Some of my Soundcloud Favourites #111

EACH TIME, IT IS AN HONOR AND MY PLEASURE TO WORK WITH HER.
Electra Volcana IS SUCH A GREAT ARTIST.
THANKS, SISTER, FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME!

I don't believe you and I were made for this.

Carrying out orders that do not come from within ourselves

I don't believe you and I were made for this.

To meet social expectations and not to attract attention


I don't believe you and I were made for submitting to anyone.

I believe you and I were made for finding our way back home.

I believe you and I were made for finding our way back home.

FINDING MY WAY (Electra Volcana/Druid)

The Pillars of Creation are majestic columns of gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, where new stars are born, and old ones die.
Stretching roughly 4 to 5 light-years, the Pillars of Creation are a fascinating but relatively small feature of the entire Eagle Nebula, which spans 70 by 55 light-years. 
Electronic track of a journey through the pillars with some allian chatter. This is a one take improvisation using 3 Apple computers running Arturia v with Logic Pro x.. So its in the vane of Tangerine Dream Start up the synths live and go. Experiment to see how stable software only synths would work live. Preparation of preset sounds is of course required so in Arturia V you can create your own preset and join several parts together in one sound. Arps and sequencing is live and a bit random.

Lyrics:
Maybe one day I’ll go sailing
Out on the big blue sea
Where the fishes swim around, going up and down 
Like a fish …….was meant to be

What a lovely way to spend the day 
Just being out there afloat 
And oh what joy to shout ahoy
From the deck of a sailing boat 

Sailing along in the sunshine
Just me and the ocean breeze
Then across the bay I’d make my way
Back home in time for tea

Steady as you go
Steady as you go   

Maybe one day I’ll go sailing 
Out on the big blue sea 
Along the coast I could make the most
Of the nautical scenery

What a lovely way to spend a day 
Just being out there afloat 
See a smugglers cove or a treasure trove
From the deck of a sailing boat 

Sailing along in the sunshine
Just me and the ocean breeze
Then across the bay I’d make my way
Back home in time for tea

Steady as you go
Steady as you go

Steady As You Go

Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.
