This is the third and final remix that completes my "Something Wonderful" single; some elements of the original have been reworked whilst others have been stripped away giving the track a simpler form and a bass driven progressive focus. I hope you will enjoy it!

Something Wonderful (Progressive Mix)

Video clip at https://youtu.be/QDIE_9uOm0M

Can you hear it?
voices bringing fear of missing out
'Lure the sailors!'
Who can tell what the song is about?

Icy seas and restless winds,
Clouds closing in
I can hear Sirens sing.

From my window,
of oppurtunity I try to get a glimpse
Of a way
To get me  - out of here

Signal tower
doesn't shine no more.
Light is dimmed
and the harbour dark.

Strap me to the mast

Four winds blowing
honeyed voices tempting us
A lover's promise
That none can keep but all of us want

Icy seas and restless winds
Clouds closing in
I can hear Sirens sing

Come and get it, she said
You can - enjoy yourself.
Don't you worry
about these barren rocks in the surf,

This shipwreck's end is oh so cruel
A life closing down
How could I be such a fool

Strap me to the mast

Strapped to the mast

Strapped To The Mast

Girls Never Stop Dancing (Roy Roy and J.J.)

Nestled in the breathtaking expanse of the formidable Swiss Alps, where jagged mountain peaks soar upward to touch the sky and serene valleys harbor the age-old wonders of untarnished beauty, Sven and I commenced an extraordinary adventure to a hidden sanctuary that promised not only rest but also profound insight and awakening. 

This secluded paradise unfolded before us like an enchanting dream, intricately woven from the fabric of imagination and tangible reality, a fusion of nature's glory and refined architectural beauty.

The estate itself emerged as a magnificent vision, its vast grounds artfully designed into a harmonious blend of impeccably maintained gardens, gently swaying pines, and brilliantly colored alpine flowers. 

At the very heart of this stunning property stood an exceptional art gallery, a true treasure trove of human ingenuity and creativity, where masterpieces from various cultures across the globe graced the walls. Each artwork, be it a painting or a sculpture, narrated a story steeped in the richness of distant lands and eras long past, inviting us to immerse ourselves in their elaborate details and brilliant colors as we meandered through the venerable corridors.

As we wandered across the estate’s captivating grounds, destiny led us to a breathtaking find: a subterranean swimming pool, its crystal-clear waters glimmering like a myriad of tiny stars reflected in liquid form beneath the gentle radiance of soft, atmospheric lighting. 

The pool exuded an almost enchanting charm, its calm surface promising a sense of peace and renewal that was difficult to resist. We surrendered to the inviting waters, feeling the cool, silky liquid envelop us, creating a soothing cocoon that washed away our worldly concerns as we floated in a state of pure tranquility.

Nestled alongside this aquatic gem was an opulent spa, a sanctuary interwoven within another sanctuary, where luxury and relaxation seamlessly merged together. Here, we treated ourselves to a selection of personalized therapies, each one designed with care to elevate our senses and soothe our spirits. 

From the gentle kneading of skillful hands to the fragrant caress of essential oils, every moment felt like a gentle wave of relaxation cascading over us, transporting us to a serene realm of unblemished happiness. Time appeared to evaporate as we succumbed to the rhythmic flow of revival, each sensation acting as a brush stroke decorating the canvas of our shared adventure.

This alpine retreat, with its stunning vistas, artistic marvels, and lavish comforts, transcended the mere concept of an escape, it was truly an expedition into the glorious sublime, a chapter of unforgettable memories that Sven and I will hold dear throughout our lives, forever inscribed in the fabric of the Swiss Alps.

Swiss Air Flight 07 -  Final Remaster

Iryna Aleksiychuk 
Fantasy cantata "Lullabies of the Reeds" for mixed choir and symphony orchestra in five parts based on lyrics by Olena Stepanenko. 
Artists:
Classical Music Ensemble of the National House of Organ and Chamber Music
named after B. Lyatoshynsky
Soloists - Olga Shvydka (soprano), 
Anna Labud (mezzo-soprano)
Conductor - Igor Andrievsky

Many years ago, Blaise Pascal called man a reed capable of thinking. Bearing in mind the fragility and fluidity of human life, man's loneliness before the universe, fear of death, and defenselessness before love.
Paraphrasing the French thinker, we can say that a person is a reed pipe near the mouth of God, on which He plays his lullabies. That is why each of the five movements of this work is a kind of lullaby - from the Little Mermaid's lullaby (in the first movement), through the lullaby to Self and Beloved (in the second and third) - to the lullaby of Death, which destroys, leaving no hope of salvation (in the fourth movement), and the lullaby Death, which renews and heals, opening the door to a new, enlightened dimension (in the fifth movement).
The dramaturgical unification of the cycle is facilitated by the system of leitimages, which are transformed throughout the work. In particular, these are the Lullaby and Resurrection leitmotifs, the Calling leitmotif, as well as the Heartbeat and Breathing leitmotifs.
All movements of the cantata are performed without a break, attacca.
1 mov. "Lullabies through water"
2 mov. "Order of God's grace"
3 mov. "Windows of insomnia"
4 mov. "Order of God's Wrath"
5 mov. "Lullaby last"
