Wonderful melody Fivos my good friend and very well played and enjoyed. Very cool idea chap...

wonderful idea Fivos, I'll contact you, sounds just great

You have invited me to the terminus with music from the heart, so I can feel the music playing from the start. Though I have come but lately to hear the music play, the language of the artist beckoned me to stay. So glad I did, Fivos - a beautiful piece / peace in both senses!

YOU ARE AWESOME FIVOS, UR PLAYING IS WONDERFUL, AND UR TRACKS ARE WELL PRODUCED,  BIG FAN

My first collaboration track.

hello to all the friends of souncloud.
i would like to create a common song and listen to it in various, speak and musical languages and singed by different voices.
impossible? history will tell us something :)
so i'm looking for collaborations for that track.

1) lyrics
2) different remixes / arragements.
3) voice

First  track is only the piano part with chords without melodic line.
Second  track is the piano part with chords and melodic line (only for example.)
Thirst track is piano part with my voice in greek (be lenient and forgive the quality of voice.)

p.s. originally i have written it for a greek singer but at the end the project hasn't go on.

Starting Terminus - Piano Solo

lyrics in Deutsch: Joseph von Eichendorff.
voice: Katja Tennigkeit.
music and piano: Fivos Valachis

all of a sudden I receive en email with this sentence:
"Your piano playing reminded me so much of german romantic music, that I thought I would turn this into something like a "Kunstlied", just that I didn't want to sing it very classical. So I dived into the oevre of one of the favorite romantic poets, many of his poems were composed by Schubert, Schumann etc., Joseph von Eichendorff."

thanks Katja.
you gave new breath to this piece.

-------------------------
Die Stille

Es weiß und rät doch keiner,
Wie mir so wohl ist, so wohl!
Ach, wüßt' es nur einer, nur einer,
Kein Mensch es sonst wissen soll!

So still ist's nicht draußen im Schnee,
So stumm und verschwiegen sind
Die Sterne nicht in der Höhe,
als meine Gedanken sind.

Ich wünscht', es wär schon Morgen,
Da fliegen zwei Lerchen auf,
Die überfliegen einander,
Mein Herze folgt ihrem Lauf.

Ich wünscht', ich wäre ein Vöglein
Und zöge über das Meer,
Wohl über das Meer und weiter,
Bis daß ich im Himmel wär'!

----------
(The quiet woman:
Noone knows or could guess how well I feel, how well!
Oh, if just this one would know, just this one, no one else would need to know.

It's not that quite out in the snow, so silent
are not even the stars up high, as my thoughts are.

I wish it was tomorrow, there two larks rise up in the sky
they fly around each other, my heart follows their course.

I wish I was a little bird, I flew across the sea,
across the sea and even further, until I was in heaven.)

Capolinea
----------------------
Cosa pensi di fare andando via
Cosa pensi che trovi fuggendo là
Ritorni sempre al capolinea
Con la stessa acqua ancora la sete placherai

Chi mai pensi che sarà lì per salvarti
Quale fuoco sarà acceso per scaldarti
Quante bugie dal falso mai ti salveranno
Se non hai da dire almeno una verità

Scopri tutte quante le tue carte
Tieni aperte le possibilità
Lascia che sia il gioco a giocarti
Non tenere per te le carte che hai

Dove sogni di trovare ciò che cerchi
Quale mare pensi che navigherai
Costruisci le tue navi con la pietra
E con le navi di roccia nessuno ha viaggiato mai.

English translation (rough and quite literal)

What do you think you'll do going away?
What do you think you'll find fleeing there?
You always come back to square one
It's always the same water you'll quench your thirst with

Who do you think will be there to save you?
Which fire will be lit to warm you?
How many lies will save you from falseness,
If you don't have at least a truth to say?

