this part is full of rich textures...amazing world

Wow. I'm really speechless and bow deeply before you.

What an awesome laid back vibe, and with deeply chilled audio atmospheres of the absolute very highest order throughout. The sax performance is so smooth sounding and with the most pleasing of tones to it, and balanced perfectly in the mix I thought. Great work in creating such a huge stereo image with the widely panned strings, and the bass work is incredible !! Wowzers, what a track.

Wonderfull track with an impressive work to render all the instruments (the double bass play particularly speaks to me :-))

I love the ambient jazz fusion style! Really well executed!

Your consummate skills in producing such a wonderful piece have always been and will always be an absolute wonder to me.  Your understanding of the dynamics within each and every instrument you play simply takes my breath away.  Sorry to be so late in listening but at least I made it here eventually.  Outstanding work, my friend!

amazing! Looking forward to listening to more of your finely crafted tracks :D

your bass line and Flow are superb, and that Sax Kills it. hell man..it's all sounds like the kind of band we'd love to lead Live! :D  Right?  :-D

Calm & Steady series

- short tracks of dance music

All tracks were uploaded between 02/2021 and 05/2021, with the following older exceptions:
. . - Fonal Rec (Lau Nau: Valolle)(#13): 8 years,
. . - P a b l o  "Fetal Position"(#18): 7 months,
. . - Bleach "escape"(#17): 6 months,
. . - Caustic Cheese "Bubble"(#1): 5 months,
. . - ANSOUND "THE STONE BENCH"(#14): 3 months.

The other series (short tracks) so far are:
- "Hard-Fast-or-Nasty" (more intense/abrasive)
- "MiddleLane", and "Superdance" (the middle, or ambivalence)
- "Funky-Dub-Trap", and Funky (terminology conundrum)
- "Fantaisies" (for professional dancers only)
- "Minimal"
- "Dark"
- "BreakB-Jungle-DnB"

There is little overlap between them, mostly between: *
. . A) MiddleLane, Superdance
and
. . B) all other series

* Increasingly there is some overlap between "Calm & Steady" and "Funky-Dub-Trap", and between a bunch of others (Dark, Minimal, ...). I'm trying to keep it to the minimum, the overlap, tracks finding themselves in more than one playlist.  I don't think I'm very good at it.

This is the first installment in a new collaborative experimental concept album project that Stonerjazz and I have dreamed up! Thanks Uziel and Jeff for an awesome collab experience, this was so much fun!

-- LYRICS --

VERSE 1 (original words by Stonerjazz):

Enjoy and deploy the decoy for the marvelous girl and boy with the dog with the bell who can tell it's a plot or a ploy for Roy the despicable despot in the mysterious land of ZED.
Sleeping in my bed like the dead with the fed who breaks down the door with the might of the law and a mechanized Saw.
Where pity is scarce and money is gone for good, misunderstood in mysterious days and weeks ahead
To be led to the spot where they chop off the heads of all those that disagree that the kids should be free, just around the bend from where the horses run free and there's barely a tree to be seen...

VERSE 2 (A warriors mantra from the book "The Eagles Gift" by Carlos Castaneda):

I'm already given to the powers that rule my fate, and I cling to nothing
so I will have nothing to defend..
I have no thoughts, so I will see
and I fear nothing, so I will remember myself
detached and at ease, I will dart past the eagle to be free.

Johnny's Magical Squeezebox (Land of the ZED #1) - Stonerjazz | Uziel | Tea Are Sea

My new moody Celtic offering full of piano, erhu, clarinet, bass, drums and synths! Mastered by my wonderful bf Sander once more. Thank you, always....😊❤️❤️❤️🎶😊🎤🎼🎧🎹

SECOND TO NONE

The debut album of the Waggish Sheep Project, in which he takes the stage and tells the story of a black sheep through music.  The numbered tracks suggest a listening order. It combines several musical trends, which sometimes surprise, sometimes touch, but definitely results in a unique style. The multi-instrumentalist musician pays tribute to his recently deceased younger brother with this material.

Children Of The Universe/Same Planet**FREM& Special Cecilia

This song was written by one of Australia's greatest songwriters, Archie Roach, in 1990 and was included in his first album “Charcoal Lane”.   I have seen Archie live many times – he gives such great performances that I was a bit dubious about posting my own version of his song.   I justify the posting on two grounds: one, this is not one of Archie's best known songs, and, two, I have done this song many times in small venues.
	 If you wish to hear what this song really should sound like, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wy9sxcxOFU for Archie Roach's original version.

