Very lovely track and performance 😊🎶

How wonderful!  A beautiful track Fancesco

Calm & Steady series

- short tracks of dance music

All tracks were uploaded between 09/2020 and 01/2021, mainly in the 11/2020 - 01/2021 interval, with the following exceptions:
. . - Nyctomancer (Carbon Based Lifeforms - Central Plain)(#5): 4 years,
. . - pulsetrain "Kurtosis"(#18): 6 months,
. . - Francesco Cartocci "Crickets and Cicadas"(#20): 5 months.

The other series (short tracks) so far are:
- "Hard-Fast-or-Nasty" (more intense/abrasive)
- "MiddleLane", and "Superdance" (the middle, or ambivalence)
- "Funky-Dub-Trap" (terminology conundrum)
- "Fantaisies" (for professional dancers only)
- "Minimal"
- "Dark"
- "BreakB-Jungle-DnB"

There is little overlap between them, mostly between: *
. . A) MiddleLane, Superdance
and
. . B) all other series

* Increasingly there is some overlap between "Calm & Steady" and "Funky-Dub-Trap", and between a bunch of others (Dark, Minimal, ...). I'm trying to keep it to the minimum, the overlap, tracks finding themselves in more than one playlist.

“Beach Breeze” is an uplifting pop/rock track that feels like sunshine on your face and warm wind off the ocean. Light, happy, and full of movement, this song brings an easygoing, carefree vibe perfect for summer days and good moods.

I was really stoked to hear from letterfounder that he'd finished his song 'back at the cave', based around my instrumental 'writ in air'. 
I love his fascinating, exploratory music, great lyrics and vocals. For more of his excellent work visit: https://letterfounder.bandcamp.com

This song took a while. I am to blame for it. 
We have Ed (@livra-lamento-blues) with emotional vocals and AL (@al-z-z-z)on his wonderful lead guitar, and on top of that, Evan Sidawi with his mixing and mastering skills. Enjoy!
______
In loneliness
In the dark
Nothing could be worse than us apart
I don't wanna let you down
With my mood swings and impulsive acts
So I have to hide my soul … in that dark cellar … you know
Your judgments always make me sick
But you're just a player not a judge
And why drag these heavy chains if we wanna be light as the breeze

Light enters through the cracks
Of this room full of dust
Hell, I don't belong here
Oh my ground needs to rise

Your constructions are so unreal
So you punish me with how you feel
Your convictions instead of trust
You don't believe but I know you're wrong
I'm used to these shadowy paths 
But it's different now … always different anyway
And the truth became a stranger 

Fight is over … both lost
It's not a fair game … just a farce 
We're all poisoned … until when?  
The court is bluffing … witness lies 
The judge is drinking … with those bad guys
The scenes are faked … all the time 
And all I wanna is hold you tight

Light enters through the cracks
Of this room full of dust
Hell, I don't belong here
Oh my ground needs to rise

Rise, feat. Livra LB on Vocals, Al Z on Lead and Evan Sidawi on Mixing and Mastering

Crickets and Cicadas

A couple of years ago I dedicated this song to Sandra. After listening she said: "Mmm, yes, nice, but I prefer another piece, that one that you let me listen a few months ago".
Damn sincerity! :)))

Lately i decided to record it again with a different arrangement, this is the new one.
But this time I'm not sure i'll let her listen again :)))

Here you can find the other previous version, the "rejected" one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhvv6Rw2zWo

The other piece, her favorite, was this:  https://soundcloud.com/francescocartocci/la-danza-della-lontananza

Whispers In The Wind

Sittin’ round on a rainy day
Rain falls down on rooftops 'cross the field

Carve a name in a willow tree
Some would laugh
Some would cry
If it happened to them sometime

Walking backwards in a trance
Grieving in advance
That’s no way to live

See the wind kill a willow tree
Birds fly past 
I never even said my goodbyes

The room was full the TV was on
Laughing scenes suppressing screams
And the silence that everyone heard

Walking backwards in a trance
Grieving in advance
That’s no way to live
But it’s so simple
You know it is

Pushing back on the thought of quitting here and now
Making my home in the ground
There’s no other person holding back the curtains now
Gotta stop running away (just open the door)

I reached the door
So open the door
There’s so much more

I Reached A Door

система | system presents "Bubny Voices" audio Installation by Ukrainian Kyiv-based artists NFNR & unwavemenot.
~ "The Bubny Voices is an artistic documentation of the Nádraží Bubny area in Prague, which is about to be destroyed .
The compositions are created by Ukrainian composers unwavemenot & NFNR out of field recordings collected around the Bubny railway station by local inhabitants.
Originally the piece was supposed to be a site-specific performance at Nádraží Bubny. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak borders were closed, thus the invited artists NFNR & unwavemenot did not have access to the city. They decided to approach Bubny through auditory impressions of the local residents.
Bubny Voices reflects the experience of new places based on imagination rather than sensations. In such a way, the artists fulfill a need for discovery in times of limited freedom of movement. They suggest using imagination in order to document places that disappear. The work means to grasp collective aural memories of Bubny to be able to experience the area after its disappearance.
Bubny Voices were created as part of the Performance Crossing Festival in Prague in May-June 2020.." - NFNR & unwavemenot
*
~ "Bubny Voices — це музична документація району залізничної станції Бубни у Празі, яку невдовзі знесуть.
Композиції створені українськими композиторками NFNR & unwavemenot на основі польових записів, зібраних навколо залізничної станції місцевими жителями.
Роботи мали бути створені як site-specific інсталяція у споруді вокзалу. Через спалах COVID-19 та закриті кордони запрошені музикантки NFNR & unwavemenot не мали можливості працювати з місцем особисто. Вони вирішили вивчити Бубни через акустичні досвіди місцевих жителів.
Bubny Voices є переживанням досвіду міста на основі уяви, а не відчуттів. Так музикантки задовольняють потребу у нових враженнях і відкриттях у часи обмеженої свободи пересування. У подібний спосіб, вони пропонують використовувати уяву для документації місць, що зникають. Композиції вбирають колективі акустичні спогади про район, щоб мати можливість відчути цю місцевість після її зникнення.
Bubny Voices були створені в рамках фестивалю Performance Crossing у Празі у травні-червні 2020" - NFNR & unwavemenot

Antifa is my cousin.  I heard some people were looking for her.  Since I like to be helpful when I can, she was in Alexandria last time I talked to her, three weeks ago.  I think she mentioned going to Zurich in the near future.

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.

Ciao! I'm a bass, double bass and guitar player but I like composing on keyboards too. Thanks for listening. Peace!
