Written, Played and Engineered by Robin to Roxel.

That Old Creek

This piece opens with a gentle warmth, its harmonies flowing like a serene stream under soft light. Rooted in A-flat major, it delicately balances serenity and quiet strength, with each phrase thoughtfully shaped to evoke introspection.

The tender yet purposeful melody weaves seamlessly through a subtle accompaniment, creating moments of poignant stillness and heartfelt resolution. Embracing simplicity, the composition allows the emotional depth of each note to shine, while gentle modulations trace a narrative of reflection and quiet hope.

Prelude in A-flat major

You might have looked around for help
And you don't know anyone 
Remember Jesus is your friend 
And He will not forsake you 

He said I'll be with you to the very end of your age
Stop crying 
Crying doesn't fix a thing 
Pick up your faith in Him 
No matter what you're going through 
No matter what the world has thrown to you 
Arise and rise look to Jesus 
And rise to Him today 
Look to Him today 
Though your father may forsake you 
Your brother may neglect you 
Your fellow countrymen may not see you 

Jesus won't forget 
But look up 
To the heavens 
He will do it for you 
He won't forget you 
He that endures till the end, He said shall be saved 
Arise and look to the heavens 
Look to Jesus 
And rise unto Jesus 
The author and finisher of our faith 
He won't forget 
He won't forget you

Radio Silence

I wrote a proof once
In the margin of an old book
It held
It sang in silence
I solved a riddle no one posed
But someone should have
And the page
Bent to my will

I was on a train
Between Oxford
And existential despair
Light flickered. Ink cracked
My coffee spilled
Still, logic marched in perfect rows
Shining
Afraid to be alone

But the margin
Too narrow
For voices like this

I drew your outline
In the corner, soft and hidden
Lines too gentle for names
Wrote a vow, never signed
A plan with no axis
And the paper
Tensed beneath my wanting

Under the station's hum
I footnoted everything I didn't say
Margins full of detours
Echoes of maybe
Each heartbeat struck
A chord I never dared to play

What if the page could break open?
What if the lines ran wild?
Not neat. Not safe. Not approved
But real
Bleeding past every edge

Because the margin
Was never enough
Not for this voice
Not for us

Tear it out
Let the ink run free
We'll write where no lines go

The Margin Was Too Narrow

I just wanna know how you can treat me like I am nothing, you made the assumption, that I am just something that’s made for a punching, a beating, here and I am weeping, tell me what’s the meaning, I’m bleeding you see me, I’m hoping for a reason, 
And nobody cares bout the terror and despair that you’ll up n the deep end, or my face, and my place is just somewhere in disgrace, and you want me in my grave, and the pain that feel everyday doesn’t ever go away, and I pray for a good day to come, maybe one, but I’m done, and I run, somewhere to the sun, cause I’m feeling so depressed, what a mess, and my death will anticipated, tell me why you hate this, time that I’m wasting, hoping for a day where its not so complicated, I prayed but the blessing never came and im here in my decay
 Time like these, they are so lethal, Im here and I’m feeble, you told me I’m weak tho,
And you treated me so evil, like I’m not people
All because you don’t feel like we are equal,

Anybody else prevented from accessing SC servers via VPN?  All of them are blocked for me.  This is the first time it happens to me in six or seven years of almost daily SoundCloud activity.  I use a VPN in SC because when I don't I get horrible delays that show up in many different ways.  The only explanation I have found is that somehow their security/identification system has flagged my IP address and introduced all kinds of speed bumps.  It makes the experience very unpleasant, irritating.

Why was Jonathan Bellot's account
[https://soundcloud.com/jonathanbellot] deleted?
...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
Sorry Joe. =(

sometime in 2025:
I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.

I

I've had no formal training in music, sound engineering or anything, just time, patience and practice. I'd say I've written well over a thousand songs in my life. Most of them thrown away, but some make it here and other platforms.

My aim with music is to just write whatever i want to write. If that means experimenting with genres and not doing what's popular, then so be it. I know that this is technically a popularity contest, but whatever. If a handful of people like my tunes, then I'm pretty happy. I've never had any intent to make money from this endeavour - but hey if somehow, somewhere it happens... then I aint gonna say no.

My music charts my philosophical views, my perceptions on how other people see life, words and phrases I've heard while meditating and crazy stuff my brain tells me when my mental health is suffering. In some instances, I try to be relatable but I’d also be worried if you relate to my words.

I hope you enjoy my music - and if you do let me know via comment or message. I'm always up for a chat.
