Dark waters

When Vangelis passed away, something in me passed away too. That night I've done this impro overwhelmed by emptyness, using some of his sounds.

Shadow of Vangelis

that was it

A soft, ethereal piano and strings composition, drifting between stillness and sound. Gentle yet expressive, this piece invites a moment of quiet reflection.

Drifting through Silence

When I wrote this piece it sounded in my ears like an opening for a TV-series, A Crime drama. What do you think?

Based strongly on cover version by Lola Astanova, this arrangement for solo piano is surprisingly challenging. I had a great time learning it and mixing it. It's always fun to do music with such a strong reverb vibes...

--- LYRICS ---
The anchor lies alone, on the ocean floor
The chain is broken
Insane and hopeless

--- BEHIND THE LYRICS ---
That anchor was the last thing keeping me grounded. Whatever it was, my sanity, my grip on reality, the last reason to hold it together, it’s gone.
It’s not just drifting. It’s not floating. It’s sunk, resting at the bottom of something too deep to reach. And I didn’t let go of it gently. The chain snapped.

There is no more tension between me and what held me steady. No more fight. Just silence. And in that silence is the realization that I’m not tethered to anything anymore.

Insane and hopeless.
Not in the loud way. Not in the screaming, spiraling way.
But in the quiet aftermath. The part where you realize the storm has passed, and all it left behind was wreckage. And you’re still breathing in it.

Anchor, Ship, Storm

Established 2007. All music on this and any jazzCittern site is 100% human composed and handmade by real live musicians. Thanks for listening!

We like to build things and watch them run. We love music, Ambient to Epic, Meditative to Cinematic... We enjoy building backing tracks for enhanced live performance... And we love to discuss NST and fifths tuning.... 

In 2007 I Googled every instrument under the sun, and saw there is a 'jazz' usage of just about every instrument. Even jazz bagpipes. Back then somebody tabulated the term "jazz" and its association with musical instruments, and just about everything was represented - But NO CITTERN.

And that year jazzCittern was born.

(What's a jazzCittern? The 10-string long-scale bouzouki is really the happy offspring of a Mandocello and a Bouzouki. This instrument, when tuned CGDAE, becomes an extraordinary jazz instrument - the extra course illustrates the wonderful symmetries available in fifths tuning. Chord building and scale visualization is a breeze.)

Virtually and musically yours,

CS