Lyrics:
	Sitting here in a lonely old guest house
	I'm sure that my life is all through
	Scratching fleas and watching a grey mouse
	and making love to the memory of you

	For without you I'm weak and uncertain
	And I feel so naked and cold
	Like a window without any curtains
	My innermost feelings unfold

	The drink I just had
	It wasn't as bad as the first
	But drinking won't do
	When it's only for you I thirst

	For your kiss it quenches all burning
	It's sweeter than the sweetest of wine
	Now you're gone I find myself yearning
	For the love that I left behind

	Nobody can heal the pain that I feel inside
	And if I said I'm strong and I'm never wrong
	I lied

	Nobody can heal the pain that I feel inside
	And if I said I'm strong and I'm never wrong
	I lied. I lied.

I've Lied

I've Lied (Archie Roach cover)

Keith was dabbling with a small keyboard. A little melody flowed.  It all flowed from there. Sometimes the simple beginnings inspire some deep thoughts. Choices always intrigue me - variations on the theme of "should I stay or should I go?" How do you weigh that decision in a relationship? The answer is in the title - when you come to the uncomfortable awareness that there is nothing special to keep you, so Nothing Special is left behind.

Nothing Special (left Behind) 

    1. In the middle of the night I slip away
    At the crack of dawn I'm gone 
    The pain inside me grows, 
    Until I have no more
    Never, never gonna see me coming' back
    Never, never, gonna see me begging' to come home—(aaaaaaah)

    2. I can only stand the thought I hold 
    When i let it go
    When I can't feel it anymore, 
    Time has made me whole
    Never, never gonna see me coming' back
    Never, never, gonna see me begging' to come home—(aaaaaah)
    (CHORUS)
    Oooooh…nothing special left behind
    Oooooh…nothing special left behind
    Oooooh…nothing special left behind
    Nothing special, nothing special, nothing special left behind
    (INSTRUMENTAL)

Creep by Radiohead (short cover by Mera Khai)

Too close to home is the second track to be taken from my elements e.p and solo project 
To overcome darkness and isolation we have to reset our-selfs  from within and find the light its humanity against the elements but nature will always find a way and win [Jim mystic manser nov 2020]
lyrics 
The pressure cookers boiling and we got to close to home
 society has been spoiling all the things we loved and known 
locked down and now you say your missing having fun
just a way of nature telling you shes done
is it me ? looking too a grey and empty sea
is it you ? doesnt have a clue what we supposed to do
and now its all to close to home
they say your better off alone 
and i keep running from the storms 
to find a place thats safe and warm

put my arms and legs into the rain and in the air
frustrated travellers you arent going anywhere
just a slice of fiction now its getting hard to laugh
like a faded actor who hides an autograpth
is it us? making to much fuss to get from A to B
or is it me living in this life of novel mysteries

OCHTENDGLOREN | Short Tales Part V

“Ochtendgloren” is a great Dutch word meaning “Dawn”. But in a more poetic sense, it has a sense of optimism, it holds a promise of a beautiful day to come. The morning dawns on the horizon...
The track travels through several different fields and textures, traveling acoustically through many different styles, I feel it’s hard to categorize where this would land in an overall description, but I guess World fusion comes closest. But it contains elements of classical, Jazz, flamenco, Latin, pop, rock, blues.

I play my Flamenco Negro guitar again in a setting of a guitar trio. In form it can be considered as a continuation of my Short Tales series. The lead guitar has long sections that are improvised over the bed of the two accompanying guitars.

I hope you will enjoy this fifth Short Tale and as always I really enjoy your likes, comments and shares. -Dan

Ochtendgloren | Short Tales part V |  Dan van den Berg

If someone had told me that this composition would finally be like this 7 years ago, I would not have believed it.

Recently posted a new review of this song, I thought about the tremendous voices that Dan-DT uses in his compositions: sweet and deep voices, beautiful in all the concepts that accompany his fantastic melodies.

That is why I proposed to him to replace my almost inseparable choruses so used in my songs so that he could complete the melody in the best possible way (According to his preference, of course). For me this collaboration has been an enormous satisfaction since I am an admirer of everything published here. Dan also added soft sounds that further nuanced the melody.

For my part I made an added intro and some additional track from KV331.

I recommend waiting for minute 1:03 where you can see the difference with the previous version due to the enormous quality provided by Dan.

Merci beaucoup Dan.

Sorry We Can't Make Love (CHANOIRS VOL.1)

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  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.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

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'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.
