HEY LOVE YOU!

Hey love you                                                      
More than LC would’ve craved for Marianne                 
No manuscript could sing with more devotion 
A paper chain enough to fill an ocean                    
I’m always up so close and being dutiful.      
Yeah I fix your hair and say you’re beautiful.   
Yeah I fix your hair and say you’re beautiful            
Mmmm breath you in ‘til I’m insensible   

Hey love you 
Like we’re barefoot down a street in Hydra 
It’s feet on top of feet in café’s shadows
I hear applause and faintly drifting cello 
In sticky heat our limbs are stuck like glue
And I kiss your brow and murmur hey I love you
Yeah I kiss your brow and murmur hey love you
Mmmm taste your cheek ‘til I’m insensible

Hey love you 
Bathe your flashin’ teeth in tangerine
The last of breezes scurry into hiding
Nights are satin sheets with harbour lighting
I’m layin’ out your silk across the dresser
I hold you close knowing it’s forever
Yeah I hold you close knowing it’s forever 
Mmmm moving slow ‘til I’m insensible

HEY LOVE YOU

With an analog vibe in mind, and inspired by the CERN collider. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex. The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way.

There are those that maintain that CERN has open up portals to other realms. An interesting possibility at the very least.

Lyrics:
Bouncing Off The Beat
Adlib…

Verse1
so many rhymes -written---styles bitten 
Tracks so sick -they'll leave you bed ridden
Word play written with -shadow-rhymes hidden 
visions -That occur with -lethal--precision
insight for dayzzz--experience that pays
you'll be amazed- rhyme after rhyme--phrase after phrase
how the hell he do that—and the message conveys 
cohesion on the track  I’mer set it ablaze
Another Track turnt up Set this one on re-play
yeah -I got it….yeah -I got it like that

——-adlib

Verse2
Let's pick up the pace -Dropping bass in ya face
Locking haters in place- Rocking the whole damn place
Kicking ass…..more---Bass!!!!----more---Bass!!!!
let’s keep it going!!!
I'll share-The knowledge keep the drumbeat flowing
Get yourself a taste —-a full embrace
rhymes tighter than the knot -on top your shoelace
Guarantee! —to put a smile back on your face
Gimme some space- Gimme some space!
Unplugged!—so-why not try to interface
Addicted to the sound -Like it's free-bass 
like coke!—the real thing-without the aftertaste 
more--be Tha beat----- more-be Tha -Bass!!!!------more-be Tha-Bass!!!!

Verse3
All I've been through-leads to this time-this moment
Grinding night and day-while most lay dormant
Always bring my best-dress to impress
Full court press-the opposition seem ---stressed
I stay intentional-multidimensional 
Verse after verse-totally exceptional
wait a sec---here’s a -reality check
bet a bottom dollar that a brother don't sweat
Go ahead groove on-ain't done yet
Rock another beat-so my haters —upset
Track is getting ---lit like a --------Newport cigarette 
why the confusion y'all—-too--unconventional
must be delusional-Call it phenomenal
solid ambition-creative composition 
adjust your position -cause I'm Still on a mission
track them down --take them out friendly disposition 
grab the track press play -sit back and listen

Verse4
When the beats on time ain't no axe to grind
I just do my thing it's easy to unwind
Lemme rock the beat solid I'll take you for a ride
If you're just another Hater - hello ---goodbye
Racking up the numbers where the hell they're gonna hide
Really don't matter no more Mr. nice guy 

Repeat-Verse1

Outro
Volatile like nitro—don’t shake or stir
Wanted signs posted-don’t let the lines blur 
Creative juices flowing so go for what you know
This is what I was born for so come on let’s go!

Drop!

