It’s been a while... but not too late.

Back then it was every second week,
Coffee cups, long talks, no need to speak.
You knew my silence, I knew your laugh,
The kind of bond time never halves.

Then came the job, the move, the miles,
Different skies, different dials.
We said we’d stay close, we really tried —
But distance wins when the days just fly.

Still got a light on, still got a key,
Still got your name in my melody.
Even through the pause and space in between,
You were always here in every dream.
Now you’re back — not just in mind —
Still got a light on, anytime.

You showed up last week at that old café,
And just like that, the years slipped away.
Same old rhythm, same inside jokes,
Same way your eyes still speak in strokes.

I didn’t know how much I missed
Those aimless walks, that silly list.
Now that you’re near, I finally see —
It wasn’t just time, it was a part of me.

Still got a light on, still got a key,
Still got your name in my melody.
Even through the pause and space in between,
You were always here in every dream.
Now you’re back — not just in mind —
Still got a light on, anytime.

Still got a light on, still got a chair,
Still got that spot, it’s always there.
Even when we wandered, even when apart,
You carried my voice, I carried your heart.
Now we’re back — right on time —
Still got a light on…
Still got the rhyme.

Come over soon...
The kettle’s on.
You know the way...
Still got a light on.
Still got a light on.

Still Got A Light On

May I introduce three chosen members of Vocalite and the spherical sound. 
(Also known as a three-part choir) and the godfather of synthesizers, 
Elka-Synthex from Italy... the year is 1987... A Duet with choir 
(three female singers) and an Elka Synthex (three-part harmony)

This is the second part dedicated to the Vocalite.
1.) Vocalite and  2.) Quai uan Ta ru

Story to the Song...
The Vocalites follow an ancient code: "Only those who hear the rhythm of the cosmos can maintain balance." In their dances, which illuminate the desert in eternal motion, they find peace and the eternity that only the techno universe can offer.

The maturation process that the Vocalites must undergo lasts hundreds of years, during which they learn the rhythm of the cosmos. "Quai uan Ta ru" is the song they must perform as a test before the cosmos... the cosmos gives them the spherical triad, which they must follow in three-part chant.  At the end of the cosmic test, the spherical sound unites and sings a duet with the chosen Vocalites.

This duet leads the people of Vocalite to the highest fulfillment of "being one with the cosmos."    

Have fun...  Robert / O ZERO

Statement
I have nothing against AI music, but I would like to point out that this piece was created by three singers and a keyboard player. Even though I myself don't receive a fee, the singers were compensated for their skills and work.
The singers also underwent vocal training to develop these voices. I myself cannot sing and have the utmost respect for their abilities. Furthermore, they sing truly beautifully, which is not due to me, but solely to their talent.
AI music is interesting, but I cannot and will not bring myself to give preference to an AI over these talented people and over us humans in general.

El Pianista

Leurs silhouettes encadrées par la lumière du jour marquent le début d'un nouveau chapitre
Des années plus tard la cabane de chêne est ornée de fleurs vibrantes symbole d'un amour durable et de nouveaux départs
Claire et Louis partagent une tendre étreinte leurs visages rayonnants de joie et de contentement
Les années s'évanouissent alors qu'ils se serrent l'un contre l'autre entourés par la beauté et la tranquilité de leur sanctuaire
Leur histoire d'amour continue gravée sur fond de Chêne serein et intemporel

Synopsis
Claire et Louis, amis d'enfance, construisent une cabane provenant d'un chêne, symbole de leur amitié. Un été, un simple contact révèle des sentiments plus profonds. La séparation survit avec le déménagement de Claire. Des années plus tard, les réseaux sociaux les reconnectent, et ils se retrouvent dans un parc d'attractions. Leur amour renaît, culminant en un mariage sous un chêne de leur enfance.

Un nouveau départ

Let me in music

Inspired by the American Songwriter Association’s weekly prompt to write a song about yourself, “Not That Girl” reflects my journey through divorce and rediscovering my strength.

Thank you for listening, liking,

Not That Girl

Pull me Close

drug friends by Nova J

[Intro]
Mmm whuhmm

[Verse 1]
When you were high, they were stopping by
When supplies ran low, they hit the road
If you stock back up, they wanna come ‘round 
All them flakes and fakes, fillin’ up your place
With their tall tales, like killer whales
Comin’ for your blow hole

[Pre Chorus]
But you can’t sustain the life they demand
To hang out with your ice in their cocktail glass

[Chorus]
Cuz they drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

[Hook]
Whoa oooh but drug friends 

[Verse 2]
Cuz they all say how much they love it there
If they play games and scroll for days
And they all show up ‘till you fool yourself
Into thinking you’re popular in all ways 
And you can’t believe you put faith in phony rats
And you’re sick n’ tired of fair weather sycophants 

[Chorus]
Cuz they drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

Drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

[Hook]
(Whoa oh oh ooop oh oh ooop)
Whoa oooh whoa oooh 
whoa ooooh whoa ooooh whoa oh oh whoa oh oh

[Bridge]
You wrote your best friend from rehab
He stood you up when you got clean 
Your friend with benefits ghosts you 
Cuz sober sex ain’t his game
Your heart is broke n’ betrayed 
By they selfish and hurtful ways

[Chorus]
Cuz they drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

Drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

[Hook]
(Whoa oh ooop whoa oh oh ooop oooh whoa whoa)
Whoa oh oh ooop oh oh ooop oooh whoa oh whoa oooh

[Final Chorus]
Drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

Drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends

drug friends

The Other Side

Just finished this afternoon. Looks can be deceptive. Never judge someone without knowing them !

Beneath the tartan sky so grey 
A heart can sing A heart can stray 
You see my face But nae my soul 
Do ye ken the part that makes me whole  

Don’t judge a book by its cover My dear
 The truth’s in the pages The love’s in the tears 
A glance won’t tell you The depth of the sea 
Look closer Love And you’ll truly see me  

The heather blooms on hills of green
 But thorns lie hidden Sharp Unseen 
A voice can charm A smile can glow 
But the story’s more than what it shows  

Turn the pages Take your time 
Feel the rhythm Hear the rhyme  

Don’t judge a book by its cover My dear 
The truth’s in the pages The love’s in the tears 
A glance won’t tell you The depth of the sea 
Look closer Love And you’ll truly see me  


Like a kilted breeze that whispers low 
There’s more to me than I let show 
Unravel the threads Weave the truth anew 
And find a heart that beats for you

Don’t judge a book by its cover .mp3

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?
