Raina's vocals are golden. This whole band is a keeper.

Backing vocals work really well. Nice build.

Great to come across this - lovely vocal, super restrained backing track with a standout bass.

Very very good : Instrumental, arrangement, vocals, song ! Brillant

This rock vocals are great they could do anything

As You were leaving

Ingvar Tautra https://soundcloud.com/agnosturaelwar recently posted a group of instrumental tracks for open collaboration. One of them was a charming solo guitar that really spoke to me, but also seemed a little lonely up there all by itself. It is the first thing you will hear. I added to it only minimally, a bass and two guitars.

Thanks for the ride, Ingvar. It was fun!

Here is a playlist from Ingvar of other artists who worked with the same guitar track as I have; https://soundcloud.com/agnosturaelwar/sets/contributions-free-collab-2-5

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Sometimes people close to us pass away far earlier than expected, and sometimes they come back to visit us in our dreams.

Here's the breakdown of what I used on this track:
Drums: Logic Pro Virtual Drummer Max Punk Rock with the Bluebird drum kit
Bass: Logic Pro Thumb bass with some chorus and delay
Electric Piano: Korg SV-1 Reed EP-2 preprocessed with chorus and plate delay, post processed with echo, spreader, ensemble and flanger. With all these effects and a sustain pedal, if you hold the pedal down and repeat notes in rapid succession, a crescendo effect is created (with the built in analogue amplifier).
Synth: Logic Pro (Alchemy) Strings Morph and Buss Bar (Funky Crunchy)

MISS YOU

I see you when I close my eyes
I dream of you when I despair
Too much time since I held you
Years gone by since I saw you

I miss you
Are you watching over me
I miss you
Did you come see me

When you sat down right next to me
Did you tell me that you’re gonna be alright
Did you tell me that the future is bright
Did you tell me to not lose sight

I miss you
Are you waiting for me
I miss you
Will you take care of me

Sometimes you’re with me
Sometimes I feel good
Sometimes you’re with me
Sometimes I feel good

I wake up reach out for you
I lose myself grasping for air
It feels so real swear I saw you
Years gone by seem like yesterday

I miss you
Are you watching over me
I miss you
Did you come see me

I miss you
Are you waiting for me
I miss you
Will you take care of me

Sometimes you’re beside me
Sometimes I feel good
Sometimes you’re beside me
Sometimes I feel good

A gaping hole inside me
At all times I miss you
A gaping hole inside me
At all times I miss you
A gaping hole inside me
At all times I miss you
A gaping hole inside me
At all times I miss you

Miss You

Here's a tale of love, hate, and yoga meditation.

Love Or Hate?

Words and music by Constricted Freedom
Cover art by Mar Ambroj

Welcome to planet earth
one of the best shows in the universe
excuse the mess
we'll clean it up...

Every night
there I lay awake
thinking of the things that could be

Every day
dreaming of the things
I want to see

Living free
enjoying every breath
things could be better...
living free 

Stay calm
relax
everything is' gonna be alright
staying true
to myself
I won't do the things that most expect

Gaining force
in the right direction
we can do this if we want

Give me love
NOT that hate

Give me something to look forward

Every night
there I lay awake
thinking of the things that could be

Every day
dreaming of the things
that we could have

Living free
enjoying every breath
things could be better...

Living free
in every corner of my mind
there is no place
I can't go
 
I go
to that place 
that no one can disturb
I see
no reason
not to go again
every time I want

Gaining force
in the right direction
we can do this if we want
getting strong
every day is new
we can follow this path
until the end of time

Give me love
NOT that hate
Feel the love
Lose that hate

Truth will
in the end
prevail over all delusion's wake
why not
take control
we don't need to play the fool no more

Gaining force
in the right direction
we can change the world if we want

Give me love
NOT that hate
Feel the love
Feel the love

Living free
enjoying every breath
things could be better

Living free
I look inside my heart
to see what's there
love or hate?
to see what's there
love or hate?
to see what's there
love...

Escape Route

Love or Hate?

Love Or Hate?

Caged!

This one was developed and recorded one afternoon about a year ago with Jose (the Problem) when no one was thinking about mics or recording quality or nuthin', and I can’t really remember what we did. I opened it back up a few weeks ago and did a little editing. But it was basically live. I was playing v-drums somewhere back there with a little speaker, while Jose played piano with at least one mic. We may have added the vocals separately. I don’t know. I just don’t know.

Tales From a Midnight Bucket
                            Janine Levinson & Jose Freitas

It pours on me from a midnight bucket somewhere in my chest
Getting cold, maybe tears, maybe oil, maybe blood
I don't know

It hounds me so from a twisted chair squeaking as it rocks
Burn my ears, maybe cries, maybe songs, maybe pleading
I don't know

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul  

It gets a hold: a wire machine with poison in the gears
Bitter oil, maybe pitch, maybe tar, maybe grease
I don't know

It’s underneath my parchment skin and worms its way to light
Maybe bugs, maybe hair, maybe bone, maybe bile 
I don’t know

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul     
ooooooooh!

Strings of tar
Rising twister helpless in the rancid air
Cataract stars 
Fraying leather 
Helpless in the rancid air

It shoots in me a spear of ice freezing in my chest
Getting cold, maybe tears, maybe soil, maybe gone
I don't know  

It undermines my blistered soles and forces me to crawl
Maybe dirt, maybe worms, maybe flesh, maybe gold 
I don’t know 

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul

The Midnight Bucket (Live) (Probably)

This song is based on an original idea by Jeff Buckley and Liz Fraser. Sadly it was never finished or properly recorded in his lifetime. Bethany and I thought that the song deserved to be completed and so we set out to do just that.

The full band version of this song can be found on Bethany's SC profile:

https://soundcloud.com/bethanygraceuk/all-flowers-in-time-bend-towards-the-sun

This version is the Acoustic Mix.

There were so many great performances from the musicians involved that we really thought it would be great to really hear the quieter instruments in their own setting. Not only does it give yet another take on the song but it also allows you to really hear the beautiful vocals once again.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.

A guitar friend on SoundCloud had challenged me to make a guitar and piano work earlier this year as it has not been done much.. The guitarist who had agreed to collaborate with me could not record at this time so I used my moon guitar software playing piano motifs.. A performance for reaching 2000 + SC followers. 

It sits on the introspective side of neoclassical but with strong melodic content. The piano improv by itself is very different as the MIDI keyboard does not allow great technical difficulty in performance.
Piano improvs on this work on Twitter/FB/YT are popular.

Dream of the Wild Rose

Dream Of The Wild Rose

Everything by me
--------------------------
Long is the night
Steam rises high
From the kettle in your place

Long is the day
It takes you away
Am I imagining

Everything you say
Is dripping with grace
Am I imagining

Every time I wake
You are there to say
That it will be okay

And you are everything
All my fears
Melt away

You are like a flame
Flickering
In my gaze

You are what I was imagining
Every day,
Since third grade babe

All my mind is scattering
Tripped by the lettering
In every thing

I'm tired of barriers
If you're tired, my darling I'll carry you
And I do what my reverend say
Eyes closed, high walls, blind faith