Since this track seems to be well received, I would like to share some secrets. I used the following for this:
https://heavyocity.com/product-category/foundations/
Heavyocity - Foundations Piano. I used it as an arpeggio bass track for the low octaves.
https://sonuscore.com/shop/the-orchestra-complete/
Sonuscore - The Orchestra Complete 3. Here I loaded the instrument "Grand Piano Lid Closed" on its own sound track for the melody and staccato chords.
https://www.spitfireaudio.com/originals-epic-choir
Spitfire Audio - Originals Epic Choir. As with the piano, I opened two instances and recorded separately on two sound tracks. On the first, the "ladies" sopranos & altos: short staccato syllables, and on the second, the men's tenor & basses: short staccato syllables. On both I experimented with different expressions and dynamics controlled by the modulation wheel via controller. The ladies are more dominant here.
https://refx.com/nexus/expansion/hollywood-2-core-library/
Nexus 4 - Hollywood 2 Core Library. Here I loaded the Strings and Choir preset from the "Vocal/Choir" category. I adjusted the attack a bit to get a smoother sound. It supports the sung staccatos of the choir from Spitfire Audio as a soundscape.
Then, last but not least, I used Sonuscore's The Orchestra Complete 3 again for the horns and loaded the "Horns of Hell" preset. I reduced the internal reverb a bit for this and also worked with dynamics and expression via mod wheel here.

Since I am quite lazy when it comes to drum pattern programming: The drums and percussion are ready-made samples and come from KeepForest, HighLife and other sample forges.
All in all, there are six instrument tracks loaded here in FL Studio and three audio tracks. There's also an EQ, compressor, and delay and reverb on the master. That's it!

The spark that ignited this composition: Heart Of The Andes by Frederic Edwin Church....

"This painting was inspired by Church's second trip to South America in the spring of 1857. During his nine-week trip through Ecuador, Church made numerous sketches, and many surviving watercolors and drawings contain elements from this work. The painting was publicly unveiled on April 27, 1859, at Lyrique Hall, 756 Broadway, in New York. It was subsequently moved to the gallery of the Studio Building on Tenth Street and illuminated in a darkened room with gas jets hidden behind silver reflectors. The work caused a great sensation, and twelve to thirteen thousand people paid twenty-five cents each to see it each month. The painting was also shown in London, where it was also greatly admired."

A Fragment Of Peace

The ancient metropolis of Istanbul probably derives its name from the Greek 'Stin Polis' ('in the city')(according to Sean Lusk's excellent book 'The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesly)having previously been Constantinople the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
This incredible city spans the continents of Europe and Asia and reflects aspects of both in its culture and people.

Istanbul

This song started with Kuba, my Polish friend, sending me a song idea, where he was playing guitar and singing in English. To that, I added bass, slide, mandolin, and piano. I also rewrote the lyrics to give them a better sounding English flow, then sang the high and low harmonies, too. It changed from a song about "waiting for the mountain dew," to "when you dance, the skies are blue." 
  I like finding public domain common melodies in songs, too, so if you pay close attention to the slide, you'll hear me quoting Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in there. 
  I really like Kuba's song ideas and our process together. Speaking of people with whom I like to work, I asked Tez (Llanpsych) to produce and mix the whole thing, even though his instrumental skills are absent from the song. 
  I was going for a European village folk song feel for this one. Hope you enjoy our love song. 
Lyrics:
When you dance, the skies are blue
When you dance, I'll play the tune
When you dance, I want a view 
When you dance, the mountains do
When you dance, you really move
When you dance, I bow to you
When you dance, I see right through
When you dance, I feel renewed

When you sing... Same endings  

The skies are blue when I'm with you
When I'm with you I hear the tune
Oh what a view when I'm with you
The mountains shake I turn to goo
We get around when I'm with you
When I'm with you we're in the nude
We see the truth when I'm with you
When I'm with you I'm less confused

The Mountains Do (with Kuba aka Modern Sound Orchestra, and Llanpsych)

'A Dùthaich Roinnte' (A Divided Nation) is a Jazz Fusion track and is a reminder to remain positive and steadfast in these particular times of division amongst nations and not least my own.

Lost Footprints In the Sands Of Time

A Dùthaich Roinnte

you said your dreams wouldn't effect our fate
I cant tell what's even real or fake
don't stare at me or ill melt my face
even if i do id think its fake

am i in a dream
is my skin real it seems to be
cant lie it feels like I'm in a dream
disguise what real and fake it seems

you said your dreams wouldn't effect our fate
I cant tell what's even real or fake
don't stare at me or ill melt my face
even if i do id think its fake


i have no idea

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

😮‍💨😔


When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
