This song is a perfect image of the current situation in Japan.

Great to hear this again! Prescht richtig nach vorn!

Und gleich nochmal… Selten so ein kraftvolles elektronisches Stück gehört, Jürgen!

This is fantastic Jurgen! Raw, dramatic, powerful, driven with intensity of emotion! I wish our times were not so FU--ED UP. 😠❤️

Upon This Sea 
Janine Levinson 2023
Guitar and Mix: Jonathan Beckenstein

I don’t get tired, but I get weary   
Feels like my faith abandons me
And from the storm I have no shelter    
I have no boat upon this sea

I don’t feel bad, but I can feel hopeless      
And I can walk, but I lose my feet
I am strong, but I cannot carry    
I have no boat upon this sea
 
Upon this sea   
Upon this sea   
I tread a lifetime 

I am the spring that you will drink from
I give you life and cool your brow
You will not drown, but you will perish
And next to me you will lie down 

Upon this sea  
Upon this sea 
I tread a lifetime

I don’t get tired, but I sure get weary
Feels like my faith abandons me
And from the storm I have no shelter
I have no boat upon this sea

Upon This Sea - with Jonathan Beckenstein

D'après le film " The Man from Earth " de Richard Schenkman . On a remplacé le personnage principal par un tueur professionnel 😱 !!! 
Based on the film "The Man from Earth" by Richard Schenkman . We replaced the main character with a professional killer 😱 !!!! 

Composer : Philippe SEGUINARD 🚲
Songwriter : Guillaume DULER 🛶 

Lyrics :
Il paraît qu'il n'y a pas de sot métier
Le mien c'est tout simplement de tuer
Je suis l'meilleur dans ma catégorie
J'ai ôté la vie dans tous les pays
Je travaille pour tous les gouvernements
Les rois , les riches maffieux les présidents
Je suis très cher mais je suis efficace
Quand j'élimine je ne laisse pas de trace

Oh les scènes de crimes !

J'ai liquidé pas mal de vrais méchants
Mais comme j'assassine pour le plus offrant
Je ferme aussi les yeux des faux gentils
Car pour moi toutes les vies ont un prix

Oh les scènes de crimes !

Je frappe tel un virus sans distinction
Je n'ai pas de lois pas de religions
Je suis bien né avant toutes ces chimères
J'ai 14 000 ans et des poussières

Holocène de crime

Personne n'a jamais vu mon visage
Je suis une ombre un fantôme sans âge
Je suis un salaud dix fois millénaire
Toujours debout sur cette pauvre Terre
Pourtant je peux mourir à chaque instant
C'est pour vieillir que je mets plus de temps
Je sais que c'est très difficile à croire
Les preuves sont dans vos livres d'histoires

Holocène de crime

They say there's no such thing as a fool's job
Mine is simply to kill
I'm the best in my category
I've taken lives in every country

I work for every government
Kings, rich mafiosi, presidents
I'm very expensive but I'm efficient
When I eliminate I leave no trace

Oh the crime scenes!

I've taken out a lot of real bad guys
But since I murder for the highest bidder
I also close my eyes to false good guys
Because for me, all lives have a price

I strike like a virus without distinction
I have no laws, no religions
I was born before all these chimeras
I'm 14,000 years old and counting

Holocene of crime

No one has ever seen my face
I'm a shadow, an ageless ghost
I'm a bastard ten thousand years old
Still standing on this poor Earth

Yet I could die at any moment
It takes me longer to grow old
I know it's hard to believe
The proof is in your history books

Holocene of crime

Holocène De Crimes   TRANSLATED

A little ditty partly inspired by the events of this past summer here in the UK but mostly just about polarised society, the constant stream of misinformation we're all bombarded with and the state of permanent anger that everyone seems to live in these days.

Verse 1

So this is modern life.
Sitting on a train, staring at a screen,
Getting really angry, listen to a stranger, tell you about something that they haven't even seen.

So this is modern life.
Head up in the cloud, don't believe a thing,
You're probably being lied to, by that angry stranger,
Motivation's murky making money from your dreams.

Well this ain't the future I remember being sold...
I must be getting old.

