Thank you for leading me to the outer fringes of the comprehensible. Wonderful unexpected twists and turns along the way. I think I want to enter that space because of the beautiful and peaceful sound. 🎶💛

Nice to be here once again, Frank. Thank you for your comments, your answers to mine and, above all, for sharing your wonderful music.

Inspired by the great natural phenomenon whose majesty I have yet to experience, but whose brilliance is unquestionable...

In 2000, a children's orchestra took part in the "Prix de jeuness", a European music competition.
For this I composed a story of a Brazilian street child ("Manolito")consisting of 7 pieces. The "music box" was the centerpiece of the story. Manolito, the street kid finds the music box in a garbage dump looking for food. I wanted to orchestrate it "better" again, but I'm not satisfied yet. 
Warning: this version is not suitable for children's orchestras!!

Lyrics : 
C’est quand je plonge dans ton regard
Que tout commence
Que nos pluriels se conjuguent
En toute elegance 
Que nos accords jouent toute la gamme 
En résonance 
Oh ooh oh

Quand tu t’approches mon cœur s’égare 
Je prends conscience
Que je suis celui qui commet
Les imprudences
Même quand tu joues t’es prête à perdre
Ton innocence 
Oh ooh oh

Même si tout s’arrête 
Tout autour de nous
Notre histoire s’entête 
Le reste on s’en fout
Ne laisse pas mourir tes rêves
On peut croire à tout
N’attends pas que tout s’achève 
On peut croire en nous
 
J’aime quand tu fais le premier pas
De notre danse
Que tu prends tous mes désirs
Pour des évidences
Alors je tombe dans tous tes pièges 
Sans résistance 
Oh ooh oh

Quand on s’éloigne mon cœur parcourt 
Toute la distance
Pour retrouver les vibrations de 
Ta fréquence
Si tu pouvais me donner encore
Une chance
Oh ooh oh

Même si tout s'arrête

Dan-t's release of our collaboration on Easter Sunday had special meaning for me;  Easter is the authoritative testimony of light overcoming darkness. It also symbolized the passing of a very close friend as she "stepped into the light"  Tuesday before Easter Sunday.  Bonnie's sudden passing was unexpected to her family and closest friends, but not to her.  She had given intimations of it weeks before, but we could not grasp it. 
Dan's music is very special in its ambient beauty always expressing what spoken language cannot.  In constructing the guitar parts for it, recording, and editing as needed, I must have listened to the track dozens of times, but never grew fatigued with it.  Hopefully with just one listen, you'll understand:) More of the lovely French Fantasy can be heard @dan-t-3

Into The Light (Dan-T; synths, Clara Sorace; vocals, David; acoustic guitars

Heartfelt thanks to Torbjørn for this composition that he invited Dairv and me to be a part of. With the poetry of Emily Brontë , this became a journey in nature, about hope and about light.
May we take care of our wonderful nature.

Poem by Emily Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848)

VIII
The battle had passed from the height,
And still did evening fall;
While heaven with its restful night
Gloriously canopied all.

The dead around were sleeping
On heath and granite grey,
And the dying their last watch were keeping
In the closing of the day.
·⁠·⁠·⁠·⁠·
How golden bright from earth and heaven
The summer day declines!
How gloriously o'er land and sea
The parting sunbeam shines!
There is a voice in the wind that waves
Those bright rejoicing trees.
·⁠·⁠·⁠·⁠·
Not a vapour had stained the breezeless blue,
Not a cloud had dimmed the sun,
From the time of morning's earliest dew
Till the summer day was done.

And all as pure and all as bright
The sun of evening died,
And purer still its parting light
Shone on Lake Elnor's tide.

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.

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.
