The Devil's playing something pretty cool....I'll take the call!!

Love the drums especially but great musicianship all round. Nice mellow groove goin’ on. Sounds like Frank Z. is gonna join in any second (with deep voice)😎

Love the randomness of colors and colliding resonance.

...and if I need inspiration, here's the right Cloud....

The dazzling light of the first days of June. On my side of the world, in the Northern Hemisphere, June is a happy month, when nature is at its maximum splendor, with its flowers and colors, its lush life, its light. The days are longer, the climate is mild and people are happier, with more desire to go out, inebriated with so much wonder, for the beginning of summer.
Thanks to my dear inestimable friend @Rosindust for her performance at violin. The counterpoints are from my new cello! Some parts were too low for the violin so I took the plunge and used the cello I bought a few months ago when, in a moment of extreme optimism, I thought it would be easier to play it.. :)

And, of course, I took this photo in June.

June - with Rosin dust

This song was originally intended to be sung. In the end we were unable to match the meaning of the lyrics with that of the music. Pefhaps one day we will take it up again. In the meantime, here is the instrumental version.

Where I´m Going?

Hi there. This is a result of me toying with one drum loop from looperman.com, some fl studio presets, and um... just a *tiny* bit of crazyness. (ok??) :) I had lotsa fun. :D 

Hope you enjoy!

Voicemail From Hell

Reworked version of "Glitchout", 

lyrics:

Were you someone, I have to be asking
grew up serene, away from the struggle
and strife now presented that never did touch you
but words of deception that make you believe
that the world was on fire, injustice abound
right at your doorstep to take all your freedom?
but just close your eyes, there was never a real threat
other than the ones of split tongues and venom!

wired up, side on break the violence
fired up, ride on, hear the silence

tell me again who you were once ago
when the future was open and dreams were allowed
think of exactly who told you the difference
between cats and dogs and the hits that were misses?

the tales that were spun on a landfill of gaps:
all cognitive bias we need to unlearn!
projection, reflections, deflections, the point is
we all want our freedom and peace with the world

wired up, side on break the violence
fired up, ride on, hear the silence

Glitchout (wokey wokey version)

Another fun one with my longtime collaborator @enigmacurry !

Nitro - with Well

"Faust", Charles Gounods opera, based on the tragic tale of the aging scholar Dr. Faust who made a deal with the devil to relive his youth, and in the process seduces, an finally ruins young innocent Marguerite's virtue and subsequently her life, premiered in 1859 at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris.
The aria "Avant de quitter ces lieux" however was added in 1864, when the opera was first given in English, and Gounod wrote a new aria for baritone Charles Santley in the role of Valentin.

Piano by Helen Roberts

We hope you'll enjoy :)

Lyrics

VALENTIN
Avant de quitter ces lieux,
Sol natal de mes aïeux,
A toi, Seigneur et Roi des cieux,
Ma sœur je confie.
Daigne de tout danger
Toujours la protéger,
Cette soeur, si chérie.
Délivré d'une triste pensée
J'irai chercher la gloire au sein des ennemis,
Le premier, le plus brave au fort de la mêlée,
J'irai combattre pour mon pays.
Et si, vers lui, Dieu me rappelle,
Je veillerai sur toi fidèle,
Ô Marguerite.
Avant de quitter ces lieux, etc.
Ô Roi des cieux, lève les yeux,
Protège Marguerite, ô Roi des cieux!

English

VALENTINE
Before I quit these parts,
birthplace of my forefathers,
to Thy care, o Lord and Ruler of the skies,
I confide my sister.
Deign to protect her always
from every danger.
My sister, so dearly loved.
Freed from care and worry,
I will go to seek glory in the enemy's midst,
foremost and bravest in the thick of the fight,
I'll go to fight for my country.
And, if God should call me to Him,
I will watch faithfully over you,
o Marguerite!
Before I quit these parts, etc.
O King of heaven, look down
and protect Marguerite, o King of heaven!


Avant de quitter ces lieux (Faust - Charles Gounod - @rehearsals with Helen Roberts)

1. Movement - Demise:
The first movement portrays a gradual descent, culminating in absolute despair.
After a brief, enigmatic introduction, the piece unfolds episodes of carefree and jubilant dancing, intertwined with moments of social revelry.
But with a hauntingly oppressive cry for help, desperate calls, the work plunges deeper into despair, culminating in utter dissolution. 
The instruments, scattered across the vast sonic landscape, attempt to connect, yet fail.
The first movement concludes in profound hopelessness, with a fragile lament fading away through descending semitones, drained of all strength.

Pandemic Symphony - Demise

A quiet ambient piece with simple patterns and slow movements,  
carrying a slightly nostalgic atmosphere.  
Designed as a late-night soundscape for calm listening and clear thinking.
