Sharpnesses And Tremors

The Black Night of the Spirit

The Black Night Of The Spirit

On several occasions, throughout various compositions of mine, I’ve emphasized how a melody or theme was based on something I wrote long ago, during my teenage years.
In this instance, the main theme is probably one of the very first things I ever composed—likely my first 'Eureka' moment, when I first gained some clarity about my musical gifts. Needless to say, this melody holds immense personal significance.
After all this time, I’ve finally decided to properly honor it by writing a set of variations.

Ode For Piano, A Minor, No. 2

While I was composing my F-sharp minor Fantasy, I found myself stuck on a particular middle section, struggling to find the right variation to complete the piece. Eventually, I succeeded, but before that happened, I wrote numerous segments that didn’t quite fit into the piece.

Fortunately, some of these discarded variations began to resonate with each other, leading to the creation of smaller pieces that I grew very fond of. The first of these became my Prelude in F-sharp Minor, and the second, the Moment Musicaux in A Major.

These two compositions share some motivic figures down to the note, yet in feeling and meaning, they couldn’t be more different. Despite the brief scope of the Moment Musicaux in question, I believe there is much to discover within it, with every new small section providing something unique and unexpected.

Moment Musicaux for Piano, A Major

Not all things fade by nature. Some are made to disappear.

Evanescent Frequency mirrors a world where decay is no longer organic but imposed, where lifespans—of objects, ideas, and even sound—are carefully engineered to be short-lived. In nature, resonance lingers, and silence comes gradually. But in an age of programmed obsolescence, disappearance is manufactured, ensuring that what was once essential is discarded before its time.

The music unfolds in this same manufactured cycle. It begins with fragments—small pulses of energy, scattered textures that gradually coalesce, gaining complexity and momentum. Harmonies expand, orchestration thickens, and layers accumulate, reflecting the illusion of permanence and progress.

At its peak, the structure begins to dissolve. But this is not destruction—it is an unraveling, an enforced stillness that overtakes what was once vibrant. The density of sound fades into weightlessness, harmonies drift apart, and resonance becomes ghostly, as if the music itself is slipping away into the unreachable. The frequencies do not end abruptly but instead dissolve into an ethereal quiet, mirroring the way things vanish from use yet never fully disappear.

Evanescent Frequency is a meditation on impermanence, on the forces that decide what is allowed to endure and what is designed to be forgotten. It asks us to listen—to what fades, to what remains, and to the silence left behind.

Andantino dal Notturno N° 2 Op. 4 J. K. Mertz - I. M. Regazzo (2024) HD

This track was written as my submission for the "Broken Telephone Jam #8". The prompt was to write a piece of music (1 to 2 minutes) that captures the essence of the artwork provided. 

When I saw the cute frog character (named Rosetta!) I immediately started imagining lore/stories for the scene. The lights coming from Rosetta's hands read, to me, as some new-found power or magic that she did not know was there before. That the forest had somehow awakened this power within her.

This piece captures the exact moment of that awakening: when wonder eclipses fear, and the world begins to feel bigger and more mysterious than ever before. It’s not the beginning of a heroic quest, but of something quieter and more personal. Rosetta isn’t setting out to save the world, but rather, she is leaving home to discover where she belongs in it.

I blended orchestral and electronic/synth elements to try to bring a unique sound/aesthetic for telling this story. I hope you enjoy!

Rosetta’s Awakening

Composed , Produced, Written and Arranged by Jah-Femi Telewa

Angel’s Song is a hauntingly beautiful fusion of hip-hop and orchestral soul, opening with angelic choir harmonies and poetic reflections on love, peace, and divine presence. With ethereal ahhhs and vivid imagery, it captures the serenity of nightfall as angels sing and bells ring softly in the background. A meditative journey through sound and spirit.

Lyrics 
Ahhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhh
Ahhh

Let the angels sing,
Let the light true lovers bring.
When the rain falls down,
The flowers would shed petals as they drown.

When night falls dim and the angels start to sing,
That’s when the joy it brings
Settles on the night to bring it calm.

Angels sing,
Calm it brings.

Watch the nighttime,
They’re singing—
The angels
Keep singing.
The bells ring,
Keep ringing,
At the nighttime
While you’re sleeping.

Watch the nighttime,
They’re singing—
The angels
Keep singing.
The bells ring,
Keep ringing,
At the nighttime
While you’re sleeping.

Ahhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh

Dark Valley

In the valley where the children do not play,
The sun will withhold its shine, shedding not a ray.

In that place where sunlight’s shy,
Children will not play—
’Tis just the way it does occur today.

If you should walk across this valley in the day,
You bet I’ll be by your side, showing you the way.
Even when you’re in fear of dark,
I will be your light
To guide you through this treacherous dark display.