Chorus

Buy, subscribe, listen, watch,
Worry, panic, sleepless, lost,
Clicks, likes, follows, the game,
Lonely, withdrawn, quiet, pain.

Eat, sleep, stream, repeat,
Alone, cutoff, self-defeat,
Consume, collect, gamble, spend,
Hollow, empty, collapse, the end.

Verse 2

So this is modern life.
Must be right or left, hate the other side,
Blind to other viewpoints, listen to the leader,
Blame a group of others for the problems in your tribe.

So this is modern life.
Sitting in a truck, heading off to war,
Not sure why you're fighting, something that the leader
said in some long boring speech you listened to before.

Now your future has been sold...
And you won't be getting old.

Chorus

Buy, subscribe, listen, watch,
Worry, panic, sleepless, lost,
Clicks, likes, follows, the game,
Lonely, withdrawn, quiet, pain.

Eat, sleep, stream, repeat,
Alone, cutoff, self-defeat,
Consume, collect, gamble, spend,
Hollow, empty, collapse, the end.

Modern Life

Stranger

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went 							


As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again

Well I could tell a thousand tales
Well i could tell a thousand lies

I could tell  a thousand dreams
That might not be true
Could formulate a thousand lines
You won’t believe that they’re true

Well, I could tell…
I could run a hundred thousand miles and more…

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went 							

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again…

- solo -

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again

One thing asking myself,
Has it been true ?
Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?		
One thing that i must ask again
Has that been true ?
Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?				

Well, i could tell…
Well, i could tell…

Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?
Did i really write a thousand lines
Then to get rid of you ?
I could run a hundred thousand miles
Well, i could run a hundred thousand miles and more
With a stone in my shoe…

時の風 / Whispers of Time
===================
いつになく凡庸な　夕陽と闇の狭間
ため息も溶けるほど

夢の中に隠した　薄れゆくフォトグラフ
二度と現れぬひと


音のない水面を
月明かりの波間を

時の風　白い帆の　船はゆく

　
戻れない過去とか
囲い込めない未来に

きっと未だ　寄り添って　「今」はゆく



沈む夕陽さえ
止められない僕らが

流れの意味　ゆく末を　知ろうとしてる



音のない水面を
月明かりの波間を

時の風　白い帆の　船はゆく


戻れない過去とか
囲い込めない未来に

きっと未だ　寄り添って　船はゆく

Lyrics:
The works of the flesh are opposed to the spirit
Creature wanted to be like the creator
Falling into the temptation of evil
Captive in nihilism, captive in idolatry
Lost sheep crucify their mercifull shepherd
Seduced by the darkness, despising the holy light
In hubris we open the door to hell on earth
Fallen mankind cries out, cries out for salvation

Sin and death invaded the world through disobedience
Are we judges, are we rulers? Fools, that’s what we are
Blinded by progress, we wander in confusion
False confessions, broken commandments, no repentance
We all bear the brand for our deeds forever
Savior stands amog us, reaching out his hand
Is the redeemer dead or has he risen?
Fate is decided by your faith, by your faith, your faith

Fallen mankind cries out, cries out for salvation
Salvation, salvation, ...

Fate is decided by your faith, by your faith, your faith
Your faith, your faith, ...

Salvation - your faith, salvation - your faith, ...

Fallen mankind cries out, cries out for salvation
Fate is decided by your faith, by your faith, your faith

THE NATURE OF LOVE (Ft. Molly Barnett)

Dear friends, I sit here philosophizing. Since the beginning of time, reproduction has been essential. Love seems to boost reproduction. And I believe that our bees feel love for the flowers they pollinate!

The Crew of Love

In springtime we may see the busy crew of love begins to act
they create all the wonders that nature provides
it must be something that we hardly understand
how it began, it is a mystery, who made these flowers for us  
They are the signs that life is going on

The crew also consists of creatures who are lively and diligent
it buzzes and it chirps all over our little park
it must be something that we hardly understand
how it began, it is a mystery, who made these flowers for us 
They are the signs that life is going on

The flowers of all our trees create clouds that are fragrant and magical
and I will never leave my dear home
it must be something that we hardly understand
how it began, it is a mystery, who made these flowers for us 
They are the signs that life is going on

