Nada (He pensado en la muerte)

Song about love as a shelter against inclemency of life (translated lyrics below).

By means of some weather sounds, I oppose precise dark parts to more colored ones, with serious work till 3:25 when I had fun jamming, so you can skip to 4:20 & enjoy great outro !!

Clarinet was borrowed from my sister for summer practice. Reed & keywork managing is difficult for a beginner, & home cohabitance was set on serious risk, but with painful effort I got something presentable, or so I hope, as not willing to repeat soon...

Pic: edited eyefish photo taken by my other sister during one of my hard summer rehearsals.

LETRAS / LYRICS

ENTRA SIN MIEDO / COME IN WITHOUT FEAR

Fuera hay truenos; / Outside there are thunders;

Soy tu refugio protector; / I am your protective shelter;
entre mis brazos estarás mejor: / whithin my arms you’ll be better:

Squiggle

With a codeword I was busy
Settled down on the settee
Dearest said
Come over here Hun
And look at this app with me
It was best to be compliant
Despite the mischief in her eyes
Dearest said
This is the app of truth
So let's play Truth or Lies

Truth or Lies
No compromise
On Truth or Lies
It always ends in tears
And that is no surprise
Truth or Lies
Grief multiplies
On Truth or Lies
Leave it in the App Store
Be damned otherwise

The polygraph 
Won't make you laugh

Then she asked me about Sandra
Like so many times before
I said love, give it a rest now
Cos that was 1994
But the polygraph made a squiggle
And she cried out I knew it
I gave you a chance to come clean
But guess what, you blew it

RPT CHORUS

Sandra said she loved me
But I watched her squirm and wriggle
As she watched the polygraph line 
Squiggle
Squiggle

Une lettre du passé

Je me souviens
Sous le regard de la lune
Je me souviens 
D'un passé qui se rallume
En tas de braises
Que je croyais en cendres
Et devient fournaise
Mais sans pouvoir m'en défendre

Je me souviens
En rouvrant cette lettre
Des jours anciens
Où j'étais à la fenêtre
En espérant
Que je puisse m'enfuir
Et gommer ma vie en
Délire

Car en pension
Où mon cœur s'est déchiré
Comme en prison
Innocent mais accusé
D'être un enfant
De parents trop petits
Ou trop inconscients
Pour cesser tous leurs gribouillis.

Dans cette lettre
Où ma mère me disait
Qu'il fallait mettre
Un bonnet quand il gelait
De bien dormir
Que pour devenir grand
Faut être sans faiblir 
Battant

Cent fois, je l'ai bien relue cent fois
Essayant quand je pouvais
De suivre ses conseils si droits
Mais malgré tout ça, j'ai plus souvent bafouillé
Me suis tordu le cou à chercher ma voie 
Aux quatre coins de mon cœur estropié.

Cent fois, je suis bien tombé cent fois
Cent fois me suis relevé
Toujours marqué, toujours plus droit
Et puis un beau jour comme un vrai conte de fées
L'ivresse de l'amour m'a pris dans ses bras
Aux quatre coins d'un monde émerveillé

Je me souviens
Sous le regard de la lune
Je me souviens
Dans ce temps de fortune
Dans l'air léger 
Où jamais rien ne dure
Tous mes cris d'écorché
Se turent

Mais cette lettre
Que j'ai lue et relue
Je l'aurais suivie à la lettre
Si je l'avais reçue...

Myckaël Marcovic, le 18 février 2020

A letter from the past

I remember
Under the gaze of the moon
I remember
From a reigniting past
In heaps of embers
I believed in ashes
And becomes a furnace
But without being able to defend myself from it

I remember
By reopening this letter
From old days
Where i was at the window
Hoping
That i can run away
And erase my life by
Delirium

Because in pension
Where my heart was torn apart
Like in prison
Innocent but accused
To be a child
From parents too small
Or too oblivious
To stop all their scribbles.

In this letter
Where my mom used to tell me
That it was necessary to put
A hat when it was freezing
To sleep well
Only to become tall
Must be without weakening
clapper

A hundred times, I have read it a hundred times
Trying when I could
To follow her advice if right
But despite all that, I have more often stammered
Twisted my neck to find my way
To the four corners of my crippled heart.