Turn all your cards face up
Leave all your chances open
Let the game play you
Don't keep your cards for yourself

Where do you dream to find what you're looking for?
Which sea do you think you'll sail?
You build your ships with stone
And with stone ships no one ever has sailed

Starting Terminus- Capolinea, feat. Paolo D'Emilio

Thank you Fivos for all your help in matching your vision for this song.

-----------------------------

The City

[1.08] You said, "I will go to another land, I will go to another sea.
Another city will be found, better than this.
Every effort of mine is condemned by fate;
and my heart is -- like a corpse -- buried.
[1.45] How long in this wasteland will my mind remain.
Wherever I turn my eyes, wherever I may look
I see the black ruins of my life here,
where I spent so many years, and ruined and wasted."

[2.21] New lands you will not find, you will not find other seas.
The city will follow you. You will roam the same
streets. And you will age in the same neighborhoods;
in these same houses you will grow gray.
[4.53] Always you will arrive in this city. To another land -- do not hope --
there is no ship for you, there is no road.
As you have ruined your life here
in this little corner, you have destroyed it in the whole world.
-

La Città

Dicesti: "ad altra città andrò, ad altro mare.
altra città dev'esserci migliore di questa
dove ogni mio tentativo è destinato al fallimento,
e il mio cuore, quesi fossi morto, sepolto.

Fino a quando la mia mente in questo marasma giacerà?
ovunque volgo l'occhio, ovunque guardo
perduti ruderi della mia vita qui scorgo
ove tanti anni ho trascorso e guastato e sciupato."

Nuovi paesi non troverai, né altri mari, né altri mari.
la città, ti seguirà
per le stesse vie circolerai;
nei soliti quartieri andrai invecchiando;
sempre tra queste case ti farai bianco.

A questa città ognora giungerai
per quegli altri paesi, lascia ogni speranza
a te nave non c'è, non c'è nessuna strada.
Così come la tua vita rovinasti qui
in questo piccolo angolo,
su tutta la terra l'hai guastato.
-

La Ciudad

Dijiste: "Iré a otra ciudad, iré a otro mar.
Otra ciudad ha de hallarse mejor que ésta.
Todo esfuerzo mío es una condena escrita;
y está mi corazón - como un cadáver - sepultado.
Mi espíritu hasta cuándo permanecerá en este marasmo.
Donde mis ojos vuelvan, donde quiera que mire
oscuras ruinas de mi vida veo aquí,
donde tantos años pasé y destruí y perdí".

Nuevas tierras no hallarás, no hallarás otros mares.
La ciudad te seguirá. Vagarás
por las mismas calles. Y en los mismos barrios te harás viejo
y en estas mismas casas encanecerás.
Siempre llegarás a esta ciudad. Para otro lugar -no esperes-
no hay barco para ti, no hay camino.
Así como tu vida la arruinaste aquí
en este rincón pequeño, en toda tierra la destruiste.

-

Η Πόλις

Είπες "Θα πάγω σ`άλλη γη, θα πάγω σ`άλλη θάλασσα.
Μια πόλις άλλη θα βρεθεί καλλίτερη από αυτή.
Κάθε προσπάθειά μου μια καταδίκη είναι γραφτή
κ`είν`η καρδιά μου σαν νεκρός θαμμένη.
Ο νους μου ως πότε μες στον μαρασμόν αυτόν θα μένει.
Όπου το μάτι μου γυρίσω, όπου κι αν δω
ερείπια μαύρα της ζωής μου βλέπω εδώ,
που τόσα χρόνια πέρασα και ρήμαξα και χάλασα."

Καινούριους τόπους δε θα βρεις, δεν θάβρεις άλλες θάλασσες.
Η πόλις θα σε ακολουθεί.Στους δρόμους θα γυρνάς
τους ίδιους.Και στες γειτονιές τες ίδιες θα γερνάς
και μες στα ίδια σπίτια αυτά θ`ασπρίζεις.
Πάντα στην πόλι αυτή θα φτάνεις.Για τα αλλού μην ελπίζεις
δεν έχει πλοίο για σε, δεν έχει οδό.
Έτσι που τη ζωή σου ρήμαξες εδώ
στην κώχη τούτη την μικρή, σ`όλην την γη την χάλασες.

