"Let's Try Again" - Edeltraud Trncik feat. Viktor Trncik

A song about second chances, originally written in 2010, 
now remastered and reimagined in 2025 with full orchestral arrangement.

When a singer-songwriter and an engineer-musician create together,
magic happens. This is our invitation: Let's Try Again.

🎹 Piano, Strings, Guitar, Bass, Drums
⏱️ 3:14
📍 Freiburg, Germany
💙 For everyone who believes in second chances

Lyrics:
How do I know that I've loved you all this time
Does it surprise you all that we turn around and smile
And I've been waiting for an invitation to your life
I've said what's now in this note that I leave on your pillow
So why don't we try again
Why don't we try again

And if they could see us
They might say what you said last year
And if we could change them
We'd be lovers again not friends
Well I've been waiting for an invitation to your love
I said in this note I left on your pillow
What now
Why don't we try again
Why don't we try again

Yes tonight I can hear you whisper
The words you would say if we were honest
Tonight I could feel it when you were next to me
And baby it's so clear to me that we can go back
And I've been waiting for an invitation to your life
So why don't we try again
Why don't we try again
Darling take my hand I promise you it won't be like before
But darling baby we can try again

And just pretend nothing happened
Let me look into your eyes
Then we'll kiss and take it slow
But I always knew that I love you

Let's Try Again

My sound is appealing to me, but I can't structure the sounds in a good order. Like ocean waves. If it was at least like the waves of a lake or river, I'd be able to structure my music as tasteful waves of sound.

I want to play among the waves of sound(329)

This one's pretty typical of how I tend to compose music - I often create a drum beat I like, then add a bass and build around that. The main inspiration for this ditty was basically to play to a less common time signature, in this case a 7/8 rhythm. That reminded me of the funny 'yes, but yellow' meme circulating out there on the internet, so I whipped up this quick image in Photoshop to go with it (note the yellow slice is 1 eighth of the pie).  😊

I'm playing all instruments here on keyboard, except the slide guitar (dobro?), which is made up of several short loops in Garageband, sliced up to fit the 7/8 pattern I wanted)

Thanks for listening; hope to ketchup with your stuff soon!  


INSTRUMENTS:
-bass
-drums
-percussion
-Wurlitzer electric piano
-slide guitar (loop)
-tenor sax
-trumpet
-clavinet
-B3 organ

Most of the Time (Funk in 7/8)

This song is about the space between performer and audience. And about the spaces between all of us.

-----------------------------

Here I am on the stage tonight
Trying to make them laugh
Like a priest in the darkness 
Trying to keep my faith

Oh, help me, Jesus
The faraway eyes

Words that fail to reach
As thin as the air
Faith is not thunder
I wonder if they care

I’m standing on the edge tonight
Staring into the void
Waiting for the whisper 
To find me as I stand

Oh, help me, Jesus
Will one heart be moved?

Outside, the wind rattles 
The glass in its frame
It beats me every time I
Try to play the game
I try to play the game

The dust floats through the spotlight
And settles on red velvet
I tried to write the perfect line
One you will adore
You’ll cry for more
Or have you heard this one before?

I shape my words into 
Little wooden boats
I push them out to sea
They sink without a trace

Oh, help me, Jesus
The bodies in the chairs

They put their hands together
To signify my worth
Or is it just the sound of rain
Against the hollow earth?

Or is it just the sound of rain
Against the hollow earth?

On The Stage

My earliest musical memories are of a small home on Williams Street, where my family moved when I was three. After dinner, my father would play hymns on his Conn organ, and I would sing along. That simple, shared ritual was my first introduction to music.

Our time at the organ came to an end a couple of years later when we moved, and my father's schedule became busier with teaching, pastoring, and graduate studies. I soon moved on to singing along to albums of musicals, and eventually, my mother became my first piano teacher. But I'll always remember that it was my father who first gave me a love for music. This piece is in his memory of him.

Forgotten Glacier feat. joerxworx

Static is an edgy alt-rock anthem about breaking free from the noise. Electric guitars snarl over pounding drums as Artemis & Nymphs capture the chaos of modern life, where thoughts blur with the world’s static, until clarity cuts through and the ride begins.

Static

"Synthetic Pain“ is not an ordinary song – it is a weapon, a mirror, a strike to the heart.
A voice, born artificial, sings the words I forged. It is cold, built from steel and code – yet it carries emotions that can only rise from a human abyss. Love that tears apart. Hate that poisons. Desire that can never be fulfilled.
Maybe you hate the machine because it sounds too real. Maybe you hate me for using it. Maybe you hate yourself for feeling what you never wanted to feel.
But maybe you love it for the same reason. Maybe in this synthetic voice you find something haunting – because it touches you even though it should not live.
The voice in “Synthetic Pain” was not sung by a human – it was created by me.
With ACE Studio I shaped a synthetic female voice, but every note, every melody line, every phrasing comes from my own hands. The AI only provides the vocal instrument, the raw material. Expression, dynamics, emotion – all of that comes from my design, my melody, my lyrics.
It is not random – it is craft. The machine only sings because I command it to breathe, to break, to whisper, to scream. Without me, it would remain silent, cold, and worthless.
„Synthetic Pain“ proves one thing: hate and love are twins, born from the same heartbeat. Artificial or real no longer matters – only the wound that remains.

 Lyrics
A shadow grows inside my heart,
it feeds in silence, tears apart.
Love escapes, while hate remains,
a captive soul in dream’s domain.

I search for light inside your eyes,
but every spark it fades, it dies.
Between the heavens and the fall,
the night will take me once for all.

The gods are silent, cold and blind,
their shelter lost within the wind.
My head is filled with empty frames,
hope withers fast, my cry remains.

I search for light inside your eyes,
but every spark it fades, it dies.
Between the heavens and the fall,
the night will take me once for all.

Together lonely, sweetest bane,
my body sinks, my soul in chains.
The cage is torn, yet freedom lies,
as darkness steals the morning skies.

A quiet fire consumes me whole,
my scream dissolves, it leaves no soul.
Desire burns, it scars me deep,
till nothing in me breathes or speaks.

I search for light inside your eyes,
but every spark it fades, it dies.
Between the heavens and the fall,
the night will take me once for all.

Together lonely, sweetest bane,
my body sinks, my soul in chains.
The cage is torn, yet freedom lies,
as darkness steals the morning skies.