A hundred times, I fell a hundred times
A hundred times got up
Always marked, always straighter
And then one fine day like a real fairy tale
The intoxication of love took me in her arms
To the four corners of a world filled with wonder

I remember
Under the gaze of the moon
I remember
In this time of fortune
In the light air
Where nothing ever lasts
All my screams
Became silent

But this letter
That I have read and reread
I would have followed it to the letter
If I had received it ...

Eklektikos - The Colloquy
August 2020
Duration: 2:55

Part of the Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/ekleltikos-triptych

Eclecticism was first reported to have been practiced by a group of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers who attached themselves to no real system, but selected from existing philosophical beliefs those doctrines that seemed most reasonable to them. Out of this collected material they constructed their new system of philosophy.  The term eclecticism comes from the Greek ἐκλεκτικός (eklektikos), literally "choosing the best".  Colloquy is defined as a gathering for discussion.  

The music of "Eklektikos" brings together the instruments and rhythms of many diverse cultures to create a unique world music.

Prenons-nous la fuite
à foncer droit devant ?
Les choses vont si vite
et nous porte le vent...
 
Une menace fantôme
nous stresse nous presse
agresse nos atomes
nos cœurs pleins d'allégresse.

Essoufflé hors d'haleine...
Faut-il que l'on se cache ?
Ta main je ne lâche :
tes veines sont les miennes.

Nous sommes-nous égarés
tombés dans le panneau
du temps et des marées
qui brisent les anneaux ?

Dernier été 
pour nos âmes éperdues 
dans un paradis perdu
par le courant emportées...
Dernier été
pour nos cœurs à l'épreuve
bercés par le clapotis du fleuve
par la chanson du Léthé.

Dernier été [Zeus and Lukowig]

This collaboration is a song that combines the work of Mandy Alicia and Zeus for a second time. Wonderland is a song about finding a new life. A good life. No one can get you down there because you can be who you are without caring what anyone else thinks of you. This starts with you accepting yourself as you are. Then you can just be. Embrace yourself and create your own paradise. Come to Wonderland whenever you need a place like this. It’s like coming home to yourself. The hope is that the more we practice being who we are without a care that we will be able to do that anywhere and Wonderland will be any place. It’s the place where you can be who you are. Surround yourself with people who accept you as you are and it will get easier and easier :)

So.... finally.... this is it. Andrew Huang's #3. I never thought that i will be able to finish it...... The process for this one is really best to be described as "from HATE to epic FATE".

Number three even destroyed once more the way of how i "usually" and "naturally" proceed with things and do them, when it comes to creating and assembling musical structures. Especially, when there is a "vision" in adding vocals, or even go for a vocal track. I realized, that i did it not exactly, as shown and to be the applied method for this one, as presented in the course. Classic songwriting process from A - Z. Damn you!!!

As the timeline came closer and closer..... i found myself struggling so hard, but still was able , they kinda encouraged us to deliver whatever is ready at that point, to drop a final structure with all the basic core elements as raw as any "diamond" could be, mined deep under the surface in dark caverns....

Then the real struggle began. Course was over, but not this unfinished piece and my natural extremism, which did not allow me to leave it just as it is. At a certain progress you decide - trash it or do it for the sake of learning and finish that damn project! Then i recalled (hehe), and remembered a quote Andrew dropped at a certain stage in the course, which says like "to do something you like, you have to do alot of stuff you dont like".

Keeping this in mind, i took a short break to relax myself and get rid of the pressure -> course over, deadline ended anyway , so why go mad bro? Then the thing developed. I found myself being able to go more and more in the direction i imagined and went down to the rabbit-hole-like tunnel, dug up some more diamonds, back onto the surface, and then processing and grinding and shaping, until they meet the quality you want to have in your jewelry. 

No detailed numbers this time but again, big cred to my fiance for being so supportive and sustaining my sanity, while i still went full psycho mode on this one - but i had to, like for me, personally, this finished song number three is the overall end of this course and the way i shape msyself into music making and trying to make it as entertaining as possible. 

