Back in 2024 Dan C E Kresi and myself started working on a few ideas. Being the master of slicing and splicing that he is, he took some guitar parts I recorded and twisted them into something new....
Something called... OKTOPIA

These are the first tracks to be finished with more to come later.

Our styles may be very different, but when galaxies collide, sometimes magic happens! :)

Deep Dive

This is the lyrics version of my piano piece (https://soundcloud.com/konrad-spittelberg/the-clap-of-one-hand). (Roughly) same melody, but now with lyrics. 
If the melody left you puzzled about the title, maybe the lyrics will connect the dots. Hope you enjoy it — drop me a comment, I’m curious what you think!

The Clap of One Hand - Lyrics
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The high priest looked the monk straight into the eyes 
“You search for wisdom, want to see through disguise 
Then hear the clap of only one hand, 
Imagine tasting the kiss of only one lip!”

The monk was puzzled, did not know what to make of this question 
His mind was racing without the slightest suggestion 
The meaning was hiding so deep 
He could as well go to sleep

And as he lay down he thought and he thought some more, 
And soon he’d snore a Monkish snore 
Deep in his dream he saw the cosmic law 
As it is and will be and has been before

To find the truth you need to see the world through different frames,
As place and motion, time and energy play Heisenberg’s games
The one single truth, the clap of one hand deceives the ancient lore

And then his dream shifted to our world
Where flags of dogma are unfurled
Where it’s en vogue to scorn the views of those 
Whose minds are differently curled

They yell their slogans convinced that it's only their kind who knows truth
They silence doubt and debate to keep everything smooth
They vote in blocs convinced others mean harm
They don't want to discuss they don’t want to disarm
They spit poison and phlegm - 
Them is us, us is them

The monk awakened quite surprisingly rested – and something like pride filled his chest 
The dream had opened his eyes and he knew the deep meaning that the koan expressed 
And so as fast as his feet could carry him he ran to the temple ground Requesting to see the high priest and as soon as he met him he told him the solution he found:

“Avoid the clap of one hand 
'Cause you can not understand 
The world in all its true colors if your mind cannot bend 

Every Current or Tide 
Must with others collide, 
A single stream is quite boring, nothing happens inside.

Seek out the voices that are not like your own – 
Don’t guard your comfort like a dog protects its chewed upon bone 
Be cautious if all of your friends do agree – 
You might discover greeater insights without cheap harmony

A field of only one crop may spark in sunlight like gold, 
But slight disease might turn these fragile monoculture to mold 
No coral alone can just survive with it’s kind – 
Reefs only thrive when hundredthousand curious creatures entwine

Don’t flatten the ground so that your pace can be faster –
'Cause if you don’t train your balance each false step means disaster 
All life, all vision needs to ripple and bend – 
Not frozen in uniformity but free to transcend”

The monk fell silent, his speech was complete - 
He wanted praisal, but the priest kept his seat. 
An awkard silence filled slowly the air, 
The priest just sat there with a calm, timeless stare

“I like your thinking—it rings wise, it rings bold, 
It has reason, it's crafted, it's gold. 
But, dear monk, there might be one subtle twist: 
There is one aspect that you seem to have missed.

You see the truth where opinions compete, 
That wholeness only grows where none is complete. 
But if no single view should stand out alone 
Then even your own view must be overthrown

You praise duality, the joining of two - 
But what if your view in itself is not true? 
What if the world isn't built as you claim? 
What if we’ll never know the rules of the game?"

Hear the clap of one hand 
Avoid the clap of one hand 
Hear the clap of one hand 
Avoid the clap of one hand 
Hear the clap of one hand 
… Reflect on the clap of one hand

INANNA

There´s a sound as darkness grows
In the moorlands till the nightwind blows
There´s a whisper up in the evening sky
Out in the distance the seagulls cry

Inanna.. Inanna.......Inanna.. Inanna

There´s a glow, a flickering in the air
Causing a change, a change of atmosphere
When the sun goes down , it´s fiery red
The moonlight shines so bright instead

It´s the wind that whispers in my ear
Sweet words of soothing I yearn to hear
As we sit  and watch the glowing stars above
Peaceful hours bring words of love

Inanna.. Inanna..a walk in the moonlit night
Inanna...Inanna..a dance in the shine of the moonlight
Inanna.. Inanna..a kiss in the face of the goddess
Inanna.. Inanna.......

Inanna.. Inanna..a walk in the moonlit night
Inanna.. Inanna..a dance in the shine of the moonlight
Inanna.. Inanna..a kiss in the face of the goddess
Inanna.. Inanna..a touch under cover of darkness

Inanna.. Inanna.. a walk............................................