-

die Stadt

Du sagst: "Ich gehe in ein anderes Land, an ein anderes Meer.
Eine andere Stadt muß es geben, besser als diese.
Jede meiner Anstregungen ist vom Schicksal verdammt,
Und mein Herz - wie ein Toter- begraben.

Wie lange wird mein Geist in dieser Ödnis bleiben?
Wohin ich meine Augen wende, wohin ich sehe,
Ich sehe die düsteren Ruinen meines Lebens hier,
Wo ich so viele Jahre verbrachte, verschwendete, verdarb."

Neue Länder wirst Du nicht finden, auch keine neuen Meere,
Die Stadt wird Dir folgen, die immergleichen Straßen wirst Du gehen.
In denselben Vierteln wirst Du alt werden
Und in den gleichen Häusern werden Deine Haare ergrauen.

Du wirst wieder in dieser Stadt ankommen,
Nach neuen Ländern, laß alle Hoffnung fahren!
Es gibt kein Schiff für Dich, keine Straße.
So wie Du hier Dein Leben zerstört hast,
In diesem kleinen Winkel,
So hast Du es auf der ganzen Welt.

-

je zei: "Ik ga naar een ander land, ik ga naar een andere zee.
Een andere stad zal gevonden worden, beter dan deze.
Al mijn werk wordt veroordeeld door het lot;
en mijn hart is - als een lijk - begraven.
Hoe lang in deze woestenij zullen mijn gedachten blijven.
Overal waarnaar ik mijn ogen richt, waar ik kan kijken,
Zie ik de zwarte ruïnes van mijn leven hier,
waar ik zo vele jaren heb doorgebracht, geruïneerd en verspild."

Nieuwe landen zal je niet vinden, je zal geen andere zeeën vinden.
De stad zal je volgen. Je zal zwerven in dezelfde
straten. En je zal ouder worden in dezelfde buurten;
in dezelfde huizen zal je grijs worden.
Altijd kom je aan in deze stad. Naar een ander land - niet hopen -
is er geen schip voor je, er is geen weg.
Zoals je je leven hebt verpest, hier
in dit hoekje, heb je het vernietigd in de hele wereld.

Bruno Sanfilippo: Piano
Manuel Del Fresno: Violoncello
Pere Bardagí: Violin
Barcelona based piano player and electronic musician Bruno Sanfilippo is a classically trained musician and composer who has been exploring the borders of minimal piano concepts and electro-acoustic music for more than 20 years. His CD series "Piano Textures“  sets him in a direct tradition of artists as Harold Budd and Brian Eno, combining slow piano tunes with electronic soundscapes. With "ClarOscuro“, he now makes his step into the genre of modern classical music by presenting his first composition work for piano trio. Most of the nine tracks on the album feature Sanfilippo accompanied by Spanish musicians Manuel del Fresno on Violoncello and Pere Bardagí on Violin, while some of the tracks still let the sensitive piano playing stand on its own. With the fragility and beauty of some Arvo Pärt compositions and a high cinematic touch, "ClarOscuro" brings the perfect soundtrack for an imaginary movie.

The very first Fivos song I heard on SoundCloud was his beautiful and haunting Nightly Walker.  I asked Fivos to share with me his score so I could at least enjoy playing his Nightly Walker, and at Fivos' urging, I am going to post my version on SC.  

I will not attempt to be Fivos - I could never be as talented as Fivos, and his wonderful songs and playing.  I am just posting this simple and non-improvised version (except the ending) as a tribute to Fivos and as a thank you to all his wonderful music.  He is brilliant and this is just a "junior" version of Nightly Walker that I enjoyed recording.  

Thanks Fivos for the score and for your tremendous talent and music!  Keep on sharing it and we'll keep on listening.