Money is not what I'm after, as this is my hobby, my other love in life, and even if you just don't like stuff sometimes , yet you love it deeply and it deserves that you seriously take care of it....... so here it is... i hope it is a good listen to you - enjoy this little space drama! ;o

Thank you all for tuning in and valuing what i do - again, this community is just so awesome. You all are! <3

Intro:
I, didn't see it coming....
I, didn't see you running....

Verse:
You sneaked out of mission control
smoke and fire everywhere
no hesitation, to abandon us all
smell of searing flesh and hair

verse:
believed we will survive this together
dreamed our kingdom will last forever
now hunting you across the galaxy
with the last broken pieces left of me

chorus:
unpredicted, came this downfall
i recall
heavy wounded, but still i crawl
i recall, i recall
your betrayal, i don't want to recall
recall, recall
was to blind to see it all
i recall

verse:
memories now, coming and fading
my screams, they're all in vain
bombs are flying, troops invading
what's left is only pain

verse:
far across, your ships air-frame
gonna end now your last run
fooled me with your vicious game
aiming, and pull the trigger of my gun

Solo

Chorus:
unforeseen, it is now our end
i recall, i recall
closer and closer, ready to ascend
i recall, i recall
visions of our younger selves appear
i recall i recall
a final thought, a bittersweet tear
my last recall

Broken Memories

This is the story of my first “eclipse”, experienced alone in the wilderness of Oregon in August, 2017. It’s a long story, but the story behind this song.

I drove to Oregon alone to see the great American total solar eclipse of 2017. In Oregon, there is a famous national park called Crater Lake.  This is the deepest lake in America.   In the middle of Crater Lake is Wizard Island. This lake was formed when a huge volcano blew its top a long time ago.  My plan was to see Wizard Island, get a hotel room, and see the eclipse the next day.

There have been numerous stories of strange occurrences around this area from multiple people over the course of centuries.

The time was around 7 pm when driving up Crater Lake Mountain to see Wizard Island… I wasn’t sure where I was going, or how to get down from the mountain. Finally, I saw Wizard Island just as the sun started to set. I remember there was this misty haze in front of the Island. I could barely see it. I got the chills and a weird feeling... It was very eerie.

I tried to find my way down from the mountain in my car, but it was too late, I was lost, and it was too dangerous. There are areas where you can drive off a ledge and fall a long way. No fun. I had to pull over in the wilderness and spend the night in my car…

Hours passed, and I fell asleep.

What happened next is the strangest thing I’ve experienced in my life. I woke up, it was still night. My phone wasn’t working, my car wouldn’t start or turn on any lights. I didn’t know what time it was. It was disturbing to me they were both "dead", and I was panicked. Then I noticed the area around my car was alternating in brightness, like truck lights... But that wasn't it. I got out of my car to check it out.

But the sky was weird. The moon was weird. It was all weird. The moon was alternating between being clearly visible… And being pitch black. Like it was “blinking”. It would take 5 seconds to get black, then about 5 seconds to get bright again. The stars were barely visible. I stared in disbelief for maybe 30 seconds, it kept happening.  The air around me had a feeling of electric charge to it.   I started hearing a lot more animals, and they seemed to surround me. They were in the bushes and trees, everywhere. It got more troubling quickly when I could discern soft human voices. I couldn't see animals or people. 
I wasn't on any drugs, I was saving my drugs for the following day and the journey home.

Time seemed too slow. I backed up to my car, got in, and locked the doors. I remember a feeling of utter disbelief in my senses. Without any idea what to do, I climbed in the backseat and lied down. I thought any second I could die.

The next thing I remembered, I woke up. It was about 6:30 am. My car worked. My phone worked. And this was the morning of August 21st, 2017… The first day of the total solar eclipse which many of us would see later that day.  

But what I saw was something else.

Something very weird happened to me up there on that mountain that night, and it’s haunted me. I know several people will think "Manufactured lies!" Several others will think "Cool story bro...", well think what you want...