I sit here and I think how terrible it would be if bombs start to fall down  
as they do on the Middle, East coast and in Ukraine
it must be something that we hardly understand
how it began, it is a mystery, who made these missisles for them 
They are the signs that life may take an end

Update: Added bass keys and simple melody lines (one with delay) throughout. Kind of nice not having my keyboard and needing to write with a piano roll instead. It's interesting

Lyrics

We are Sponges

Absorbsion of ancient
Greatest grandparent of sentience
Gold for unicellular adaption
Our evolution has complicated caption

Life's headline still written in bold
Hugging sea beds dearest calm unfolds
You took a niche as filter of deeps
Shown trees the way
Future air sees less weeps

We simulate you
Clones clever dished cleaned
Laws of attraction
Life's feather get preened
To most you're inanimate
A useful tool
Though cleaning Earth's flatulence
So breathe we do

I am a sponge
I see your clever
Good structured spicule
Consistence forever
Flagellated cells force filter some demons
We are good sponges for myriad of reasons

Mycelium of sea
Set toned fungi land
Pioneers of proofed evolutionary stand
You paved the path
Way of the net
Multicellular attractor
Filter us from death

Perifora hermaphrodite
Bedded 3D paintings
Beating Edge of our Earth
Give us galactic gravitational girth
Truth for the start absorb my heart
Lessons of love listing light from all start

We are Sponges

__________________________________________________________

The Carpenters are the Favourite band of all my celebrities.

Their songs have been a part of my childhood, my teenage years and even
now. Especially Karen's voice.
She had a fairly deep, medium-range voice, warm and colorful,
with an exceptional tone.
She was not only a singer, but also a very talented drummer.
Her brother Richard also has an extraordinary voice and does a lot of
backing vocals.

Their two voices alone amply cover the harmony of their tracks.
They're Unique.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love this song; it's well-paced, as well as the bass and especially the drums.
For me, this song is very hard to sing, 
because the key starts off very low and rises quite high,
and the tempo also increases.

Honestly, I struggled to keep up with the rhythm in both choruses.
As I was saying, my voice isn't what it was 20-30 years ago. 🙂

Demotrack...Thoughts of a seeker... contemplative, naturebound, a  short conversation with the inner self!
Hubert Stytz:          Music
Pee Gee       :          Lyrics

Good To Know

I´ve always been a seeker
A  lonesome seeker after truth
I´m a believer now
And I believe in youth 

Farewell to all those temptors
The preachers of hot air
I´m no longer worried
Cos I ...I ...don´t care

It´s true I´m getting older
But I´m still young at mind
And it´s good..to know

As I row down the river
Sliding down real slow
Sweet memories appear
And it´s good...so good..to know...

Good to know

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

Creator and conductor of electronic and orchestral music: "In the best moments, in the flow, we are guided by heaven".

Creative Stations:
70s: My first tape deck at the age of 8. I created batches of mix tapes—much to the chagrin of my parents and neighbors.

80s: A mixer and two turntables. Even more to the chagrin of my neighbors. A short stint as a DJ at the Munich club Black Box—until the club went bankrupt... oh, oh.

90s: Creating my own music with Cubase 1.0, an Atari, and a Korg M1 synthesizer (no music theory, no teacher). The results were quite trivial… and it wasn’t the equipment, lol.
And then, yet another club where I worked as a DJ went bankrupt—oh dear!

That was too much: A major crisis, sold my equipment, took a long break—just listening to music and dancing. Then came philosophy, photography, and graphic/web design.

2018: A life without making music is possible but, for me, pointless!
A fresh start with Cubase Pro, new equipment, and new energy.

NOW: I feel at home!!!
A huge thank you to my wife for her love, support, and patience, to my Zen teachers for their spiritual guidance, and to the amazing SoundCloud community for their inspiration and support.

Music that inspired me and that I still love (chronologically):
- Beatles
- Sweet
- Electric Light Orchestra
- Pink Floyd
- Simple Minds
- The Cure
- Depeche Mode
- Yello
- Anne Clarke
- Vangelis
- Faithless
- Moby
For some time also contemporary classical music such as the composers:
Igor Strawinsky, György Ligeti, Arvo Pärt, Rebecca Saunders, ...
...and last but not least the many great artists on the soundcloud. Especially:
