On The Sea

Night on Earth (Rehearsal)

I had Spitfire Solo Strings gifted to me a while ago, I’m not even gonna say how long, it’s embarrassing. This track took forever. I knew exactly what I wanted (like I always do), but getting it to sound the way it did in my head? Nope. I lost count of how many times I rage quit.. but I always came back. I’m so glad I’m a stubborn bitch with a caffeine addiction and no sense of when to give up, because now I finally love how it turned out. Worth every dramatic sigh, every thrown cushion, and every “I swear I’m deleting this forever.” 💥🎻☕

I hope it brings you even a sliver of the ridiculous joy I felt when it finally sounded right, because this one nearly broke me and my keyboard. I'm not sure I will ever do another.

☕ The coffee machine let out a steamy wheeze and muttered, “My beans.... my soul.... I can finally rest”.
💿 The microwave blinked slowly and whispered, “That sound you hear? It’s the universe exhaling”.
💨 The kettle let out one last hiss and shrieked, “SHE FINISHED IT, SOMEBODY WRITE THIS DATE DOWN”.

Made in FL Studio using u-he Diva, Arturia Analog Lab, Omnisphere, Vital, and Spitfire BBC Symphony Orchestra. Additional textures from LABS and custom sample layers. Reverb by Valhalla. Also features Spitfire Solo Strings and the Arturia KeyLab Essential Mk3 (61-key)

🎬 Not a movie 🎞️

This is the first in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short and inconclusive tracks, which I’ve assembled by working on new and reworking on some old material adding parts and sounds. 
Will anything actually happen in the end? Unlikely. Definitely not here. Here it’s a montage of bare arpeggios in various keys.
I recorded this some weeks ago: sorry about the guitar sound, the string squeak is a bit too much; now, I hope to have fixed that investing in a better and more expensive set of strings.

Evening Clouds

The sound of a plano dances between the smoke volutes. The warm and melancholic notes are intertwined with the crackling of a cigarette's embers, while time seems to slow down, suspended between the undulating rhythm of jazz and the slowness of a deep shot.
In every melody, in every breath, there is a refuge for those who seek untelled stories, thoughts never confessed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Il suono di un piano danza tra le volute di fumo. Le note calde e malinconiche si intrecciano con il crepitio della brace di una sigaretta, mentre il tempo sembra rallentare, sospeso tra il ritmo ondulante del jazz e la lentezza di un tiro profondo.
 In ogni melodia, in ogni boccata, si trova un rifugio per chi cerca storie non dette, pensieri mai confessati.

Jazz and Cigarettes

I was on a Virginia recently (DC and Virginia Beach were great) and instead of writing an online review, I was compelled to write a musical review of a less than stellar experience I had at a hotel. Recorded on my iPhone using GarageBand with the vocal song using the basic iPhone earbuds.
I stepped into the hotel. I noticed an unpleasant smell. It was a combination of old cigarettes and mildew. 
I went into my room. I could feel a sense of doom. As I took off my shoes and socks and my bare feet touched the grimy floor. 
Things are not the best at the Best Western, they’re going downhill fast, and I’m trying to pretend the glass is half full. I’m trying really hard to have a nice stay at this hotel. I’m trying not to lose my cool.
There was a peloton in the gym, so I sat on it and tried to login, but the bike wouldn’t work because the Wi-Fi wasn’t connected .
I went back to my room for a shower, and it was like I had a special superpower because when I reached for the handle to turn on the water, it came off in my hand .
Sometimes you can have a little bit of bad luck when you book a cheap room and try to save a buck. You can get angry and sit around and stew or you can break out into a song and write a musical review.

With the piano I write simple melodies that resemble stories. My style is a bit "Naïf". Thanks to all those who appreciate and share my compositions. Good life.....
