Won't Be Around is a dedication to the rural and early American roots music of the first half of the 20th century--the lifeblood of America's musical and cultural heritage. The song is about telling a loved one that I'm fed up and moving on. I ask "Who are you going to run to?" "Who are you going lie to?" "Who are you going to rescue?" when "I won't be with you," "I won't hear you," and "I won't even need you."

Beyond the horizon

A Doppelgänger is a biologically unrelated look-alike, or a double, of a living person. In some cultures, traditions and stories equate a Doppelgänger with an evil twin and it is often portrayed as a ghostly or paranormal phenomenon, usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck.

I have a unique attraction for ghost stories, paranormal phenomena and all those creatures that hide in the dark, and I remember when I was a kid once I read about the Doppelgänger in a book and this "person" caught my attention immediately.
Then I grew up, and I understood the real meaning of a Doppelgänger, or at least for me: I am two, good and evil, and I decide which side I need in order to survive a specific moment in my life. This is not only me, I am pretty sure this is common with everyone any living being on this planet.

 Never know the direction my music will take me when I first start working on a new track. I wait until I am satisfied with a track and when I master the mastering program tells me the genre....LOL...This time it settled on Hip Hop.

SKYBOUND MISFIT AND THE SOULSPINNER opens with a storm of emotions and contrasting energies. It is an instrumental odyssey, an epic encounter between two colossal forces: Skybound Misfit, an aging, dreamy rock star who has battled a lifelong stream of adversity, and The SoulSpinner, a mysterious and powerful shaman.
Skybound Misfit, now 64 years old, has spent his entire life chasing the dream of becoming a rock star. His guitar playing is not just a manifestation of his artistic passion but also a reflection of his inner struggle and relentless pursuit of recognition. Every string he plucks, every solo he produces, is a cry for acknowledgment, an attempt to break through the dense fog of anonymity.
On the other side stands The SoulSpinner, representing a more spiritual and mysterious force. Her role is both as a challenger and a guide for The Skybound Misfit. As she chants her messages, it is like a spiritual duel, a battle between the earthly and the spiritual. Her chants are deep and meaningful expressions; in some songs on the album, she takes over the vocals, in others, she functions as a chanting background figure, bringing wisdom and perspective to Misfit's earthly endeavors.
Their "duel" on this first track is like a cosmic dance. Skybound's guitar riffs are fast, passionate, and full of raw energy, while The SoulSpinner's chanting is more meditative, almost like a prayer or a mantra. Together, they create a sonic landscape that is both conflicted and harmonious, a sound world where dreams, reality, humor, and tragedy blend.
This track is also a metaphor for the entire album. It represents the beginning of a journey, a journey full of conflicts, humor, self-irony, and deep existential reflection. This journey is reflected in each song, with Skybound's eternal hope and dreams colliding and interacting with the various forces and characters he encounters along the way.
Despite never achieving stardom, Skybound Misfit continues to fight, never giving up. His story is tragic but also filled with a kind of neurotic self-irony. It is a narrative reminiscent of much of what has been written by famous poets throughout history – deeply serious and tragic on one side but also filled with passion and a sharp and intelligent view of life's absurdities on the other.
This track takes the listener on a journey through Skybound Misfit's world – a world of unrealized dreams, endless striving, and an unwavering belief in the power of music.

Confidence is the second album from producer and multi-instrumentalist David Georgos (DE) aka Memum. Conceptually a continuation from his first critically acclaimed album Became a Leaf, it also draws threads from his earlier record Awakine which was released under the moniker Locoto. Confidence embodies the spirit of ambient composition by taking crystal clear and precise tones and melodies, and setting them into a drift of natural rhythms and textures. What unfurls is a musical examination of the delicacy and grace of plant life, a constant source of inspiration for Georgos who continually gravitates to the quiet life and natural landscapes.

‘I feel a strong connection between the beauty and complexity of plants and the variety of human emotion, intermingling in their cycles, fragility and resilience.’

The seed for this earthy collection of songs was sown in an old wooden house in Finland, surrounded by a wild garden, apple trees and groves of towering dark green spruce. The silent fields and subdued landscapes created the bed from which the album grew.
‘The landscape I was working in brought to mind the dreamy tape-sound of Stephen Wilkinson (@bibio) which I had been deeply affected by but it also seemed to reflect the contemporary Scandinavian music and traditional folk music of Japan that were important inspirations during the making of the album.'

Georgos worked with four singers on Confidence, Erin Lang, Anne Garner, Faira and Anna Marjamäki. Georgos and Lang are frequent collaborators and play together in the art-pop band Foundling. Georgos knew that Lang’s breathy and enchanting voice would be the perfect compliment to the album’s folky dream-pop opener Aalto, which takes it’s name from the Finnish word for wave.

‘The instrumental for Aalto offered the most natural suggestions for the song’s lyrics and vocal melodies like they were already floating there in David’s sonic sea.’ – Erin Lang

Anne Garner’s voice embodies a rare kind of sincerity on Timedrift, managing to convey strength and vulnerability in the same breath. For Komoriuta, Faira’s vocal virtuosity and solid melodic sensibility create a detachment that contrasts the plucky fuzzy piano tape loops and the song becomes almost a call and answer between the singer and song-bed. Though Illuminate began as an experiment winding together Anna Marjamäki’s vocal fragments with samples of Georgos’ own voice, what grew out was a mystic choral, almost Gregorian dreamscape.
Within the intricately woven nest of the voices, the guitar and piano, the field recordings creating the subtle impressions of rushing water, horse drawn carriages and cats purring, Confidence becomes an intimate collection of the first beams of sunlight after a dark winter nestled and still under a wool blanket. It is a reverence for spring, revealing the warmth of life in waiting and winding roots deep into a memory of solid earth.

Confidence was mixed and mastered by Henrik José at Funkhaus Studios, Berlin.

Lyrics:

When I was young I thought the world of you
You were all that I wanted then
It faded & I never saw you again,
But I won’t forget the love we had

Come to me now,
Don’t let me go
Stay by my side

Don’t let me go
Stay with me still 
I’ve missed you so

When I was young I thought the world of you
I was dumb to let you drift away
& though I guess it had to come to an end
No one else could have the love we shared…

& my heart goes out to you wherever you are…