Chorus
Light through partway has never been seen,
Not even in the mornings when
The songbirds love to sing.
My guide through this partway will conjure a display
To guide you to the place you have to be.

Say, my light through partway has never been seen,
Not even in the mornings when
The songbirds love to sing—
Say, the birds love to sing in the morning.

Dark Valley feat . Phoebe Street: Real Singer, Real instruments

A gentle classical composition that soothes the soul and invites deep rest. Blending soft orchestral textures with a lullaby-like cadence, this piece is perfect for winding down, meditation, or peaceful reflection. Let the music carry you into restful sleep.

Rest

Restful sleep,
Sleep,
Sleep.

Restful sleep,
Sleep,
Sleep.

Restful sleep,
Sleep,
Sleep.

Restful sleep, my child.

Rest for day, till night comes again.
Pati-en-tly pace your breath as you lay.

Restful sleep,
Sleep,
Sleep.

Restful sleep,
Sleep,
Sleep.

Restful sle-ep,
Still deep.

Restful sle-ep,
Soft, sweet.

Restful sle-ep,
Still deep.

Restful sleep, my child.

Times would be tough
When you come of age.
Mind all troubles—
Things would be rough.

Restful sleep,
Soft, sweet.

Restful sleep,
Still deep.

🎵 Title: Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace
🎼 Composer: Michael Herter

🕒 Duration: 05:07
🐢 Tempo: Slow
🎻 Genre: Classical / Neoclassical / Soundtrack
🎧 Mood: Romantic, Emotional, Poetic
🎬 Video: https://youtu.be/2qpfngZPqsU

📝 Description
"Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace" is a chamber composition for eight instruments, deeply rooted in the expressive tradition of the Russian musical school, profoundly inspired by the legacies of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Georgy Sviridov. The piece seeks to capture the ephemeral beauty of memory, weaving an atmosphere of tender melancholy and quiet contemplation, as if illuminated by the delicate glow of a winter landscape.

At its heart lies the theme of nostalgia — a longing for moments lost, expressed through a lyrical dialogue between the strings (first and second violins, viola, cello, and double bass) and the poignant timbre of the winds (flute, oboe, and clarinet). The strings evoke heartfelt emotions, whispering tales of cherished recollections, while the winds add a breath of airy lightness and a subtle shimmer of hope. The double bass provides a resonant foundation, grounding the composition in the timeless embrace of the natural world.

This work transcends a specific narrative, instead inviting listeners on an emotional journey — a meditation on the fleeting nature of time, the enduring power of the human spirit, and the universal search for harmony. "Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace" is a sonic painting, a tapestry of sound designed to stir the soul and awaken the imagination. It’s a testament to the beauty found within stillness, and a celebration of the delicate balance between joy and sorrow.

📝 Description

"Tango in the Rain" sweeps you into a world where every drop of water becomes a heartbeat and every note a whispered promise. Picture a cobblestone street drenched under a silver glow, footsteps echoing as violin and piano entwine in a passionate embrace. The sultry melody of the violin weeps with longing, while the cello’s warm timbre pulses like a lover’s steady breath. The piano’s chords glisten — each keystroke a raindrop dancing on your skin.

As the storm intensifies, the quartet’s rhythm tightens: viola strokes snap like lightning, and the cello’s low-register whispers anchor you in a moment of shared vulnerability. The interplay of solo lines and lush harmonies evokes a stolen midnight rendezvous, drenched in longing and defiance. You can almost feel the dancers’ wet shoes sliding across the pavement, their bodies in perfect tension, surrendering to the music’s electric current.

Here, sorrow and joy swirl together, creating a tapestry of desire that is at once urgent and tender. "Tango in the Rain" isn’t just a piece — it’s an invitation to lose yourself in a torrential romance that refuses to let go.

==== Introducing the Song ====

Prepare to be swept away by the romantic tones of "Aquarela – Um Encontro em Veneza", a tender and cinematic ballad that turns fleeting moments into everlasting emotions. In this musical collaboration between Uli and lyricist Dani, a dream journey through Venice unfolds into a story painted with the softest strokes of fate, longing, and rediscovery.

“Aquarela” isn’t just a song. It’s an emotional painting that reminds us: true love moves like art—unexpected, vivid, and unforgettable.

