If You Change It

I Feel It Now

I'm not sure which is more maddening these days — the situation in Ukraine or the situation in America. Hell, the middle east is also crap. I'm just mad at it all. 

The air-raid siren was recorded in Kyiv by vkvych (freesound.org).

(This tune is downloadable.)
I compose in MIDI, using Logic Pro and sound libraries from EastWest.

Ozeaneum

A slightly different mix of a track I have posted already. This one has the drums coming in a little earlier in the song. I'll have this mixed properly and mastered at some point.  Lindsey Kay Scott, my daughter,  is singing the lead on this song.

The whole idea of embracing melancholic music as a package for me is an incredible therapy and has been since I was a very young. Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, Inspector Morse Theme Tune by Barrington Pheloung and Gabriel's Oboe by Ennio Morricone would be the three big examples that come to mind. The first two in particular... Then a more popular example from that period of my life would be All by Myself by Eric Carmen. That sits up there as a brave wtf song that's just incredible in it's vulnerability. More recently Id put Exit Music for a Film by Radiohead in a similar beautiful mind bending melancholic box.

The song image is a picture of a sunrise over my back wall and in the foreground is the micro world we never really see. It's moss growing on the wall and for me it represents visually, perspective is everything. We can't see the world like an ant does unless we get in amongst the weeds and get close to look. Even then it's difficult to share the same point of view an ant has.
I guess that can be an analogy of where your soul goes in the land of melancholic music. Although it can invoke feelings of sadness I think that's therapeutic for our overall beings. I think maybe psychologically, like a poem can do also, we are reflecting our emotion with something words as plain language cannot fully explain but where sound and poetry maybe can do a better job of helping them materialise for you. So they become a solidarity of sorts for those hard to understand feelings we all feel from time to time in our lives. A safe reference that maybe forces you to feel them instead of oppressing the feelings

Melancholy of Mystery

Good meandering mind
Knead this mystery
Warm sound sine waves
To cool great history

Sad for some
Tranquil for this one
An aide to not fear pain
Through music and sum

From mountain flutes of finest native
To slow bent strings move contemplative

Dawn drama drowns a mind afraid
Good mind prepared through sounds that save

These sounds are sage
'Fill in true meaning
Soothe honest zen
With deep thought streaming

Heart pounds a rush
Thrill of uncertain
New found feeling
On fear we pull a curtain

Good meandering mind
Knead this mystery
Warm sound sine waves
To cool great history

Sad for some
Tranquil for this one
An aide to not fear pain
Through music and sum

Dinnseanchas of history
Melancholy of mystery
Filling true meaning
Mellifluous streaming
