Пусть Я Буду...

Retro Future

Fading is not just a song—it’s a transmission from the in-between. Born over several years marked by illness and constrained resources, it carries the raw imprint of fragility, patience, and perseverance. Slow-moving but emotionally charged, Fading unfolds like a deep breath in slow motion. Layers of ghostly ambience, crumbling textures, and fractured rhythms form a sonic landscape that feels both intimate and cinematic.

Each element seems to dissolve and reform, as if memory itself were trying to reconstruct something lost. There’s no urgency here—just gravity, atmosphere, and a kind of beautiful inertia. It’s a track that doesn’t demand attention but rewards surrender, pulling listeners into its weightless orbit.

In the current landscape of experimental electronic music, Fading stands as a deeply personal and quietly defiant statement—not made in noise, but in nuance.

(Genre: Ambient Electronica / Deep Glitch Chillwave / Experimental Electronic)

Fading

Mad Racer

The jam called for music involving the final fall of a hero like they are dying after losing a fight.  My treatment has kind of the minute or two before the fight begins and then a jump scare and then i went with a short battle sequence and an electric guitar solo reminiscent of when Flash Gordon in the 1980 film was being executed with the poison gas (unsuccessfully as it turned out) to close us out.

Alive

Ce Soir Je Te Suis

"Summer’s on the Way" unfolds like a delicate embrace of warmth and serenity. The ambient textures drift effortlessly, carrying a sense of quiet anticipation—like the golden hour before summer fully arrives. Every note shimmers with soft elegance, blending airy synths and gentle harmonies into a soundscape that feels both expansive and intimate. The subtle rhythm pulses like a heartbeat beneath the surface, giving the composition a gentle momentum without ever overpowering its dreamlike atmosphere.

Summer´s on the way

Hikikomori (2018)

Occhi gonfi e lo sguardo dimesso
che denota imbarazzo
una timida stretta di mano
e poi un lungo abbraccio.

Di domande puoi farne se vuoi
ma quelle giuste
non aspettarti però
delle risposte.
Dai, lo sai, che faccio fatica
a dire quello che ho nella testa.

Chiudo gli occhi più forte che posso
magari scompare
ogni sguardo ed il peso del mondo
non lo so sopportare.

Io vorrei restare chiuso
dentro al mio cervello
ma voi, fuori, continuate 
a bussare, a bussare, a bussare
Non cercate di entrare
per favore
lasciatemi stare
a me penso io.

No non è cattiveria e lo sai
forse un po' di vergogna
voglio porre rimedio però
ad ogni mancanza.
Eccomi qua, ti risolvo la vita
senza pietà, con uno schiocco di dita.

E intanto la radio che passa
vecchie e nuove canzoni anni '80
un passato ingombrante che incalza
un presente che è stanco e che arranca.

Ed io dovrei darmi da fare 
per esser migliore
come voi, là fuori, che continuate 
a tentare, a cercare, a provare.
Sai ho una macchia sul cuore
ma adesso
se mi tendi la mano
lo faccio anch'io.

Occhi gonfi e lo sguardo dimesso
che denota imbarazzo
una timida stretta di mano
e poi un lungo abbraccio.


"Tutto il problema della vita è dunque questo: come rompere la propria solitudine, come comunicare con gli altri." (Cesare Pavese)

hikikomori

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.
