Good Chiptune/Retro I Found 2

just another instrumental; a kafeneion is a traditional Greek coffee house, where people - mostly men- used to meet and talk, drink coffee and play tavli = backgammon;  so the title means "in the coffee house"

I Believe You Promised Me Unpleasantness (Alpha Remaster)

Originally I had written this more than a year ago under the heavy influence of Sonic Youth and Thurston Moore memoirs in particular (around the same time as "Forgotten Boy" which was also driven by the same matters). I tried to record it back then though the result wasn't quite satisfying, so until now it existed only as an Instagram reel where I was playing it live.

It could have remained like this if I hadn't realized that this tune might fit in perfectly with my new Da Tape De H project. So here it is, wide dynamics and fierce high-gain strumming properly produced and put on tape with Tascam 424 MKIII portastudio.

STAY

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
as my mind tells me
different things
my heart beats fast
then slow, it skips
I freeze

I'm hot, I'm cold
I'm fine, I'm not
I'm fire, I'm ice

burning with love
I retreat to an arctic heart

[Chorus]
I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

with hearts cracked open
we bleed on each other
can we heal together
or do we both 
drown in the blood

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

is it a warning
or am i reinforcing
admonitions 

[Verse 2]
as my trauma 
comes to bare 
my heart breaks
I crash then blow, 
I hurt, I just
freeze

I'm hot, I'm cold
I'm fine, I'm not
I'm fire, I'm ice

burning with love
I retreat to an arctic heart

[Verse 3]
are my feelings valid
i don't know
am I afraid
afraid to be happy
afraid to be hurt
I don't know

[Chorus]
I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

with hearts cracked open
we bleed on each other
can we heal together
or do we both 
drown in the blood

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

So Confused

On Read is a stripped-back chant-pop anthem about silence, distance, and control. With sharp lyrics, real-world language, and a hypnotic rhythm, it captures the quiet power of letting go — and knowing they’re still watching. Built for loop, chant, and replay. No filler. Just facts.

On Read

Original composition….Alejandro Gonzalez M.

Shore Waves

This Is Love - PJ Harvey Cover

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
