WorldWide Cypher Jam Entry Feat. Termite

I close my POTENCIAL BIÓTICO album with this contemporary revival of a philosophical song I wrote 19 years ago when my grandpa died.

Could describe it as a requiem for guitar quartet, 2 voices, rhythmic base & church bell (you may know the piano version at https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/sets/piano-sessions-2012 album).

A mostly slow piece with lotta soul and no artistic ambition (but a little ‘Pros&Cons’ air to the end ;).

Letra / lyrics:

Miedo al cambio,  /  Fear of the change,
incómodo trabajo;  /  uncomfortable work;
molesto planteamiento:  /  annoying approach:
no me gusta lo inesperado.  /  I don’t like the unexpected.
  
A lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a ver las cosas cambiadas de sitio.  /  to see the things moved from place.
Ver a la gente irse al otro lado  /  Watching people going to the other side
es duro si piensas que todo  /  is hard if you think that everything
será siempre lo mismo.  /  will be always the same.

Ay, lo mismo ...  /  Ay, the same thing ...
ah, lo mismo ...  /  ah, the same thing ...
ay, lo mismo a mí...  /  ay, the same to me...
  
No he sabido reaccionar,  /  I didn’t know how to react,
atrapado en mi infantil ilusión   /  trapped in my infantile illusion
de que nada cambia,  /  where nothing changes,
ah, tengo que darme cuenta de lo que pasa,  /  ah, I must realize of what happens,
ay, tengo que salir de esta caja.  /  ah, I have to go out of this box.

a lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a las sorpresas de la vida,  /  to the surprises of life,
a nuevos planes que no había planeado,  /  to new plans I had not planned,
no me acostumbro a considerar  /  I don’t get used to consider
una opción distinta.  /  a different option.

Ay, distinta ...  /  Ay, different ...
ay, distinta ...  /  ay, different ...
ah, distinta a mí,  /  ah, different from me,
a mi pensamiento,   /  from my thought,
a mi forma de ser,   /  from my way of being,
a mi manera de verlo...  /  from the way I see it...

we demostrated out in the streets we demanded the right to be unchained and freed we demanded these things through our stance and our votes no longer will we let you fools rock the boat cause we won't be safe here in another five years we'll all gonna be shedding out billions of tears it's terrible to think but there's truth in the fear we'll all gonna drown and it's alarmingly clear

the government marching we're all on the run they're making new laws confiscating our guns they're taking away all of our basic rights like living with freedom and peace in the night  the land of milk and honey in the land of milk and honey in the land of love

The Land of Milk and Honey by Paisley Buffalo

In the darkness you light my way
When I'm speechless you say what I want to say
Lets just face it this is the only way
You're the one voice that helps me through the day

CHORUS
I know its a struggle to believe
I know from all the stories that I weave
I know that you've always been the one for me

If I was offered a plate of gold
Far more treasure than I could ever hold
Although I was baked in a greedy mould
For you I would swap all of the money in the world

CHORUS

I would walk through the gates of hell
I would fight through the fiercest battle
I'd still be standing as the mightiest fell
And there's no doubting that we just plain gel

CHORUS

In the darkness you light my way
When I'm speechless you say what I want to say

CHORUS

You’ve Always Been The One For Me

A Mystery- Myrh&Tot.

An instrumental Jazz Fusion (Cinematic Jazz) album featuring compositions by Gregor Theelen - newly arranged with added instrumentation by Peter Heckmann. 

The album mix is intentionally crafted with a distinct "live recording" vibe and not overly polished -  a sonic homage to the contemporary Jazz Fusion style of the late 1970's & 1980's (Weather Report, Stanley Clarke, Pat Metheny, Branford Marsalis etc.)

Another bizarro trot around the paddock with the inimitable The Phaige and Dairv W, my astral Neighbours. Gary sent over his backing before Santa loaded up the sleigh and D and I worked independently at first then bounced some ideas around. Gary meanwhile worked his magic with layer upon layer of synth and some really cool bass. D soars and flies magnificently. 
A real pleasure to work with these gents..great talent and always high quality. Modern, proggy music that I hope you enjoy

Snow song 

Snow is descending
Branching out
Fill the world
with a cover of silence
from moist to crystal
A shiny endless glow.

The hour is getting late
The world is getting full.
Will you be there?
With me
    in this snow.

The guitar parts were recorded with my KorgD888. After finding them back again today, I added harmonica, a string sound with the VST Orpheus, and a small vocal part.

