And children grow up with deep eyes,
Who know of nothing, grow up and die,
And all men go their ways.

And sweet fruits grow from the bitter ones
And fall down at night like dead birds
And lie a few days and perish.

And ever the wind blows, and ever again
We hear and speak many words
And feel lust and weariness of limbs.

And roads run through the grass, and places
Are there and there, full of torches, trees, ponds,
And looming, and deadly withered . . .

What are these built for? and never resemble
One another never? and are innumerable many?
What alternates laughter, weeping and palliation?

What do we care about all this and these games,
We who are great and eternally lonely
And wandering never seek any goals?

What does it matter if we have seen many such things?
And yet he who says "evening" says a lot,
A word from which profundity and sorrow run

Like heavy honey from the hollow combs.

Und Kinder wachsen auf mit tiefen Augen,
Die von nichts wissen, wachsen auf und sterben,
Und alle Menschen gehen ihre Wege.

Und süße Früchte werden aus den herben
Und fallen nachts wie tote Vögel nieder
Und liegen wenig Tage und verderben.

Und immer weht der Wind, und immer wieder
Vernehmen wir und reden viele Worte
Und spüren Lust und Müdigkeit der Glieder.

Und Straßen laufen durch das Gras, und Orte
Sind da und dort, voll Fackeln, Bäumen, Teichen,
Und drohende, und totenhaft verdorrte . . .

Wozu sind diese aufgebaut? und gleichen
Einander nie? und sind unzählig viele?
Was wechselt Lachen, Weinen und Erbleichen?

Was frommt das alles uns und diese Spiele,
Die wir doch groß und ewig einsam sind
Und wandernd nimmer suchen irgend Ziele?

Was frommt's, dergleichen viel gesehen haben?
Und dennoch sagt der viel, der "Abend" sagt,
Ein Wort, daraus Tiefsinn und Trauer rinnt

Wie schwerer Honig aus den hohlen Waben.

'Hugo von Hofmannsthal'

Origin And Decay

Music: Jan Schonander

Another Friday night sitting as it were, but this time developed over a little time. I played this for my wife and she said it made her think of blue fireflies in the night and hence the image. Took a while to find the first Fm/C/C7 progression then I just carried on from there. Although I thought about adding complexity in the end I decided that less was more in this case. 

The piano piece itself is not very difficult to play, but as I do not own a Steinway Grand the challenge was finding a digital instrument that did the trick in terms of tone. I started out with my Korg SV-1, even changed the keyboard bed but there was something about the sharpness of the high keys (always been an issue on the Korg) that just didn’t sound right. I then tried the Ravenskraft VST, highly recommended in reviews, and found that the overall sound was too dull for my liking.  After years of thinking (not about this piece) this prompted me to finally bring a Nord Stage 3 home. Initially I was disappointed in the piano engine but after a while I learned to set it up to my liking as well as got used to the feel of a different keyboard. This particular piano is the fully mapped Royal Grand 3D with a little bit of reverb and the bass turned down a smidgen. The violin is also a native Nord sample with some delay.

It also turns out that bouncing a pure unprocessed piano track from Logic Pro X sounds a lot better than trying to improve it with the various algorithms in Izotope Ozone.

This is a single take piano performance without any edits.

Morning Walk

A beautiful day and the sun is shining down
Those golden rays help to wipe away the frown
Keep the vibe high
Don't let a 
Thing pass you by
A beautiful day , A beautiful day

Shine on

I'm getting deeper into sound design with the new synth, the arturia microfreak! ... had fun with this one layering multiple patches on top of one another. I also used the korg minilogue xd and a handful of korg soft synths.

After GrevusAnjl recommended it, I'm also experimenting a ton with AI-generated artwork using the WOMBO dream app which I used to produce the cover art on this track.

As always, thanks for listening!

Name That Tune #451 by Bill Withers

The Winner of Thieves

Recorded Live, a song about life and Death which go hand in Hand. 
Written and recorded by: Johnny Mc Farlane

It’s like honey from the bees it’s like cold ice cream 
It’s the most beautiful thing that you have ever seen 
Its like misty morning rain, its like a rainbows end 
Its the love in your heart for your best friend 

Its like ice cold beer on a warm summers day 
It’s the wind in your hair it’s the cold sea spray 
Its like waking in the morning  from a good night rest 
When your little boy tells you, “ Daddy you’re the best “

Its like when heaven and earth meet , when all the stars collide 
When your not alone and everyone’s on your side 
Its like coffee in the morning  or that 1st cigarette 
Its a powerful feeling that you never will forget 

It’s the morning sun on a bright sunny day 
Its like watching your kids as they skip and dance and play 
It’s the 1st flowers of Spring as they peak through the snow 
It’s the morning tide as it begins to Ebb and Flow 

And as the birds fly high soaring in the sky 
I hear the angels calling my name from way up on high 
Like the leaves in Autumn falling from the trees 
We all have to leave this place we are but a breeze 

And all we have are memories or experiences we have had 
The beautiful, the ulgy, the happy and the sad 
All weave an everlasting tapestry our legacy to recall 
And so with these last words my friends I say goodbye to all. 

It’s like honey from the bees it’s like cold ice cream 
You are the most beautiful thing that i have ever seen

DEEP DOWN (acoustic piano & vocals)

Strut The Floor

In my mind I had this descending bass motif in the left hand. I then just created a beautiful melody on top..I also have a longer version; this is the shorter version. 

Dawn of the morning lightly caresses
The moon touch of our hearts reveals 
In the blackest of nights..
In the breathlessness of circumstances 
The embracing hearts slowly heals..

Pronouns (Let Me Be Me)

Spotify

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.
