Green Balloon

I am flying away
In a green baloon
Looking the moon
Looking the sea

I feel so peace
I feel so love
I feel the way
We can see

The real things
To realize
That's more to see
Up and down

To live the life
To think high
Is what we do
Is what we know

Green Baloon

Black Hole

Do you know any song with the word 'wax' in the title?

Gray

Simple but mysterious,  A mood piece with a good deal of reverb guitar. A rainy day song.  Maybe he becomes that guy, Who knows. 

Lyrics;
Drawn in black and white
A charcoal pencil start of day
And where the two should meet
A blended shade of gray

The sky has softly fallen
Mist covers the town
A clouded muted world
With barely any sound

I open up the curtains
Sallow light filters in
I stare into the emptiness
And wonder if it ends

The cover slowly thinning
The sky is shading blue
Yet the world I find inside my world
So empty without you

The morning haze is breaking
Still foggy is my mind
The coffee black the cup is white
Though gray is all I find

Heavy sigh through heavy air
Time's the only cure
Time can last forever
How long it takes no one is sure

Drawn in black and white
A charcoal pencil end of day
And where the two should meet
A blended shade of gray

Gray

Vicente Cabanes - Giman

Moans from Inside

Embark on an extraordinary sonic journey: “The extent of power” invites you to immerse yourself in a musical universe in which the atmosphere of wealth, power and influence becomes palpable. This track creates a dense tension through dramatic, electronic soundscapes filled with subtle emotional contrasts. Without conveying a blunt message, it evokes the feeling of a world where the effects of limitless power and its abuse are palpable. The dark game of the powerful - who ceaselessly exploit their wealth to gain more and more control and influence, even though they no longer need either - unfolds as an endless cycle in which humanity and the well-being of all fall by the wayside. “The extent of power” combines dramatic atmospheres, electronic textures and emotional depth, is thought-provoking and a musical statement against the abuse of power. Let yourself be captivated by this experience - a manifesto for free thinking and resistance.

The extent of power

Hei!

It's difficult to categorize my music into just one genre. It draws influence from trip hop, breakbeat, instrumental and abstract hip hop, heavy rock, techno, minimal, sound art, contemporary, glitch, and more!

I admire many artists, and you might detect their influence in my work. Among the best are Daft Punk and Massive Attack, followed by 90s Ninja Tune artists like Amon Tobin, DJ Vadim, The Herbaliser, and Kid Koala. I've had the pleasure of seeing many of them live at the legendary Ilosaari Rock festivals. I also appreciate French hip hop, particularly Le Peuple de l'herbe. Other inspirations include The Prodigy, Portishead, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Gorillaz, Moby, Mono, Thievery Corporation, Future Sound of London, and more. My taste spans from acid jazz and funk to lo-fi and even punk or hard metal, depending on my mood.

I've been making music since the early 2000s, starting with MadTracker software (I am fine with the program name). A few years ago, I transitioned to music production with Ableton Live 10, and I'm currently using version 12. Some of my tracks are experimental, stemming from explorations over the past 20 years, while others are entirely new compositions. This experimentation is perhaps influenced by my background in research—I'm eager to explore new territories, including music.

Nature is my second passion. I tend to a micro-farm in the summer, raising sheep and chickens and restoring it to its traditional biohabitat. In the winter, I evade to the city and brood there, craving for the countryside's spring, summer, and autumn... or dreaming being in hot and sunny place by a sea or river...

I'm open to collaborations, akin to scientific endeavors where novel and exciting outcomes emerge from teamwork. Feel free to reach out!

Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to my SoundCloud friends, website visitors, and music listeners. This community is truly remarkable!