Snow Song

It has been a hard year with not a lot to smile about - stressful fear that all will not end in a positive way. But now the fear is going away and there is hope once again. But so many are not here to share that.  There is much sadness in many people's lives. Where will be one year from now? Will we have a new appreciation for the life we had - the one we took for granted? A year ago we had no idea what we were going to go through. So we can smile now.  Not a big smile yet, because we haven't reached the light at the end of the tunnel. We smile a melancholy smile built on hope for our future

A Melancholy Smile

This time is a magnificent classic of Gina Wood.

LEA LEA C’EST LUI C’EST PAS MOI
LE PÈRE NOËL EST EN RETARD MAIS IL A UNE BONNE EXCUSE IL S’EST PERDU DANS LA NATURE DE TES PEINTURES
COMME DANS UN RÊVE
A MOINS QUE LÉGÈREMENT STONY IL NE SE SOIT DÉDOUBLÉ OU QU’IL AIT JOUÉ À CACHE-CACHE AVEC UN SCARABÉE SOMEWHERE UNDER THE CLOUD
OU DANS UN VENT DE SABLE PROBABLE
LEA LEA LIFE IS ONCE A MIRAGE
LA VIE PASSE ET LE VENT POUSSE
A LA VA COMME JE TE POUSSE TEL UN OURS SOUS LA GRANDE OURSE
SUR SES ÉCHASSES
I TOOK A WALK J’AI REFAIT LE FILM À L’ENVERS
DE PANAME À SAN FRANCISCO EN PASSANT PAR LA BRETAGNE LA TRAVERSÉE DU DÉSERT ESCALADÉ LA MONTAGNE
QUI N’ÉTAIT QU’UN INSECTE EN FAIT
I SAW ANN-SO AND I SAW LAUREN AND CECILE
HAND IN HAND WALKING ALONG SOME ELEVATED LAKE
WITH REFLECTIONS IN THEIR EYES OF THE NEONS ON THE HILL AND A BIG CAKE OF LOVE IN THEIR HEART FOR YOU TO BAKE
LEA LEA LIFE IS TWICE A MIRAGE
LA VIE POUSSE ET LE TEMPS PRESSE TILL THE DAY YOU SEE AT LAST
A SLENDER SILHOUETTE FROM THE PAST
J’AI VOYAGÉ DES DEUX CÔTÉS DE LA FRONTIÈRE
CROISÉ MOLLY SUR L’ÎLE AUX POISSONS ROUGES
CIRCÉ DAMIEN VÉNUS ET JOSÉPHINE
MALIK ET GUILLAUME SEMBLAIENT TOUS AVOIR LE GROOVE
LEA LEA C’EST LUI C’EST PAS MOI
C’EST ISLAM QUI DE SA CARTE DU TENDRE T’ENVOIE LA BALLE QUE JE RENVOIE MERCENAIRE À LA COMMANDE
CES MOTS D’AMOUR EN BOOMERANG
LEA LEA LIFE IS 3 TIMES A MIRAGE
LE TEMPS PASSE MAIS RIEN NE PRESSE AND WETHER WE ARE A SPHINX
OR JUST A SMOKY PRINCE
I THINK WE ALL SHOULD TAKE A BREATH
QUEL BEAU VOYAGE OH WHAT A PLEASANT DREAM
TOUS CES AMIS CES PAYSAGES DONT J’AI OUBLIÉ LE NOM
 MAIS JE RESTE SOUS L’EMPRISE UNDER THE PIGEON SPELL D’UN PETIT PONT SUSPENDU UN PETIT PONT DE SINGE
DE TOUS LES CRATÈRES DE LA LUNE DE LEURS MERS ÉVAPORÉES RESTE LA MÈRE DES ÉCUMES ET SES AMOURS ENSORCELÉS
LES PINCEAUX, LA PEINTURE TOUT UN MONDE IMAGINÉ
DES FORÊTS, DES ÉTANGS, DES RIVAGES ENSOLEILLÉS
LEA LEA LIFE IS BUT A MIRAGE
OU LE VENT CHASSE LES PENSÉES JUSTE UN SENTIER QUI SERPENTE PLANTÉ D’UNE TULIPE UNIQUE
LEA LEA PARDON POUR LE PÈRE NOEL
ET PARDON TOUS CE TOUT CEUX QUE J’AI OUBLIÉS SOMETHING NEW THIS I KNOW IS AWAITING THERE FOR YOU ALL YOU’VE GOT TO DO IS LISTEN TO

Shadow of the devil

Things are so complicated in today's world.  Can we even look ahead to the future?  On our modal funk fusion original, I'm joined once again by the artistry of the all-star trio of Italy's Daniele Turani on guitar, and Germany's Georg Boehme on tenor sax and Mirko Borach on bass.  Love what these guys do:
