I don't understand a single world, but this is fire

Ey Kolkhorst mal wieder mega nice vocals und lyrics

I like the pace and optimistic beats. Catchy vibes.

I like what u did here, really unique sound!

Your own unique vocal and sound so Schön✨

D flat Jazz

and as the night 
fades away
and the dawn
takes its place
only echoes
of a last embrace
this could have been 
something great

this really could have been 
something special
now we’ll never realize
our true potential

haunted by doubts 
in midnight air 
visions like ghosts 
burden to bear
maze of our minds 
search for the key 
still no escape 
this tragedy

Something Great

This piece will be performed at the Mostly Modern Festival next June by the American Modern Ensemble. This is a Work in Progress Mock Up before the Premiere.

Program Note:
This chamber piece delves into the vibrant musical traditions of Morocco, particularly those of the Amazigh people, the heart and soul of the Atlas Mountains. The earthquake of September 8th, 2023, cast a long shadow, especially in these mountainous regions where many Amazigh people reside. While the loss of life across Morocco was significant, the music itself transcends sorrow.

It explores the transformative power of music in the face of loss, reflecting the Amazigh belief in celebrating life even after a period of mourning. In their culture, grief eventually gives way to music and dance, a beautiful way to honour departed loved ones. This spirit of resilience and celebration infuses the very essence of this piece.

The evocative melodies of the High Atlas, often accompanied by unique percussion wind and stringed instruments, become a testament to the enduring spirit of the Amazigh people.  This work serves as the first movement of a larger suite exploring the rich tapestry of Moroccan music. It's a personal interpretation, where the threads of tradition and contemporary influences are intricately woven together.

While this piece aspires to offer a humble tribute to those lost in the earthquake and celebrate the enduring strength and vibrant cultural heritage of the Amazigh people and Moroccans in general, it ultimately seeks to foster a cross-cultural conversation. This creative interplay, however modest a contribution, seeks to transcend borders, enriching the global artistic landscape and building bridges of understanding across diverse cultures. Ultimately, this composition is a celebration of life, resilience, and the unifying power of music.

“Beautiful Things”

Beautiful morning
Beautiful day
There may be sunshine
There may be rain

I took a new road on my way to work today
I saw beautiful things
I saw beautiful things

Sometimes my life it tries to get so mundane
So given a choice between the numb 
I’ll embrace the pain

We are all terminal
You know it’s what they say
This life it’s incurable
It’s just a matter of the day

We all know this
But we choose not to believe
We exist in oblivion
We limit what we see

Sing off key
Live out of control
The best part of living
Is not knowing what tomorrow holds

Hold on to your loved ones
Or hold on to your gold
Cling to worldly possessions
Or fortify your homes

I saw a girl standing
She was standing alone
I stopped and said hello
When I left, she was all aglow

We don’t know the difference 
The difference we can make
The road you don’t go down
The chances you don’t take

Sometimes we trip
Sometimes we’ll take a fall
But I’d rather stumble then never know, 
never know at all

Sing off key
Sing out of control
The best part of living
Is not knowing what tomorrow holds

Beautiful morning
Beautiful day
There may be sunshine
There may be some rain

I took a new road 
On my way to work today
I saw beautiful things
I saw beautiful things

Stephan et moi nous sommes rencontré sur Soundcloud. Il m’a contacté en me demandant si je voulais faire une collaboration avec lui,  en entandant sa superbe voix j’ai tout de suite accepté.
J’ai composé la chanson de base et on l’a travaillée à distance. Faut dire que Stephan est originaire de l’Île Maurice mais demeure en Irlande et  moi je suis au Québec. Sur ma musique, il a composé paroles et mélodie et j’ai finalisé l’arrangement en me fiant sur son travail. Vous remarquerai qu’il n’y a pas de couplets et refrains répétitifs comme c’est la plupart du temps le cas et cela est voulu ainsi. 
Ses magnifiques envolées vocales combinées à une musique de genre  pop-funk-jazz donne lieu à une chanson vraiment originale.  

Bonne écoute! 

Stephan and I met on Soundcloud. He contacted me and asked if I wanted to collaborate with him, and I immediately accepted when I heard his superb voice.
I composed the basic song and we worked it remotely. I must say that Stephan is originally from Mauritius but lives in Ireland and I am in Quebec. On my music, he composed lyrics and melody and I finalized the arrangement by relying on his work. You will notice that there are no repetitious verses and choruses as is most of the time the case and this is intended so. 
Its magnificent vocal outbursts combined with a pop-funk-jazz genre music gives rise to a truly original song.  

