Dream of Flying

Gentle GIANT

...too catchy, therefore worthless...

The right day

The Right Day

As if in a dream.
We walked our summer days out.
Through the trees. 
The dapples danced around our shoulders brown.
We're hanging out in brine.
Still, we shine.

As if in a dream.
We went our separate ways one Saturday. 
The shadows lurked and fairly bounced behind. 
We've got no time, you know. 
Say it ain't so.

Hold me, slowly. 
I'll chase them all away.
Say no more. 
I'm going.
Never planned to stay.
In the way.

As if in a dream.
We never took our chances.
Slim, though we, could never see.
Through a dream of trees. 
Just out of reach.
A potent preacher spake.

As if in a dream.
We never learned the dances. 
We coulda danced.
A happenstance or happenchance.
Took it away.
A miserable day.
For a cold embrace.

That's it... I'm folding,
Not holding anyway.
This alters nothing.
It's going that way.
I meant to stay.

As if in a dream.
There's just an endless stream of handing out.
Acquiring clout, roundabout.
A nervous man has the loudest shout.

As if in a dream.
We walked our summer days out.
Through the trees. 
The dapples danced around our shoulders brown.
We're hanging out in brine.
Still, we shine.

Hold me, slowly. 
I'll chase them all away.
Say no more. I'm going.
Never planned to stay.
In the way.



As If in a Dream

In this track I am trying to fit together the sound of the Strat with the synthesizers available in the #AKAI #MPC. For example, the second verse starts with a #Strat arpeggio followed by a synth #arpeggio. 
An arpeggiated Strat is present also on the chorus, and it is stereo-balanced with the synth pads.

All the effects applied on the Strat are stock ones available in the MPC, and the pre-amp is done by the #Marshall DSL-1. The overdrive on the guitar is generated by the DSL-1 #tubes.

I am experimenting the usage of #synthbass, using two different tracks, for #subbass and for bass. I like the thick sound I get from this approach.

I doubled the melody on the chorus on different octaves to have a bigger sound, and I think it works quite well, please let me know what you think in the comments.

I like a lot the intro-outro which is harmonized using 11th chords with the synth - mainly #Hype - and and with the Strat.

The title Verkehr is a German word that means traffic. I shot the photos in the #Verkehrshaus museum - museum of transportation in Luzern, Switzerland.

//TXT_0XX – Silent Realms

Inside us there are places
we have never named.
Calm, distant spaces
where everything is quiet
but nothing is still.

We call them Silent Realms
because they don’t seek attention.
They appear only
when we stop chasing the noise.

There live our oldest parts,
the ones that do not speak
but remember.
They remember what hurt us,
and what kept us standing.

Sometimes we brush against them
without meaning to:
a tremor in the chest,
a thought returning,
a nostalgia we can’t explain.

They are not shadows.
They are not ghosts.
They are inner lands
waiting only to be seen.

Oblivor is within you.
It is your silent realm,
patiently waiting
to be heard.

Space Orchestra  Part 1 by Johan Franz Lang (Remastered)

Brief Story of my musical life!
Hi, dear music lovers, 
*My name is Johan F. Langhendries and at the age of two, I became interested in music. Believe it or not, I was a very quiet child and I often listened to music on my father's radio. Jazz, Rock, Classic, just everything! A little later, at age 4 and 5, my grandmother learned me what a C-chord was on her piano, in the different octaves. Later on, she learned me also the other chord. At the age of six, I started making my own drums with wash-powder boxes and I used wooden kitchen spoons to make the sound of a “drum”. When I was 8, several albums like for example; “Let it be” by The Beatles, Block Buster by The Sweet, Black & Blue by The Rolling Stones, etc... were a part of my drum exercise experiences as a young kid. 

° At the age 10, I learned to play on a real drum-kit and trumpet and was also following music theory in two different music schools, for six years, to fill up my evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Saturday morning and Wednesday afternoon, I had to go to our music theory class and we learned how to write music, etc… At the age of 12, I had my first second-hand drum-kit and at sixteen i started playing in a Punk-Rockband. Lots of fun indeed! At age 18 I  went to study at private school ‘Haleweyn ‘Jazz-Studio’ in Antwerp and learned a lot more about Jazz music and how to play it... I Love to play Jazz, but Funk and Rock became the biggest part of my drumming experience.

– EXPERIENCE; I’ve played as a professional drummer in many bands (Belgium) like ‘Citizen Jane’ (Jazz/Pop) for 5 years with one CD recording and many concerts. I’ve been a studio recording drummer and have worked 40 years as a drummer;  Live concerts, Recording drummer and albums with different rock bands, etc. I still do and learn of course!

– MY PROJECTS SINCE 2004 are; Wannislas(aka) and Abstinent Dazzle (Band). With these two projects, I make some Funky, Dance, Reggae, Rock & Jazz (Fusion) music.    In my third project; Johan Franz Lang (feat. Space Orchestra) I make a kind of contemporary chill-out, easy listening music. 

- I followed a sound engineering class for 2 years (age 29) and do the mastering for my albums and sometimes for other artists - 

° Now, I hope you will enjoy my music and I like to get comments and positive critics if there are some, and of course I appreciate too see some sharing of my music on social media!