Inanna

Fragments of life

WELL IT IS HEAVEN  IN PARADISE
PASTIS AT SEVEN EN TERRASSE
AN ANGEL IS PASSING SUR LE TROTTOIR D’EN FACE
LIFE WAS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY
IT’S BEEN A LONG DAY
NOW YOU’RE IN HEAVEN IN PARADISE

HEY HAVE A MANGO IT’S ON THE HOUSE
DANCE A FANDANGO WITH MICKEY MOUSE
NEVER SAY NEVER DIEU EST DANS LA PLACE
SILENCE ET FERVEUR UN ANGE PASSE

YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY
IT’S BEEN A LONG DAY
NOW YOU’RE IN HEAVEN IN PARADISE

IT IS HEAVEN IN PARADISE
PASTIS AT SEVEN ABOVE THE STARS
NEVER SAY NEVER YOU NEVER KNOW
ALWAYS IS OVER YOU HAD TO GO 

YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY
IT’S BEEN A LONG DAY
NOW YOU’RE IN HEAVEN IN PARADISE

YOU HAD THE WORST YOU HAD THE BEST
AND NOW YOU GET ETERNAL REST
AT LAST
RELAX RELAX RELAX…

HEAVEN IN PARADISE (Lyrics)

Meditation Vibration

So what now?

The pieces are set,
The board is occupied,
The main actors have taken their positions.

The inevitable is coming,
Fear fills hearts and minds.

Will what many predict come to pass,
Or will fate turn in our favor?

The core of our beings has been seized by the machine.
The art that defined us is being smothered by a flood of perfect artificiality.

Simulation of emotions, simulation of art, simulation of humanity.
Where do we belong?

Where is my place?

And what now?

--------


This is a piece I improvised on March 23, 2025. I was surprised at how well it turned out. However, I didn't know what to do with it. I couldn't think of anything more, so I'm publishing it as is, with minor tweaks (I literally added six notes in three places).

With this piece I am starting a series in which I will be posting rather uncomplicated, short pieces, created out of the need of the moment, under the impression of something specific.

To compose it I used only 3 plugins/sounds
Spitfire LABS Autograph Grand (piano) (free)
Spitfire Originals Intimate Strings x2 (in octave)
And one patch from truly amazing synth from Arturia: Pigments

I hope you like it at least a little bit.

Lyrics 

まるで閉ざされた檻の中
いつか抜け出せるように
たとえ何もかも消えるなら
あとで思い出せるように

それは懐かしい日々だった
誰も傷つけないで
やっとあと少し届くかな
星がゆっくり見えた

all day all night baby
always on your side baby
all day all night
is that true? is that true? baby

あの日すれ違う時の中
まるで確かめるように
やっとあと少し届きそう
星がゆっくり見えた

all day all night baby
always on your side baby
all day all night
is that true? is that true? baby

Always on your side

UM TEMPO PARA TUDO
Ec 3:1-8,11

Pra tudo tem o seu tempo 
E sob o céu, todo plano tem seu tempo, tem seu tempo
Nascer e morrer, plantar e arrancar
O que plantou-se, pra tudo tem seu tempo certo,
Tempo certo;

Tudo belo, em Seu tempo, Ele fez!
Também em seus corações Ele pôs
A eternidade, sem que estes possam descobrir
O que Deus fez desde o princípio ‘té o fim.

Há tempo para matar e curar;
Pra destruir e pra construir;
Há tempo para chorar e sorrir
Para o luto e pra dançar;
Há tempo para lançar as pedras 
E há tempo para juntar as pedras;
E até um tempo pra abraçar e afastar-se.


Há tempo para buscar e perder;
Há tempo para rasgar e coser;
Há tempo pra se desfazer, guardar 
Falar e se calar;
Para amar e pra aborrecer;
Num tempo há guerra e em outro há paz.
Pra tudo, um tempo tem!

No estâ todavía en Español….
solo es una Traducción Provicional … 


1-Para todo hay un tiempo, y un tiempo para todo lo que se hace bajo el cielo.
Tiempo de nacer y tiempo de morir;
tiempo de plantar y tiempo de arrancar lo plantado;
(lo plantado).

Él hizo todo hermoso a su tiempo; también puso eternidad en sus corazones,
pero para que el hombre no descubra lo que Dios ha hecho desde el principio hasta el fin.

2-Tiempo de matar y tiempo de sanar;
tiempo de derribar y tiempo de edificar;
tiempo de llorar y tiempo de reír;
tiempo de lamentarse y tiempo de bailar;
tiempo de esparcir piedras y tiempo de juntar piedras;
tiempo de abrazar y tiempo de abstenerse de abrazar;

3-tiempo de buscar y tiempo de perder. Tiempo de guardar, y tiempo de desechar;
tiempo de romper, y tiempo de coser;
tiempo de callar, y tiempo de hablar;
tiempo de amar, y tiempo de odiar;
tiempo de guerra, y tiempo de paz.
(Un tiempo para todo)

Eclesiastés 3:1-8,11


🌹🎻🌺🎶🌱🌷🌸☘️🌹🎻🌺🎶 


For everything there is a season,
And a time for every purpose 
under heaven 
(under heaven)
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up 
what is planted; 
(what is planted)

	He has made everything 
	beautiful
	in its own time; also He 
	has put
	eternity in their heart,
	yet so that man does not
	find out what God
	has done from the 
	beginning
	to the end. 

A time to kill, and a time to heal; 
A time to tear down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; 
A time to mourn, and a time to dance; 
A time to cast away stones,
and a time to gather stones together; 
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain
from embracing; 

A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to be silent, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; 
A time for war, and a time for peace.
(A time for everything)

Ecc. 3:1-8,11
