Tom's original track: https://soundcloud.com/tom-r-gnier/summer-feel

Je pense à toi
Au coeur de l'hiver
Le long du bord de mer
Quand tu avais les yeux de Chimène pour moi
Je fuyais comme un con par des chemins
Qui menaient tous à toi
Jusqu'à ce que t'y sois pas

C'est quoi ce film
Où sont les bobines
C'est nul comme il se termine
Quand je vois défiler notre vie devant moi
En pluie de confettis parce que tu es partie

Comme le vent qui souffle dans les plaines
Comme le vent mauvais de Verlaine
Comme le vent qui vient sécher les peines
En soufflant de l'air froid

Je pense à toi
Comme un singe en hiver
Perdu entre ciel et terre
Quand tu avais les yeux de Chimène pour moi
Je fuyais comme un con je te voyais partout
Mais je ne te cherchais pas
Va donc savoir pourquoi

Tu vois la trace
Des bateaux qui passent
Vieux rafiots, brise-glaces
Dis-moi où elle te mène les yeux si loin de moi
Si t'as la nostalgie là où tu es partie

Comme le vent qui souffle dans les plaines
Comme le vent mauvais de Verlaine
Comme le vent qui vient sécher les peines
Et nous pousser plus loin
Toujours plus libres

Tu reviendras
Réchauffer l'hiver
Mon étoile de mer
Quand tu avais les yeux de Chimène pour moi
Je fuyais comme un con par des chemins

Comme le vent...

Alexis Roche's Album

Les yeux de Chimène (Tom Régnier/Alexis Roche)

Always liked this song so here is my version of it, hope you like it! Follow for more!

Damien Rice- Cannon Ball (Cover)

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

More synthrock, but this time with a somewhat dirtier sound. All instruments except the drums are created on the Nord Stage 3. Played a little with feedback, as well as changed the attack on the main rhythmic synth live as I was playing. The lyrics are once again a mix of science and emotion using a black hole as a metaphor for a toxic relationship - seems to be a style that works for me.

INFINITE ATTRACTION

I can’t, I can’t break free
Oh no
I can’t, I can’t break free

A fine line pulling on my soul
As close as I could ever get
An unseen stronger than steel
At the point of no return

Light up all of your rockets
Switch on the burners, oh yeah
Let go of all of your emotions
You can spiral to the infinite
The infinite attraction

I can’t, I can't, I can't, I can't break free
I can’t, I can't, I can't, I can't break free

Bounce off a satellite to Houston
Switch on the radio, oh yeah
There’s no time for thinking
You could spiral to the infinite
The infinite attraction

I can’t, I can’t break free
Oh no
I can’t, I can’t break free

The cosmos is dragging me down
Once in there’s no getting out

It’s an infinite attraction
It’s an infinite attraction

Infinite Attraction

EMU
Music by Overdrive

EMU stands for "emulator" in Information Technology. The track is inspired by the cyberpunk culture of Japanese anime/manga, especially the classics Akira and Ghost in the Shell.

The idea was completely insane -- to produce an industrial/cyberpunk track sung in Japanese by a female vocalist with a very soft voice (to contrast with the dark atmosphere). The first time I verbalized this concept with someone, it sounded even weirder. So it's no surprise that none of the numerous Japanese female singers I invited accepted the proposal.

It's true that Japan is known for its innovative musical ideas -- like the death metal band Baby (with three little girls as singers); or the virtual singer Hatsune Miku (a hologram with synthesized vocals) and so on. But industrial music with female vocals is not a common occurrence. Björk and How To Destroy Angels are some of the few exceptions in the music world. And without a Japanese singer, the EMU project would never get off the ground.

Fortunately, Dreamtonics' artificial intelligence synthesized voices and its amazing Synthesizer V software are getting better and better, and I was able to use the sweet voice of Mai, a synthetic voice package created for J-pop (!).

This work wouldn't have been possible without the invaluable help of TN2 (Toku-no-2ri), group that wrote the lyrics in Japanese. Their extraordinary sense of musicality in the choice of phonemes during the creation of the lyrics proved to be a very pleasant surprise. Japanese kanji are famous for their ability to embed multiple meanings in their symbols and the first draft of TN2's lyrics was written in kanji (later rewritten in hiragana to feed Synthesizer V). The apparently simple verses carry several meanings that are unfortunately lost in the English translation.

TN2, or "Toku-no-2ri", is a psychedelic trance unit of "MASH" and "NORI". They had been inactive for a few years, but restarted the project in 2021. The group has formidable composers and I recommend checking out their incredible electronic music tracks available for free download on SC:

Hope you enjoy the track.

LYRICS

ささやきにしげきされ
しょうどおがかけめぐる
やみにうもれたひびに
ひのひかりときはなて

だれもがゆめをみてる
さめることのないゆめ
とわにとらわれている
とわにとらわれている

[Ghost in the Shell narration]

すべてがまぼろしでも
あなたのねがいはなに
とわにとらわれること
それともめざめること

だからおしえてほしい
わたしがだれであるか
あなたがめざめるなら
わたしはうたをうたう

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Stimulated by whispers
An impulse runs through me
In the days buried in darkness
Release the sunlight

Everyone is dreaming
A dream that never wakes up
Trapped forever
Trapped forever

[Ghost in the Shell narration]

Life is like a nodal point born in an overwhelming sea of information.

And life, when organized into species relies upon genes to be its memory system.

So, man is an individual memory system only because of his intangible memory.

And a memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind.

When the advent of computers made the externalization of memories possible, you should have taken its meaning more seriously.

My code name is Project 2501.

I am a living, thinking entity who was created in the sea of information.

[End of Narration]

Even if everything is an illusion
What is your wish?
To be trapped forever?
Or to wake up?

That's why I want you to tell me
Who I am
If you wake up
I sing a song

Vocals and Lyrics: 
Alley from Ghosthack www.Ghosthack.de
- Verse One -
I’ve tried everything
My minds been racing round a track
But I’m getting numb to the feeling 
Of forcing myself to love you back
- Pre Chorus -
I should want you more 
On paper you’re the perfect man
But there’s a lingering 
Deep inside that tells me 
You’ve been wrong since we began
- Chorus -
I’d never ask you to change 
But what I need 
You can’t give me 
I won’t say an apology
You’ve been sweet
But it’s time to leave
It’s time to leave
I’ve lost feeling
I need to breathe, feed this aching
What part of this aren’t you getting
- Verse Two -
I’ve tried everything
Nothing gets through to you
I’m numb to your loving
And I can’t change
That I’m through with you