Later that morning when getting breakfast, still shook-up, I asked 2 waitresses if they heard of anything strange last night around Crater Lake. One said "no", the other said, "There's always something strange happening".

I remember one time a girl asked me why my music is so dark...
I’ve seen some sights.

Try to check out Crater Lake, Oregon, if you've never seen it.
Don't get lost.

- John

Widows Watch

Sept Le Charme ~ Widows Watch

SolipSystemic

Firstly on easy listening 6/4 bars, I cut some notes out of the main theme so as to give it dynamism, and finally obtained a prime amalgam of 17 quarter notes. I hid any recognizable thing in the accompaniment, and for the organic lines (voice and guitars) I tried the strong rhythm would not fix too much the melodies, first paying a lot of attention, and finally ... just letting me go.

Translated lyrics:

Oídos sordos (17 negras)  /  Deaf ears (17 quarter notes)

Quiero gritar todo lo que siento, estando solo;  /   I want to shout out everything I feel, being alone;
pero gritándolo al viento y si no contesta,  /  but shouting it at the wind and if it doesn’t answer,
dime, ¿de qué me sirve? (bis)  /  tell me, how does that help me? (bis)

Todos los vientos conocen mi historia  /  All the winds know my story
pero no hacen nada.  /  but they don’t do anything.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

He estado aquí y allí gritando como un loco,  /  I’ve been here and there screaming like a madman,
pero todo sigue igual.  /  but it’s all the same.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…

Ahora sé que no sirve de nada;  /  Now I know it’s no use;
el viento sois todos que callais al verme,  /  all of you are the wind, silent when you see me,
y dejáis que hable y hable,  /  and letting me speak and speak,
y dejáis que hable y hable y hable.  /  and letting me speak and speak and speak.

No creo que vuelva mañana  /  I don’t think I’ll be back tomorrow
a escuchar vuestro silencio.  /  to listen to your silence.
Quiero encontrar a alguien. (bis)  /  I want to find someone. (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…

Oídos sordos (17 negras)

It sure seems there's always malice in the palace. Either you’re in the palace causing malice or you’re trying to stop the malice. In both cases there's still malice in the palace. As subjects, we have to live with that malice, so get out and vote. And if voting doesn’t make a difference, get out there and storm the palace, but only for a cause I believe in, lol. 

I love roots reggae and am stuck in the period between '68 and '82. Don’t get me wrong, ska is great, and I lump rocksteady into my preferred period of reggae. And I am not saying I don’t appreciate later periods of reggae and dancehall. I did enjoy the 90s dancehall that often went along with golden era hip hop. But I will always like 70s roots reggae best. I must be old. 

Thanks SoundCloud friends for making roots reggae with me and helping me LARP my musical fantasies. You're all the best! May everyone live out their rock star dreams.

Trodding in this world of inequity 
People dying in the city
Kings in palaces show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
And don’t you try to quell us
Or we’ll be storming up the citadel, yes! 
You’ve got to be pure of heart and pure mind
Cause blessed are the pure in heart
So you’ve got to live clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
And in the end, the last shall be first, and the first last 
For many shall be called, but few shall be chosen
Trodding in this world of inequity 
People are dying in the city
And kings in palaces dem show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it
For him it is sin
And that is the way of the righteous
For the path may be rocky
But the conscious can remain clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace 
And we’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace, 
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you have to say
And don’t you lie to us
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel, yes!
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel 
There’s too much inequity 
So don’t you try quell
Do good things for in due season we will reap
So do not grow weary in doing good, y’all
And the fruit of the spirit is love, goodness, and peace 
And against such things there is no law
Living in the righteous way is no flaw
There’s Malice in da palace
And We’re storming the citadel
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
Trodding in this world of inequity 
people dying in the city
Kings in palaces dem show no pity
And we’re all going to be storming the citadel, yes!
So Queen Majesty
I wanna have a word with you and lick up da chalice
I wanna hear, I wanna hear, I wanna hear what you have to say
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
And don’t you try to quell us
There’s Malice in da palace
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life