Good listening!

### The Rose and The Rope by Laxá

COVER ART BY FRASER CORMACK - Angry sky over Mosstodloch

In Ísafjörður, Iceland, Laxá's evocative piece "The Rose and The Rope" unfolds without words, instead conveying emotions through its music. With a blend of 80s reggae-influenced bass and post-rock guitars and strings, the composition creates a rich, immersive experience.

Bjarne Guðjohnsen's bass pulses with the deep, resonant groove reminiscent of 80s reggae, setting the stage for the journey. Matthias Helguson's drums join with a steady pace, their beats echoing through the fjord's stillness. Jussi Siglarson's guitar melodies soar and dive, embodying the post-rock essence with layers of emotion. Mike Taylor's keyboards add ethereal textures, blending with the ensemble's soundscape.

The Heima Kvartett—Lisbeth Heima (violin), Sif Árnadóttir (violin), Natasha Guðmundsdóttir (viola), and Ída Sigurðardóttir (cello)—enrich the piece with their strings. Lisbeth and Sif's violins intertwine like fragile rose vines, while Natasha's viola adds haunting undertones and Ída's cello provides depth and strength.

Together, the music represents the delicate balance between beauty and resilience, akin to the rose and rope symbolizing life's contrasts. The composition evolves, capturing Iceland's rugged beauty and emotional depth.

### The Origin of the Title

The title "The Rose and The Rope" has a poignant backstory. During a tour, Jussi Siglarson and Bjarne Guðjohnsen stayed in a remote village. Their host, an elderly woman, had a unique artifact hanging on her wall—a dried rose tied with a rugged rope. Intrigued, Jussi asked about its significance.

The woman recounted a tale from her youth. During a harsh winter, the village was cut off by snowstorms, and supplies were scarce. The young woman tended a rose bush through the winter, finding solace in its survival. Her future husband, determined to support the village, crafted a rope to brave the snow and gather provisions.

In spring, as the village emerged from the cold, the rose bloomed, symbolizing resilience. On their wedding day, the man gave the rose tied with the rope to the woman, representing their balance of beauty and strength.

Moved by this story, Laxá adopted "The Rose and The Rope" as the title, reflecting the harmonious blend of emotions and themes in their music. It symbolizes unity, strength, and beauty amidst adversity, encapsulating the essence of their composition.

wenn dir die sonne auf die nerven geht, 
ist sicher irgendwas nicht richtig.
wenn alles ready auf der wiese liegt,
dann verpass ich's richtig,

ich komm aus dem nebel meines zimmers ,
geh die treppenstufen runter zur welt.
und ich erzähl euch dabei etwas, 
was in dieser welt schon lange fehlt.

lass uns das machen, 
was auf dieser welt schon lange fehlt
lass uns das machen, 
was auf dieser welt schon lange fehlt
lass uns das machen, 
was auf dieser welt schon lange fehlt

und auf dem spielplatz liegen spritzen 
mit benutzen nadelspitzen und mehr.
und die kassiererin hält die kasse an, 
damit der alte mann in ruhe machen kann


lass uns das machen, was
auf dieser welt schon lange fehlt.
lass uns das machen, was 
auf dieser welt schon lange fehlt
lass uns das machen, was 
auf dieser welt schon lange fehlt
lass uns das machen, was 
auf dieser welt schon lange fehlt


wer macht denn noch irgendwas wenn es keine kohle bringt

Euphoria

I have all that I want
Says the man who's sure
He really has everything
There really is no doubt
That something when I shout
It is heard and seen
I'm not what I seem

But call on him to work
And soon he cries 
That life is a Taskmaster
He has familiar quirks
But nothing irks him more
Than his life is faster
Life is faster

Realize your wants
And soon you'll find
That you don't need anything
All your cares and doubts
You'll find yourself without them
And then you'll see
You're not what you seem

But call on me to work
And soon I cry
That life is a Taskmaster
I have familiar quirks
But nothing irks me more
Than my life is faster
Life is faster

I have all that I want
Says the man who's sure
He really has everything
There really is no doubt
That something when I shout
It is heard and seen
I'm not what I seem

But call on me to work
And all I cry
That life is a Taskmaster
I'll cast them all aside
And on that change I'll ride
For my life is faster
Life is faster

Taskmaster
