When https://soundcloud.com/ipg1, historical SC member, offered this open collab from one of his pages: https://soundcloud.com/level-one-up1/unused-multiples-140-bpm-open-for-collab, I was immediately inspired by the modern sound where I felt some rock wanting to get out!

TU AUSENCIA  /  YOUR ABSENCE

(Tu ausencia, tu ausencia…)  /  (Your absence, your absence...)

Hoy que la noche es oscura,  /  Today that the night is dark,
(y estridente)  /  (and strident)
hoy que la noche es brumosa,  /  today that the night is foggy,
hoy que la luna se oculta,  /  today that the moon is hidden,
(largamente)  /  (for long)
la soledad es odiosa.  /  loneliness is hateful.

Hoy que he roto la sonrisa,  /  Today that I broke my smile,
(del pasado)  /  (from the past)
hoy me grita la conciencia  /  today my conscience screams
para acrecentar la prisa,  /  to increase the hurry,
(demasiado)  /  (too much)
careciendo tu presencia.  /  lacking your presence.

El frío de esta noche que ya no es clara,  /  The cold of this night that is no longer clear,
¡el frío de esta noche me llueve tanto!  /  the cold of this night rains on me so much!
y estas gotas que ruedan por mi cara,  /  and these drops that roll down my face,
¿son gotas de lluvia, o son de llanto?  /  are they raindrops, or because of crying?
(¿Son gotas…)  /  (Are they drops...)

Un pasivo gris inunda mi mente,  /  A passive grayness floods my mind,
un gris silencioso que empaña el cielo,  /  a silent grey that steams the sky,
y estos tonos muertos que nadie vierte,  /  and these dead tones that no one pours,
¿son de la tormenta, o por mi duelo?  /  are they from the storm, or from my mourning?

La gélida oscuridad que me viene  /  The cold darkness that comes to me
es la nube fatal de mi existencia,  /  is the fatal cloud of my existence,

¿es frío por la noche, o por tu ausencia?  /  is it cold of night, or because of your absence?

Trance feat. Ryder - Paploviante

"Starting Over" (demo v2)

Made and played by me on August 16 and September 12, 2024, using sounds e.g. from Yamaha Montage 8 (TX816 Electric Piano), Keyscape (Roland MKS-20 EP sound), Arturia Jup-8 V and UVI SonicPass (Emulator II, Marcato Strings sound).

Edited a little on September 12, 2024 (changed melody a bit & added and modified some chords, added some chorus etc.). Mastered with Ozone 11 on September 12, 2024.

I'm also working on an instrumentalized version. Also, this song could maybe use some lyrics, and it is still something I have to look into. All comments would be more than welcome, especially regarding the melody (it seems that good melodies are pretty challenging to develop).

As two sources of inspiration here I could name Luis Miguel's versions of the songs "Toda una vida" (by the great Osvaldo Farrés) and "Ese momento" (by the great Armando Manzanero).

Starting Over (v2)

Butterflies
Open skies
Dancing eyes
Smiles and cries

More Than Just Any Day

An introduction to the next track, The Wolves 🫶🏼

Eh I meant to say .. Most powerful song of mine ever ✅

Introduction to The Wolves

Lyrics
Well, your folk rocks
Pristine
Just over the channel
Brightoned two sheen

Salt Fire looped by the hour
Teachers of tuned tone harmonious flower
Guitars for me cornered still
Their voicings will tend to your will
New musical pathways the pill
Everytime, ears getting that fill

Salt Fire go hear their higher
Salt Fire Lo-fi classical attire
Salt Fire Go hear their higher
Acoustic crumbs of grandeur
Harmonies. The biggest aliens have landed...

So come, let's all fly away in a song
We do it cause we are it
This is where we belong
Good tempered bones
Some tension tones
Utopian homes
Fly away in Salt Fire song
Good bye dystopian drones
We're aligned 
Our staves are long

This song is about the artist Salt Fire across the pond in Brighton. Superb music worth a permanent rabbit hole & I think worth more ears...

Ok so track filled. Added Celtic Harp, Classical Guitar and strings via Keyboard 

Theres a nice point here. So I used the phone recording, imported to the daw and it became the base and click track for the song. It's a nice way of locking in your human time but still filling over it and getting a full tune with more instrumentation. For those ideas your not at the studio and plugged up... 

Android I end up with an m4a - convert to wav for free online (usually fixes bitrate issues) - import to daw audio track - turn off tempo and click track - Your jam just became the click track. Playing to this only then allows you to lock into your feel again as opposed to recreating the whole thing to a click track from scratch...



On the human time... I was chatting with my best friend Anto the other day. He's a fabulous photographer. He shoots only film and uses an eye piece view finder still. He says it feels more instinctual to him. I feel similarly recording things on the spot in random places... You're playing to your instincts which can be spiritually way more creative I think then sitting down and doing it by sums. Both have their merits but starting more regularly in the former more natural way may offer more instinctual goodies. The method part of the process can always iron out and perfect the unusual things you find instinctually in hindsight when further along the process and it's all getting stitched.


To give the phone recording sufficient presence I add reverb 80%20%/compressor for acoustic guitar/EQed for Vocal/Light Stereo Spread for LF & HF. Then I double tracked it each panned slightly either side. The difference is actually a pretty cool example of cleaning something up for use. Recording wasn't changed aside from the dynamics
