wow..this is sublime... dark gtrs with a haunting reverb mixed with a classic melodic Mark´s vocals.. Love the psy vibe!

Absolutely love the guitar. Vocals very Bowie. Great work

I wish people would not compare Mark's voice to DB's because Mark's voice also has it's own distinct quality...

love these guitars.  they just drip with that thickness.

"Moods 'n Waves"

They say different moods come in waves, and that was something I had in mind when making this song! Also if you listen carefully, you may recognize a familiar sound or two:) 

I used two virtual instruments here: the synth lead, bass and the keyboard all come from Arturia Mini-V (emulating the ever-so-lovely classic Minimoog synthesizer), and the drum track was programmed mainly with the EG Pulse drum machine/sampler for iOS, using the 707 drum kit.

This was played using a 37-key Korg microKEY Air midi keyboard as a midi controller. Don't ask what the chords are.. I have no idea:) I just started stacking voices and chords on top of each other and this is where I landed. 

Recorded and mixed in Cubase using iZotope Neutron. Mastered with iZotope Ozone.
 
Have a nice weekend!

Moods 'n Waves

Dedicated to all the old guitar masters without whom I would have no inspiration. Thank them!

Across the bay
Many many many miles away
See a crescent moon
Reflected in a field of poppies bloomed

Take a step into this vision, soon
Grab a flower and throw it at the moon

(YOU)
Don’t ask me how you’re gonna get there soon
(Don’t ask me, don’t ask me, do)
(YOU)
You might as well throw a flower at the moon

Throw a flower, a flower, at the moon
Throw a flower, a flower, at the moon

Save our wrecks
Oh then, say the best
Get it off your chest
Just another shipwreck

Another shipwreck
Get it off your chest
Another shipwreck
Get it off your chest

This song is one of next mini album [where]
I’ve been writing songs about world  I see and spirit.

Huu

It’s pouring down hard out side
It’s pouring down hard in side

My angel whisper me
You don’t stop thinking
You don’t stop judgement
That binds you
That binds you

How come It’s rain
How come It’s rain
How come I’m wait 
How come I’m wait

You know
You know
Really what you want
Really what you want

How come It’s rain
How come It’s rain
How come I’m wait 
How come I’m wait

You know
You know
Really what you want
Really what you want

外は激しく土砂降り
心は激しく土砂降り
天使が囁く
君は考え続ける
君は判断し続ける
それが君を縛っている
本当は君は知っている
本当は君は知っている

Pouring （Khan ＋rakia）

Red Seas - (Live Recording Mix)

Red Seas - (Live Recording Session 2024 & Video Link)

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Si tú me faltaras (de tedio moriría)

Sour - Jumbles

Lyrics:
I could sit in the corner all night
I can mingle with the people
And have conversations with everyone
But you don't invite me to your parties
Any longer in your frontal lobe

You're using reverse telepathy
My messages keep bouncing back to me
Reverse telepathy

Oh, can't you see?
Won't you adjust your frequency?
We've been on this wave length for so long
 I feel that there's something wrong

You're using reverse telepathy
My messages keep bouncing back to me
Reverse telepathy
My love. it  keeps coming back to me
Reverse telepathy, reverse telepathy (can't you see?)
I feel like i'm dining on 
Edible electricity!
Reverse telepathy

Darling, won't you come back to me?
You're using your
Reverse telepathy
My messages keep bouncing back to me
Reverse telepathy!

Reverse Telepathy

There’s a map upon your face
Says join the human race
Often whispered sweetly

There’s a hunger in your eyes
Tells your stomach not to lie
Often whispered sweetly

Pooh pooh pooh pooh!

Is it magical?
Not so physical 
Metaphysical
Not invisible
Not divisible
Nothing risible 
Shoot the animal, Officer Dibble

Pooh pooh pooh pooh!

Often whispered sweetly

They rely on the ways of a gun 
Keep it simple
Keep it pithy
They rely on the ways of a gun

Something in your eye
That’s tugging at your heart
Something in your mind
That’s tugging at your heart
Something in your eye
Is tugging at your heart

Pooh pooh pooh pooh
