virtuoso? No. That would be a lie. I'm just too lazy for that. Laziness, or in modern parlance, "efficiency," is a principle for me. And so I founded my "own studio," consisting of a lot of electronics and software. The hipsters call it DIY. I call it "not wanting to act like a big shot and book expensive recording studios." I'm a one-man orchestra, a chef-d'oeuvre who spends all day producing pop, rock, indie, and ambient mishmash until he finally finds it he likes. My menu? Pink Floyd, Genesis, Supertramp, Muse, Zappa, Miles Davis, and many more. Yes, all at once. I told you: mishmash.
There are guys who write music to become famous. Then there's me. I write music to keep myself from going crazy. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes there's melancholy in it, sometimes it's stories from literature or something sci-fi. Or from Tinder dates my daughters have told me. I mean, who hasn't wondered what "being in Tinder light" is? Exactly. I wrote it down. I use everything I can get my hands on: GarageBand, samples, my voice, AI voices, Udio, VirtualDJ, everything! I don't care if purists say it's no longer art. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that my music feels like a window you can look out of and discover something new again and again.
Every song becomes a little adventure. Sometimes I start with a line, sometimes with a feeling I can't shake. It's like an escape from reality, except in the end, there's no escape. And that's a good thing. This is how I stay grounded. Okay, grounded isn't the right word either. Let me put it this way: I've stayed true to myself. And I'm grateful for everyone who listens, shares, or comments.
It makes me feel like I'm not completely alone in this madness. So if you also like songs that don't follow the rules, I'd be happy if you joined in. After all, the world is crazy enough.
You have to fight that with music. I mean, that's logical, right?
