Description: la chanson du pianiste et compositeur Bruno Martino, "Estate", est devenu un standard du jazz international, grâce notamment à l'extraordinaire reprise en bossa qu'en a fait Joao Gilberto. J'en avais tenté une version jazzy en 2021 , avec ici seulement une nouvelle masterisation

"Rencontre " est le 1er titre de mon album solo piano à venir (sorti prévu en Septembre 2024).

Rencontre

He dreamed of writing the great American novel
But when he tried to write his wheels just spun and spun
So he started doing book reviews to pay the bills
He became the literary equivalent of Atilla the Hun
Brutally criticizing, trying to find things to hate
He became a critic because his work was second rate
It takes years of work to write hundreds of pages
Each author thinks they’ve written a book for the ages
He skims though each manuscript in less than ten minutes
Reviews don’t pay that much so he has to set time limits
He pushed himself to the limit, day after day
100 pages per hour going down motorway
Words, words, words, words, words, words
Words rebel – stretch and widen
they hide between the lines
they crowd, they crowd, they become too vague
darken him, irritate him, push him - out of the margin,
The words all swirl together and he mutters to himself
He sits at his desk for hours. It’s not good for his health
He says if you don’t like my reviews, you can tell me to go to hell
To hell, to hell, you can tell me to go to hell
Sometimes if a good book made him jealous and it got under his skin
He’d write a bad review, try to send it to the discount bin
And every day his reviews grew more and more over the top
Like a shark in bloody water, he was unable to stop
And then one day he was overrun by a train of syllables going counterclockwise
And question marks appeared as the words blurred before his eyes
The words on the page now felt empty
He’d expended all his rage
The meaning of words was inverted
He was trapped in a hopeless cage
He viciously pointed out the flaws
Of all his contemporary peers
He burned his bridges and when he fell
his victims erupted in cheers
Words, words, words, words, words, words
Words rebel – stretch and widen
He said if you don’t like my reviews, 
you can tell me to go to hell
Now he works as a door to door vacuum cleaner salesman and that’s not going well
To hell, to hell, he told them to go to hell
He saw the trainwreck coming but he ignored the warning bell

The Ballad Of The (former) Literary Critic [lyrical collaboration with Michele Ansani]

This piece came from a childhood memory with my grandparents. The clock in the living room represented something immutable for me, like a landmark in the middle of the days playing with my brothers. We know once adults that the time directs us and tricks us sometimes, but we can control it in the present moment, by cherishing and enjoying our families, our friends and remembering those we loved.

L'horloge (the Clock)

[Intro]
Whispers of doubt, echoes of youth,
Caught in the whirlwind, a search for the truth.

[Chorus]
Crash walking – you nailed me again.
Picking scabs – exposing her pain.
Crash walking – I'm shutting down.
Can't stand – their double talking.

[Verse]
"Why do you linger, why embrace slack?"
Judgments thrown like daggers, their words attack.
"Take out the trash," they sneer with disdain so vast,
Yet I rise, unbroken, a phoenix, untamed.

[Bridge]
Pressure mounts, yet I hold my ground,
To the beat of my heart, a defiant sound.
On paths less traveled, my spirit soars,
"Crash walking" through life, where my truth is found.

[Chorus]
Crash walking – you nailed me again.
Picking scabs – exposing her pain.
Crash walking – I'm shutting down.
Can't stand – their double talking.

Crash Walking [Double Talking]

Variation autour de Estate

Back in time
150 
million years ago
Archaeopteryx
 is up to tricks
In the canopy 
His wings he flicks
Y’know 
Y’know 
Looking for a juicy bug
Stegosaurus wonder past
Mammals dug a den
Hearts are beating fast
But will they last?

Only halfway through the dinosaurs long day
Is there really that much I can find to say?

Feathers on the wings
These are newly flying things
Though the birds will really take flight
Easy to miss 
Is Allosaurus Fragilis 
Hiding in the tree line out of sight 
Hold on tight 

Ceratosaurus is the dinosaur we want to see
A nose crest has to be the best, can we agree?

Archaeopteryx 
Has had his big bug nicked
He may be a dinosaur
But that don’t stop a lizards jaw
Tasting victory 
Catastrophe 
Stegosaurus takes a dump
And I won’t do a joke about his rump
Even though I could rhyme arse
Well, shit  - that came to pass

Another day in prehistory
Bring a book and why not stay for tea?

The Game's Not Done By IPG1 & Zitou Itou

🌊 Immerse yourself in the gentle ebb and flow of 'The Shore,' an ambient instrumental journey that captures the essence of the ocean's embrace. Let the soothing sounds of lapping waves, distant seagulls, and the soft caress of the breeze wash over you, transporting you to a place of tranquility and peace.

🧘‍♀️ Whether you're seeking a soundtrack for your meditation practice, a backdrop for your yoga flow, or simply a moment of quiet respite from the demands of daily life, 'The Shore' offers a sanctuary for your mind, body, and spirit.

✨ Let the music guide you to a deeper state of relaxation, where worries fade, and inner peace blossoms. Feel the tension melt away as you surrender to the rhythm of the tides, allowing your breath to synchronize with the gentle pulse of the ocean.

'The Shore' is your invitation to:

    Find serenity amidst the chaos
    Unwind after a long day
    Enhance your meditation or yoga practice
    Drift off to a peaceful sleep
    Embrace the healing power of nature

Press play, close your eyes, and let the ocean's lullaby carry you away. 🌊

The Shore

If catharsis is the sense of relief after tragedy, this is what comes afterward.

The Sound of Light

Amateur de musique, de philosophie, de poésie, je n 'ai pas d'autre culte que l'amitié. J'aime écrire et mettre en musique, j'aime mélanger les genres, et mon piano aux boucles pour étoffer l'un, vivifier les autres, les déranger parfois. La musique ne connaît pas de barrière, sauf de corail!

ma musique est également publiée sur bandcamp avec comme nom d'artiste : semellesdevent