==== Lyrics in Brazilian Portuguese ====

(Verse 1)
A tão esperada viagem chegou
E um grande sonho então se realizou
Lugar encantado, Veneza, cidade do amor
Brilhos nos olhos, tudo aqui hipnotizou

(Verse 2)
Entre os passeios, tudo era ideal
Até que algo fugiu do normal
Um vento leve soprou devagar
E o meu chapéu começou a voar

(Chorus)
Te vi ali tão bela
Alegrou a minha aquarela
Riso solto, olhos de mar
E o mundo inteiro parou pra olhar

(Verse 3)
Dias incríveis a caminhar
Com vinho, gôndolas e noites ao luar
Mas por escolha do destino cruel
Nem seu contato eu consegui salvar

(Interlude) 
Num mundo feito de esquinas
E passos apressados
Dois corações tocados pelo acaso agora se perdem no vazio da imensidão
Mas o destino não grita
Ele vira a página com calmaria
Em algum silêncio escondido
Um doce encontro ainda espera florescer...

(Chorus 2)
São lembranças inegáveis de um encontro entre duas almas
Como uma flor crescendo ao sol que o destino arrancou
Mas no fim da jornada encantada
Quando a tristeza já me alcançava
Lá no aeroporto a mágica brilhou
Eu te vi de novo, o tempo parou...

(Outro)
Era o destino dizendo oi
Dando ao amor mais uma chance
A viagem foi bela e você coloriu minha vida com sua aquarela
Com sua aquarela
Sua aquarela revela o amor. 

                          ==== Lyrics in English ====

(Verse 1)
The long-awaited trip arrived
And a great dream came true
An enchanted place, Venice, city of love
Sparkle in the eyes, everything here hypnotized

(Verse 2)
Between the walks, everything was ideal
Until something went wrong
A light wind blew slowly
And my hat began to fly

(Chorus)
I saw you there, so beautiful
Overjoyed up my watercolor
Loose laughter, sea-like eyes
And the whole world stopped to watch

(Verse 3)
Incredible days to walk
With wine, gondolas, and moonlit nights
But by the choice of cruel fate
I couldn't even save your phone number

(Interlude)
In a world made of corners
Hurried steps
Two hearts touched by chance now get lost in the emptiness of immensity
But fate doesn't shout
It turns the page calmly
In some hidden silence
A sweet encounter still waits to blossom...

(Chorus) 2)
They are undeniable memories of a meeting between two souls
Like a flower growing in the sun that fate plucked
But at the end of the enchanted journey
When sadness had already reached me
There at the airport the magical glow
I saw you again, time stood still...

(Outro)
It was fate saying hello
Giving love another chance
The journey was beautiful and you colored my life with your watercolor
With your watercolor
Your watercolor reveals the love.

A SHORT PIECE FOR À CAPPÈLLA
Music by Overdrive
All voices performed by Mick Jimenez

This is my small contribution to the à cappèlla music genre. There is no AI here; everything was composed from scratch and in the old-fashioned way. The baroque fugue lessons taught by late Sister Xavier, a cheerful nun who was my piano teacher when I was nine, were especially useful here. 

All vocals were performed and recorded by the talented Argentine musician Mick Jimenez Barr, a baritone singer who also helped choose the best phonemes for this little piece.

In addition to being an exceptional singer, Mick is a bassist, guitarist, keyboardist, and fan of bands such as Queen, The Cars, and The Beatles. Check out Mick's pages on Soundcloud and Fiverr and listen to his unbelievable vocal performances:

A Shiny Non-Euclidean Sarabande - submission for Composer Weekend Jam #3 hosted by Joe Chris of ScoringTech.NET for Itch.IO July 2025 – exedexes1

I'm getting called on the carpet by the music theorists for inaccurately (randomly) naming it a Sarabande, and they're right.  Nuff said lol.

The music jam prompt was to go find a piece of graphic art and be inspired by it.
I chose to take a tour of being slightly influenced (for 4-5 seconds each and then to veer away sharply) from various Classical Composers.
as follows:

1. Dieterich Buxtehude (c. 1637–1707):
Canzonetta in A Minor BuxWV 225
Toccata in D BuxWV 155

the only composer where I used more than one piece this evening.
I spent about 3 hours on this overall submission.

2. Gioseffo Zarlino (1517–1590).

Veni sancte spiritus, motet

3. Johann Pachelbel (1653–1706).

Praeludium in D.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750).
I actually did skip JSB its already evident my entire corpus of output is already heavily influenced.

4. François Couperin (1668–1733).

Ordre 12 in E or E-, 8.L'Atalante

5. Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632–1687).

Les folies d’espagne,

6. Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767).

36 Fantaisies for Harpsichord, TWV33, No.13 in C-

7. Johann Joseph Fux (1660–1741).

Grave, for 2 trombones

8. Domenico Scarlatti (1685–1757).

Sonata in C-, K.99, L.317, P.135, F.57, Allegro

9. Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683–1764).

Nouvelles suites de pièces de clavecin, Suite in G/G- - 6.Les Sauvages

A Shiny Non-Euclidean Sarabande submission for Composer Weekend #3 for Itch.IO July 2025

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.
